Video: Skate Legend Tony Hawk Performs a 900 at Age 48

Updated:

Tony Hawk has completed yet another 900, this time at the unbelievable age of 48.

“17 years to the day after making the first 900, Tony Hawk pushes himself to the breaking point and battles through this personal goal,” the RIDE Channel’s YouTube description states. “Tony says this might be his last 900 ever. His determination and drive are just as admirable as making the trick. Congratulations.”

A 900 is one of the most technically demanding tricks in skateboarding, defined as a 900 degree (2 and a half revolutions) aerial spin.

The first documented ‘900’ was performed by Hawk himself at the 1999 X-games after 10 failed attempts. 

Released June 27, the footage of his latest feat has now garnered over 126,000 views.
