Aussie skater, Arisa Trew landed a 720º at the Tony Hawk Vert Alert last Friday and etched herself in the history books as the first female skater ever to land this trick (at only 13 years old!). Hawk was the first skater to land this trick back in his heyday, and in fitting style, he got to witness this next-gen superstar stomp the trick at his own event. Arisa’s excitement was palpable as she celebrated her accomplishment with her fans on Instagram captioning her post “I can’t believe I landed my first 720!!! And to be the first girl in the world to land a 7 in competition,” before thanking everyone who helped her with her accomplishment.

Her coach Trevor Ward also took to Instagram to shed light on the process of getting Arisa to this historic achievement, and the battle between 16-year-old Lilly Stoephasius and Trew to land the trick.

“What an amazing scenario. The 2 best vert skaters going head-to-head to land the 720 in front of the inventor of the trick. Tony was giving both girls tips on how to do the trick.

“We knew it was coming soon. We just didn’t expect it to be in the world stage rather than on our vert ramp back home in Australia.”

Congratulations, Arisa!!
