On Sept 29, at 10:24pm, Jean-Martin Sicotte of Montreal, Quebec, Canada successfully landed the first 360 on a Dirtsurfer inline board!

After a horrific crash at Top Challenge 2006 in which JM was rushed to the hospital, no one thought he would be back riding this soon, nevermind jumping! However, upon release from the hospital two days later, JM told us he would be back riding and ready for an upcoming TV shoot in which his jumping abilities were planned to be showcased. JM lived up to his word and put his body to the test over the last few weeks of September, falling numerous times as he perfected his skills in preparation for an attempt at the elusive 360. This video shows his, and the world's, first 360 successfully landed on a Dirtsurfer inline board. Since landing this jump, JM has landed it numerous times and a new video will be released shortly. Enjoy!

The full video will be online soon and in it you will see that JM is not only focused on the 360, but is also pushing the sport in numerous other ways, including halfpipe 180s, ledge rides and drops. He is truly a pioneer in our sport and we look forward to his future accomplishments as well as those of others that are inspired by his success!
