Meet Lizzie Armanto
"Not everyone can defy gravity. But apparently Lizzie Armanto is among those who can. Late last August, Armanto made history as the first woman to complete Tony Hawk’s infamous 360-vertical loop. Only a handful of skaters have ever been able to complete the stunt, long considered one of the most dangerous tricks in the sport. Armanto is a two-time X Games medallist — taking home gold at the first ever Women’s Skateboard Park event at the 2013 X Games — and is gearing up to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics." - Eda Yu (for i-D)
