Moments ago, Paul Rodriguez grabbed the gold medal in the X Games Skate Street competion, edging out Nyjah Huston and Adam Dyet, who earned the silver and bronze, respectively. Rodriguez was the silver medalist in last year’s Skate Street competition. Though he previously won the competition in ’04 and ’05, Ryan Sheckler was the favorite to win this year’s event.

In the final session, Sheckler attempted a trick down the staircase and rolled his ankle. He had to be carted off, leaving the remaining five skaters to contend. While the 14 year-old Nyjah Huston and Adam Dyet were both impressive, Rodriguez’s perfect switch kickflip and switch heelflip down the 12-stair were enough to hold off the others.
