On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, in Spain, professional skateboarder Danny León took advantage of the total solar eclipse to perform a particularly spectacular sequence.

Positioned on a ramp specially set up for the occasion, the skater launched himself into the air at the moment of totality. Filmed remotely with a telephoto lens, his jump appears as a silhouette against the completely eclipsed Sun, giving the impression that he passes directly in front of the black disc of the Moon.

This performance required significant preparation and precise positioning: unlike a typical sporting event, totality lasted only a few moments, and the skater, the ramp, and the camera had to be perfectly aligned.

Danny León is a professional skateboarder from Móstoles, near Madrid, who notably competed in the Tokyo Olympics in the skateboard park event.
