The SLS Chicago Mens Knockout Round

Yesterday was victory day for Kelvin Hoefler, Ryan Decenzo, Felipe Gustavo and Nyjah Huston as they came out on top in the SLS Chicago Men's Knockout Round.

Hoefler wiped the hubba clean with his perfectly balanced flip nosegrind, followed by a half cab back smith, back 180 which was also done perfectly and scored him a 9.0 that went towards his total score (35.0).

In group two, Ryan Decenzo came out on top with a total score of 31.7 after he impressed the judges with a switch front tail, heelflip out on the hubba. Despite it being a little sloppy, the trick alone was enough to secure the win for group two.

In group three, Felipe Gustavo made The Nine Club after doing a flawless nollie flip crook on the hubba, after he put that down, he got hyped up and even came close to scoring another nine after throwing down a ballsy kickflip crook on the out ledge while making sure he gapped the planter on the pop out. His ending score was 32.4.

Last but not least, Nyjah takes the win in his group as he comes back following his recent ACL injury. That seemed to be a thing of the past now as he was stomping his big tricks with no complications. His half-cab crook to fakie as well as the switch frontside flip were both flawless which helped him stay in the lead throughout the rest of the round. Nyjah finished with a total of 25.9.
