Ryan Sheckler Leads X Games 14 Skate Street Elimination

Broken what?  Ryan Sheckler appeared no worse for wear taking the Skate Street Elimination Thursday afternoon at Staples Center in Los Angeles.  Sheckler edged Maloof Money Cup/Right Guard Open winner Paul Rodriguez for the top spot while Greg Lutzka took third.  Previous gold-medal winners Sheckler and P-Rod will take on three-time defending champ Chris Cole in the finals on Friday (Cole prequalified for the finals thanks to his win last year).

This year’s finals will only have six skateboarders, unlike last year’s field of 10, so that meant some big names missed the cut, most notably Nyjah Huston, who placed seventh.  Check out the full results below.
