Will Cole Keep To His Winning Ways At X Games 15

By: Tom Morin

Cole
Chris Cole has been on a mission this year. He won 100K at Maloof, had a rad part in Fallen's "Ride The Sky," massacred Wallenburg, won it for the Regulars at Goofy vs. Regular, won the "Reader's Choice" at the Transworld Skateboarding awards, and just finished 3rd at the Boston stop of the Dew Tour.

Now, with X Games 15 right around the corner, that brings us to our question. Will Chis Cole take X Games Street gold? He certainly has the ability. Cole has the rare combination of gnar and tech. He's got you on flatground, he's got you on rails and ledges, he's got you in transition and he's got you when it comes to throwing himself down big things. That's what you call the whole package when it comes to street skating. Oh yeah, and style, he may not have you there.

The usual suspects will be trying to prevent Cole from continuing his story-book year. Names like: Ortiz, P-Rod, Lutzka and some guy name Sheckster, Sheckler...Something like that. Anyway, back to Cole. Has all this winning gone to his head? Not at all. He was humble as could be with a $100,000 check in his hand from two days of skating at Maloof. If he wins a gold in the X Games, I'm sure he'll say something like, "Yeah, it was fun, I just like skateboarding."

Check out the videos below of Cole killing the Back Box skate facility, and his highlights from Maloof.

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."

Why would you say that about his style? I don't understand what that's supposed to mean, but okay? Other than that, good review. He's gonna keep rippin' it.
