1080 (skateboarding)

Skateboarding trick 1080° the video games 1080° Snowboarding and 1080° Avalanche June 2012 The 1080 is a skateboarding trick that can be performed on a vertical skateboard ramp or on a mega ramp, in which the skateboarder makes three full revolutions (1080 degrees of rotation in total, hence the name) while airborne. It was first completed successfully on a mega ramp in 2012 by American skateboarder Tom Schaar, and on a vert ramp in May 2020 by Brazilian skateboarder Gui Khury. The 1080 has only ever been landed after a fakie ollie, meaning the rider is in the normal stance, but rolling in the opposite direction, popping off of the tail. Mega ramp (big air) The first-ever 1080 was landed by American skateboarder Tom Schaar on March 26, 2012, at the age of 12.http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/tom-schaar-first-ever-1080-video-021243187489113 March 30, 2012 12-year-old skateboarder nails first ever 1080 video Red Bull April 3, 2012https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-tom-schaar-1080-20120402,0,2425885.story Tom Schaar lands skateboarding's first-ever 1080 Chuck Schilken April 2, 2012 Los Angeles Times April 3, 2012 Schaar completed the stunt on a mega ramp at Woodward West in Tehachapi, California, on his fifth attempt. The jump was filmed by several cameras at the MegaRamp at Woodward West. A roll-over feature was custom-built which allowed the skater to drop in on the 70-foot-tall and roll right over a 50-foot gap in the ramp, thus allowing Schaar to keep momentum going all the way through to the quarter pipe. Schaar performed several 720s and a 900 while warming-up. He then attempted to perform the 1080, failing four times before successfully landing his fifth attempt, 12-year-old Tom Schaar lands 1080 https://www.espn.com/action/skateboarding/story/_/id/7755456/12-year-old-tom-schaar-lands-skateboarding-first-1080 ESPN March 30, 2012 May 2, 2012 being propelled 15 feet above the top of the ramp.http://www.skateboarding.com.au/news/12-year-old-lands-first-ever-1080-skateboard/ 12 year old lands the first ever 1080 on a skateboard 3 July 2012 Skateboarding.com.au 3 October 2012 December 15, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121215175336/http://www.skateboarding.com.au/news/12-year-old-lands-first-ever-1080-skateboard/ dead Red Bull described the 1080 as "the Holy Grail of all skateboard tricks."Sinclair, Jessica Tom Schaar Lands Skateboarding's First 1080 (Video) http://www.longislandpress.com/2012/04/03/tom-schaar-lands-skateboardings-first-1080-video/ Long Island Press Long Island, New York April 3, 2012 April 4, 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120404110305/http://www.longislandpress.com/2012/04/03/tom-schaar-lands-skateboardings-first-1080-video/ April 4, 2012 Schaar has since repeated the feat, and completed a 1080 in competition while participating in the 2012 X Games Asia on April 30, 2012.http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7872308 https://web.archive.org/web/20120502233654/http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7872308 dead May 2, 2012 Tom Schaar lands first skateboard 1080 in competition 30 April 2012 ESPN Video He won the gold medal in the Skateboard Mini MegaRamp category, the youngest person ever to have done so.
