12 year old boy lands first 1080 on a skateboard!

Post by bass_culture » Tue Apr 03, 2012 12:41 pm

I'm not really into skating, but this is amazing!!

Tom Schaar, 12, completes the first ever 1080 on a skateboard at the MegaRamp in California. The trick requires six 180-degree spins in the air and a successful landing. Many professional skateboarders have tried and failed to complete the 1080. Schaar has been skateboarding for eight years

most people are complaing that it doesnt count because its on a megaramp, not a halfpipe

still a pretty decent feat regardless tbh

He nearly landed this at the X-games a couple months back.
He`s a serious skater of the future.
New xbox skater, like nyjah houston.

Also doesn't hurt so much when you fall over too.

Being large hairy lump now makes falling off a skateboard way more painful for me

Not maybe, he does "cheat" in that way. It's impressive but not that impressive.

I'm being a bit of a little bitch though because I can't even stand and ride a bit on a skateboard without falling

Not that impressive lol.

I've skated for nearly 10 years and would think twice about even riding down the landing of the megaramp.

Yeah i've skated about 6 years and agree with this. That comment made me laugh haha. I skate mostly transition but cant imagine even grinding that or doing an air on it. That quarter pipe is over 20 feet tall. Just skating transition even half that height is intimidating.
