First Ever Female 540 Mctwist
By: Janos Palko
Tony Hawk Show Highlights
Uploaded by quiksilver. - Check out more sports and extreme sports videos.
Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins landed the first ever 540 Mctwist by a female yesterday in France.

What makes this more impressive is that no woman, not even Lyn-Z, has ever landed one before, so this was truly a first.
