With 48 racers lined up this morning, Mischler edged out Tony Alves and Kole King for the top spot. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the first <strong>Skateboard Street Best Trick contest</strong> at X Games since 2003, it was <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/nyjah-huston" target="_blank">Nyjah Huston</a></strong></em> who took gold with a cab flip back lip into a fakie 360 kickflip. Huston, who just missed the top spot in yesterday’s Monster Energy Men’s Skateboard Street competition, was not planning to compete in the discipline today and told the crowd he made it all the way to the airport before having a moment of clarity that he needed to come back and compete in Best Trick.</div><p style="text-align: justify;">Watch Skateboard Street Best Trick Highlights <em><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAqbeHaVpdQ" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong></em>.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">In an ultra competitive final, Italian <strong><em><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/ivan-federico" target="_blank">Ivan Federico</a></em></strong> surprised all and took home gold, his first medal ever at X Games. Federico’s run included a backside kickflip lien to backside disaster on top of the extension, backside kickflip spine transfer, huge 540s, a noseblunt on the banked wall and a sugarcane on the extension.
