This is the moment a 10-year-old boy from Berkshire landed a double back flip on a scooter.
Tyler Hainey, was already the youngest person to land a single backflip on a scooter – a feat he mastered at the age of seven.
And now he has managed to rotate 720 degrees before landing safely on his wheels.
Footage shared on his social media yesterday shows his pulling off the amazing feat at Asylum Skatepark near Macclesfield – and his astonished reaction immediately afterwards.
An ecstatic Tyler celebrated with friends at the top of the ramp at Asylum Skatepark near Macclesfield. He said: ‘This has been haunting me since landing on my head! Today I smashed the wall of fear down and smashed it to pieces!’

The video was uploaded on Monday, and has received more than 9,000 likes on Tyler’s Instagram.
Scooter fans believe Tyler has completed the youngest ever double backflip.
Tyler wrote: ‘This has been haunting me since landing on my head! Today I smashed the wall of fear down and smashed it to pieces!!!
‘You can tell how much this meant to me at the end.’
The youngster and his father Brian travel across the UK to skate parks so Tyler can improve his extraordinary skills.
He tells the camera after completing his impressive stunt that he cannot believe he was successful
Tyler has been riding scooters for almost five years and has won several prestigious competitions.
The young prodigy from Bracknell has earned the nickname Little Wolf from the scooter community and spends all his time after school honing his skills.
Confident Tyler has refused to be stopped by a few knocks and hopes to win gold if one day scooter riding enters the Olympics.
Even a scar from a split chin needing five stitches earned while trying to land the impressive backflip has not put him off.
On landing his first backflip, Tyler said: ‘It felt pretty hard first of all when I was trying to land it and when I got it more than three times in a row it was getting easier and easier.
Tyler, pictured aged seven, ditched his first scooter in favour of a custom-built scooter from his sponsor
It took Tyler a few attempts to perfect the backflip but practice made perfect for the talented youngster
‘It was amazing, my friends think I’m really good.’
Speaking after his first backflip, Tyler’s father Brian said he has built his youngster a half-pipe in the back garden for practice for when Tyler can’t go to the skate park or comes in after kickboxing classes.
Brian said: ‘He is absolutely unbelievable, he makes me so proud every day, not just with his scooter skills.
‘He’s a little talent, he’s going to do well in life.’
Tyler bought his first scooter from Smyths Toy Store after going to work with his father.
Now he boasts a custom-built ride courtesy of his industry sponsor.
Brian watched his son miss his first backflip attempt at a three-day competition in Corby before Tyler landed one to be crowned under-eight UK champion in November 2018 despite having an injured hand.
