The huge ass stair gap? Sometimes the metal hardware kicks up sparks when it gets enough impact. There are also some frames that have metal supports and such. I think his skate might have clipped the end of the last stair, which could have some metal plate on it.

I've actually seen completely plastic pieces make sparks, guess it's just friction. That may not be scientifically right though.
