MEETING TONY HAWK!!!

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Looks like Hawktober came early this year. Seriously, that's incredible. He seems like a great guy. I'm glad you had a fun time.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thanks so much dude, he is a top bloke. Hopefully I'll get the honor again someday, would love the opportunity for more of a conversation! 😁

[@Retrovin_Youtube]

I guess you could call it Hawkuary 😂

[@therealrockstargamer]

​@@SquareEyedJak I'm jealous Did you get his autograph on the games?

[@FireStormDel]

Can't believe the impossible has happened, Tony Hawk got to meet a celebrity! Jokes aside, it's really nice to see your adoration for Tony, his game series, the imitation games that followed in its wake, and the boom of skateboarding caused by THPS driving people to get into it come full circle in a heartwarming way. For me, the celebrities I'd want to meet include Ringo Starr, more for being the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine when I was a kid, and whoever I can see from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers cast who are still with us.

[@DmitriyK12]

Rest in peace Jason David Frank...so sad that he died. 😮😢 He was way too young; why didn't he get some help with his demons !?

[@PuNkY-fr]

I was here watching your videos since your humble beginnings and I saw you had endured a lot all these years so its very touching to see a genuine bright smile on your face on all the photos

[@davidmansour7482]

Dude awesome that you got to meet Tony Hawk, I went to both the Sydney talk and skatepark demo, didn't get to meet Tony Hawk but I did get to meet Lizzie Armanto.

[@YONE.MIE.]

BRO SO DOPE AS A FAN OF THE HAWKTOBER series!!!

[@jaccblacc8424]

Man, you're a lucky guy, Jak! After all of these years, Tony is still the coolest guy alive. I'm a fan of you both. I also had dreams of meeting a celebrity. Steven Spielberg is the first guy that comes to mind. Another celebrity is Chester Bennington, which unfortunately will never happen for obvious reasons.

[@Dan_the_afol]

That’s totally incredible that two celebrities showed up to the meet and greet. We had Tony hawk and the legend of square eyed Jack.

[@MrRetroUK]

Man. Your happiness radiates out of this video. Pleased that meeting him lived up to your expectations!

[@zpbstudios9551]

A fan of the Tony Hawk games meeting the games' namesake? That's totally SICK!!! Jak spent years playing as him, and now he's met him in person! You sure are one lucky Aussie, you know that, Jak? Also, screw Activision for canning THPS 3+4! I would have LOVED to skate in the Foundry, Canada, Skater Island, Tokyo, the Airport, College, Alcatraz, the Shipyard, London and the Zoo with the THPS 1+2 gameplay engine, but too bad Activision sold Vicarious Visions to Blizzard and forced Beenox to work on Call of Doodie! Shutting down the original THPS developers Neversoft was one thing, but canning a follow-up to one of the best game remakes of the 2020s thus far is another!

[@raphaelpatenaude5723]

Happy for you to have the chance to meet someone you admire. Thankfully this this he didn't visit Australia during the World Destruction Tour this time

[@jonbourgoin182]

Man I discovered you via your Donkey Kong 64 review because I wanted to see if anyone out there hated that game as much as I did. It's crazy how far you've come.

[@miguelmars422]

As someone who discovered your channel through your "ranking every Tony Hawk level" video, I can't help but feel super proud and happy for you, dude! I can tell just how important this was for you. Wish I could meet Tony one day as well. Super thoughful of you to bring him some unique things to sign too. Hopefully we get that interview someday! Maybe get him to play some of the games too. That would be awesome.

[@anthonydasilva7971]

I wasn't really a fan of skateboarding before seeing your videos and your channel man, you really made me learn to appreciate that sport, through the video games obviously but also starting to enjoy it in real life ! You really deserved to meet Tony Hawk in person, and I'm sure you'll meet him more in the future, thanks for the video and for your entire channel in general man

[@cromulence]

So happy for you! I hope he is made aware of your channel and you can get an interview set up with him.

[@adrenaliner91]

Congratulations on meeting the birdman and fulfilling a life time goal! Greetings from Germany

[@Katurayev.A.89]

Hey Squared Eyed Jak, it would have been awesome if you asked the Birdman for a remaster in Tony Hawks Underground game. We all loved that game or at least talk to him about it. I glad you met him, I wish I could.

[@lpshikayeleri4123]

Heey! It's amazing to see you talk more in depth about this experience! I always love the videos where you talk things outside of gaming! 😀 And seeing video clips of you outside of your house hanging out really felt like a vlog! I enjoyed it so much!! 😃 So happy that you met with Tony Hawk! I hope more of your dreams can come true. 💚🙏🏻

[@mrb4783]

Now this is one heck of a way of starting off the year. So happy for you to have met you childhood idol and it sounded like on heck of a show honestly.

[@shinkenger2011]

I'm so happy for you... meeting Tony Hawk (from the movie Tony Hawk's Boom Boom Sabotage)!!!

[@vasaline_slime_gaming98]

dude you're lucky i would love to hang out with tony hawk and play thps 2 and talk shit with him for an hour

[@kineticmediahub-enlightenment]

Congrats, mate! I felt similat vibes when I got to meet Charles Martinet (voice of Mario) back in 2014 when he came to Wellington New Zealand for the Armageddon Expo.

[@SpungPob]

Dude that’s fuckin rad!, Congrats. Tony Hawktober was such a memorable era for me & many others.

[@Killagoose77]

Honestly this video is so cool. I'm so glad you got the chance bro!

[@MrMegaMario64]

I think any of us that have been watching you for some time will say that we love this for you Jak!

[@Vegathron]

Damn this was such a wholesome storytime! Glad you got to meet you're hero man that is awesome!

[@charvelred]

slim eyed jak, looking good my boy, greeting from chicago!!!

[@soreyJr]

Hell yeah! Super excited to see what you have coming this year Jak.

[@hnlys2097]

Deck dogs is such a underrated movie in my opinion, I wish it would get more credit and the recognition as it deserves

[@fromvault801]

Thats awesome Jak. Im an old man and met him in 2000 when I was 12. He did almost the same pose

[@SquareEyedJak]

Not surprised he would have his photo op pose down by now ahaha

[@DmitriyK12]

Old man; I am 40 and I don't consider myself too old hahaha ?! Anyway, glad to hear that you met your ido. 😊

[@DmitriyK12]

To me old is a state of mind; we need to stop being told that we are over the hill.

[@bassettgames8076]

This is awesome! Imagine if he announced a THPS 3+4 remaster

[@BugsyFoga]

After all the Hawktober you’ve done throughout the years, your definitely deserve this, dude 😁👌

[@kamb8s]

I’ve been in those positions before at a meet and greet setting. Just coping with the bittersweetness of it. Knowing you’re no more special than anyone else in line & their time is just as valuable as yours, and the person you’re meeting has met 100,000 fans before you and will meet 100,000 fans after. But hey, at least you got to meet them and share a moment.

[@Timic83tc]

This was in Melbourne? I could have come to meet the celebrity (and that hawk guy)

[@Joshayyy]

Going to see him VIP in Brisbane too for the 25th THPS anniversary show . I'm so hyped

[@jesushankerstein9487]

I never like videos but I did because this one is pretty cool and as others have said we're happy you got to meet Tony Hawk. Feels right.

[@dspmcmirror]

Pleased for you. Thanks for taking us through this with this video.

[@jonatanthecuban]

dude, what a way to start off 2024. thanks for sharing your experience!

[@JLLullaby]

4:29 excellent background music choice jack, y’know I’ve heard that noodles rule the world

[@matthewdelaney5366]

Mate love your channel so much. You seem like a very genuine dude and I hope your channel flourishes! Love from Melbourne

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

It’s so rewarding to finally see this meeting after so many years.

[@dianaberlin4767]

Congratulations JAK!!!!!! Very happy for you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@cougar-town]

Tony Hawk is a champ.

[@TheKilroyman]

Congratulations Jak! I can only imagine how excited you must have been! Its always super cool to meet your hero IRL!

[@Spider_Mike023]

It’s been cool watching not only this channel progress but jak as well. Been awesome seeing this real side surface more recent years and cool to hear and see snippets of this experience finally got to do!

[@ReconX20]

Legends meeting legends.

[@qtr_lyf_krysis]

Massive pop for Deck Dogz man I love that film so much

[@Kovacz13130]

Dude the stoke is so high and real from you. Don't ever apologize or justify the way you feel. It's fucken rad meeting an idol and just being in the moment with them 🙌👌👌

[@devonodevon]

I did the meet and greet too, I would have been a few rows behind you, left side of row A. It was a great night!

[@Str8outta604]

So happy for you Jack! Meeting Prod was the highlight of my life! Coolest dude ever!

[@SCHMALLZZZ]

Used to live at 3099 Newshire Street in Carlsbad when he was a kid.

[@blakeanderson5011]

My friend got a cameo as a gift for his THPS themed birthday. He even listened to his music and mentioned it in the cameo. Idk how Tony does it but he’s one of the best celebrities for real.

[@blakeanderson5011]

Also his birthday was the day before Halloween so it was a costume party, very Hawktober vibe all around I should have played some of your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@OGHalcyon]

Great video dude and pleased for you! Hope to meet the Birdman myself one day! But I did see the UK THPS cover band The 900 last year and can confirm they rock!

[@bluehawaii5066]

Glad you got to meet him , you definitely deserved it 👍

[@Reigndolph]

Imagine being the guy talking about Tony Hawk Pro Skater only to meet the guy in person

[@FilbertAllTheWay]

Of course you had to meet him, you are to the Tony Hawk games what Caddicarus is to Crash Bandicoot. Good for you!!! I only wish I have the opportunity one day

[@EmperorDank]

This is brilliant, what a way to start the year

[@BenjaminGoodman]

Very happy for you! I even saw a video of him singing Amoeba live

[@Deoxys911]

I never thought I'd be spending my afternoon watching Tony Hawk sing Superman, but here I am.

[@eternalsword1999]

I started following you, after your Enter the Dragonfly review, honestly dude it's insane how far you've come since then, I'm glad to be in your Discord server, and that's sick that you finally got to meet the Birdman legend himself, keep up everything you do!

[@Chichimee]

Meeting a real-life video game character is so cool congrats on that man

[@SAVANTI711]

Deck Dogz best skating film period. I got my copy still too.

[@Timic83tc]

Congrats... that's incredible.

[@TRAVisty_James]

I work part time selling merch at various gigs. It baffles me how often I see people leave early before the best parts of shows they spent good money to see. You see some people spend THOUSANDS of dollars on vip packages for their whole family and just not show up. In fact VIP events where 100% of people who bought these expensive packages, turn up, is a rarity. It’s just mind blowing 🤯

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Sounds like you had the absolute time of your life. I'm so happy for ya, Jak!

[@Joshayyy]

I went to the Sydney show it was so good to see him and the band

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

Dude congratulations on meeting the Hawkster, so happy for you! This was a fun vlog style video that we don't really see often and it's really well done! And bud, the gym visits are definitely showing! Keep it up!

[@SlavMachine]

I got to meet jaws and take a photo with him today at thps Brisbane im so happy

[@jamesmijatovic2461]

Honestly your the only youtuber who i would ever watch real life videos of, just a top notch youtuber tbh

[@HiwatariKON]

Our icon meeting his hero ❤❤

[@luizg6675]

Awsome video bro big fan for years 👏 👍

[@AlmanacNBK]

Great video. Is he doing any skating in Brisbane? WOuld love to see him but couldn't get tickets

[@yesofcourse8520]

This is so badass lol. Good for you Jack! Puts a smile on a man's face.

[@MR.__G]

This is awesome. Glad you met the legendary birdman. You deserved it. Now have a great fucking day !!

[@eugenefindit]

Congratulations on meeting someone you've looked up to for so long. I don't think I've had that experience myself if I can remember correctly. But when I do, there's no way I could calm down from excitement for a while. 😁

[@moejuggler6033]

Pretty awesome man. Thanks for sharing!

[@PolarisCastillo]

Helluva way to kick off HAWKUARY 2024

[@CptNoms]

Congrats my dude

[@abandonedchannel-n6v]

Legend meets legend. Congrats, mate!

[@AngelYZ125]

Fuck yeah buddy!!! I’m glad you were able to enjoy such an awesome and significant experience for a super fan such as yourself!! Happy for you 👍🤙 Sounds like that was a great fucking day for you ;)

[@catethps]

i can't believe you got deck dogz signed by him that is an INSANE pick, great movie lmao

[@GranValor97]

Hope he some day knows how much replay value you’ve added to his games!!

[@FindingDale2008]

Imagine how funny it'd be if someone made Tony sign like Tony Hawk Shred or Pro Skater 5 like «could you sign my favourite game?” As a joke

[@jesterdk]

Cool vid! Definitely seems like you had An Experience! I assume you're also a fan of the Hawk Vs Wolf podcast they have going nowadays, too?

[@AquaTwist_]

Yo that's awesome! Really happy to hear you got to meet such as skateboarding legend, you deserve it. :)

[@joeyparkhill8751]

I'm excited just watching this! I have a question for you Jak: With Activision now owned by Microsoft, do you think the Tony Hawk games will come back soon whether it be a remake of the NEVERSOFT games or Backwards Compatibility for XboxOne & the Series S|X?

[@EmilXOM]

Tony singing Superman sounds like the absolute ideal way to end the show. God damn

[@ryanrowe1975]

Really cool!

[@Retrovin_Youtube]

Very awesome, must’ve be really great to meet such a legend

[@SadieKiller604]

Hadn't finished watching the but i'm 20mins in and I just gotta say, I fucking love the whole vibe of this video, it's very chill and just the commentary style you have here is really nice the editing isn't going super hard, but it shows cool details when it really matters, and like I was only semi excited to watch this, cause tbh i'm not really a tony hawk fan, but just the whole video is so relaxing and funny, I love it, thank you for the good vibes Jak, keep up the good work mate ^~^

[@e93sports80]

Saw your X and IG posts.

[@Tempesta]

So happy for you, this is amazing!!

[@dreampillet]

What an awesome experience! I've heard nothing but good things about him :)

[@thewomaninr3d434]
