Nyjah Huston had already earned consecutive X Games Skateboard Street gold when he prepped for his final run -- the final run of the entire contest -- at X Games Shanghai. But he wasn’t even on the podium after Run 2 in China. He needed to crush his last pass. And of course he did, because delivering under pressure is exactly what Nyjah does. He finished with an emphatic claim, too, raising his arms in triumph when he nailed his ender, the nollie flip noseblunt slide. There also was relief, because he nearly hung up on the trick. The Shanghai victory was his 10th X Games Street gold and 11th XG gold overall (2012 Real Street). He went on to add another gold and a silver at X Games Minneapolis, and he now has 18 total XG medals. It’s Nyjah Huston — you know we’re gonna celebrate him! Welcome to the year-end list Nyjah!

Another world’s first! No one ever had landed a backflip body varial until the unheralded Frenchman did it in Run 1 of Moto X Best Trick. He earned gold. Of course. Had anyone even attempted a backflip body varial to dirt before Minneapolis? Rinaldo hadn’t; he’d only practiced it to a foam pit and airbag, and he broke his right ankle trying the trick into an airbag barely 6 weeks before X Games. He didn’t start riding again until July 20th, two weeks before he made history. Rinaldo wasn’t considered a favorite before XG Minneapolis. He never had competed in X Games Best Trick prior to MPLS 2019. In fact, he’d only attended X Games twice, with a best finish of 5th in Freestyle at X Games Foz do Iguacu 2013. The trick: Rinaldo performs a California Roll body varial mid backflip, meaning he spins 360 degrees off the bike while upside down. Insane. It’s the first single backflip variation to win X Games MTX Best Trick since Jeremy Stenberg in 2005.

In a fantastic comp that featured six scores of 90 or above, perhaps the best competitive slopestyle athlete ever saved his best for last. Mark McMorris sat in 2nd after Run 1 with a strong 89.66. By the time he dropped in for his last run -- the very last run of the entire contest -- he was down in 5th. But McMo loves pressure and is a contest killer, and he laid down an incredible pass that scored a 96, edging the surprising Rene Rinnekangas (who knew he was beat but was just so stoked to be there) for the dramatic walk-off win. The entire run was great, but if we don’t have time to show it then focus on the jump line: switch backside 1260 stalefish, frontside triple cork 1440 mute, backside triple cork 1620 mute. Can’t beat the call, either, featuring analyst Craig McMorris shouting, “Touchdown, Saskatchewan!” Slopestyle gold was Mark’s 5th in the discipline, tying Shaun White’s decade-old X Games mark. McMorris now has 10 Slopestyle medals total, most in history. His 17 X Games medals overall equals Joe Parsons for second-most XG winter discipline podiums, one behind White.

At X Games Minneapolis 2019, Ryan Williams broke the BMX Big Air curse, becoming the first person to earn a third straight X Games BMX Big Air gold after 5 athletes had tried and failed before him (Kevin Robinson, Steve McCann, Colton Satterfield, James Foster and Zack Warden). His winning pass came in Run 2: backflip drop-in to nothing front bikeflip over the 63-foot gap, frontflip flair on the quarter at 16’11”. The line scored a 93.66, in part because the backflip drop-in had never been done. R Willy called it, “The best night of my life!” We call it BMX progression at its finest.
