Nyjah Huston's amazing skateboarding trick 'to be remembered for years'
It's too soon to imply that Nyjah Huston has established a dynasty in the Street League Skateboarding series, an elite circuit in its second year. But the 16-year-old phenom and defending SLS champion issued a powerful statement during the weekend's 2011 season-opener by becoming the first skater to nail a backside 270 noseblunt in a competition. (See video for a visual description of the subtle-looking but absurdly difficult trick.)
For those who don't follow street skateboarding, high-level competitions involve jumping onto rails and over steps and other features while flipping the board underfoot, and sliding across obstacles with various parts of the board. The tricks require countless hours of often painful practice and many are so difficult that athletes rarely attempt them in competitions, where repeated falls produce low scores.Huston, a skateboarder since the age of 5 and long-billed as a future superstar, appears to have arrived. He dominated the Seattle competition, sticking one next-generation trick after another.
He had already earned enough points to seal the triumph before his last run, so he went for the backside 270 noseblunt and earned a score of 9.9, the highest in Street League history. Those who watch carefully can see how perfect the spin and timing of the connection to the rail had to be; the trick could easily have been judged a perfect 10.
"I've been working on [that trick] for the past three months and I was just waiting for the right time to bring it out, so it worked out perfectly," Huston told ESPN, which broadcasted the event live.
It couldn't have worked out better. Huston, who has shown flashes of brilliance by earning podium appearances at premier competitions such as the X Games and Dew Tour, earned $150,000 for his Street League win. He pocketed an extra $15,000 for performing the event's most difficult trick.
Said Street League founder Rob Dyrdek: "Nyjah is clearly a star and the trick he did today will be remembered for years to come."

Mann Dominates, M'Pumbu and Hale Advance at Bellator 42
In an exciting if overlooked Saturday night fight card, Ronnie Mann put on an impressive showing in his Bellator Fighting Championships debut, while Richard Hale and Christian M'Pumbu advanced to the light heavyweight tournament final at Bellator 42.Mann spent three rounds brutalizing an overmatched Josh Arocho, winning a unanimous decision in which one judge awarded him a shocking (but not completely unreasonable) 30-25 victory, while the other two judges gave him the more conventional 30-27 scores. The British Mann was making his Bellator debut, and he was confident and aggressive, displaying great positional control and violent ground and pound. Mann, who improved his professional MMA record to 19-2-1, showed that he's going to be a force to be reckoned with in Bellator's featherweight division, although he's going to have to beat much better opponents than Arocho, whose record fell to 6-10.
Hale beat D.J. Linderman by a razor-close split decision, with two judges giving him the bout 29-28 and one judge giving Linderman a 29-28 advantage. Linderman and Hale were close -- with Linderman perhaps having a slight advantage -- in the first couple of rounds, but Hale spent most of the third round controlling Linderman on the ground while trying to secure a rear-naked choke. The third round was enough to earn the victory for Hale.
Up next for Hale is a tournament final fight with M'Pumbu, who beat Tim Carpenter by first-round TKO with a big right hook to the chin, followed by right uppercut that knocked Carpenter to the ground. The referee ran in and stopped the fight as soon as Carpenter fell, and Carpenter complained that it was too fast a stoppage. But credit M'Pumbu for an impressive display of punching power.
In other Bellator action, Luiz Alberto Nogueira beat Jerod Spoon by unanimous decision, 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28. Spoon put forth a good effort in a fast-paced, exciting fight, but Nogueira is on another level as a striker. One of Brazil's top bantamweights, Nogueira lets the punches and kicks fly with speed and precision, and he looked great in improving his professional MMA record to 11-1.
And then there was the most inspirational performance of the night: Returning to the cage for the first time since suffering an ugly knee injury last year, Jared Hess looked good and made short work of Chris Bell, forcing Bell to tap out just 1:40 into the first round. It was great to see Hess fighting again, and he demonstrated that he's back at 100 percent.

An important stat proved to be the story of the first stop
Reigning Street League Champion Nyjah Huston won the first stop of Street League DC Pro Tour 2011 in Seattle at the KeyArena in dominating fashion. Huston's score of 104.6 was more than enough to take home the $150,000, as well as an automatic spot in the SLS Championship in Newark, NJ on August 28th.
If winning the $150,000 wasn't enough, Nyjah won $15,000 for best trick on the last run of the contest after he had the win all wrapped up, Huston pulled a backside 270 to..
