Free skateboarding lessons are happening at a new skatepark in Detroit. Of course I had to show the kids something on @Local4News. In all seriousness - as a child, I would have killed for a new park and mentors in the skateboarding community. Glad to see it’s happening in Detroit
22 years after Tony Hawk became the first skateboarder to land a 900 on a vert ramp, 12-year-old Gui Khury became the first to land a 1080 on a vert ramp.
Khury became the youngest gold medalist in X Games history and did it all in front of Hawk himself 🙌

12-year-old Gui Khury not only made history with Tony Hawk watching, but also competing in the same category 👏

Skateboarding is great because the guy ripping around doing switch nose grinds and blunts still gets stoked when you land a nosegrind or simply do a 180 over the hip
