Huston Takes First Ever Street League Contest

Nyjah Huston pocketed the biggest payday in skateboarding, $150,000, Saturday in Glandale, AZ at the inaugural Street League skateboarding contest, The DC Pro, at the Jobing.com arena. He edged out new sensation, Shane O'Neal, and Torey Pudwill. Street Leage Skateboarding is MTV realtiy television star, Rob, Drydek' s new business venture that has been years in the making. It uses a state-of-the-art instant judging system. The judging system creates little skateboard chess games since each skater knows the score he needs before each attempt."It was finally time for the world to feel it,'' Dyrdek said. "It was an incredible start. More than that, all the skaters know this is truly an incredible way to present skateboarding. It's the most pressure they've ever had, but was also the most fun they've ever had.''Huston clinched it with a gap to boardslide kickflip out. This win puts to rest all the chatter about Huston being underscored at two separate Maloof Money Cups, a contest which he finished second twice. 1. Nyjah Huston - $150,00 2. Shane O'Neal - $80,0003. Torey Pudwill - $25,0004. Sean Malto - $10,0005. Chris Cole - $7,5006. Chaz Ortiz - $6,0007. Chris Cole - $5,500 Photo: Shiago

Oakley's Love and Guts Art Show Comes Home to Southern California

Oakley's Love and Guts Art Show Comes Home to Southern CaliforniaFrom: oakley_global_sportsA lot of the good ones die young, as they say. And it's just as true in Skateboarding as it is anywhere else. Through this bitter line, Oakley's Love and Guts - Eyes Wide Open - Art Show was born in Southern California back in 2005, paying homage to those involved with skateboarding who have lost their lives too soon. After traveling the world for a few years, Love and Guts finally found its way home. With the Maloof Cup event going down in Orange County this summer, it was only fitting to grace the region with the vibrant event while the skate world converged. With the help of Vitamin Water and Active Ride Shop, Oakley took over "The Camp" in Costa Mesa and brought Love and Guts to life yet again.

Road Tested With Gravette

"I remember waking up the next morning and being like, did I tattoo my nipple black. I couldn't figure out if it was a dream or not, and I didn't want to look." That my friends is pretty much the best way to open a post, a heavy quote from a heavy individual. It's from the newest installment of the Volcom series Road Tested, the David Gravette edition. He is one of my favorite young skateboarders out there. He's that new breed that can do it all. He along with guys like Grant Taylor and David Loy can skate everything. From the streets to transition they have it all wired, and Gravette is the badass of the group. In reference to the his Honolulu airport story, the same exact thing happened to me in that airport, it's just I wasn't flying first class. Plus, someone stole the autobiography of Salvador Dali I was reading when I passed out, so not only did no one wake me up, someone stole my book off my chest while I was passed out.

The three will once again be the biggest stage in skateboarding in competition for a large cash prize. Drydek and skateboarding and reality super-star, Ryan Sheckler, have both gone on the record to claim this will be the next big thing in skateboarding.The first event of Street League Skateboarding is set to kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on August 23 at the Jobing.com Arena.

Gravette WIns Maloof Best Trick

David Gravette is one of the best young skaters out there. From street to transition he has it wired, and he proved it at the Maloof Money Cup on Sunday when he won Best Trick for his 50-50 kickflip out on the rainbow rail. I personally preferred his 50-50 to beer chug over the rail, which is one of his signature moves. Check out his part in the Thrasher video "Prevent This Tragedy" for further proof.Here's a video footage of Gravette and Geoff Rowley during the Best Trick..

More On The Maloof Controversy

Last Sunday there was a bit of an uproar at the 2010 Maloof Money Cup OC. The unbeatable Chris Cole was supposedly beaten by the kid with dreadlocks as long as his body, Nyjah Huston, but in the end still finished atop the leader board.
