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.
