Youngest X Games Medalist Ever Blasts Over Tony Hawk On His Private Ramp (Clip)

Hailing from Canada, Reese Nelson sort of shot out of nowhere earlier this year and has since been making waves every time she steps on her board. From being the youngest X Games medalist ever to officially landing a spot on the Birdhouse team to countless sessions with her idol, Tony Hawk, this 10-year-old has already accomplished so much—and she's clearly just getting started.

"Today I went over the 🦅" she wrote on Instagram, and over the Hawk she certainly went. Not just once, either! Reese blasted over Tony three different times as Tony dished out three different tricks on the coping below her. (Which was your favorite?)

Longtime friend of Tony Hawk (and skateboarding OG in his own right), Miki Vukovich commented, "Thats so cool! Usually in a doubles routine, HE’S the one in the air," which I thought was a rad point. Tony is no stranger to doubles routines, but it's rare to see him catching tricks on the coping. Regardless, both pieces of that puzzle are extremely difficult (and terrifying) and it really takes a lot of skill, precision and confidence to pull this off.

It's crazy how much style Reese already obtains at such a young age. She's quickly becoming everyone's favorite and for good reason. Her attitude on and off the board is infectious and we'll be seeing a lot of this legend-in-the-making in the near and distant future.
