SEATTLE (AP) — Nyjah Huston has won the opening stop of the 2011 Street League skateboarding tour.

The 16-year-old from Davis, Calif., won $150,000 and a spot in the $200,000, winner-take-all tour final on Aug. 28 in Newark, N.J.

Huston, the 2010 Street League champion, edged Shane O’Neill and Chaz Ortiz for the top spot Sunday. On his last attempt, he landed a backside 270 nose bluntslide on the big section rail for the highest-scoring trick of Street League to date. That earned him another $15,000.

The next stop is June 11-12 in Kansas City.
