collected another $100,000 check courtesy of the Maloof brothers, and Nyjah once again went home with second.If you remember the first Maloof back in 2008, just about the exact same thing happened. The only difference is it was Paul Rodriguez who brought home first place to people asking what about Nyjah? Fast forward two years to this year's Tampa Pro down in Florida and it was Rodriguez once again first and Huston second.
It doesn't end there. Just last month at the X Games it was Ryan Sheckler who finished first, and guess who was runner-up? None other than Nyjah Huston. He's like the Buffalo Bills of skateboarding. In case you don't know, the Bills lost four straight Super Bowls in the 90s.
Do the judges not like dreadlocks? Maybe. Are they racist? Of course not, Rodriguez is Mexican. Do they not know what they're doing? Definitely not. I know Maloof judge Alex Moul personally, and I know he knows more about technical skateboarding than you ever will, just watch the guy skate.
So why is Nyjah Huston the official runner-up of competitive skateboarding? As of right know I don't know, but I will get to the bottom of this, stay tuned. All that I know is I have a new nickname for Nyjah, Jim Kelly. As in the quarterback of the above mention Buffalo Bill.
PS, I'm pretty certain Cole, Rodriguez and Sheckler REALLY ARE THAT GOOD. I personally watched them destroy Rob Dyrdek's top secret Street League training facility at an airplane hanger in an undisclosed location, more on that later.
