That’s 540 more than JOE can do anyway…
Nine year old (and excellently-named) Sabre Norris from New South Wales in Australia is most certainly taking the skateboarding world by storm. In the below clip uploaded by YouTubers The Berrics, the brilliant boarder perfectly nails a 540 – that’s when a skilled skateboarder boarder jumps and spins the board one and a half times. Thanks for the information Internet!
Here’s Sabre explaining how she managed to execute the excellent feat…
“My skating all started because I wasn’t allowed to get a bike because we don’t have a garage. So my mum bought us skateboards instead. I started from rolling down my dad’s business car park. I’ve been skating for about 3 years. My favorite trick is a 540.
I watched Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins do it on the internet, and I just had to do it. That was my 75th attempt of the day. Every time I tried one and didn’t land it I put a rock on the table. It ended up being my 75th rock. I was frothing. I did some 720s too. Not proper. I called it 540 to revert to splat. I didn’t cry though. My goal is to do 100 of them before this Saturday. I’m up to 75. I still can’t ride a bike, but I can do a 540.”
Now JOE’s trick of slowly riding around on a skateboard on one knee without crying doesn’t seem so impressive…
