Ryan Sheckler wins gold, P-Rod hot on his heels

Friday August 1, 2008
ESPN Event ImagesThe X Games 14 Skateboard Street Men's competition was a little closer this year, but Ryan Sheckler came out on top again. However, he only managed a little over a 1 point lead over Paul Rodriguez. Greg Lutzka came in with a solid third place score, winning him the bronze.

Do you think it's tough for other street skating competitors, to always face Sheckler? If it is, they don't let it show - they still head out and do their best. And, like the Dew Tour shows, Sheckler can be beaten. Just not often.

At this year's X Games, Ryan Sheckler rocked the street skate course by nailing rail tricks, and had a nifty cab flip over a gap that sweetened the deal. He's good. Just in case you didn't know.

So here are the final results for X Games 14 Men's Street Skateboarding:

  1. Ryan Sheckler - 92.00
  2. Paul Rodriguez - 90.91
  3. Greg Lutzka - 87.50
  4. Chris Cole - 86.00
  5. Rodolfo Ramos - 81.91
  6. Jereme Rogers - 77.33
