In 1990, then 22-year-old Tony Hawk completed the first 900-degree turn. Fast forward to around three years ago, when Gui Khury also did what Tony Hawk achieved back in 1990. Back then, Khury was still eight years old. With this information, we know that Khury is a skateboarding prodigy, and that he would probably achieve greater feats in the future.
This week, Gui Khury became the first skateboarder to ever land a 1080-degree turn on a vertical ramp.

“I was like, oh my God, what did I just do?” Gui Khury told Reuters. “I was just like OK, I landed it. Now I am going to celebrate.”
Gui later told reporters that he celebrated by sharing a bowl of macaroni and cheese with his family.
Keep it up, kid. Make the skateboarding world proud.
