Elissa Steamer Shreds! Skateboard Legend | EP 99 | Hawk vs Wolf

[@colossalfart]

"A skateboard is a creative, kind of childish toy. And if you still have one when you’re older, you’re closer to living than dying." - Jason Ellis, 2023

Elissa is the most important female skater in history.

[@kingofthecuntsfromcuntasia3286]

Fact!. 😌

[@troyharvey9291]

She changed things in a way that are not as apparent today. A true pioneer.

Elissa Steamer is a true legend! No matter what.

Damn straight

[@Ianms]

Elissa’s part in Welcome to Hell still kicks ass ~30 years later.

[@Ianms]

“Elissa Steamer’s a superstar”

[@GABEGRAPES]

Ya still on par with the girls today which is kinda crazy

[@trackalex]

I was literally thinking that in my head. No joke. One of the goat’s

[@morgellon7877]

​@@GABEGRAPESGirls today are on par with the rest of the Welcome to Hell crew. Hell, Marissa dal Santo 20 years ago was gnarly enough that a dude could have fit right in doing her tricks. Elissa was a style skater; didn't do the biggest stuff, but always looked good on a board. I love her Welcome to Hell part because she was just learning to skate stuff like that; Jamie Thomas pushed her to skate bigger stuff. She would have got there on her own, no doubt, but it's good to have people push you to do stuff you might not otherwise do. I'd usually rather watch someone skating passed the limits of what they thought they could do than a person with athletic prowess doing difficult tricks casually.

[@r4x2]

The Sundays is a sick music choice too.

[@bryantgolden]

Wow! Elissa Steamer! I used to pick her in Pro Skater because as a kid I was like, "What the heck? A girl skateboarder? Awesome!" So awesome to know that she's still out there doing her thing! Love this podcast unlocking all these memories. This is so special, man.

[@Jay-wk9xj]

You can tell from this interview she's incredibly cool and humble just as you hope she would be..

[@Zeal808]

[@dazdealz4648]

Worked with Elissas Mom in Ft Myers many years ago and Her mom was so proud of her she would always tell us what she was doing at the time. This is when Elissa was with Etnies. Amazing to see she's still at it

[@queenBE.]

this episode is fire 🔥 ellisa is so cool and this is jasons best interview by far showing genuine interest in her career. it was fun watching them vibe about coming up in a similar time. tony did a great job quietly letting this blossom.

[@SabrinaMorris]

Perhaps no other skater embodies the spirit of skateboarding more than Elissa Steamer. Through that sense of play and determination she transcends gender, race, nationality, etc. and is a joy to watch and listen to. What a great podcast episode. Loved the last 15 minute intimate talk about THPS.

[@zacvotruba8374]

Fuck yes Elissa. Been apart of 3 of the most important teams in skateboarding, Toy Machine, Zero, and Baker.

[@gorelordzskate-racing-videos]

Now put her on anti hero.

[@Lostcause1974]

Hearing Your Skateboarding Idols talk about their first boards and sticker engineering them is quite possibly my favorite part of any podcast ever.

[@josie_the_valkyrie]

Yes! I looked up to Elissa so much when I was a teen.

[@tonydigital6017]

I will never forget the first time I saw Elissa on the scene. It was such a breath of fresh air. She looked so right on a board...all style. Seeing her here puts a big smile on my face. Straight up G

[@bluntbruhwilliams3878]

JUST SAW ELISSA STEAMER SKATING ROCKRIDGE IN BERKELEY 🔥SHE REALLY IN THE STREETS

[@hushberger]

Nostalgia mode activated. Love this. Love Elissa.

[@americangangster1911]

Nice, another THPS alumni. I was just rewatching the X-Games vert competitions when this popped up, it was awesome seeing Tony out there competing after everything he's been through this year.

[@MichaelSilverMedia]

He didn’t get any air though. Kept trying the same Madonna trick. It was cool.

[@ShockTheMonkey35]

She's awesome, no disappointment whatsoever watching the whole thing! Keep shredding and inspiring skaters everywhere til the wheels fall off!!! Then get new ones and do it again!

[@kryptichands968]

So stoked when I saw this pop up today, and can finally sit down and watch. Elissa is to this day my one of my favorite skaters. Love her stories and her stokednessss for skating.

[@victorsavage4638]

i loved playing elissa in tony hawk skateboarding in the 90s this was a great episode

[@WolfWould]

Love her. Saw her on her first tour with Toy Machine. I learned rock to fakie and never ever hung up in decades. Then......last year just happened one day. Must be subconscious that I knew I never had yet. Lol

[@arbyscurlyfries9490]

Wish I had that luck. Been doing them for almost twenty years and I still hang up like once or twice a year.

[@WolfWould]

@@arbyscurlyfries9490 I hang up learning rocks both ways though lol I'm same as Elissa on tre flips too. I still can not do them really.

[@domwalker6526]

One of the greatest pioneers of street skating

[@johnjoeparrot]

Elissa is an awesome conversationalist

[@SHREDBEARD696]

Bringing it every week with amazing guests 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Elissa is the most real human being. Truly appreciate her! Shredding boys 🔥🔥✌🏼🤙🏻

[@bpastorb]

Re-watching this episode, it is just as good the second time. Elissa is an awesome personality and skater, congrats on the well deserved and such a sweet Thrasher cover last month! Hearing you guys talk about avoiding tricks because of hanging up reminded me of how awesome it would be to see Mike Frazier on the show. He seems to be the master of all those sketchy tricks and he makes them look great and is still doing them. Being of a younger generation I only discovered him more recently from all the OG skate events, and he very quickly became one of if not my favorite vert skaters to watch

[@BobWeaver3000]

wooo!!! heck yea, Elissa rulez!! ps: it was UNREAL watching Birdman skate x-games yesterday!!!

[@draconianTL]

"Filming a Baker part right now" Best part of the video, hell yeah! Great skateboarder, full respect to Elissa for being around as long as she has, always in the streets ripping.

[@theorncampbell4432]

My friend Chris used to skate with Elissa, everyday, back in Fort Myers. When he moved back to Baltimore he told us about the girl named, Giz, that shredded harder than everyone else. Then we saw her pop up in videos and video games. That elevated her legend status for me. "Big day out" 😂 that Shit's gone.

[@H01YD1V3R]

Late to the party on this one. Never heard much out of Elissa Steamer over the years, but dude, when she giggles, I smile and start giggling. What an infectious laugh and awesome person.

[@ericbrattin4227]

Rad, she's a legend

[@stephenstarr975]

So much respect for her since childhood 👏 much love

[@NulJern]

Tony Hawk i love you. Still would like to see Rune Glifberg come and talk some skating, he has great stories!

[@cyberpunkholiday]

She'll always be a legend! Love ya Elissa!

[@Magdalena8008s]

Gotta admit. 34. Skated since 12 non stop. And I will admit. I never appreciated her as she dessrved. So, this is me giving her the flower's shes always deserved. 🌼

[@IGolfCanada]

TOY MACHINE Jump Off A Building. Need we say more!?! ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

[@MikeMuellnerMD]

Yeah that song was sick too. I liked the back to back no co complys in the open line.

[@toynazi]

As a 46 year old man, Blunt to fakie hang ups on a metal ramp is a brutal ass beating.

[@BeachBumsk8]

Rad episode.. can you guys get Gonz on the show or Natas, Blender, Alva posse?

[@morgellon7877]

It's interviews like this I wish they'd occasionally do special longer episodes. There's so much more I think they could have gone over. Hopefully they'll have her on again. Elissa rules.

[@dumbstupid5065]

Hells yes! Stoked.

[@chokeonnosebleed]

She said "Like Big Boy In The Morning" I fucking love this woman. From the day I landed my first trick with her.

[@klausschmutzhart2916]

She is so amazing! Something Realy special about her! ❤❤❤

[@noahhcams]

Wow, even bigger fan of Elissa now! Great episode!

[@aaronwetzel1981]

Always loved Elissa . I was 10 in 2000 when I started. She was and is one of my favorites, generally has that fun raw real street style. I had a few of her toy machines and remember having this white on black bootleg deck, it was handrawn by Knox godoy I think? Can't find it online for the life of me. But she rips. I'm glad she's doing well.

[@Lostcause1974]

In the history of the World, this is my favorite podcast! I always played as Elissa in THPS.

[@brendonmasters]

Elissa got the depth for certain. What a great person

[@TRKTKO]

Love the THPS talk! It'd be awesome to see some of the developers on to talk about the process of making those early games! Who knows it might bring enough attention to get remasters of the other games! Comment your favorite THPS guys to blow this up for Tony to see!

[@dneck]

4 is the best ... or 2. hard to pick

[@masturdate]

living legend.

[@gorelordzskate-racing-videos]

Shes so rad! Idk how many times ive seen welcome to hell, but i knew who she was before that because we started right before Thps1, so we actually back tracked with vidoes as well. I never thought it was odd that there was a woman pro skater, well a few at the time. Ill never stop skating and its because of all of my favorite legends still ripping in their 40s and 50s.

[@FunTangent]

Finally! Love it, love it, love it. Steamer is the best.

[@boscorelli23]

This is awesome

[@SkateZombie]

Loved playing her in THPS2

That is dope! I've heard Tony Hawk talk shit about his street skating so much, and seeing his reaction to Elissa's kudos is awesome

[@mking9231]

Rad!

[@garyvoigt321]

"My brain can" - Elissa Steamer. As an old man still trying to skate - I feel this.

[@morganw3251]

This is sick , Elissa is a boss always has been , she ain't a "female skater" , she's just a skater 👊👊👊

[@jigger222]

Great episode! Elissa is rad!

[@christianbaccus1524]

Was hoping to hear more about the early days of baker from tony and Elissa, you should get Andrew on and talk about it

[@skateturd916]

Met her in SF one time and she was super cool and humble. She hooked it up with gnarhunter stickers.

[@Thurston86]
