Nyjah Huston is a goofy-stance skater. The goofy stance is one of the two main stances, and it's essentially the opposite of the regular stance. With goofy, one’s left foot takes the back position on the tail of the board, while the right foot controls the front or nose. This means Huston pushes off the ground with his left foot to gain momentum. Besides Huston, the iconic Tony Hawk was also known to be a goofy-stance skater.

Nyjah Huston began skating at the age of five. When he was around ten, his parents bought an indoor skate park before abruptly moving the family to Puerto Rico around two years later. This caused Huston to fall a little back in his training and also this caused a few hiccups in his contract with Element Skateboards, the Company that had been sponsoring him for a long time. His parents Kelle and Adeyemi Huston separated while in Puerto Rico. In 2010, her mother won custody of all five children and moved the family back to California.

Huston has since then become a regular face in numerous national and international skateboarding competitions. He finished seventh in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and will be eyeing to clinch a medal at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Huston currently resides in Laguna Beach, California, USA. Huston also owns his own Skateboarding line by the name of Disorder. Following the end of ties with Element Skateboarding, Huston has also released two sneakers in partnership with Nike SB.
