I gotta give my respect for Nyjah. Even though his dad was an asshole, Nyjah knew that his father was the reason why Nyjah is where he's at right now, and I like how Nyjah showed gratitude for that. I can't really say much else about his father since I don't know him personally, but I do hope that he could get in contact with his son one day.

Nyjah isnt my favorite skater, at all, but I do appreciate his skill and motivation from him and his family. This shows how amazing the skateboarding community is, how one kid has gotten from on the brink of loosing it all, to the best in the business. The support from his mother and the amazing help from Rob to open the door for him greatly gained respect for the skating world. Keep killing it Nyjah.

Damn this gives a lot of insight to Nyjahs life, I look at him and his family so differently now. Nyjah really started from the bottom and he deserves the good life hes living now.

Lol. When he won I cried. Did not expect that. Always just thought Nyjah was this unfairly lucky kid who just had it all but seeing him going through hard times really lifted my feelings toward him as well as the unfairness I feel in my own life. Thank you X-games, Nyjah and momma Huston

Honestly one of the most inspirational stories from a skater that I've heard in a while. I have so much more respect for him now. I just want to shake this kids hand right now.

That is amazing that after having such a difficult family situation and such a controlling father that he still can be so respectful of his dad. Even after all the crap he put Nyjah through, he was still very humble and respectful of his upbringing. More celebrities should be as grateful and thankful as he is.l

Made me wanna drop a tear... Moms are unbeatable

Nyjah your amazing brotha your family is beautiful I've been there god bless everyone yeah what up!!!!

Nyjah is just someone else . He ain’t cocky about being amazing and that’s what makes him unique .

mother gets custody. Nyjah: yes i can wear skinny jeans now>

Nyjah had a hard life and now look where he is at. Just recently he won the Tampa pro 2K14 he is a great skateboarder and I can't wait to see how far he goes also he is Hot asf.

Awesome video.

Kinda felt like this painted his father in a negative light especially given the fact that we only heard one side of the story.

i rate houston a 100/10

He really worked for what he wanted so all the haterz need to see this such a great heartwarming story

used to hate nyjah but this video compeltly changed my view on him new favorite skater his family lives in my town and i always see him around so good at skating and such a chill dude

Element didn't dump him his dad started I&I and made him quit.

you inspire me to be commited to skating ;)

so insipiring, keep up the good work nyjah !

I've always loved Nyjah, he's an amazing skater and he has a good attitude. I see a lot of comments on youtube about people saying they hate his style and that he sucks.. Which doesn't make much sense.. Respect Nyjah.

When I watch this for an unknown reason it remembers my "Band of Brother " it was based on a true story about paratroopers that fight in WW2 there was Captain Sobel nobody liked him because he was so strict and his own people even plan to kill him as soon they land in Normandy, he got another job instead, but after war much of soldiers he trained said that even most of them hated him, they survived WW2 mostly due his harsh training, I think it the same true with Nyjah Huston and his dad.
