It’s crazy seeing him all grown up now , I remember him being 14 skating with pros
@@RobbieStacks90how old are you?
@@RobbieStacks90 nigga why you always gotta comment some of the most stupidest shit ever
FELICIADABOATT fr like nigga what
@@hemanths2230 to damn old call police fam
@@RobbieStacks90 bro if you being real you need to be locked up lmao that's some sick shit
Literally remember playing against him in tony hawk and dude was barely 12🤦🏽♂️
I used to skate for about 6 years. I remember skating in Sacramento at a local skatepark (he's from Davis which is 10 minutes from Sac) and I see the kid you see in all the Tony Hawk Games. Kid could shred and he was super nice! Handed out stickers to everyone. Good guy.
Egor my apologies sir but your information is false. The one game that deserves a remaster is American Wasteland
@Egor come to think of it...I really enjoyed project 8.
Egor remake fortnite
Egor has heard the prophecy
Dude was the only kid on project 8 me being the kid I was of course rocked with him.
Remember when he was the dreadheaded kid in Tony hawk underground 2
I don't think he was in Tony hawks underground 2
@@justin343wh yea he deff wasn't haha
Project 8
who the hell says "twenty o five" instead of two thousand five?
I thought the same, fucking savage.
skaters and black like to make up their own language as a result of their ignorance which they celebrate...
@@johnnytran5825 Do they celebrate run on sentences?
@@CaneCorso45 you libtard, this is slang... get a life rather than attacking grammar.. say something with substance
@@CaneCorso45 😂😂😂
It's crazy, when I was around 15 years old in the mid 2000s I was really into skateboarding and I saw nyjah on a element termite vhs. I remember thinking that this kid was going to be the future of skateboarding. That was spot on. When I think of the really good pros at the time it's crazy how he blew all of them out of the water. Some of them like Paul Rodriguez and Chris Cole hung with him for a while.
I remember watching that 05 x-games. Man time fly
Damn on that first win you can see how humble he was back then. He’s still killing it. Well deserved Ninejah
This man been on a grind respect
ServingCocktails literally
This is dope af.
I remember him when he was really young on tony hawk game lol him tony hawk and ryan shackler my fav skaters
An 11 year old pro and all these people are hating... ok 😂😂😂
Timexdistance he even said it’s good and bad to go pro young
Funny thing is I used to watch him growing up dude is a beast
This is what *"Glo Up⬆️"* means....I remember him winning the gold two years in a row with the psychedelic dreads 🤙 and no shit less than 2 years and multiple tourneys later he got a haircut and then I was like "yea he's a superstar now" lmao he has so many haters that are pure blood thrashers but there is no success without haters....period!
nothing but love and respect for my GOAT
That's very cool to have a Dad own a skate park. Will be unboxing the Nike SB Zoom Nyjah 3 next.
I love him so much.
Ya i was a senior in HS in 05 and seeing this kid nyjah flowing around was wildddd
Some people when jealous they be hating but can't admit it, I admit I envy the dude lol I'm his age and I wish I was as good at skating as him but he been shredding since he was what 10? I started at age 16 and stopped at age 21 had a few good years anyways props to Nyjah not my favourite skater but he does shred gnarly af. Extreme af.
I don’t keep up with skating but I knew him since the dreads lol unc always used to spend money on elemental boards
I seen when you got your last gold medal 🥇 Good shit. Much Blessings
Such an inspiration
Pretty weird watching Nyjah skate then having Stephen A pop up at the end
Skateboarding is already in the olympics it has came a long way.
My best friend told me. It's that kid with the dreads. Rocking the scene !! I saw SLS tour In LA just a few days ago were he was competing. Dame bro do you know how many kids feel like they grew up along side of you.?! Skating is pure joy and fun. I love it bc it's freedom. Thecommunity. The fact that most of not all pro skaters are very humble and nicest ppl you'll ever meet. Everybody else ? Is all about money
I'd love to skate with nyjah huston, like hear in Morristown Tennessee where I live at. Plus when nyjah huston skates he has fun like i do though he's really good, but that would be awesome to skate with nyjah huston.
Jah is his guide!! Show respect to god almighty for his livity and struggle he literally said that his livity showed him what jah has provided him with!!!
Its weird i remember when he first came out, i was like hes good for a kid never imagined he would be the greatest skater to date. I also remember when chris cole was barely starting 411vm rookie profile and i said ehh hes got some tricks nothing special, i was wrong again.
Respect Nyjah
Best skater in the WORLD.
Respect to nyjah
I wish to meet him sometime!
Those nyjah shoes at 0:34 👌👌👌👌
I remember how he is SKATEBOARDING NOW!
Damn he looks like his dad
very much so,
Just glad someone's keeping the flat brim hat look going
I remember him from American wasteland element video
Being at the top ..people start to hate..people r so petty..it sucks
The skatepark his dad owned was in woodland , it wasn’t in Davis ... Jah lived in Davis at that time tho .
Skatearmada4 yeah most people don’t know Davis yet alone woodland lol I’m from Sac
Lit
🐐👑✨
Damn breakout scene 05?!?! Guys considered an old head in the skate world but not really. Hes running it!!!!
King of contest skating
:58 and 1:11 twenty oh five and twenty oh six? Lmao
right? wtf
Very good skater
Whats the song on the first part?
Done with street league ?
King of contests
That's what they should've named the title King of street skating contests the one they have is inaccurate
What’s the song at the beginning?
Ballin ain’t a thing
I remember when he was just a little kid
When is he going to do his own reality show?
0:59
In 20-O-5? What
Just heard of Nyjah today but never knew how good he was or who he was actually. Tony Hawk led me to find the best skater today and now I know who that is. Now I need to find who the best Horseshoe pro player is. Bet y’all don’t know who that is.
This is not the best skater today please don’t listen to what espn tells you, skateboarders run skateboarding not big businesses
He said twenty oh five
First song please? Can’t make it out.
Ballin ain’t a thing
He had a huge advantage growing up on a vegan lifestyle without having to digest toxic animal products plus having anytime access to an indoor skatepark.
King of street skating....every single clip from skating parks
he has daddy issues...
smart ass alert 🚔🚔 why dont go comment this on every STREET league or x game STREET skateboard video
thru fail
you clearly know nothing about skating
luminati
Fix the title to King of street skating contests is most accurate. Can't overlook Rodney Mullen P Rod, Dwon song, Sheckler, LeBron just so many
lookat who LeBron shreds? Sick.
He's made over $6 million dollar's just in prize money wins! I wish I was that good!😳
That's his net worth. Money from sponsor ship deals is included.
Anyone else notice he’s saying twenty oh five & oh six? Feels weird 😂
idk....
Didn't know he is vegan, that's awesome.
barlowantonio HE WAS
He shot for the stars and landed on mars
👍👍👍👍👍
Anyone else realize his dad kept him from his mom
Puerto Rican’s where you at
GOAT = P-Rod
Nyjah is the lebron / mj of skateboarding
You mean Rodney?
Symon Rodney was a beast but nobody fuckin with nyjah 😭 just look at what he be doing
In 20-O-5
Jake Dennis I hated that shit so bad bro😂😂
He's got competition now. SkateGOAT is legit and has something that nobody else has ever had in pro skateboarding. Google SkateGOAT.
Not born talented, he just put alot of hard work in it.
One day I'm gonna skate with nyjah Huston, and he's my favorite skater
20 05
G.O.A.T
Sheckler is foo
11year old and already pro
I came by to check out the necklace
Illuminati: confirmed
i was thinking the same plus the tattoos and the split with the parents
He had way more style when he was younger
The voice over guy sounds like a college student project version of the 30 for 30 guy.
The hate is real in the comments if you seem him compete he wins almost effortlessly.
besides sls last weekend where he came in last and only landed 1 run
Who cares if he comes in last he could literally retire right now and no one would ever match his wins in street league...
@@dannyj5272 the other guy said that he wins effortlessly every time he competes. I said that isn't close to true. What you said is completely irrelevant.
No you said he came in last and only landed 1 run...you’re taking 1 contest where he finished 8th and trying to talk shit about it, grow the fuck up
You were prolly over there cheering when nyjah bailed like 90 percent of these kooks who consider themselves skaters
He is just priveledge !every kid would bee good if there dad had a skatepark
I thought u sas gonna say you’re wrong n here’s why
I personally don't like nyjahs skating for some reason. It's not that he's a bad skater, he's just kind of boring.. I dunno he has no style and never looks like he's into it.
Oh god it’s happening. Skateboarding is going completely mainstream. Kill me now!
Ryan Rediger it’s always been mainstream
You must be 6 years old because you are extremely late 😂
Started from the bottom now he’s on top of the game !
the bottom, is his daddy skatepark yeah thats not the bottom!!!
Question is where is his cool hair lol
Oni Lara gone forever and auctioned watch his Nine club interviews
King of street skating, hasn't won SOTY. lmfao
Facts
The year he should have won passed a long time ago. Thrasher wont recognize him like they didn't with Muska.
Wooord
@@steeleflex Why won't they recognise him? Curious?
@@erikleypoldt8275 it would be like if The Ramones gave an award to GreenDay
Definitely worth way more than 6m with his endorsements and his own shoe line
Ironic
Never thought I’d see Stephen a Smith in the same video as a skater.
He’s not the king tho? Chris Joslin is, obviously ESPN knows nothing about skateboarding and only cares about the hype beasts
Wtf nyjah is cleanest skateboarder ever.. watch his new clips and u see he most def deserve to be mentioned in best street skateboarder but i know there is tons of jealous nyjah haters on skate community
Dad
3:46 ruined the video
King?! Kinginamo
king of contest street skating
Ricky Hong hater alert 🚔🚔
Kawhi should of gone to the knicks...wait wrong video
No offense to Nyjah, definitely the best contest skater in the world, but Shane O’Neil is the best street skater alive today. Nyjah’s def up there though.
Kevin Eiford You have to be a great street skater to be a great contest skater...
Joslin better than both
How many skater of the years does he have? Look at his video parts they aren't all that
@@BG-fh5me I stand by my statement.
Skater of the Year is a political award. P-Rod hasn't won any, and didn't win it when he released his Me Myself and I part which was one of the best of all time. After that I lost all respect for the award.
Shane is the most technical skater I've ever seen. Can Nyjah do a switch flip back tail switch flip out? Nope. Shane can do things Nyjah can't and Nyjah does things Shane wouldn't even attempt. Shane is better at skating switch, and Nyjah skates bigger stuff than Shane. I like watching super technical stuff, and nobody is more technical than Shane. If you've got a skater more technical, I'd love to hear to hear about them.
Contest skating is about consistency. Street skating is about creativity, skill, and style. That's why I've got Shane O'Neil as the top street skater in the world.
Take Shane O’Neil to Hollywood 16 and ask him to BS noseblunt it...
He could retire today and go down as arguably the greatest street skater, and he is what 25??
He'll turn 25 in November
Bruh if nyjah wears that pyramid chain one more time!!!
Jenky Show - He’s entered into the dark world of “elites.” A select group of people. Influencers. He’s a pawn. There’s a specific reason why he keeps wearing that chain.
Nah that rodney mullen but najah is still good
Cmmon the King even I recon this is bullshit , put some Youness Amrani instead
