Nyjah Huston
"Obviously I'm super stoked on this year, it was really ideal," Nyjah Huston said after claiming the win. "Having a straight sweep is something you cannot expect or set a goal for, but this season really just went well. I have been practicing a lot and added a lot of new tricks," he added, including this backside flip.

Cab flip for the win at the end of the night. "Rather than doing a trick to beat the score, the key is to do a trick you feel comfortable doing," said Huston. "I had landed the caballerial kickflip multiple times in practice and I knew that I could land it."

"It's also a little sad that the season is over, because I have so much fun skating these Street League events every time," said Huston. "I have been able to win on all the different courses they made all season, and there was some especially dangerous stuff out here tonight. It feels good to know that I can go out on a course and be able to adapt."
