Monster Energy sat down with Nyjah Huston to discuss the upcoming 2018 X Games in Sydney and get a feel for what it takes to compete on the biggest stage.
Yes I am super pumped for X Games Syndey, it’s one of my favorite places I’ve traveld before so I’m excited.
Haha, yeah I’ve been to Australia a few times, Melbourne specifically. Actually, the first-ever pro contest I skated in was in Melbourne, the Globe World Cup when I was 11 years old. I’ve been back a few times since then, but I am stoked to go back.
This will be 19
In the twenties
Honestly I’m not a very touristy person, but I try to explore the city I’m visiting as much as I can, and find sick spots to skate and film at.
I’m a lot more used it by now, but I just make sure I’m maintaining my health and feeling good on my board, feeling ready. Day of, the biggest thing for me is not to overthink it and to just stay calm and have fun.
Haha, I did not know that.
It means a lot to me. X Games has always been on e of the biggest skating contests and I’m stoked I was able to win the last one. Excited for the first time it’s gonna be in Sydney.
For sure—my mom and my family and my group of friends have always been there for me. My homies have been with me for so long now and I’m honestly so blessed.
