12-Year-Old Skateboarder Pulls Off The World's First 1080 Spin

Back at the 1999 X Games, the world's most famous skateboarder, Tony Hawk, pulled off the first 900 degree spin on a half pipe - after 10 failed attempts, and outside of the official regulation time.

Since then, he's pulled off the trick of tricks numerous times, even nailing it last year at the ripe old age of 42. Tony Hawk is a hero, basically.

But though there's no doubting his legendary status, he has been shown up a bit recently. Just take a look at this clip of a 12-year-old kid called Tom Schaar pulling off a - you guessed it - 1080.

That's three full revolutions on the board, in mid-air. That's incredible. Of course Master Schaar here is aided by a huge ramp to take him down to the quarter pipe, as well as his small stature and weight.

Still, we don't mean to to the little lad down - he's done something truly amazing and we're incredibly jealous.

Basketball Shot From Helicopter

It's often said that taller basketball players have more difficulty shooting from long range, but tell that to the team who sank a basket from a helicopter hovering 192 feet in the air.

Frankly, this just makes Shaq's free throw problems all the more inexcusable.

NBC's "Today" show reported on the footage, which the hosts said seems authentic because of the multiple angles shown.

Explaining the timing of the epic shot attempt, team member Rob Bliss tweeted, "Check out this world record 192 ft. basketball shot from a helicopter for #MarchMadness!"

While the team claims the shot set a world record, Michigan radio wonders, "where are the Guinness people and their clipboards?"
