Red Bull Hart Lines 2017 Highlights | TransWorld SKATEboarding

In the third edition of Red Bull Hart Lines, Nyjah Huston defended his title as champion with a dynamic display of speed, technical skill and creativity to win the contest for the second year in a row.
Thousands of local fans packed into Hart Plaza, watching Huston battle through the late afternoon against a field of elite international skaters including Ryan Sheckler, Leticia Bufoni and Felipe Gustavo. Huston claimed victory with a series of flawless runs packed with tricks strung together with fluidity and style.

Huston’s performance was typified by opening his first run with an epic gap kickflip frontside boardslide then, later in the afternoon, closing out his final run with a perfect backside flip over the gap followed by a fakie kickflip into the bank.

“The competition is always super gnarly and this course isn’t easy to skate. That’s the reason I like this competition, it’s super diverse. Consistency is the key. Being able to put down a solid first run so you can try something harder on your second run,” said a breathless Huston after sealing the deal on his final run with a gap to noseblunt.
