1080 Jump in Aggressive Inline Skating

By , About.com Guide

Definition: 1080 or 1080 jump is a shortened name for 1080 degrees of rotation in the air. This is a very difficult and sophisticated aggressive vert skating stunt, where the skater rotates three complete revolutions in the air before landing. There are a lot of variations of this 1080 jump based on body position and the park or street structure used for take-off and landing. Triple jumps exist by other names in other forms of skating, too.
Also Known As: 1080, triple jump
