Tom Schaar will go down in history as the first skateboarder to make a 1080, and at 12 years old that's pretty good going!
The Element sponsored skater nailed the trick on his fifth attempt at the Woodward MegaRamp in Techachapi, California at 4.11 pm on Monday 26th March 2012.
Tom has been skateboarding for eight years (since he was just 4 years old) and has been mentored by Jeff Jewett, part owner of the MegaRamp, since he was nine.
For this record breaking attempt Jeff and the Woodward West camp teamed up with Red Bull to create a custom built rollover feature on the 70 foot tall MegaRamp that allowed Tom to drop in and maintain speed during his run, which resulted in the first ever successfully landed 1080 (three complete spins) on the 27 foot tall quarter pipe.
