Sky Brown has shown her fearlessness on the skateboarding circuit and while the challenges are there for any professional in the sport, she appeared to take on new heights Wednesday.
Sky, who just turned 12 last month, enlisted Tony Hawk to help her tackle Elliot Sloan’s’ “mega” ramp. A video posted on Hawk’s Twitter account showed the young skateboarder dive down the ramp and eventually execute the jump.

Sloan’s backyard ramp is approximately 100 feet off the ground. Skateboarders who move quickly down the ramp face one jump and then up the halfpipe and back down.
Sloan wrote on the full video’s description that Sky was the first female skateboarder to jump his ramp.
