Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Talent house WME has signed Nyjah Huston, a decorated athlete and endorsement machine who is largely considered one of the best pro skateboarders of all time. Huston picked up a skateboard at 5 years old and quickly proved a prodigy, landing his first sponsorship from Element Skateboards at age 7. By 10 years old, he won the Tampa Am and the next year entered the X-Games (the youngest person ever to compete at the time). Along with numerous Street League event wins, Huston has earned 13 X-Games Gold Medals, 6 World Championship titles, and qualified for the inaugural U.S. Olympic Skateboarding Team. “The global world of skateboarding is so much more than a sport. It is a lifestyle that we see on the streets and on our tv screens. I’m at a point in my career where I’m still hungry and have a lot more left in me,” Huston said of the signing. :I’m thrilled to join WME and excited to see how we can further my growth and the growth of street skateboarding.”
