    Finals from Street League stop 3 in Las Vegas, Nev. just wrapped up, and Melbourne, Australia's own Shane O'Neill walked away with the win, finishing the event with an overall score of 146.0. Finishing in second was last night's number one qualifier Chris Cole, followed by Nyjah Huston in third. Huston also grabbed the overall win for the series, accumulating 515 points over the course of three Street League stops. This was by far the most technical skating that has happened at any Street League event to date, and the ISX scoring system really helped to beef up the level of intensity as the day progressed.

    The day began at the Thomas and Mack Arena with last chance qualifiers. The first skaters to show up were Mikey Taylor, who missed making the cut by a point, and Sean Malto, winner of the Ontario, Calif. Street League stop. Sean seemed calm and collected as usual going into the LCQ (last chance qualifier), but unfortunately he was unable to hang on. Some notable sticks in the LCQ were Dylan Reider's massive frontside flip over the Rincon replica, Torey Pudwill's perfect nolle flip over the same setup, and Sean Malto's backside noseblunt slide down one of the big rails. The level of skating was out of control, but in the end, it was Ryan Sheckler, who landed a perfect fakie flip and fakie frontside flip over the Rincon replica, that made his way into the finals.
