Tony Hawk Skates the First Ever Horizontal Loop
And makes it look like child’s play in the process.
Having set many world records over his illustrious skate career, Tony Hawk can now add one more accolade to his list. In this video promoting Sony’s new Action Cam, Hawk’s team constructs a novel horizontal loop ramp into the side of a regular half pipe, which Hawk uses to complete the world’s first horizontal loop maneuver. Requiring a combination of high speed, measured momentum and centrifugal force, the incredibly difficult stunt is completed with grace by Hawk who, in his usual modus operandi, makes the whole thing look like a breeze.
