A swoop "threading the needle."
"Threading the needle" was an infamous move among the swoop and skyhopper racers of Beggar's Canyon in which they would successfully jump through the Stone Needle. A slight miscalculation in this move would cause certain death. Luke Skywalker was one of very few who threaded the needle and survived.[1]
