World’s First Skateboarding 1080

Photo: Matt Lingo/Red Bull Content Pool When this was mentioned to me I was wondering who would be called out as the skater that successfully landed this. Your mind runs through the crazier of the skaters out there and then it wanders over to Tony Hawk (he hasn’t landed anything bigger than a 720 for [...]
