If you already hold the title of being the youngest skateboarder to be crowned , have appeared in videos from and signed at 16, where do you go next? You could opt for bigger tricks with larger obstacles or, if you’re American skater Tyshawn Jones, you could instead up the ante by jumping over multi-million-dollar supercars.
Jones’ latest video sees him pull off an ollie on the streets of New York City. But this isn’t just any ollie, it’s maybe the most expensive ollie of all time as Jones jumps .
In the clip, first shared to Jones’ Instagram, the 24-year-old skater is seen speeding down a New York street towards SP2. That car, if you’re interested, is one of just 500 models built by Ferrari and is currently valued at around $5 million.
The car is an absolute monster, based , which means it’s powered by Ferrari’s 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces just over 808 horsepower and 530 lb-ft or torque. The car is then clad in bespoke bodywork and carbon fiber to keep the car as light as possible. Ferrari even took the windshield off the front to help keep weight at a minimum.
It’s a pretty special car, so seeing someone hurtling towards it on a skateboard is a real heart-in-the-mouth moment.
But Jones is a professional, so at the last second he leaps into the air, taking his board with him. He glides majestically over the car’s cockpit, before landing on the street at the other side of the Ferrari. Rapturous applause erupts from the assembled crowd before, n, the traffic starts honking for everyone to get out the damn way.
It’s a cool clip, and is definitely an easy way to brighten your Monday.
