26:58Now PlayingNyjah Huston didn’t become one of skateboarding’s most recognizable names by playing it safe. He did it by getting back on the board.
In this episode of Forbes Talks Shop, hosted by Kim Peiffer, the Olympic skateboarder opens up about the discipline, risk and recovery behind a career spent pushing the limits of street skating—from skating backyard obstacles as a kid to filming at iconic spots in New York, Los Angeles and beyond.
Huston shares how he bounced back after fracturing his skull and eye socket, why he still feels drawn to dangerous street spots and what motivates him as he looks toward qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. He also breaks down the gear he travels with, why trucks are one of the most important parts of his setup and how he can go through a board a day while skating hard in the streets.
The conversation also gets into Huston’s Rastafari upbringing, his simple approach to life, the role nature and movement play in keeping him grounded and the inspiration behind his new aluminum-free deodorant brand, Out There.
