Eight-year-old Evan Doherty became the youngest person ever to land a 720. I hope he tries to take a gigantic check from an inevitable endorsement deal to show and tell.

When I was 8, I was really good at capturing and torturing lizards. Guess that's not quite the same, though.

I used to street skate, this kid is the new tony hawk. For anyone who thinks this is stupid, has never skated. It's like being a ballerina on wheels, very physical and the fact that an 8yr old can do this is beyond amazing. For all you unacknowledged haters, try riding a skate board down a vert ramp, video record it, so we can laugh at you falling on your face.

It's a 540. He goes up facing the ramp. does 1 rotation (360) and then another half rotation (180) facing the opposite way on the ramp. 360 + 180 = 540.

  @Andy-Phillips-486Wrong. He did 2 full rotations = 720. If it was a 540 he would have landed facing away from the camera. Funny how you fail to see that but feel he failed only because his head was turned left when he landed it.

  @Andy-Phillips-486I can't believe this is the state of our education system...honestly. A 360 degree turn takes you to the exact same point from when you started. He goes up the ramp with his back to the camera. If he did a 360, he'd land with his back to the camera. A 720, two 360s, he would land with this back to the camera.

  @Andy-Phillips-486 What a fool, he doesn't go up the ramp with his back to the camera. Pause it when he goes up the ramp and you will see his knees bent towards the camera. When he lands his knees are still bent towards the camera. He did a 720. Go get your eyes check you blind idiot.

  @Andy-Phillips-486Just look at the board and you will see 2 full rotations. 360x2=720. Simple math.

He drops in facing the camera and when he goes for the 720 he is still facing the camera which means he did it fakie... SOOOO two 360's = 720...
