Watch: 11-year-old lands 1080 to break Tony Hawk's record

An 11-year-old skateboarder has made history by becoming the first person to land a 1080 on a vertical ramp.

Brazil's Gui Khury completed three full spins in the air to break Tony Hawk's 900-degree turn record set in 1999. Gui previously became the youngest skateboarder to complete a 900 at age 8.

Gui's father, Ricardo Khury Filho, credited the boy's latest feat to school closures in Brazil due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"The isolation for the coronavirus helped because he had a life that was about school and he didn't have a lot of time to train, when he got home from school he was tired," Ricardo told Reuters' Andrew Downie.

"So now he is at home more, he eats better and he has more time to train and can focus more on the training, so that has helped. He has an opportunity to train here, if he didn't have (the skate facilities) ... he would be stuck at home like everyone else and unable to do sport. So the isolation helped him focus."

Gui celebrated by enjoying "mac and cheese at home" with his family.

American skateboarder Tom Schaar completed a 1080 in 2012 but did so on a megaramp.
