Tony Hawk's Vert Alert 2023 Legends Demo.

[@alainvosselman9960]

I would've never EVER guessed that one day full grown men over the age of 45 or 50 would be riding their skateboard with a tear jerking passion, giving it their all and what an all it is ! Just amazing to watch. Mike Frazier really stood out along with Sandro & Bucky. I never payed much attention to Frazier in my days. His style is mind blowing, big, fat and tricky. Skateboarding is just the most beautiful sport in the world. Period.

[@RAAM855]

Age is just a number

[@dallenYT808]

Bucky and Sandro could probably still place in a contest today. They’re still THAT good.

[@thefishingcarpenter]

I'm honored to be able to witness this awesome legends run and to see Tony land his first Mc'Twist since his injury! Nuts dude!!!! You guys are awesome all of you!!!!

[@joestibird]

Let me save you some time 47:38

[@juffurey]

yeah it really is insane you'd think these guys would not have knees anymore.

[@alecklecky]

Sandro killed it! Holy moly. Never seen vert skating like his. So styled!

[@energ8t]

Respect to all these legends! All of them out here beyond their years for the love of it. Thanks Tony for doing this!

[@emanuelneumann1733]

Tony Hawk is a living legend !!!!! ❤

[@TheDeadStretch]

Sandro Dias fucking ripped it!

[@mikolfarley]

30:31 seeing Bucky land that was so nostalgic it brought tears to my eyes... Thank you Tony Jason for putting this together, and to all the greats that were there. #Sk8OrDie 🛹✌️🌲🍄🧘💫👽🛸🌌

[@Tendenciess]

Holy shit

[@sdungworth]

I Love Tony Hawk what a GOAT 👍

[@MRADefeat]

Respect. As a 50 year old vert skater, these guys are killin' it. Sandro is 48 and riding like he's 30. Vert is not easy.

[@MATTMEISTER1]

CHRISTIAN IS N HIS EARLY 50'S

[@MATTMEISTER1]

VERT IS CHALLENGING

[@adamaxton9641]

Awesome seeing Jason Ellis riding!!

[@riisebergmann5185]

The commentators just having a causal convo as Bucky just puts down the most insane line ever is hilarious

[@esaiaswalker8944]

Time stamp?

[@Mark_GL]

30:33

[@tonyboneful]

Yea bro I started blasting music over the idiots and I’m having a bloody good day, that Bucky run was all time

[@jamescorbett5729]

Who the FCUK is Chris Cote?

[@datapusher-]

@@tonyboneful yeah this is just awful with these guys blabbering on

[@vilmoscsontos4054]

I saw Sandro live in Prague in 2006 and my jaw dropped! This dude just got better, by far the best on this demo!

[@corail53]

Surprised not to see Andy Mac and or Bob Burnquist in this. They were pivotal in vert.

[@kevint.5381]

Took my four year old son to the First Huck Jam back in the day. Seeing this instantly made me feel old and young at the same time. Still skating together today. ♥️ thanks to the Core

[@QuincyKane]

Love this!

[@dripcode2600]

This is crazy! Wish I was there live. Everyone is amazingly awesome, but Dias!!! Sandro Dias ...whaaat?!! The entire event.... what a demo!!!! #Bucky #Staab #SandroDias #HawkMcTwist

[@butterknutts5888]

This is amazing, i love that Jason Ellis is hosting and skating

[@jamieredwin2525]

the BEST thing ive seen in ages.. amazing, im gonna watch it again :)

[@buzz5969]

put it on replay..😊

[@dallenYT808]

24:33 Bottom right Amelia Brodka sighting.😁

[@Mark_GL]

Tony had those eyes of the tiger after that bail. The whole thing was awsome ❤

[@unisonproductions123]

Dias and Lasek can still beat the young guys today! Thanks Tony, legend.

[@MrRemmington]

Its such a surreal sight seeing folks in their 50s still skating, vert even, as if age truly is just a number. This is brilliant

[@TheRetroRenegade]

I'm just so happy to see Tony still skating after snapping his leg in half and going through all that recovery not knowing if he was going to have it in him to keep skating like this. Nothing ever seems to stop him!

[@esaiaswalker8944]

I hadn’t realized he was back, thought he was still rehabbing.

[@TheRetroRenegade]

@@esaiaswalker8944 I was wondering if he was still rehabbing too. Maybe he was waiting to make this his big public comeback.

[@ourcore]

Tony's last run made me so happy. Love this event, makes me wanna go to SLC

[@prymitive2899]

THIS IS SO SICK!!!!!!!!!! bring back vert!!!

[@u3192]

Stoopid glorious skateboarding that shaped so many many lifes ❤❤❤❤

[@da80]

wow, Mike Crum is such a legend too. Remember first time I saw him on Transworld Sixth Sense video. It was an amazing part! And of course, shout out to my all time prefered skater, Mr. LIncoln Ueda!!!!

[@megaflux7144]

vert is only like... 1000x cooler than street skating! i feel a bit bummed that bob and rune werent present.

[@AKtoTok]

🙌💙 so sick. Absolutely incredible seeing everyone rip

[@rlb3616]

Sooo sick!! Respect to these legends for charging so hard at their age

[@lucianoarbiza3106]

❤ Powell Peralta Sims New Deal Santa Cruz Power !!!!... 🚨🏆

[@mattlubas4038]

I remember watching Lincoln Ueda he would flyyyy out of the halfpipe higher then the rest in 90s such an amazing Skater!!

[@barry_dalive]

Hosoi and Hawk are two years older than I am, and grew up watching both of them, but today I’m most excited to watch Christian. He’s the style legend

[@SupplementalSense]

I love this! Vert has always been my favorite X Games event growing up in the 90's. Glad that Tony is trying to revive it. Hopefully in the future they can get more guys like Bob, Andy Mac, and Rune.

[@inmofacil6755]

Sandro Diaz espectacular.

[@Sergio.Punk1974]

Sandro Dias "Little Sheep" and Linconl Ueda "flying japanese"... two icons of Brazilian skateboarding. Total respect!

[@victoraraujo5419]

"little sheep"???

[@jasondecorah1227]

The first time I seen Mike Crum was at a NSA contest in Fort Wayne Indiana. He was one of the top Ams in 1990 before he turned pro. The parks name is Sweeney Park. Jason May and Dave Lareaux too!

[@CountryBoysWillSurvive]

I got to see Christian Hosoi and Tony Magnusson in 1987 at Six Flags in St. Louis while on vacation. For 2 13 year old boys from South Louisiana to get to see the guys in the magazines in person. We still talk about it still to this day. Also saw Rodney Mullen that day. But the Bert skating is what it was all about. Hosoi had an impact on us back then. But later on it was Tony Hawk and then I loved the H Street skaters. Matt Hensley and Sal Barbier were my all time favorites.

[@Zildj]

That boom boom huck jam ramp must be pure perfection for it to still be Tonys personal half pipe. Wild.

[@DevRel1]

You can't pick between Tony and Bucky. SO I'm going to have to say I'm most interested in watching Christian Hosoi skate because I have not seen what he can do nowadays. Be it great or whatever. I think that will be interesting.

[@johnadriandodge]

Shalom howdy how Everyone of you skaters are amazing. Skateboarding is not easy and Vert is so much harder. The older we get, the longer it takes for our bodies to recover from the falls we take. These guys are skating like they are in their twenties and thirties. Mad respect Shalom

[@JustWitness]

Sandro is still collecting those frequent flyer miles.

[@Kuehlbert]

just a bunch of people having the time of their life! soo great

[@ladagkudlackova3800]

The best event ever 🖤

[@LoganMcneeseRacing88]

tony all the way hes the reason why i want to skate

[@graboonie_guy]

I knew this was "Tony's half pipe" but I didn't know this was Tony's actual half pipe! That's hilarious 💜💜

[@legitskateclips]

always loved the way McGill inverts something magical about that

[@shortstorieswithrjmc8294]

yeah Kevin rocking the OG Soundgarden TShirt that louder than love is legit!! YEW!

[@GorillaBiscuitz]

All of them. It's amazing.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Long live Tony hawk and all these people

[@rkulla]

So fun to watch these legends still going in

[@oscarmondragon1543]

The look in Tony's eyes through this whole thing is things of legends, now I get why Mike Tyson loves him too. Those eyes said "Fuck you, Fuck me, Fuck this Mic. This BOARD is gonna spin, This BOARD IS gonna fly, These shoes are staying over the bolts. And IIII'M gonna make it happen " dude was starving for some tricks. Passion straight blazing

[@xitsox]

You people are amazing!

[@HitMarkersAreFun]

wow, haven't seen Mike Crum in many years, last time I skated with him (and Jon Comer) was back when the old Jeff Philips skatepark was still around(was after his time and owned by someone else), crazy thing is, we have the same b-day! haha, i'm 3 years older htan him and I still live in the DFW area too, good times!

[@ostias]

this show it that thing you have to watch at least one time in life.

[@joepowers3731]

Mike McGill and Myself built his half-pipe With 10 ft traditions 2 ft of vert and 8 ft of flat back in the late 79 or 80 . Hard to remember at 60 yrs.

[@txtpeer5179]

Knowing thse 50s yo dude still going hard 100 % inspired mo to skate like a savage again

[@Schoolshorts456]

Tony hawk will always be my hero no matter what.

[@mikeflip79]

I don't know how I keep forgetting how good Lincoln Ueda is but he's so fun to watch. Best alley oop in the sport

[@ryanrowe1975]

The greatest skateboarding event!

[@agomodern]

I hope I get to see some of these guys at Banger in The Hangar in Houston, TX November 2023.

[@fissshh]

My man Sandro can still compete. His air is still insane !

[@ИванПетров-м1в2ж]

Респект этим парням, они легенды!!!

[@CollinGill7]

without Tony Hawk skateboarding would not be what it is today, hes a great spokesperson for our silly little hobby

[@dallenYT808]

💯

[@TarenGibson]

TDG #1 FULLSUPPORT EVERYTHING TONY HAWK 🛹 GOD THE 🐐 OF ALL TIME FOREVER AND ALWAYS BIG FAX

[@megaflux7144]

sandro with those christ airs.. wow.

[@ihor.byrdin]

THANK YOU SO F+++ING MUCH😍

[@mikekomin1772]

got to see tony do a demo in like 2004 and it blew my mind

[@telefunkenyou47]

Now I could see myself sporting some Depends “Christian Hosoi” Incontinence Overwear!

[@TheAnimeist]

The McTwist was incredible, but how about those front side tricks across the gap? It took me two days to watch this video, and it made me late for work. Worth it.

[@johnny1tap]

That bucky 540 over the channel looked skeeeetch i was like omg he's goin in

[@crazycracker11dude]

"I make big money, I drive big cars. Everybody knows Mike Crum!! It's like he's a superstar" -Mike Crum

[@wanttebing1253]

The best legends

[@CollinGill7]

tony getting a tattoo under where his elbow pad goes right before a comp is kinda gnarly

[@gleysonricardovieira4575]

so veterano abencoado na cena..vida longa

[@juffurey]

legit. Thanks for the upload! Only person I wish I could see is Caballero.

[@esaiaswalker8944]

Great watch!!

[@YouLikeBosch]

Damn I didn't know Chris Cote commentated on skating. I know him from Kut U Up. Great band.

[@pammcwhorter877]

Hey Tony, where is the eight foot tombstone? Remember the big ramp off of I95. Looking at that ramp, you do. When you were a teenager.

[@28russ]

Saw Bucky skate live at the X games like 25 years ago on a ramp this high. The TV really doesn't do the ramp justice. They look fkn huge IRL. I've dropped in on some 10 footers and that was scary enough. I'd shit my pants just standing on the coping let alone dropping in on something this size.💩😂

[@BenSchubert1995]

Definitely Tony Hawk. The guy that made the 900 a household name.

[@eltonppsktr]

Ver todos estes monstros juntos é emocionante.

[@robertsmoker6655]

this is sooooo sick !

[@mikemulrooney4574]

Fuck yeah🤘🏻shout out to my favorite Buck yeah🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻sick demo

[@adamsvette]

I would love to ride that ramp. Hey tony. Take some of that "build skateparks around the county" money and build a few vert ramps so kids can have more access to this stuff.

[@kilhattrick]

Paul Zitzer. I first saw on SK8 TV home viewer video 1990.

[@ERICF66]

30:30 Bucky is STILL the MAN!! 🛹👍🏽🔥😁👊🏽

[@TheHiddenBlade2024]

The history of Skateboarding in one event!!!!!

[@kyles6813]

minus Rodney Mullen!

[@moshevieira9010]

alucinante surreal. Hug

[@buzz5969]

Only problem is I bet youd be hard pressed to find a vert ramp anywhere these days, unlike the 80s when bowls and verts were everywhere, todays skate parks are just mostly rails to grind, not much vert at all, kick flips and grinds. Times indeed change and we all know we can’t turn back time no matter how hard we wish or try.✌🏻

[@vojtechmalinaarchitect]

Amazing event.

[@robertjohnson9756]

Bucky will always represent Baltimore to me

[@bigbuckjoe3]

Yeah, I grew up here in Salt Lake City me and my buddies build a half pipe in my buddies backyard 16 foot wide 10 foot flat bottom 8 foot transition 1 foot of vertical We got the extractions how to build it out of the thrasher magazine believe it was around 84

[@vincentpool9065]

Mike McGill looks like Hugh Hefner especially with his helmet on.. Vin68Man

[@deadbeat-vc9kg]

I'm so stoked that skateboarding is finally getting some respect. When I started in 1986, I was considered a vagrant nuisance and spent way more time than anyone should have to being bounced by police, business owners, school officials, government lame-o's and everyone else who didn't get it. I was already riding to escape a crappy home and could find nowhere to go where I was accepted. Other skaters were my family and the only people who showed me love. Skateboarding was, and is again at 46, the only time I feel truly free. No matter your appearance, background, financial status, progression level or preferred skate style or discipline, you have a home with skateboarders.

[@Mikesonbikes]

I"m here for Hosoi!

[@chrishendricks4613]

I wish Hosoi could bust a huge 540 like in 88. He has the best Mctwist in the game.

[@abcdefhgty]

I would have preferred to have the Jason Ellis announcing over these two dudes

[@getemkell]

LETS GOO TONY!! you did dat shit n jason screamin made it better Lol
