X GAMES INTRODUCES ITS ‘REAL STREET 2019’ JUDGES: COLE, MEZA & THE MUSKA
Real Street 2019 has some seriously discerning judges on deck for this year’s street part contest, which is kicking off tomorrow.
The 9 skaters—Robbie Brockel, Jamie Foy, Chris Joslin, Taylor Kirby, Corey Glick, Mason Silva, Dashawn Jordan, Trevor McClung, and Chase Webb—can look to forward to a specially qualified trio of gavel-pounders: Aaron Meza, a videographer/filmer who has a balanced eye for what makes a part powerful; Chris Cole, a 6-time X Games gold medalist with his own epic catalog of street parts; and Chad “The” Muska, a reluctant judge who is absolutely NOT down to critique this brutal art of the street part. (In the above video, he says of judging: ”It’s a title that I don’t like to hold.”)
Understatement of the year award goes to Cole who says, “Skateboarding is super hard to judge because it is such a subjective sport.” We are objectively excited, and we can’t wait to see how this year’s contest unfolds.
