- What up AD?
I'm Nyjah Huston, welcome to my home.
Come on in.
[upbeat music]
I feel like over the years I've realized
I've gravitated towards this modern,
contemporary style of house.
So that was definitely my inspiration when remodeling it.
I love the style of it, the architecture on the outside
and I saw it had a lot of potential on the inside as well
and was really hype to be able to move to Laguna Beach.
It's obviously an amazing place.
My mom lives here as well so I was hype for that.
All right so this right here is the living room,
definitely my favorite place to chill and relax.
Got the comfortable cloud couch right here.
Lot of plants throughout the house.
I love nature, I love plants
so I wanted them all over the place.
This room is way different, when I moved in it actually
wasn't even considered the living room.
The room over there on the other side,
which we'll check out in a sec.
There wasn't even a TV here or anything.
I thought it was weird I thought this was obviously
the best place for a living room since you've got this
nice view right here.
We definitely improved on that a lot.
This view was definitely one of the things
that sold me on the house.
It's not too clear today it's clear till the ocean
and then it's kind of foggy out there
but on a really clear day you can see Catalina
really well, and amazing sunsets.
[chuckles]
Oh this raptor?
Had it for a while now actually.
I think it also came from my last home,
randomly saw it in the store and liked the style of it.
I feel like it describes me well.
[chuckles]
[jazzy music]
All right this right here is the trophy room.
This is for sure my favorite,
and most meaningful room in the house.
Always wanted to have an actual full room dedicated
to all my trophies and wins,
and this room fit perfect for it.
Got all this shelving put in.
Thank God none of them have fell yet, it seems like
it holds it up pretty well because some of these things
are actually really heavy.
There's so many memories in this room, it's crazy.
The best memories are for sure just the intense competition
and those gnarly ones where it comes down
to that last trick and rolling away, and knowing that
you came out with the win and the championship.
Yeah this one right here was the first ever
championship trophy, and this one was too heavy
to go on those shelves.
Right here this is kind of a special thing
for being introduced to the 2020 Olympic team,
first time ever skateboarding being in the Olympics.
2020 July, I definitely have a good chance of being there
so you guys will see me there.
Let's see this right here was my first ever
article in a skateboard magazine,
and it was in Thrasher Magazine.
I'm sure you guys have heard of that before.
Definitely the best skateboard mag, the most respected
so this was a really big point in my young years right here.
Nine years old, everything happened so fast for me
it was crazy.
This was one of my favorite tricks I've ever done before,
It's called a switch front feeble,
it's Hollywood High School, 16 stair.
That was actually the second time.
I had to come back to try it,
the first time I cracked my head open kinda,
and got a few staples in my head so that was pretty gnarly.
[upbeat music]
Right here we got the kitchen.
White quartz on the counters.
I wanted to a marble but my mom suggested
to not do it because she knew it would get
all stained and stuff eventually.
Love the way this kitchen turned out.
This little area right here,
It was already here but it was just designed
in a way different way.
They used to come up right here and it
was just kind of ugly before.
And it's a comfortable spot to chill,
eat breakfast or whatever.
Got this nice gray distressed leather.
This was way before I think it was even a little different
when I bought it but this was kind of
what it was like before.
It looks like a totally different house than now.
That's crazy.
I don't cook that often, my roommate does.
I'm not too much of a cook.
No I feel like when we have friends over
we kind of gravitate in to hanging out in here
a little bit too around this area it's comfy.
[upbeat music]
This I guess you would call the game room, hangout room.
Got some nice black marble right here.
As soon as I saw this I was like,
damn I definitely need this somewhere in the house
it's so nice.
Oh yeah.
[chuckles]
This thing I feel like just fits so well right here
we had to put it right there.
And then the pool table, I like playing pool.
I'm actually pretty good at it.
This room was completely different before.
This is actually the room that was considered
the living room, when I first got the house.
This was the best way to utilize the space,
build this bar, same marble as over there.
This is for sure one of my favorite areas of the house.
It turned out so nice I'm so hyped on it.
Not everything in here I picked out.
You know my mom helped out a lot with it too.
She would kind of send me options of stuff
and she also knows what I like so it was nice
working with her on it.
That's really my favorite style like this clean
mixture of black and white and grays,
but then also some of the browns and distressed colors
like the mixture of those colors and stuff
is my favorite style.
Getting a permit to build a pool back here as well,
an infinity pool.
Laguna Beach is super strict about that stuff
so it might take a while but I have faith.
[upbeat music]
This is my favorite dirt bike right here.
This this is fully built up.
Dirt bikes are my favorite thing to do
aside from skateboarding.
I normally like to keep mellow on the trails
and be out in nature.
Yeah this stairway right here, it's actually one of
the only parts of the house that kind of looks
the same when I bought it and it was one of the things that
I liked most about it cause it kind of reminds me
of me and I mean this is something I would totally
want to skate if it was a spot out on the streets.
Yeah this wall right here, this curve to it
made it really nice to put these boards going up the wall.
Yeah these are some of my signature favorite graphics
that I've had throughout the years.
Couple of them are just random team boards
like this one just has a cool random design to it.
[upbeat music]
All right cool so that was downstairs,
now lets head upstairs.
This was a interesting design to the house.
I always thought it was random when I first saw the house,
and then my mom had the idea
of putting plants in all of them.
That made us like it a lot more.
Because at first we were like, should we
just cover this up and make it a normal wall?
I'm glad we didn't because I love,
I told you I love my plants.
These are some of my favorite photos throughout the years.
This has gotta be the best one.
This was me when I was three, four years old
before I started skating.
I used to stack my random little toys on my board
and I would just push it around everywhere.
Yeah even before I skated I was still hyped on it.
One of my favorite tricks I've ever done right here,
It's called a 5-0 grind, and this spot is at UC Berkeley.
Really sick rail, kinked rail, it curves.
My favorite thing to skate is big stairs and rails.
And California is pretty hilly,
so you find a lot of big staircases.
Dread Jah.
If you guys don't know,
I used to have dreads up until I was 16.
And I was known for that little guy
with dreads out there shredding.
[upbeat music]
This right here is the gym room.
This is how I keep myself healthy and in shape.
Probably the room I use the most in the house
whenever I'm at home and I'm bored
and I don't have anything to do.
I've obviously battled it out with the injuries
over the years, skateboarding is very hard on the body.
Gotta stay healthy.
Whenever I was out looking at houses,
I was like always looking out for a good room for a gym
this one fit good for it.
It could've been a little bigger,
but I think I made pretty good use of this space,
I mean basically got all of the necessary stuff
I need in here.
[upbeat music]
Right here we've got the guest room.
Very nice for any of my friends
who want to come stay over here.
And it was nice to be able to have this
because my last house, there was no room for a guest room
cause I always had so many friends living there.
I was definitely stoked to be able to dedicate a room
that was actually nice for my friends to be able to stay in.
The goats.
The city brings them out.
It's like fifty to a hundred of them,
and they bring them out to eat up
all the dried grass to help prevent fires.
I didn't know that.
And me and my buddies I think we were out the night before
so we woke up and we were like hungover and we walk outside
and there are just all these goats everywhere on my property
and we were so confused, we were like
dude what is happening?
Later on I figured out there was actually a reason for it.
[chuckles]
[upbeat music]
This is my room, which I absolutely love.
We got this dream catcher sketchy thing right here.
It's basically just all my style of stuff,
you see a lot of skulls in here.
I've always liked decorating my house
with a lot of random skulls and stuff.
This little guys is sick.
The skull thing came about over time.
As soon as I started getting tattooed,
I got a couple of them, I think that was the first
one I got right there.
Like an eagle holding a skull.
And just kind of kept going over the years.
And my friends always say I have a little bit
of a dark side to me so I feel like I guess
that kind of brings it out.
They're always giving me shit about it.
But yeah this room is amazing I love the way it turned out
but it was kind of a mission,
especially with these curtains because as you can see
the roofs are slanted, so it was super hard to figure out
how to get these in.
We had to build that like wood valance up there.
Which I actually love the way it turned out.
I like the way it looks with it more than without it.
This whole view with the open glass look
and kind of how this room matches downstairs
was really what sold me on the house.
That painting my buddy actually came here and did for me.
Custom piece, he literally just like drips the paint on
and somehow turns it into an amazing piece like that.
It's pretty awesome.
[upbeat music]
So right here's the bathroom.
This is all completely changed, made it look
a lot more modern style.
I love this bathtub.
I've only used it a couple times really
because I'm really not the type of person that
relaxes a lot, you know I'm always out doing stuff.
My mom and my friend that was helping design,
some of the stuff was literally just popping up in here
throughout the past couple months and I was like
dude what's this, what's happening.
But I mean I don't mind it.
We're going for a very clean look
as you can see with the drain right here.
Or the cutout right here where you put your stuff.
I'm OCD, I like my stuff to all be very
organized and clean looking.
So it was nice to be able to remodel a house
and keep all of that in mind.
[upbeat music]
Was hyped to be able to have a good sized closet.
As you can see I'm pretty organized.
Get to have some of my favorite shoes right here.
My favorite pair, I mean obviously
I'm gonna have to go with my shoes.
This was probably my favorite colorway yet.
This was one of the first ones.
Pretty good looking shoe right here.
Go get a pair, Nyjah Nike SB's.
[upbeat music]
All right that's it for the house.
Stoked to show you guys around,
and now I've gotta go train so we're going to
head over to my skate park.
Let's get it.
[intense music]
All right so here we are.
Welcome to my skate park.
This is where I come and shred with the boys
and get some good training sessions in,
practice my tricks, stay on top of my game.
Got the artwork over here.
A buddy Madsteez did it.
Kind of went with the green and purple vibe in here.
Bright colors, good vibes.
So basically I mean you got most of your classic
skate obstacles in here.
Got a double set right here,
this is the big side of the park.
Got a ST called a hubba ledge.
Kinked rail, gap out rail,
step up right here.
I was very involved with all the specific dimensions
of everything and stuff because obviously
I'm very experienced, I've been doing this for a while.
And this right here is the most used obstacle in the park,
good sized rail to learn all my tricks on
and then take it to bigger obstacles in the streets
or in contests and stuff.
So this thing has helped me win a lot of stuff before.
Transition section, flow around here,
hit this thing, this thing's called a pyramid.
Classic skate park obstacle.
And then you've got your hip right there,
do flip tricks over that.
You've got everything you need right here
to stay on top of your game.
When it came to picking this building,
there really wasn't too many options around here.
It's about 10,000 square feet so it's a good size,
it's got good high ceilings.
You gotta make sure the poles
aren't in the way of the obstacle
so you kinda got to build around those.
And the main thing when you pick the building
is you gotta make sure it has good ground,
good smooth ground.
And yeah I found a good spot,
and gonna have this place for at least a couple more years.
I don't skate here everyday,
I don't really skate everyday in general cause I get so sore
nowadays with injuries and stuff.
I mean the best thing is still
skating outside in the streets with your boys,
and that will always be the best
but coming here and having a good place
to come practice my tricks is definitely important.
[upbeat music]
All right thank you guys AD,
for checking out my house and my skatepark.
But now it's time to shred.
So I'll catch you guys later.
