Tony got bags and brought the community with him. Props to the goat. 👑

[@RSpracticalshooting]

He made those dudes household names on top of a pile of fucking money. Tony Hawk is the best thing to ever happen to skateboarding.

[@telmolicious]

U know that he had something to do with that?

[@MB-vk8cv]

@@telmolicious He picked the people to be in the game.

[@bunyann90]

@@RSpracticalshooting he was mega hated in the 80s in the competition scene though, as his dad would put on events and tony would seem to get preferential treatment from judges.

[@jasonhoppe781]

Tony was also one of the very few people let alone skaters actually skating vert. He was uncommon in an uncommon world of skateboarding. Had his own house in high school.

[@SOFFtv]

Had to go with my granddad to a car mechanic when i was a kid in Denmark. Took forever so I went outside to skate on my beat up Flip deck in the parking lot, and the mechanic eventually comes outside and i was expecting the usual "you cant skate here" routine. Turns out the mechanic was Rune’s dad, and he had just called Rune to go down to the workshop to gift me a new Flip deck and a signed t-shirt. Still got the shirt too. Best memory ever.

[@bolestivapravda]

We need THPS 3+4 Remastered!

[@memorysometimers3067]

They should’ve just waited a bit longer and did THPS 1,2,3 and 4. Sooooo many awesome maps and skaters and guest celebs!!!

[@dannydropshot9588]

That would be amazing. I honestly want a remaster/remake of the first Underground 😍

[@Rustyfb666]

Won't happen. The game plays were drastically different

[@bolestivapravda]

Yes THUG 1 Is best for me.@@dannydropshot9588

[@VjeranPavic]

well... VV, a division of Activision in charge of the 1+2 remaster got moved to other projects and the 3+4 remake got canceled 😔

[@beastmode8895]

Christ Air was the go to special move 😂🙌

[@christianterrill3503]

It had the least buttons combo if I remember correctly it was for sure the easiest to pull of

[@PatDK]

@@christianterrill3503i just played THUG and you could load your specific special moves which was cool… also once you got really good at combos became a crazy multiplier. I was way WAY better at grinding and manuals than I was at vert tricks, so I loaded up on the grinds and manuals specials

[@terribletimmy2]

@@christianterrill3503 And easier to score high as well. 540 Christ Air iirc was worth more than the 900.

[@ETGsynth]

Crazy to hear the THPS stories over the years.

[@tonyvondoom8951]

I met Rune at HCSC in the late 90's and he got me to drop into my first 10ft half pipe. It was epic being at the top of the pipe as he was doing his thing. Simon Woodstock was also an amazing dude there. I won Simons cd player in a game of skate. He totally let me win and still gave up his tunes. Super fond memories of my time there!

[@birdman4birdlegs]

Rodney was the most consistent character for doing his specials on his board. Bam was the most consistent for doing his specials off his board

[@hhgreg2969]

He never did the Rodney Primo on a rail like in the games though!

[@corey69000]

[@occiferkodi]

THPS legit changed my life not just as a gamer. But also my taste in music. I discovered so many artists through his games. If it wasn’t for him I dunno if Busdriver would have ever crossed my radar

[@KyleMillerRocks]

We didn't have access to skate videos as a kid (until Limewire came around) so THPS was our main introduction to most of these legends outside of the random Transworld magazine mom would buy me at the grocery store when they had it. The video clips in the game and summer X-games were the only thing we knew of skate culture and the game introduced us to tricks we didn't even know existed. Imagine trying to learn tricks from doing them over and over in a video game and figuring out how they worked? We weren't very good but we skated from sun up to sun down and played THPS all night. A neighbor acquired a copy of 411 VM from an older cousin and it was MIND BLOWING, particularly seeing skateboarding and its personalities and antics outside of the x-games broadcast.

[@grxygxds]

Go watch some of the character videos from the games.. they'll take you back. I wish I could live through the late 90's all over again.

[@maxwellclark7054]

I picked rune glifberg every single time because i had a big yellow sweatshirt like he had in the game. On grind session i had to pick daewon or pigpen 💯

[@blitzu_1]

Pigpen was so sick in thrasher game!! Controls weren't as good as thps but still a skate game so its gonna get ran.

[@wakeyskate]

I love this corner of KZbin, the comments sections are all so positive

THPS was one of the reason I picked up a skateboard, first board was an angel deck then I nearly cried when I got that birdhouse deck.

Brutal to turn down to be in a game, the FIRST game.

[@Okshake]

Geoff Rowley and Rune were my favs in the thps games

[@craighawley3920]

As a FLIP fanboy some of those decks on the wall are amazing. The sorry one, Tom Penny, Rune's of course... I still have a Geoff Rowley Motorhead New Wave Flip deck with the ripples in it.

All awesome, Flip Sorry I must have watched hundreds of times with my mates as a kid too (and Really Sorry)

The year after Rune, won the worldtour, Sandro diaz the following champ, had the christair as his sick move. I helped build the ramps when it was in Copenhagen, so i saw i live :)

There's a kid in our neighborhood in 1988 in Florida that was rumored to have skated with Tony Hawk. He had a half pipe in his backyard that his dad had built for him but no one was allowed to use it.

See Christ Air always made sense for Glifberg though because he was always like... I mean he would just air so high out Like he's saying he's never done one but when you're doing like vert triples you basically kind of have to do one sometimes just to make sure you dont hit anyone lol which is actually funny for more reasons than just that now that i'm re-reading this XD
