NyJAH Huston

nyJAH huston:

He's one of the most famous skateboarders in the history of extreme sports, and the youngest one I think.


Nyjah Huston started skating when he was around 5 years old, and rides goofy. He was the youngest-ever X Games competitor, and has been competing against professionals since August 2009. He is featured in Element Skateboards videos This is My Element and Elementality, as well as a Silver Trucks video, Silver in Barcelona.On November 11, 2011, Huston released his very own video, Rise & Shine, under Element Skateboards.
In December 2008, Huston left Element Skateboards, and in July 2009, started his own skateboard company, I&I Skateboards.In January 2011, Huston went back to Element.Huston won the inaugural Kentucky Unbridled Spirit Award for Action Sports. On July 30, 2011, Huston won gold for Skateboard Street at X Games 17.


Nyjah is also a Jamaican, and I probably think that he  is a rastaman or if he's not he's a fan of Bob marley. Some proofs are his naturaly grown dreadlocks, his skateboarding company name "I&I" which is a rastafarian term for "we". You can see on the video below that his element skateboard has a rastafarian designed deck. Red, yellow and green with the emblem of the Lion of Judah.
