P-Rod won the gold medal this afternoon in the X Games 15 Skateboard Street Men’s Final. The 24-year old Rodriguez beat out the dreadlocked 14-year old phenom Nyjah Huston (silver) and 34-year old SLC punk Adam Dyet (bronze). Rodriguez finished second in last year’s games to MTV reality star Ryan Sheckler (6th) who had to leave the last session of the competition early due to an ankle injury.

I’d point you to ESPN.com so that you could read more about it but it’s a strange struggle to find much coverage of the event. Watch the video above of Rodriguez starring in a new Nike SB commercial featuring appearances by Kobe Bryant and “Doughboy”.
