First Ever 1080 on a Skateboard

Anyone who spent countless hours on various Tony Hawk Pro Skater games trying to spin a 1080 will forever be envious of this kid.

Earlier this week, Tom Schaar, easily the coolest 12 year old kid in the world, landed the first ever 1080 (3 completes rotations) on a skateboard. Check out the footage here:


What's more impressive: the trick itself, the fact he's 12, or the shrug of the shoulders as he says 'I did a 1080?' Some 13 years after the man himself Tony Hawk landed the first ever 900, the bar has been set even higher. How long until someone can take it further?
