One of skateboarding's heaviest hitters, Nyjah Huston is officially 30 years old.
Many of us have watched Nyjah grow up over the years, transforming from that little Rasta dreadhead into the legend-in-the-making we see today. To celebrate his 30th year, he's bringing the dreads back with a limited run of Disorder boards.
Depending on your age—or really, the era you grew up skating—chances are you probably remember this Nyjah very well. I certainly do. And these days, they seem like two completely different people! Nonetheless, Nyjah was always in the mix when I was growing up. He was in all the mags, dropping heavy video parts, and blowing our minds with his talent.
We knew the dreads wouldn't last forever, but I can remember how trippy it was when he first cut them off. Again, he looked like a completely different person. Sort of like when Louie Lopez chopped off his mop! We saw these kids turn into teens, young adults and now they're entering their thirties!?
Where has all the time gone?
The boards are available now on the Disorder site, but they are limited. All you die-hard Nyjah fans out there better act fast. Judging by the comments, people seem pretty stoked. Total novelty board!
Think he'll ever bring the dreads back? That'd be pretty hilarious. Happy belated birthday, Nyjah! Stoked to see what you have planned for 2025.
