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. I'd normally make fun of any full grown adult who abbreviates a name like 'Lindsey' with 'Lyn-Z', but now she can say she's the only girl ever to do something cool, so i guess i'll shut up. I've never even been close to being the only guy on earth to do something, unless you count getting stitches from playing foozball as 'cool'. You win, Lyn-z. This all went down at the historic Grand Palais in Paris, for Quiksilver's Tony hawk Show. Hawk also landed a perfect backside 900 just before Hawkins made history with her Mctwist. What makes this more impressive is that no woman, not even Lyn-Z, has ever landed one before, so this was truly a first.
