Nyjah Huston's 2012 DC Shoes part, Fade To Black, set to Metallica. Five minutes of big handrails and stair sets, including the front 5-0 down the kink rail, shot for his signature shoe launch.

Why skaters like it

Gets linked whenever Nyjah comes up, mostly for the huge rail clips and the kink rail ender. Commenters call it insane and point to it as proof of his rail skating.

“If you watch this and don’t feel anything you really ain’t about this skate shit my guy …”

Nyjah Huston has basically taken over in the last few years. Winning multiple X-Games, Street League contests etc (you might remember him as the little 11 year old with dreads). His Fade to Black [VIDEO] part with DC that came out about a year and a half ago is insane. Chris Haslam is still amazing. Love his recent part with TransWorld [VIDEO]. Any new trick that's made up (which is becoming pretty common) are given absolutely ridiculous and lazy names. Forward Flips are being called Dolphin Flips etc. The Berrics [LINK]. Eric Koston and Steve Berra build and indoor park and have a website for it. Pros and Ams will come in and film parts and a bunch of other things. They have Battle at the Berrics, its a playoff bracket style games of skate between pros and ams. They recently just finished the 8th one and Sewa Kroetkov was the winner. Every Tuesday on YouTube, Thrasher uploads a series called Skateline hosted by Gary Rogers. It's a quick and easy way to get caught up on some things that might go under the radar. Here is the latest episode. [VIDEO] Shane O'Neill - Shane GOES [VIDEO] This [VIDEO] is a ridiculous ad from Chris Cole that came out last month. And as other people have me…

If that blows your mind, check these out: [VIDEO] [VIDEO] They were submitted to this subreddit this week so there's a pretty good chance you've seen them, but feel free to watch them again and again. I use them to get pumped before a sesh now. When I stopped skating in like '06, the big shit was like... Really Sorry, Yeah Right!, and the DC Video. Now, I don't even know what to think. Shit's crazy.
