As the Street League finals got underway, Nyjah Huston showed his authority early, landing nearly every trick to earn gold. His winning runs included a Caballerial to noseblunt slide over the a-frame rail.

At the age of 18, this is Huston’s fourth X Games gold in Street.
The Real Snow Backcountry winners were announced as well with Canadian Mikey Rencz taking gold for his video part filmed last winter.
