Tony hawk, you’re the fucking man. I played Tony Hawk games all through out my childhood (all American was the best in my opinion) . I learned to skate at a young age because of you and even though I can’t do too many tricks anymore, I use it as transportation every day on campus. One of the things this video didn’t mention is the community behind skateboarding. I remember being a kid and going to the skate park and being offered assistance with tricks and tons of support. There are always bad apples in a bunch, but overall the skate community is unbelievably welcoming and supportive. If I had a kid and they grew up wanting to skate, I’d be thrilled.

Its crazy how down to earth and modest this dude is, he talks about these tricks as if he just learned them, when in reality, he didn't just learn half of these tricks, he invented and was the first one ever to land most of them, pretty much every basic trick in any skateboarders arsenal, either vert or street, was invented by either him or Rodney Mullen. If you've ever called yourself a skater, or just love skating, you owe so much to Rodney and Tony for everything they've done for all of us, they clearly just love skating as much as all of us, they're always open to talk about and explain how they do the tricks they do, theres no secrets, theres just all of us skater buddies sharing tips and tricks and trying to get better or do things no one else has ever thought of or tried, I've always loved the skater community, theres nothing like it, and really, these dudes started it all. You're a f##king legend Tony, take more credit for what you've done and achieved, you deserve it, for everything you've given to our community.

[@justalpha9138]

It all depends on what kind of style you prefer. Do you want a sense of security, but still a sense of recklessness and rebel-ness, go with a scooter; it can do a lot of stuff. You want to follow traditions, and pursue challenges to get incredibly gratified, as well as have fun no matter what the circumstance is, go skateboarding. If you hate going with a specific and distinct form, and have a hard time doing tricks on a scooter or skateboard like me, go with rollerblading. Aggressive Inline skates will help with grinding and doing tricks, but you get the drift. I did skateboarding and scootering for several years each, and I also do ice skating, now, I just bought a pair of aggressive inline's, so I'll have experience with every platform. :)

wacpj19 to most of us who learned to skate with pads it is the same. This is the secret that skaters who think pads are lame don’t know: pads let you go big and bail safely.

I still have his boom boom huck jam autographed poster by him I got when I went when I was 9 since then been skating since

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

Activision needs to get their shit together. People are dying for another good skating game, Pro Skater 5 was an unfinished and uninspired embarrassment. Give the license to a studio that is passionate about the originals and can actually make a good game.

[@ericadam8383]

R thug is my favorite. thug 1 & 2 and American wasteland were like the peak of the franchise

[@brizzle711]

Skate 4 or bust

[@jbarnhill45]

Imagine what Rockstar could do with THUG 3.

[@apu889]

the one and only who CAN make the real tony hawk game, was Neversoft. sadly they're not around anymore :(

[@pearbuns101]

R project session

[@mojoplayer8915]

Kickflip= Left + Square

[@argy.19]

Haha nice one.

[@Sweeneytv]

Tony. What an absolute legend. Even with all the fame. He still seems to chill.

[@MRTN13]

Goddamnit. That guy is going to celebrate his 50th birthday and I can't even lift an eggplant in a grocery store

[@ArthurC7]

"I'm 49. The end." What a guy, hahaha.

[@courage552]

Yup no excuses😎

[@jasonbailey9139]

Wow-I was expecting flippant answers to a lot of those questions, but he totally answered them seriously and in depth. Awesome, Tony!

[@Blaqk_8298]

How many people love TONY HAWK?

[@Blaqk_8298]

Spooky Goon 731 Lol

[@slightlyusedpsx]

Five.... million

[@floresj]

My home page as a kid used to be tonyhawk.com… I guess you can say I kinda like him

[@therealnasr]

He's a skating legend. And he will always be the first dude to perform the 720 on skateboard so yeah.

[@therealnasr]

Also first dude to perform a 900.

[@Yakamozari]

A legend of all time. Going in the hall of records for sure

[@dynamitedingo8183]

he is all ready in there...

[@rickylafleur2112]

I love how hes like 50 and hes doing 540s

[@Swag-th6tk]

Ricky LaFleur Ricky is that you 😂😂

[@DiscountOstrich]

For some reason I ended up on this video for the second time. I don't even skateboard. I don't even care about skateboarding. But he's a really cool dude

[@aerodinamicaattiva1970]

I love how at 1:20 he realized his skrew up, grabs the board, and throws it on the ground all before he hits the ground

[@omicron942]

I would totally buy a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game! Just saying... pls activision...

[@maxstrong6915]

Omicron942 did you buy the last one? Loll

[@MotionCC]

Omicron942 I would get it if an actual company would develop it not robomoto I will never buy one of their games ever again

[@ehboss3220]

Pro Skater and Underground collections

[@maxstrong6915]

@Jason Brister exactly

[@Cerothel]

Pro skater games on N64 and PS1 were my jam

[@FlavioThepianist]

Cerothel Still my jam

[@sexualharassmentpanda7273]

I forgot about this guy. Never got into skateboarding but I always respected 2 things about him. He always seems down to earth, kind and polite and 2, he stresses the importance of wearing protective gear. The older I get the more I appreciate these things.

[@brunozago5499]

I don't even skateboard, but this guy seems nice

[@arnzidge]

Lol same😆

[@VideoDeadGaming]

I remember staying up late to watch the X games live (it was on about 3am UK time) and watching Tony land the 900 - so epic!

[@TonyHavenMusic]

I love how relevant and composed Tony Hawk is, my childhood wrapped up in one human being "Hey Tony is there a trick called fakie 540 nose plant hand slide tail grab over head backflip?" "No, but wait a minute, ok I've invented that now, let me show you"

[@gavinroberts2581]

I've been watching skateboard tricks and even though tony hawk is a vert guy his flat ground tricks look so cool. I feel like I've never seen anyone Ollie the way he does.

[@reelin2nfro259]

Holy shit i feel old after watching this video. You're awesome Tony.

[@randucci]

Made me reminisce of Tony Hawk Trick Tips on VHS. I would slow-mo, rewind parts to understand the magic of the movements. I'm 32 now and still skate because of these lessons. Thanks Tony, you are the GOAT.

[@PalmelaHanderson]

Not gonna lie, I think that back boardslide was the first time I've ever seen Tony Hawk do a street trick.

[@gatordontplay94]

Spencer There’s footage of him street skating back in the day. I️ was terrified when I️ saw him rolling up to that rail though. “No Tony! Just get Riley to demonstrate, you’re gonna break your hip.”

[@citruseel2421]

Saw

[@kobalt_ren01]

IIRC there's footage of him skating street in Birdhouse's Feasters video.

[@jasondashney]

All-time classic vid.

[@fragger57]

Holy shit is he really 49?????

[@mooneater7072]

TheDawg57 dude haste been famous since the 80’s

[@Psycoholic2008]

50 Now. :) Still doing it.

[@styxzero1675]

+Galactic Pancakes I beg to differ. His games made him very famous. And they were all pretty recent.

[@anzaeria]

In the 1980s, Tony Hawk was well known within the skateboarding community. He was one of the biggest skaters of the day and featured in many issues of skateboarding magazines as well as videos and played a small part in the movie Gleaming The Cube. Though he was virtually unknown outside of the skateboarding community. Of course these days, Tony Hawk has become a house hold name.

[@PizNeyWorks]

He’s 50 now

[@oHawkeyeo]

He makes it look smooth af. Watching a master at his/her craft is so pleasant

[@BeanieDraws]

It's always disgusting that a company gets to "own" the rights to someone else's name. Well, name and "pro skater" would have thought Tony Hawk owns that and Activision licences it.

[@TheClassicWorld]

Or how after somebody has been dead long enough, you can ruin their work [novel/film]. I am glad rights is better here in England. Getting rights to anything and actually owning something is hard in the US, it seems.

[@jqyhlmnp]

Beanie Draws not really, he can make tony hawk: the skater and work with ea. No problems

[@JustSujC]

He sold them the rights to his name. He was fully aware of what he was doing before he signed the contract. I'm sure he was paid a small fortune so I don't see any issue with it.

[@PantsB4Squares]

In the beginning of sports video games, companies completely raped the atheletes they hired. It was common they would get a meesly single check and no royalties for sale. Especially no-one recieved royalties, thats where all the money is made. Companies knew they were using them.

[@Zedaso]

He will have agreed to it after receiving a large sum of money.

[@seniartkreatif]

i rather see him like in keeping with tony hawk as an actual 40 season run reality tv shows than that bland one....unfortunately that is not going to happen..

[@damnedbelowjudas_]

I love how he talks as if he was still 17. This dude is so cool.

[@TryingToDoBetter306]

He looks older than dirt but he can still kick my butt at skating....

[@KingBlonde]

Ahh but be he looks pretty good for his age.

[@namesthathasent3569]

Tony Hawk’s Underground 3 would be so 🔥🔥🔥

[@enriqueduran8900]

I love the face Tony makes when he says how other pro skater swear by there trucks and would always hold on to them and he like I just give them away

[@lanceseaman88]

The only skaters from Tony hawk 1 that were in the 10th video game were you and Andrew Reynolds... If you do ever have say on another one please bring back the nostalgia with the older skaters, older skate spots, etc. It should be a mix of new and old... Also maybe MAYBE take some tips from SKATE 1-3 as far as mechanics go.

[@catethps]

when they took tips from skate mechanics-wise they ended up making the worst entries in the series, no thank u

[@deadpoolfanfelix3858]

Lance Seaman m

[@ScorchedEclipse]

you talking about project 8/proving ground?

[@catethps]

proving ground moreso, p8 was alright the whole "realistic skate controls" thing is also what spawned ride and shred

[@partymonster2126]

Tony hawks underground 3???? 😏

[@nyboi6045]

Niko Revo well technically tony hawks pro skater 5 was made by robot moto and he is talking about tony partnering with activision

[@travismester]

100% on THPS 1&2. Replaying was just as fun as when I first played it. Tony is a national treasure!

[@Dani-il-el.Krech2]

Fuck , just imagine this , he is doing all that shit on a wooden plank with wheels

[@JC-nq9fb]

Dan K33 blabla are you...are you high?

[@vernesdelpeche7240]

JO NAS aren't we all?

[@sawbeck9361]

Dan K33 blabla cough cough braile...

[@arkham_raider8556]

Pro skater 2 was the best! Along with a completely badass soundtrack

[@hostsofmichael]

Yes!!!

[@dudremoved1629]

I'm still think THUG 2 was the best..also good soundtrack..

[@SCAREFACE3456]

hey oh, lets go!
