Many have tried and failed, but not this 12-year-old skateboarding wizard.
Tom Schaar became the first person to complete a three-rotation aerial maneuver known as the 1080. "It was the hardest trick I've ever done, but it was easier than I thought," Schaar told ESPN. Pretty impressive considering he's not even in high school yet.
Former Olympic hero Shaun White is suddenly chasing a 12-year-old.
According to ESPN.com, Schaar landed his history making trick after only a few tries while skating at an action sports camp in Tehachapi, Calif. His father, Nick, proudly said his son completed the 1080 on just his fifth attempt.
