Everybody should check out Nyjah's Growing Pains if you haven't seen it: [VIDEO] I get that people don't think he has much style, he has lots of sponsors and makes a ton of money off them and off contests. These are not exactly skateboarding's core values, but someone has to be the best at contests and I think we would all love that money. Dude had a crazy childhood, and was beating pros twice his age when he was 13.

He is so good that everyone hates him always winning. However for someone who hasn't seen this [VIDEO] I would recommend watching.
