Nyjah Huston Made History in 2025!!!

And this is huge that they didn't count that switch frontside flip in his first line. Yeah. Gave him an extra try. But this is kind of how Naija operates, right? He's not scared of a little bit of pressure. I think he thrives on it. This nollie back nose blunt. Popping nollie and turning your back to the triangle ledge makes it so scary. I will say the judges haven't been scoring the triangle that well. But! Nine even. Nobody's nollie back nose blunted it. Nine even for Naija in the nine club. Naija putting on the right tunes. Coming in switch. Looking like sweating. Setting up for the heel. I've talked to him about this. So that was a switch heel front 5 180. But he does it on accident. And he just he just goes with it? Yeah I mean he's like you know if something's taller it's a little hard to swivel it all the way into the tailslide. But he's like if I switch heel and it locks in the 5-0 he knows he could just kind of turn it around. He doesn't really kind of just switch heels at it and just takes whatever he gets. I really like that though. Switch heel front 5 180 is so sick. Yeah that is a very cool trick. And it's like it's convincing. You know? Yeah I mean he does it perfect. Nine one. He might. I mean his board's backwards. Yeah it didn't count for his run. Wow that was so well done. Yeah we got to see that one again. He kept that look like he kept it so level. Yeah he has this switch heel flick and it just the way it kind of just flips quick right under his feet. Catches with that front foot too man. And it makes it so consistent. Nine one. I mean that's three nines in a row for Nigel. Look at that. The second chance qualifier for a tie worked the same way. Goes to the run score. Well we're gonna find out what that scores. There is no holes in his game. He can do anything. He can. Dude that was so good. That's huge. Nollie inward heel. Look at the look man. He just looks like he is he's feeling it right now. This is very well could be four straight nines in a row. 9.3. Way back in 2010. Here we are it's what 15 16 years later. Nigel Houston still on top. And he looked a little bit little tiny bit shaky in the line section in the knockout round. But then in single tricks it was over. He's never looked better to be honest. Rattled off four nines in a row. And really the only thing that went wrong with this first run. Is a camera guy got in his way. It's the only thing. Don't hurt him. Is he is that his 99th nine? What didn't he do? And everything was to perfection. Switch nose grind. And then this switch frontside flip. Look at the hang time. 99.3. There you go. What a start. We are always witnessing history with Nigel. But I have a I have a feeling we're gonna see one more notch in the old belt tonight. He would have sat that thing. Nigel going for his hundredth nine. Nollie back nose blunt slide the triangle. What do you think? I think it could do it. Nollie back nose one is such a hard trick. Especially coming off this angle. Up over. And then getting out of the back nose one off the triangle. Would be so hard. So just the way that triangle is. There it is. Welcome to the 900 club. Nigel Houston. 900 points. Century. We'll take it. Look at this. Nollie up over. And then able to get the slide perfect enough with the wheels on top to push it out to regular. A lot could go wrong there. And we have 100 nines. I want to see that highlight reel. I don't think anybody is ever going to come close to that. All right. Nigel Houston. He's got a nine three and a nine zero. Oh he's just on one. The smiling and the. You can tell when he when he's in his zone. It looks easy for him. And then you feel like it's it's inevitable. He's going to get another one. Another nine. And then and then another win. We'll see. It's fun to watch. And look at this. The dose Azul replay switch heel crook. That pop flick pinched it. Nice just in the pocket right now. This is like when you talk about people in sports in the pocket feeling good. Knowing it's going to happen. That consistency. Nigel is in such a good zone. That's exactly how you want to feel on your board. Things are working perfect. That was a hundred one nines now. A hundred and one. We'll add that one to the editor's list. It is a magical night here in Miami for Nigel Houston. It's fun to watch. Set and sail here in Miami. The switch frontside heel. Perfect. What are we at? 101. That's 102. Gustavo had the lead for a second. Nigel Houston. Setting sails and taking it back with the switch front heel for the 9.1. Talk to me, Sean. That's it. That's a wrap. Nigel is getting his one hundred and third nine. And winning the first stop. The dominance continues. Even Gustavo Ribeiro can't be mad at this situation because that was beautiful. That was beautiful. Perfect. So much can go wrong down that MLK gap, especially with the nollie backside flip. That is one of the more inconsistent flip tricks down a gap. And Nigel just handled it like a boss. Nigel Houston. One hundred and third nine club. We don't expect Nigel to bail the same way twice. Very jarring landing. Nollie back nose blunt is a serious trick, though. But it is one that he's just gonna, you just expect him to make it. Yeah, 100 percent. Nollie back nose blunt. Kind of power slid a little on the landing, but made it work. Yeah, perfect. Whatsoever. 30 minutes to go. Nigel Houston. See if Nigel can get in the mix right here. A strong finish for Nigel back nose blunt. And the kickflip back D was in time. And he boosted it. It had two kickflip back flips on a bump. It's a big rail and on the quarter pipe. So great recovery after bailing his first trick on his first run. Coming back, putting it all together perfectly. Yeah, it was a big moment for Nigel. That could have got away from him quick. For a third place. That was back in the day. I was skating against Nigel when he dropped in the 9.9. Nigel, nollie back nose blunt. Nobody's nollieing out of that bank onto that big rail other than Nigel. Nigel and Yuto gave it an attempt. Yeah, gave it an attempt. But nollie back nose blunt. Just a solid, respectable trick. Definitely going to be a very high score. Nice. An 8.8 puts him into first. He needs it. Flip so wrong for his standards, but it's a contest. He can land anything. Look at the distance. You're right. Weird flip. Caught it primo, but it's all good now. Yeah, not one that Nigel is going to repost anytime soon, but he'll take the score. Nigel getting it done with a switch frontside flip. Okay, Nigel Houston. Two zeros on the board. Coming back for it. There we go. Nigel's not missing that three times in a row. No way. He's such a fighter when it comes to stuff like that. Switch heel front tail. So sick. Look at this, too. Just barely gets that nose all the way on there. Nine even. Okay. It'll be a very profitable month for Vincent Malou in the contest here. But Nigel doesn't have a third score yet. What's he got? Coming in switch. Four-step with every fiber of his being. Yeah, that looked like it almost stuck for a second. That was heavy. Switch heel crook or back nose grind. We got to look at the replay. That was like a back nose grind. I'll give that a back nose grind. You can see that in the Diaz to Zul replay. This is going to be the view. Look, he kind of balances it. But that was sheer will. 100%. I think if you're in the streets, you're probably bailing that one. But in the contest, you're like, got to take anything. 9.2. Nigel Houston into second place. And I mean, look, he's got a drop in 8.5. That's a lot of room. Yeah. And then finish the year with a second place in Las Vegas at the takeover. That's where Gin Wu got the win. Nigel's on the course. Properly done switch crook. Kickflip back D on the quarter pipe. Nigel's so good at putting a trick on every obstacle hanging onto the nollie backside flip. Nigel not missing a beat out here. First run. Besides getting a little sketchy on the nollie backside flip, that run was absolutely perfect. Absolutely perfect. And even that nollie backside flip, I know it's like a little twinkle toe, but in the line, all good. So they're starting out half cab crook into the nollie heel. And like you were saying, Nigel's really good at doing the big tricks, right? The switch crook, the half cab crook, the nollie heel back lip. But he also throws in the kickflip backside disaster, the nollie backside flip. So much variety. Nothing similar about any of his tricks. No, he had it all. That was an insane run. The only thing I could say is he ended just a touch early. I felt like he had eight seconds left that he kind of got lost, but nollie heel back lip should make up for that. Yeah. 9.2. Second place, Nigel Houston. Gordano Russell cheering him on with Gordano Russell's dad. Okay, what's a switch heel crook worth? It's worth a lot. This trick is not easy at all. Nobody does it down hubbles like this. As you can see in the Dios Azul replay. Skateboarding's funny like that. His last switch heel crook flipped perfect. Didn't land it. That switch heel didn't flip particularly how we wanted to, but he was able to make it happen. It looked like maybe a little rocket. He didn't push it down. Yeah, just a touch. But once again, that's why he's the best. The trick's not over until it's over. Land anything. Reel it in. 9.2. So, Nigel Houston back into second place with an 18.4. Beautiful. He's got a 9.2 and a 9.2. He needs two more of those. Here we go. Oh, he puts it down. Nollie nose blunt. Perfect. The dominance over 15 years from Nigel, just seeing tricks like this over and over and over again for 15 years is so crazy. Nollie heel nose blunt. Perfect. The guy just doesn't slow down. I think this should move him into the lead. A 9.3 will do it. It's close. It's going to come down to the last tricks. 10.1. Good enough for second place. Overall score, 27.5. One tenth of a point behind Sora. Sorry.
