Nyjah Huston

The 22-year-old California native has dominated the street scene since 2009, winning 12 medals. He has won the Street League Skateboarding competition series six times since 2010 and is favored to capture his ninth street gold medal at this year's X Games.

Alec Majerus

The 22-year-old Rochester native is one of only two Minnesotans at this year's X Games. He is an up-and-comer in the sport whose only X Games medal is a bronze in the 2014 street event in Austin. He is also one of few skateboarders with a shoe deal.

Brighton Zeuner

The California native turns 13 Friday and will be the youngest competitor at this year's event. She just missed capturing a medal in last summer's X Games, finishing fourth in the park event, but won the World Championship of Park Skateboarding in August.
