Nyjah Huston and Rayssa Leal Top SLS Finals in Lake Havasu

Get used to seeing this superstar’s name everywhere. Rayssa Leal took home another SLS win — her second in the series — topping Momiji Nishiya and Funa Nakayama in 2nd and 3rd. The top three spots shuffled around quite a bit toward the end, giving this heat high drama, but the 13-year-old Olympic medalist pulled it out at the last minute. Rayssa landed on the podium with a beautiful kickflip 50-50 down the hubba to wrap up the finals.

After coming in second in the Salt Lake City SLS prelims this summer, Nyjah Huston is comfy at the top of the podium once again, with Dashawn Jordan and Felipe Gustavo close behind. Dashawn Jordan wowed the crowd with a nollie inward heel front board with huge air, but it wasn’t enough to get him out of second. Even with an automatic win, Nyjah finished up the round with a switch heelflip 5-0 just to go out with a bang.
