Thanks for watching X Games!

I was actually a little less surprised about the 1080 than I was about seeing Bob Burnquist and Andy Macdonald up on the score board. Those guys are still at it? Damn that feels awesome.

[ethan_benfield]

how was this 8 years ago? I remember like it was yesterday. This X games was my favorite ever

[chikowashere]

What?! I swear I miss X Games ONE year then the next EVERYONE even kids are doing amazing tricks and it's the norm now. Gnarly

Tony halk did his 900 legit on a half pipe that's the hardest thing ever

[donta_xxl]

hope he'll be in the LA x games, would love to see it landed on tv

[knoxbox]

this kid is going to be one of the best vert skaters ever. that was ridiculous

[lollestar]

the most impressive part is that he actually do it sandals

[doyle]

totally not impressed? 15 years old and does the first 1080 in competition and can do back to back 900's on vert. WTF are you saying?

[sfosterize]

notice of how small Tom goes on this megaramp and how tony goes about the same height as tom goes on the mega on the vert ramp.

This is very impressive in no world would I be able to do it and he's so young it makes it even more impressive but the fact of the matter is a 900 on a vert ramp is just so much more difficult he had a huge roll up and lots of momentum I'm not trying to take anything away from him it was cool as crap to see the kid do a 1080 but it wasn't as difficult as a 900 on vert

Hats off, I am still sketchy at kickflips!

[eggncheezy]

usually kids like this dont become huge but you never know

[willscottsmith]

I’ve seen several videos of a kid doing a 1080, and every video says “first ever 1080”

[tomsellout]

This was 8 years ago? Holy... time flies

[HelgeStrichen]

great idea to have two cuts during the trick. thumbs up!

[pex]

if vert was still as popular as it was when tony hawk was riding then this trick would have been done 8 years ago

[speedit]

Tom Schaar video game is gonna be huge,

[DCProductions]

the x games were huger to a wider audience than it is now. They had more sports in it. its still huge only cause they have more of a national audience. But that national audience isn't really the same national audience before. most of the people who watched the first few xgames didnt even do extreme sports. Espn advertised it well. had all the best of the extreme sport stars in it. So random people were watching it. Now if you went up to somebody random the best they are going do is name shawn w
