Monster Energy’s Nyjah Huston Takes X Games Gold in First-Ever X Games Real Street Best Trick Competition

Monster Energy

Monster Energy congratulates skateboard team rider Nyjah Huston on earning X Games gold in the inaugural X Games Real Street Best Trick contest. In the video contest judged on single tricks from ten of the world’s best street skateboarders, the 25-year-old from Laguna Beach, California, took first place with a Caballerial backside noseblunt to fakie on legendary Clipper ledge in San Francisco, filmed by veteran skateboard filmmaker Ty Evans. Viewers can go online and watch Huston’s never-been-done Caballerial backside noseblunt to fakie down the Clipper ledge on the X Games website . To view Nyjah's gold medal video click here. Originally launched with the X Games Real Street competition in 2010, the main goal of the X Games Real series is to showcase the essence of a rider’s unique talent. Two-person teams of riders and videographers film progressive tricks on authentic terrain, outside of contest arenas. Now in its eleventh year, the 2020 slate of Real Series competitions included Real Ski, Snow, Street, BMX and Moto. Instead of a full 90-second video part, Real Street Best Trick asked ten street skateboarders to capture their single best trick on video for a chance to win X Games gold. “It’s always sick to participate in something new like this and that’s why I was down to do it. This is the first time it’s ever happened – just one banger trick in the streets!” said Huston about the competition. The panel of X Games judges consisted of seasoned skateboard industry insiders: Iconic pro skateboarders Jamie Thomas and Stevie Williams joined filmer/director Chris Ray and Thrasher Magazine Editor-In-Chief Michael Burnett to choose the winners of Real Street Best Trick. On September 27, the winning athlete-and-filmer teams were announced in the special episode “World of X Games: Real Street Best Trick” aired on ESPN2. The one-hour show was hosted by skateboard media personality Gary Rogers and featured behind-the-scenes footage from all video shoots, supplemented by athletes, filmers and judges interviews. When it came to convincing the judges, Monster Energy’s Huston had just the move to shut down the competition. The street skating phenomenon also chose his spot well: “Clipper was definitely the spot for this trick. I used to watch Clipper in all the skate videos I saw growing up,” said Huston. Located on a San Francisco school yard, the Clipper hubba ledge has been a well-known proving ground since the late 1990s and early 2000s, when riders like Heath Kirchart, Frank Gerwer and Darrell Stanton etched their names into the spot’s history with never-been-done (NBD) moves. However, adding another NBD initially proved difficult for Huston. For several years, the iconic spot had been rendered unskateable by defensive architecture. Once Huston learned that a session was possible again, he did not hesitate to enlist legendary skateboard filmer and director Evans to head up to San Francisco. Huston felt confident about his noseblunt variation – it already won him X Games Best Trick in Minneapolis 2019 – and had perfected the move at his private skate facility. But taking the Caballerial backside noseblunt to fakie down the steep Clipper ledge took some persistence. Finally, after more than 15 tries to nail the perfect posture and body position, Huston added the trick to Clipper ledge spot history. Make sure to watch Huston’s gold-winning NBD on the X Games website . “Rolling away from a trick on a legendary spot like that means a lot. That trick has been on my mind for so long, I have to go and get it done. At least I have to battle out and try it,” said Huston about the filming mission to San Francisco. When the judges finalized their scores, Huston received the Real Street Best Trick gold medal, engraved with a ‘hammer’ icon. Speaking on Huston’s skateboarding, X Games judge Jamie Thomas said: “The stuff he continues to do is mind-blowing. There are a lot of things that he does, where he is probably the only human on the planet that can do it.” Winning Real Street Best Trick gold brings Huston’s X Games count to 19 medals in total (13 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze). Known as the most competitive street skateboarder in history, Huston is the current SLS World Champion after claiming his third back-to-back title in 2019. He started his 2020 season with second win at Tampa Pro after bringing home the trophy in 2014. The official U.S. Skateboarding Olympics team member is looking to represent the United States at the Tokyo Games in 2021 and is currently the only athlete ever to win X Games gold medals on five continents. Download high res photos for editorial use. Also making a strong entry into the first-ever Real Street Best Trick contest, 13-year-old Monster Army recruit Filipe Mota flexed his technical street skating skills on a well-known SoCal schoolyard rail. “I never thought I would be in the X Games. It’s a big opportunity to be here with the best skaters. I’m so happy for it,” said Mota, who recently appeared alongside Huston in a Monster video edit , about the competition. For his entry, the upcoming Brazilian rider filmed a highly technical combo rarely seen in real street environments: A big flip frontside boardslide shove-it down a nine-stair. As the spot, Mota chose the well-documented rail at Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School in Los Angeles. The rail was rendered unskateable by metal knobs from the late 2000s until recently; just in time for Mota to add his NBD trick. Watch Mota’s X Games Real Street Best Trick video here on the X Games website captured by videographer Vitor Borger. Viewers can also watch all X Games Real Street Best Trick ‘behind-the-scenes’ edits, in which the rider/filmer teams detail the making of their videos, online now: Check out Huston’s battle with the Clipper hubba ledge and see young Mota take his tech skills to real street architecture .

Maryland Author Launches Kickstarter to Launch the “Adventures of Warfield”

Citybizlist

Click HERE to visit "Adventures of Warfield" on Kickstarter "This book has it all romance, sex, culture, and history. Enjoy wonderful storytelling and photography as this book transports the reader over decadeswith a rare insider's unvarnished peek into the lives of the rich and famous! Witty, entertaining, and surprising, sure to be a book you pass on and one that will spice up the book club!" Jean Halle Long Live the Abdication In Adventures of Warfield : A Family Saga of Statesmen, Soldiers, Entrepreneurs, and Wallis Warfield Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor , author Edwin Warfield interweaves stories of his family — from the American Revolution to the Internet Revolution — with stories of his cousin, the Duchess of Windsor, giving readers unique insights into their remarkable lives. With its tales of war, peace and love, the book is part history, part biopic, and all fascinating. In 1659, Richard Warfield left his native Britain and its monarchy for America to become an indentured servant before gaining his freedom. Almost three centuries later, Bessie Wallis Warfield rocked Britain and its monarchy when a love-struck King Edward VIII abdicated his throne to marry her — a divorced, American commoner who became the Duchess of Windsor . A battle royale ensued. H.L. Mencken called it “the greatest news story since the resurrection.” Madonna , who documented the whole Edward/Wallis/abdication brouhaha in her 2011 feature film W.E. , labeled the whole affair a “witch hunt.” But who really was the baddie in all this? The Duke? The Duchess? The monarchy? The government? The subject still has people on both sides of the Atlantic abuzz — and obsessed. In examining the life of the Duchess, the author leaned heavily on a trio of knowledgeable influencers: Madonna ; Cornelia Guest , the social-swan-2.0 goddaughter of Wallis; and Judy Steir , who wrote Only a Kingdom , a musical theater production about Wallis, Edward, and the abdication. The book also features life lessons from another influencer : the distinctly American author and humorist, Mark Twain , who figures into the family history as well. Given that the vast majority of Warfields included in Adventures of Warfield are dead, the author reluctantly serves as the family historian, sharing previously unexplored aspects of the Duchess of Windsor’s life, while illuminating the exploits of more recent Warfields. Proceeds from this Kickstarter campaign will finance the costs associated with printing 1,000 advance copies of the book . " It is very well written, highly engaging, and beautiful." Fred LInd Madonna Directing W.E. The Duke and Duchess on their wedding day - no royals attended “It is silly to portray her as a baddie. If there was anyone who was a baddie, it was Edward VIII.” – HUGO VICKERS , author of Behind Closed Doors, quoted in The Telegraph, April 11, 2011 "Edward gave up the most powerful position in the world for this woman. The fact that he abdicated the throne left many people devastated, and of course they had to demonize Wallis . " – MADONNA Testimonials "WOW! You should have a divorce, estrangement from assorted children, a stroke, and a ....... I am only 48 pages into Adventures of Warfield, but it reads fluidly and elegantly. Your turn of a phrase is engaging, and your first person voice is both inventive and highly effective. Humor abounds. I can’t wait to read more." Cliff Ransom "Your creative way of interweaving the adventures and history of the characters of your family with the likes of Mark Twain, Madonna, La Petite Princesse, Cecil Beaton, Kings and Nazis , a steamboat named the President Warfield repurposed and renamed Exodus 1947... all so fascinating! Your wry sense of humor combined with a bit of self-deprecation together with your courage and honesty about your personal challenges and adventures will endear you to your readers..." Mark Hoffberger "Your book was amazing - very well done Edwin ! Thank you for my copy!" Elizabeth Massing “Fascinating family tale, melding together history and conjecture with personal reflections. It’s wonderfully entertaining” Anne Katz Contact Details Edwin Warfield +1 443-562-9472 edwin.warfield@citybizlist.com Company Website http://kck.st/3hVp0V2

Survey: Majority of Sports Bettors & Fantasy Players Show No Platform Loyalty as Users Scale Back Dollars Waged and Participation due to COVID-19

Hot Paper Lantern

HPL Digital Sport (HPLDS), a specialty group within Hot Paper Lantern focused on helping fantasy sports and betting brands become more relevant, found in a recent snap survey of more than 600 sports bettors and fantasy players, that three out of five (60 percent) sports bettors and fantasy players aren’t loyal to one platform. The survey also found, despite the impacts of COVID-19, that 75% of users said their interest in sports betting and fantasy sports had stayed consistent or increased, while a quarter reported a decrease in interest. However, the harsh reality is that users are scaling back their participation. Forty percent of respondents said that they have scaled back the amount they bet, 31% reduced the number of bets they make and 30% cut back on the amount of fantasy sports sites on which they play. “It’s not surprising that sports bettors and fantasy sports players are spending less due to the pandemic,” said Ed Moed, CEO of HPLDS. “What’s concerning is very few sportsbooks or fantasy platforms have built any real user loyalty. Especially as both start ups and existing players infringe on marketshare by launching innovative new offerings in emerging markets and hundreds of millions of dollars go to waste on user acquisition that doesn’t yield results. It’s critically important that platforms understand that there is a loyalty gap and they need to change the way they engage with users.” Given the increased volume of platforms and operators to choose from, HPLDS asked what may sway users into becoming loyal players or bettors with one particular platform. Survey participants overwhelmingly look to who they trust and how will they associate more personally with a specific brand: 36% - If the ads or promotions sent to me were more personal, witty or connected with me beyond promotional codes (e.g., put in $20 and you get a bonus $20 to bet with, refer a friend and get $100 bonus for your account, etc.) 29% - If friends and/or family referred me to play or bet there 27% - If the company developed relevant content for me (e.g., videos, articles, podcasts, etc.) that I can learn from or entertain myself on social media channels 24% - If I knew that the company is giving back to communities or organizations 20% - If the company clearly looked and communicated how it is different from all the others 14% - If celebrities or well-known sports industry experts communicated great things about it Given the intense frequency of sports betting and fantasy sports ads during the leadup to the NFL football season, less than half (49%) of respondents reported that sports betting or fantasy sports ads prompted them to bet or play. “Users stated two to one that friends/family referrals are more important in building loyalty and trust than celebrity and expert endorsements. How many platforms are actually thinking of leveraging the right influencers?” said Ed Moed. “We’re experiencing a sea of advertising sameness that doesn’t allow one brand to stand out from a message, content, or sophisticated design standpoint. Users are bombarded with the same generic content, from the same media and social channels resulting in too much wasted money.” For more information please visit https://hpldigitalsport.com/ . About HPL Digital Sport: Hot Paper Lantern Digital Sport is a specialty group within Hot Paper Lantern (HPL) that works with fantasy, sports betting and e-sports brands to build greater brand relevance, gain a competitive edge and acquire new audiences.
