Nyjah Huston Fractures Skull, Eye Socket After Failed Skateboard Trick
Nyjah Huston‘s New Year was quite painful — the famous skateboarder says he suffered a fractured skull and eye socket after a trick went horribly wrong.
The Olympic medalist shared a series of photos in an Instagram post on Monday … including one that showed first responders in Tempe, Arizona, assisting Huston as he lay on the ground in pain.
Additional images captured him resting in a hospital bed, followed by a pic of his brutal black eye.
“A harsh reminder of how death-defying skating massive rails can be,” Huston said. “Fractured skull, fractured eye socket.”
“Taking it one day at a time. I hope y’all had a better New Year’s than me. We live to fight another day 🙏🏽.”
Over the course of his skateboarding career, Huston has dealt with multiple injuries. In 2013, he suffered a rib injury and was unable to compete at the Munich X Games.
Huston also had wrist, knee, ankle hip, and back injuries, along with a torn ACL in 2022.
Of course, those are just the battle scars of a successful career. The 31-year-old is one of the highest-paid skateboarders in the world, boasting several titles, including multiple gold medals at the World Championships and Summer X Games.
Huston also won the bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Games.
Speedy recovery, Nyjah!
