How medal event is judged:
1 heat of 8 athletes participating in three 45 second runs each. Best run counts, scored 1 - 100. Judges will score competitors throughout the contest.
Skateboard street is a style of skateboarding that takes place on a course simulating urban terrain using everyday objects such as curbs, stairs, handrails, benches and quarter pipes as obstacles. Skateboarders use these obstacles to perform a variety of tricks, grinds, and slides, often combining multiple maneuvers into a single trick. Skateboard street requires a high level of creativity, adaptability, and technical skill, as riders must be able to navigate the urban landscape and perform tricks with precision and control. Competitions in skateboard street involve riders performing a series of timed runs, with judges evaluating the difficulty, execution, and originality of their tricks.

Nyjah is a legend that helped define contest skateboarding. He’s been instrumental in pushing it as far as it’s come. But it’s clear now that there’s a changing of the guard. These guys in Japan have officially taken it to the next level.

Well he also had ACL injury.. Nyjah's legs not the same, anymore.. ACL can really mess you up.. Maybe lose a micro sec of quickness.. So possibly certain obstacles is better for him than others..

[@lumenmobileautodetailing4384]

@@DanCeen-c2b totally understand how injuries can affect things. Even still, Nyjah never had the technical level these guys are showing in park skating. Big handrails and epic stuff? Absolutely. He’s always been SO consistent with a great bag of tricks that he packs in to runs. But these young guys have a level of technical ability we haven’t seen before, partially in credit to guys like Nyjah who paved the way for them.

@@lumenmobileautodetailing4384 nah nyjah can definitely learn the same tricks he just takes his own bag to the next level, he has insane technical tricks himself. These Japanese dudes just have a different bag of tricks but in the end, nyjah i think is still better today. He can do anything on anything, everyone else does the same hard insane tricks, the only person i think is close to his level or at it would be yuto, he can also do anything on anythinf

[@A-LittleMoreContext]

Dude, I've been a fan of Sora since I saw him Gazelle flip a 10 stair at the Mountain Dew tour like... 8 years ago? And got scored the most criminally under scored ever to lose the gold. I'm so happy to see him win his first X-Games gold. His trick selection is completely unmatched and mind boggling. If you don't skateboard at a level where you can picture the tricks he's doing, I can understand why they might not look amazing, but trust me, they are insane.

[@razorbackroar]

Same buddy but it was not 8 years ago he was 17 & Aurelian Gerald did the ghetto bird & beat him by 1 point. Sora should have won that was the first & last gazelle flip will ever see in a tournament.

super nice tourney, so happy for all the skaters, seems like it was really fun to skate there, also such a nice growd, congratz Sora!

The last trick alone would score super high in best trick

[@dongiv196]

I think it's harder to land all of that on your first run... By the 3rd run you've had a better feel of the tricks...kinda why I wouldnt have given Yuto a 9.4 in Paris for a trick he tried 4 times vs what Jagger landed first try.
