102 Quotes by Nyjah Huston

I've always been relatively small in frame.

I was too young to really remember it, but at one time, my family lived in Hawaii and Fiji because my parents wanted us to be exposed to different cultures and alternative lifestyles.

My parents always did things a little bit differently. My three brothers, my sister and I didn't go to normal public schools - we were home-schooled. We didn't play Little League or other team sports. We were a skateboarding family.

I was raised a vegan until I was a teenager.

It's hard for our sport to pass into the mainstream, to make it onto 'SportsCenter.'

Everybody remembers Tony Hawk's 900 at X Games V in 1999. That was an iconic trick that went beyond the sport and still makes highlight reels.

I remember when I went to the first Street League event in 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. I was only 15.

I had been skating basically since I could walk. I started on my knees and would cruise around the local skatepark until I got comfortable enough to stand up. As soon as I went down my first ramp, I was addicted.

I'd say street skating is the most fun of the six skateboarding events for me personally. It's also because you can do it anywhere. You don't need a specific ramp or competition; you can just go shred anywhere around your hometown and have a blast with it. That's the best part about street skating.
