The Street League DC Pro fueled by Monster Energy hit the hot streets of Glendale, Arizona this weekend and Nyjah Huston won the event for the third time in a row. Coming into this event, Huston was in first place in the overall standings, and he kept the momentum going in the Southwest.
Huston has been slaying these custom-made courses all summer long, even with talent like Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez, and Chris Cole breathing down his neck. The riders all seemed to agree that the Arizona course was the gnarliest yet, but it definitely allowed the creme de la creme to shine through as you can see from the Transworld edit.
Some of the highlights of the afternoon included Chris Cole’s back 270 boardslide and terrifyingly-awesome tre flip to fake 50-50. Sheckler had some switch-ups goodies on the flat bar while Luan Olivera put down some super technical stuff on the bump-to-gap. Paul Rodriguez didn’t win Best Trick, but his back tail pull back flip was easily my favorite of the day. Official honors went to Chris Cole.
In the end, little 16-year-old Nyjah Huston was the big winner, and with a sweep of the first three events he’s sitting pretty going into the championships out in Jersey on August 28. Mark your calendars and tune into ESPN for all the action. Or, if you’re in the area, click on over to the Street League site for tickets and catch it live.
We Just got in the new Rowley SPV shoes! Super light weight, inside-out waffle that will give so much board feel it should be illegal.
Mack (our showroom manager ) was actually fortunate enough to be able go to the Maloof Money Cup back in June which included the Release party at the House of Vans in NYC for Geoffs new shoe (photos to follow). It was super rad to see some of the pros wondering around at the event. He also got to go on the Vans Super Bus and get a new pair of SPV’s and who was chillin out there while this was going on? Geoff Rowley himself. Anyway, get down here and try these guys on!
In addition, we also got a super sick colorway of the TnT5…the neon green that can be seen from outer space! Pules the PU-3 footbeads are out of this world, you got to try these on. Pick up a pair or come on down to the shop and try a pair on!
“Building and riding these boards has been one of the most best experiences I’ve had snowboarding.” – Corey Smith
This is what snowboarding is all about, creating things for yourself and bringing simple ideas to life. All the boards in this video were hand crafted and are functional pieces of art, this video is amazing and has a sweet soundtrack.

We had so much fun earlier in the week at the Rob Dyrdek Charmette Bonpua Plaza that we decided to give another one of his creations a go, so we pushed on over to the Stoner Park in westside Los Angeles. The Stoner Park—and yes, it’s really called that—is not the place to go if you’re feeling lazy and sluggish. In fact, it’d probably be more fitting to call it boner park for how excited we were to lay eyes upon it.
Rob Dyrdek's Westside Plaza
The Stoner Skate Plaza weighs in at 20,000-square-feet, and if you’re into street skating its probably the best park you’ll find in all of California. On one side of the park is a series of manual pads and ledges that evoke memories of the old Love Park. In the middle is a big ledge with a small ledge to manual pad next to it in order to satisfy all your combo desires. Check out that ramp-to-ramp too…a little intimidating at first, but hop over it once and you’re partying for the rest of the day.
There’s only one quarterpipe in the entire park, so leave your knee pads at home, but definitely come here ready to skate. To get the scoop on all of Mr. Dyrdek’s projects, cruise on over to robdyrdekfoundation.org where you can find out about all his plazas and even get a start on convincing him to build one in your town next! This one’s located at 1835 Stoner Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025.
