2024 SLS Super Crown World Champs Nyjah Huston and Rayssa Leal Win Big at 2025 SLS Miami

The 2025 Street League Skateboarding (SLS) Championship Tour launched with an action-packed opener at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida, where Nyjah Huston (USA) and Rayssa Leal (BRA), the 2024 Super Crown World Champions, secured first-place finishes at Stop 1. With 20 men and 10 women competing, the event marked an explosive start to the season as athletes fought for critical points toward the 2025 Super Crown World Championship in São Paulo, Brazil (December 6-7).

The stadium was packed with fans and high profile influencers like Adin Ross, the Kalogeras Sisters, Supreme Patty and many more, accumulating millions of social media impressions over the weekend. SLS’s Rumble stream also amassed nearly 40,000 live concurrent viewers, making it their best performing event on the platform to date.

The men’s competition in Miami arguably delivered one of the greatest finals in skateboarding history. With Nyjah Huston and Gustavo Ribeiro (POR) landing consecutive 9 Club tricks in the final moments - the lead changed hands multiple times before Huston ultimately secured the win on his last attempt.

Ribeiro, sitting in second ahead of his last trick attempt with 36.2 points, stepped up with a 360 Flip Noseblunt 270 Shuv Out that scored a 9.5 – just enough to bump him into first place with a total of 36.7 points. With the pressure on, Huston, needing a 9.2 to retake the lead, hit a Nollie Backside Flip down the MLK gap, earning exactly a 9.2 to reclaim first place for a total of 36.8 points.

“I’m so hyped. This one is honestly better than the Brazil contest last year,” said Nyjah Huston, referring to his 2024 SLS Super Crown title. “It just keeps getting better. The years I get older, I appreciate it more and more. Especially winning after that gnarly of a final.”

Earlier in the round, Huston made history by landing his 100th Nine Club with a 9.0 score on his first single trick attempt, then closed out the contest with a record-setting 103 Nine Clubs, the most of any skater in SLS history.

Felipe Gustavo (BRA) rounded out the podium with a strong showing and 36.5 score, making it one of the tightest SLS podiums with just 0.3 points separating 1st and 3rd.

In the Women’s Final, Rayssa Leal continued her winning streak finishing with a total score of 32.1 points to earn her 13th career SLS win. Chloe Covell (AUS) was Leal’s main challenger as the competition was closing out. Sitting on a total of 24.0 from 7.9 and 8.6 scoring tricks, Covell needed an 8.2 on her final attempt to overtake Leal. She went big with a Switch Flip down the stairs, but was unable to stick the landing on either of her last two attempts.

Said Rayssa Leal: “This contest was so fun! Everything was so good. Every fall, every landed trick. Every time it feels special, it’s crazy.”

Coco Yoshizawa (JPN) rounded out the podium with a strong performance and a final score with 22.7 points. The finals also featured a standout moment from Momiji Nishiya, who landed the only Nine Club trick in the women’s competition (9.0) with a Crook Nollie Heel down the replicated North Miami Beach High School Hubba. She was unable to build on it, finishing fourth with 15.3 points.
