Earning a silver medal in 2009 and 2010, Nyjah was determined to win gold. "It's the best feeling ever and my best win ever," said Huston. "After getting silver for the past two years it was a built up feeling that I wanted to get that gold--there's a lot of pressure and if you're nervous, it's hard. But I mostly put pressure on myself and have a goal to win."
Nyjah destroyed the difficult street coarse with impressive technical tricks, including a kickflip backside tailslide spinout and a huge hard flip off the rooftop.
Behind Huston was Brazilian Luan Oliveira represented for the group of Maloof skaters, earning himself a silver medal in Skateboard Street. Ryan Sheckler was the obvious crowd favorite, but struggled to land the tricks when it counted most. With one solid run under his belt, Sheckler failed to put together a big enough backup score for the win but enough to earn bronze.

I miss my skateboarding days... I've had a taste of just about every sport, & nothing requires as much endurance, agility & raw skill as street skating. What an underappreciated sport! To me, it seems like another example of this backwards world we live in...

I agree with you 100% I Listen to Pacifica Radio KPFK 90.7 to get the real news about the
"Association of Thieves and Liars" = Banks, Huge Corporations and our poor weakend Gorvernment.
Its good to know that there is people out there that are in the know and are not afraid of shouting it out.
You have inspired me today.
Im 35 I still skate when ever I get a chance although its just skating around on a long flat trail. Keep the faith your ever too old. I've seen guys way older than me on long boards and Its fun to get Hi 5's from the youth
Thanks again and Peace.
