A 13-year-old Australian girl nailed a “720,” becoming the first female skateboarder to competitively land two airborne rotations and pulling off the amazing move in front of the sport’s pioneer, Tony Hawk.
Arisa Trew won the women’s competition at Hawk’s Vert Alert in Salt Lake City over the weekend and a spokesperson for Hawk confirmed on Wednesday that it was a historic moment.
Wearing a pink helmet and her pony tail flying, the audience roared when she pulled off the move. When it was over, three male competitors rushed to hug and congratulate her.
