At X-Games VI, in San Fransisco, Tony hawk landed the first ever 900 on a skateboard in front of millions.

This one event shot Tony through the roof of success and saw skateboarding hit the mainstream hard. Congratulations to the birdman for landing this trick despite Danny Way coming oh-so-close almost a decade earlier in an H-Street video, Risk It. Since the 900 has been opened, Sandro Dias and Giorgio Zattoni have added their name to the exclusive list. The 1080 is still up for grabs though.
