Pamela Rosa and Nyjah Huston claim first place at the 2019 Street League in London, UK. Nyjah dominated a high-pressure final featuring the world’s best street skateboarders, the 24-year-old from Laguna Beach, California, took the win in what was also the first official qualifier event for skateboarding’s debut at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Meanwhile, Brazil’s Pamela won in the women’s event with a .1 point advantage.
