NYJAH streetleague win

NYJAH DEFENDS STREETLEAGUE TITLE

Nyjah Huston won his second consecutive X Games gold medal on Saturday in the STREETLEAGUE final, winning on every section of the three-part course. Paul "P-Rod" Rodriguez, the gold medalist at X Games Los Angeles 2012, took silver, followed by newcomer Manny Santiago in third.
"I was so nervous. I've never felt that much pressure," said Huston, the 2012 Street League champion. "I've never felt a feeling like that before ... Congrats to Paul. He gave me such an amazing battle and made me work for that so hard."
After brief rain delays on the course, Huston charged on his first of two attempts in the Flow section with a run that included a massive backside 180 nosegrind on the Hubba ledge. He then won the Control section with a 9.1 for a technical kickflip to frontside hurricane grind, extending his lead in Street League's elite "9" club as the skater with the most scores of 9.0 or higher.
"Everyone out there is killing it so hard and the progression is going at such a high level," Huston said. The win gives Huston his sixth X Games medal, a haul that includes last month's Street gold in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, a win at X Games Los Angeles 2011 and the Real Street video contest gold from 2012. This also makes Huston undefeated in Street League competition in the first year of Street League's new partnership with X Games.
"Each and every contest it gets gnarlier and gnarlier," Huston said. "You really have to give it your all."
