Ema Kawakami, a 10-year-old, became the first-ever person to do THREE back-to-back 900s

On June 27, 1999, Tony Hawk made skateboarding history by landing the first-ever 900 in competition at the X Games in San Francisco. The trick required him to spin two and a half full rotations in the air before landing back on his skateboard. At the time, the 900 was considered one of the most difficult tricks in skateboarding, and many believed it was nearly impossible to land. Hawk had already attempted the trick several times, falling repeatedly as the pressure built. But instead of walking away, he kept trying. On his final successful attempt, he landed cleanly, sending the crowd into absolute chaos. What made the moment even more remarkable was that Hawk had spent years pushing the limits of what was possible on a skateboard. His achievement became one of the most iconic moments in action sports history, inspiring generations of skaters to challenge their own limits. Tony Hawk didn’t just land a trick. He changed skateboarding forever. #TonyHawk #900 #Skateboarding #XGames #SportsHistory
