Tony Hawk Invites Friends to Try the Loop for the First Time - 2008

[@MsJavaWolf]

Skating: 50% skill 50% knowing how to fall without dying

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

Technically, knowing how to fall without dying _is_ skill when referring to more extreme sports.

[@JuanPabloContrerasC]

so what u are saying is..that.... is 100% skill... thx

Notice how they were all wearing helmets. Because they aren't idiots.

[@danielaguilera5864]

Yeah most skaters dont wear hemmets not because they are idiots but because they dont want to. They just get back up and do it again. These skaters probably all skate without a helmet on the streets

[@danielaguilera5864]

Theyre just wearing because its a loop and dont want to land on top of their head with all their bodyweight added

[@voydent]

Fixed* Notice how they were all wearing helmets. Because they dont wanna become idiots

[@strikerscrap1619]

they're wearing it because its a fucking crazy loop. you dont need a helmet for normal street skating if you know how to fall

[@killbillgrill3287]

@@strikerscrap1619 knowing how to fall doesn't save your ass 100% of the time. Not wearing protection is just stupid.

Never actually thought about how hard the loop is. In the video game, you can land it while going at like 1mph and standing perfectly upright lol

I know right?!

Me, mid corona quarantine: huh I’m bored wonder what I should do... KZbin: how about tony hawk shredding a loop

[@Tsahalal]

Where do you live? I'm in unconscious France. A disaster is going on... We are confined home only since Monday... Way too late, no masks, no test, if we are sick we have to stay home, we can go to the hospital when we are on a point to die... our gouv would want us dead he wouldn't had make things different. They know how bad is that virus since December the 20th... No action. God bless you all and good luck 🙏🏼❤️

[@chestersnap]

@@Tsahalal I'm in America and I'm expecting shit to really get bad here. I had someone try to argue yesterday that it's stupid for us to be adapting our lives and tanking our economy over this. I wish the government would do more to stop the spread but at this point I expect our death rates are going to end up closer to Iran's than to South Korea's. I'm really glad I stocked up on food back before people realized it was going to spread to the rest of the world and I'm really glad I can work from home and I'm really worried for my parents and grandparents

[@benjamingriffith4161]

Smh

[@Tsahalal]

@@chestersnap I feel the same. Our gouvs knew that virus was a real bad and "unknown" shit since the beginning and they only start to order masks now. So far, until the President asked us to stay home (which is not so respected, my people makes me ashamed to be French, not for the 1st time but more than they ever done). In a way I can understand those morons, it's hard to get what is going on as our top meds and politics spent the last 3 months to tell us no panic, it's not worse than a flu, 2 weeks ago a soccer game between Lyon, one of the biggest French city, and a big Italian city was not cancelled, 3.000 Italians fans in that city.... and 4 days ago president said "we are at war" 6 times in a 20mn speech, after what is going on the world will enter a new era, stay home..." That speech was Frightening, sounded like the end of the world. The 180° switch was too quick to get caught by most of them. Well China gave the info to all the top labs in the world from the start, set on quarantine 10 millions people cities, built 2 hospitals in 15 days... For a simple flu? Nasty joke when our gouvs say they did not expect that virus was that bad. It looks like a way to regulate the population instead of making a war. Less pollution, more ressources because too many mouths to feed, we are living on credit on Earth, the year ressources were gone earlier each year, in July now... Plus the economy was not doing good... the best way to make it back on tracks. I'm not into complotiste theories generally, but this time I made my own just by watching what is going on for the last 3 months. If they already had an efficient therapy, waiting for a certain amount of death to say "good news we found the remedy", I wouldn't be surprised... But only my own speculation with no evidence, no one will ever know what happened. We only have to pray for us and our relatives and friends, each day is a bonus... God bless everyone 🙏🏼❤️

So, true. One of the most impt lessons on many retro vids. Youth is wasted on the youth. Ole timey saying that no ‘yutes can understand. Bombaklaat*

[@mftripz8445]

The physics alone is so entertaining to think about, it’s like they have to take on 4 times(about jumping from 5-6 feet) their body weight when on the last quarter of the ramp while balancing on that board. You can also tell that the rear leg takes on MOST of the impact and that’s what kept causing alot of failed attempts, but when they fully complete it its like a 60-40 impact ratio between both rear and front legs

To those of you saying that this is filmed at a hospital and there are ambulances standing by, you are right. Tony Hawk and his friends are taking safety precautions hence the mats.

Thats because he was the 1st person in the world to the loop on a skateboard back in 1997 - Bob Burnquist was the 1st to do it switch and with a gap in the top of the loop, not at the same time.

The trick is to fall with the momentum, you aren't actually standing on the skateboard during the loop, just rotating and falling at an angle so that you land back on it.
