WHY NYJAH HUSTON DIDN'T WIN OLYMPIC GOLD! 4 Reasons? Street Skateboard 2021 Tokyo Highlight REACTION

Nyjah actually didn't win the First ever Olympic Street Skateboarding Finals. How? Pressure, Starting Your own Brand, Too Many Slams, Competition? Let's discuss the possible factors that could have contributed to Nyjah Huston NOT WINNING a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Medal at the Olympic Games in Men's Street Skateboarding. Nonetheless, still have so much respect for Nyjah Huston and how he has transcended Skateboard Culture. #reaction #nyjah #tokyoolympics #skateboarding #olympicskateboarding #yutohorigome #nyjahhuston

I go for the fourth reason! It's Not the first time that Yuto beat Nyjah, he beat him in the SLS and X-games. Yuto Horigome is that damn good. Currently, rank second in the world! Anyone says otherwise, is ignorant. Japanese skateboarders has rise and rivals US and the world now!

Honestly no excuses for him... Overconfidence it's a Bad thing You can name the weather or every other things but they are professinals take skate as serious as any other sport and You have no excuses to give a bad performance in a every four years oportunity to bad for him for not make it to the podium cause he is really one of the best in the world and yuto man that guy was in his Best condition ever

I live here in Japan and I’m sure the weather played a role. It was in the mid 90’s F (31-32 C) and really humid. I went skating at 6:30 the same morning and it was hot. They were skating in the middle of the day. There were no clouds and the concrete is so fresh and bright. Tough conditions for anyone.

[@FlippinBoards]

@@FlippinBoards I wonder how much it being a new facility played into it for everyone? Fresh concrete and rails. Nothing weathered in or broken in yet.

"Style" something Nyjah doesn't have unless you count the style of a robot. Corporate Skater who if not careful will have a major downfall

[@sinikoncar7838]

It's so surprising. He could have done anything and take a medal but he kept on trying that cab flip over and over (like a newcomer, which is crazy - we are talking about Nyjah!!) He wanted that gold so bad and that's what cost him a medal I guess.

[@FlippinBoards]

Yeah he got stuck on that one and risked it all

[@alittlezZzen]

It's because he probably trained that one forever and I bet he had it on lock at his park at home. The rail there is so similar.. Guess it was all or nothing for him.

[@colinhawks2469]

Personally, I really have a bone to pick with that course. Concrete was hella bright, seemed like the ground was a bit rough, the overall layout and design really lacked flow and everyone appeared to struggle with figuring out their runs. The course also wasn’t very dynamic either. I remember the commentators talking about how the judges didn’t want it to be a handrail extravaganza and yet that was pretty much the course. There was even a panel that came off as “course debris” during Sora’s run during prelims! I think California Skateparks let everyone down a bit. This wasn’t their best work and I believe it consequently brought the overall experience down for the competition. Add in the weather/heat, lack of fans, the “odd” vibe that appeared to be present, and the insane amount of pressure…yeah, I completely understand why Nyjah didn’t have the performance he wanted. Tragic turn of events for him…but massive congrats to Yuto for bringing it home for Japan! Hopefully we see Nyjah again in Paris for the 2024 games!

[@FlippinBoards]

Truly appreciate you for expressing this in such a respectable manner- yep I saw that course malfunction.. and I have a feeling everything you brought up will be topics of discussion as 2024 prep begins!

[@retrokidbk83]

They should've definitely got the X-games involved with this to build the course as well as the way they did the events. Would've been better if the runs were at least 90secs instead of 45secs. It's the first time though maybe in 3 yrs the courses and the runs will be better. No one there seemed to be comfortable out there and played it safe.

[@imnikxd]

I think its an amazing thing that he didnt just try to get a medal, i believe he could have done some easier tricks just to get on the podium, but he wanted to do his best. Thats my take at least

[@FlippinBoards]

GOLD OR NOTHING! Yep thanks for commenting

[@RobSteez]

The last one you mentioned, everyone is just that damn good now. I also think him using up attempts on that fullcab flip back lip was alittle to buck wild on that size obsticle. But it deffs would have been the nail in the coffin and one gnar Olympic moment.

[@netmatrix75]

Important. By the time the next olympic comes, Nyjah would be 30. At that age, a lot of physical capabilities would be lower. Look at Manny Santiago. Yes Manny shreds and is awesome. But there is only so much a guy aged 30 can do. Almost every legendary skater we knew at any period of time reaches a peak somewhere. Look at Aaron Homoki. Even he admits that he can't really do much of those gravity defying heights as much as he wanted to anymore. Its not just skateboarding. Most athletes peak at around age 2x. When they hit 30, it would be very difficult. Most important is to stay injury free.

[@FlippinBoards]

Ugh.. this speaks many truths.. thank you for addressing this... I’d love for you to be wrong, but you speak the words of Father Time. Thanks so much for commenting

To be fair manny is still absolutely killing it bc he takes care of this body. Shit so are other older skaters. Idek how old neen is but hes still killing it.

[@christophernebo7529]

Agreed. To take it to extremes, look at Rune Glifberg at 46. His peak was probably in the mid/late nineties. I think for guys in skateboarding, peak competitive years are 18-22.

[@therealest1245]

true

[@R-SUPREME]

Nyjah was in prime position to take the gold on the second best trick attempt. Almost everybody that was in contention failed to land on this run. I cant believe he didn’t register a score on 4 straight attempts. Its not like him at all. I hope he can compete at the next Olympics.

[@joeyzze]

The course was also in shitty condition. In prelims it was coming apart

[@FlippinBoards]

Thanks for commenting!! And yes He will be back

[@FlippinBoards]

I saw

[@geronimosilveira7349]

We gotta remeber that Jagger, Aurelien, and Yuto all of them have tricks avobe 9,30, so Nyjah got to land a super crazy shit because he knew that a 360 flip nosegrind of Aurelien or bs flip sw 5-0 of Jagger are better than most on-lock tricks he have, even if there are "low" 9 clubs

[@ThePaulusUK]

I think also the weather. Shane O’Neill said his truck bushings were melting(?) or softer on landing. Nyjah runs v tight. Also in full sun that concrete was literally blinding. they should’ve built an indoor park

[@FlippinBoards]

Wow that’s super interesting-thanks for commenting and bringing up that point!

[@tommyboy9403]

Yep. Pressure. Definitely pressure. He's the world's No. 1 and this is the World's Best Sporting event. You are surrounded not just by the best skaters you've been competing with your whole life but the best athletes in all of sports around the world. A lot of eyes are on you. And not just the usual skate fans but also those who aren't that familiar with the sport because this is the Olympics. Half of the people are rooting for the top players but the other half is for the underdogs. You can see that he's so pumped up that it's gotten out of control. I'm sure he'll bounce back and wish for him to win the gold next time.

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

Nyjah usually skates better with pressure... but the Olympics are different because you skate for your country and people have expectations. I think the reason is that Yuto is too good. Nyjah went gold, all or nothing. With that cap flip lip he would have been close. I think this trick would got him 9,6 or so.

[@FlippinBoards]

Great comments-thanks for sharing.. yeah he definitely went all or nothing, but now Yuto has entered the picture as dominant force in the game!

[@steveperry7799]

TOM PENNY. Kids need to know.

[@dannyr333]

I mean I've been skateboarding since 98. I watching skateboarding for like 20 yrs seen so many dudes. Seen so many comps. Nyjah is seriously one of the greatest who ever skated. That said I was getting pretty upset when he kept winning skate league and x games so many times consistently. But I mean some calls were truly questionable like sometimes I thot the judges were being bias and we're FOR nyjah winning or something. But that said the dude puts out some sick skating parts. Like all I wanna say is I am glad Yuto took in a win. Nyjah simply didn't land those tricks that day. It is all good that is what competitions are sometimes you win sometimes you lose. But I kinda felt bad for him only because I was like to myself. Like good I'm glad he lost. But than I was like wait Huston even tho he's won so many times I still gotta be kind to him in my heart. Hey Nyjah will be hungrier next time and destroy the comp. Who knows. All I know is that all these dudes even tho may look like they suck cuz they may not be landing their runs. Their truly all the gnarliest group of guys in the skate scene nowadays...

[@OdaKa]

IMO this is a very unsatisfying loss, if you're looking for one to be glad about... It would've been a better loss if he had actually done his best and landed his tricks and still lost.

[@wra7h]

I agree pressure but not from everyone else not how big the olympics were but from himself I believe Nyjah Wanted Put down some memorable tricks down, I mean some real 🔨’s , sure Nyjah could have easily done a 270 back lip 180 out for the sake of putting points on the boards but how many times have we seen that and him win. I respect Nyjah For challenging himself , as far as those girl allegations idk about all that.

Nyj. At 26 is past his prime. His time of competition dominance will fade in the coming years. Had this competion been held 4 years ago, Ny would have won, and Pedro would have won park.

[@OdaKa]

Honestly, I don't think it was pressure, I think it was just a bad game plan. He wasn't skating with a strategy to rack up points during best trick. he just tried his one best trick over and over and failed to execute it successfully. He could have scored higher if he'd taken a step back and changed things up, done some easier tricks, but he went all or nothing. Like, was he planning on landing that same trick all 4 times? There must have been other tricks he would have done afterwards if he had landed that one trick the first time. I was shocked that he didn't pull his "mess up over and over and then pull a crazy super high scoring trick to win it all on the last attempt" thing that he usually does in SLS. I was expecting him to finally land it on the last attempt. It always seemed like he thrived in that pressure. Did not do it this time around.

Saying the pressure got to him is kind of bs. Maybe it did maybe it didn’t. You could say that about every skater who didn’t get gold. I think he just didn’t perform at his peak. There’s a million reasons why an athlete doesn’t perform at their peak. Anywhere from the food they ate the night before to just not feeling the flow of things. Baseball players go through slumps and can’t hit the ball for x amount of at bats. Maybe he just hit a small slump.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

The video title doesn't really do justice how bad Huston was in the tricks section. That was pretty embarrassing.

[@TheHausmanis]

I think the biggest two reasons is a mix between his Knees getting "old/damaged" and that the competition is getting stronger. Great video tho, i DONT think Nyjah is out from beeing at the top tho, but might "only" win 40% of comps during 2021 ? but Nyjah will probably suprise us as always. GOAT

Ahh I wouldn’t count I’m out.. he’s 26 and by next Olympics he will be 29 I believe

[@jamescorbett5729]

@@FlippinBoards His birthday is in November so he’ll be pushing 30. I didn’t see any guys that age on the podium this time.

[@peterplot2931]

are you even into skatebaording? "nyjah didn't win because of pressure" :D dude, he's the best contest skater in the world. Nobody on earth deals better with pressure than hin. what kind of explanation is that supposed to be? "the competition" ?? :D … dude, I'm not hating but just say what you think. or start developing an opinion.

[@FlippinBoards]

The reason I made this video is so WE can all address some of the topics/reasons that have been brought up regarding why he didn’t win. Self- pressure and a nations pressure are valid points. Thanks for commenting and sharing! 🤓🛹

[@happyedwards8134]

or how about he just didnt perform and was out classed. he is better under pressure, and his business partners wouldnt let him get so invested in the company that it impacted his performace at the olympics as its the BEST ADVERTISING EVER IF HE WINS!1 terrible bumbling podcast mate

[@FlippinBoards]

Could be - but the video is here so we can discuss . Thanks for sharing!

[@OdaKa]

@@FlippinBoards love your attitude, dude

[@gaylejao4922]

Its because of the cardboard bed hes complaining

[@gabrielswag8464]

Already won 1st Olympic 2019 !i think

[@hoodedcobra1531]

You need too be talking about why the HELL Alana Smith skating for USA with a TRASH ASS RUN!!!!! all runs together didn’t even get over total of 2points. They could of took someone a lot better tbh

[@FlippinBoards]

She qualified and earned her slot, but yes I would have like to see her score a bit higher!

[@hoodedcobra1531]

I get it she made it but you gotta do a Olympic run and go big… it’s not XGames where you can try again each year… you are skating for team USA and need to show the world why they pick you to represent team USA.. idk if she actually did a good run I wouldn’t been so mad about it

[@ProDoucher]

He didn’t land his tricks. That why

[@fantomenace302]

He might of let him win who knows but Nyjah.

[@FlippinBoards]

Oooooooo

[@skatedad7816]

🤣🤣

[@dnldmor08]

Its def not pressure. Nyjah is super clutch. Pretty much every SLS event proves that...not my fav skater just saying

[@carloschazt]

Age is also beginning to get taxed

[@FlippinBoards]

Yeahhh.. 😖

[@ephinskate]

it sucks seeing this generation of skaters slowly go, I see it alot with Shane in contests now.

[@shuzzbot]

What about the cultural appropriation of being black on a skateboard which is a white part-time. Surly you must have been thinking about that

[@PlasmaGoldOfficial]

I think that he was tired because he was on the oppisite side of the world an oppisite time 2 he didn't have enough time to practice right before it and 3 by the footage it looks like he is not good at grinding because almost all the time he failed the trick session.

[@gaelcervantes3243]

If Nyjah would have landed all his tricks he would have won by a fuck ton

[@FlippinBoards]

Facts he was tryna go pretty ham

[@MidnightTuners]

This was a weird video . Tittle should had been "my nyjah conspiracies "

[@punku5003]

I think Nyjah was actually hung over

[@skatedad7816]

His eyes looked like it!
