Tom Schaar (born September 14, 1999) is an American professional skateboarder.[2] He was the first skateboarder to land a "1080," which is three revolutions, and was the youngest X Games gold medalist after completing the first 1080 in a competition at the 2012 Asia X Games in Shanghai;[3][4] Forbes Magazine listed Schaar to their 2020 30 Under 30 Sports category highlighting the next generation of Sports talent.[5] Schaar won the silver medal in the men's park skateboarding competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Skateboarding career

In addition to being the youngest X Games gold medalist, Schaar is also the youngest Dew Tour champion,[6] the youngest Vans Pool Party champion,[7] and the youngest "Big Air" gold medalist at the Austin X Games.[8] Before turning 18 years old, Schaar was a nine-time X Games Medalist.[9] On March 20, 2019, Schaar was named to the first-ever U.S.A Skateboarding National Team.[10]

Main article: 900 (skateboarding)

In October 2011, Schaar became the 8th person in history to land a 900 on a skateboard.[11]

1080

Main article: 1080 (skateboarding)

In 2006, skateboarder and snowboarder Shaun White unsuccessfully attempted the 1080 on 21 occasions at that year's X Games and 29 occasions the year before. It had previously been considered the "Holy Grail of skateboarding tricks". At age 6, Schaar had watched White's 2006 attempts from the stands.[12]

In March 2012, at the age of 12, Schaar landed the first 1080 on a skateboard after four previous (unsuccessful) attempts.[13] Schaar commented to ESPN, "It was the hardest trick I've ever done, but it was easier than I thought.".[14] He completed the feat on a mega ramp.

At the Asian X Games, he won skate Mini Mega by landing the 1080,[15][16] and became the first to land a 1080 on a skateboard in a competition and the youngest ever to win an X Games gold medal at the age of 12.

Sponsors

Schaar's main sponsors are Element Skateboards,[17] Vans Shoes,[18] and Monster Energy.[19]
