Put A Third Finger Up Greg

By: Tom Morin

The Lutzka
The Lutzka has won the Tampa Pro for the third time making him the only person to ever do so. If I'm not mistaken I hinted that I thought he was going to do it days ago, click here. P-Rod finished 2nd and Chaz Ortiz a close third. The final was stacked featuring the likes of: Busenitz, Dompierre, Keagan Sauder and Pete Eldridge.

In the best trick contest it was...You know what? It must be hard to judge a best trick contest, with names like: Koston, Torey Pudwell and Jereme Rogers, you know hammers were being thrown. And to decide which hammer was the best must be stressful. I mean, Shuriken Shannon, who finished forth, could of easily won with his kickflip across the box to grind down the ledge, and a shove-it backside 5-0 on the box. In end though, it was Javier Nunez and his nollie front heel to switch 5-0 across the box that brought it home.

Another year, another great Tampa Pro, and another win for The Lutzka. Greg killed it, and now has more Tampa wins than anyone. He may do the Dew Tour and the X Games and all, but the next time he hears someone giving him shit for it, he can be like, "I've won Tampa three fucking times, and everyone knows that's the only contest that matters."

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."
