Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert 2023 Mens Finals

[@QuincyKane]

It's insane how much skating has progressed! Vert deserves more love ❤

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

flip tricks on vert nothing new

[@k4pn]

Vert nowadays is nowhere near as popular as it used to be, at all the parks I go to the bowls and pools are hardly used

[@LiltleT]

Its coming back! Hope it gets as big as it once was.

[@darksaga80]

You know when Tony Hawk is laughing at hard the tricks are and these guys are just killing it. The kid doing a 900 OUT OF A LIPSLIDE?!?!?! Insane.

[@QuincyKane]

@Ride Channel Thanks for the pin !🙏

[@kennystwo7873]

This by far is some of the best vert skating I have seen in a while.

[@tolugo87]

Never heard about Moto Shibata before! Damn, this guy is in another time zone!

[@1lisajane1]

Moto absolutely kills it, doing tricks that no one else is touching and blasting them. He should have won.

[@BertoBoyd]

He's a badass!!!

[@singleproppilot]

Moto is my current favorite vert skater. Cool tricks, big air, and inimitable style.

[@nyrbsamoht]

kickflip mctwist!!! he is amazing to watch

[@MikeNoMichael]

He’s from Japan, they live in the tomorrow-verse.

[@stracosh]

Absolute heat! Thanks, Tony!

[@thesmilingvagrants]

Last time I watched a vert contest there was a lot of bailing and struggle to land a single trick. Now these guys are doing tricks back to back like the video game. Very gnarly and super stoked to see it.

[@IamSoEasy47]

You might have been watching a best trick contest not a run contest

[@thesmilingvagrants]

@@IamSoEasy47 ah yes noob alert on my part thank you

[@nicolasdeso1765]

unfortunately california xgames for both males and females in 2023 was nothing but bailing. I mean, i had to try to see it all from their perspective. Maybe, the nervousness or anxiety levels were up? Maybe, the focus or drive wasnt there? Nyjah is a really great sk8r but kinda let me down...

[@Turdfergusen382]

Moto is so sick with it. Even his setup tricks look cool

[@johnanderson1421]

Seemed to me Moto won this easy!

[@StevenTwoTwo]

That kid Gui looks great, absolutely fearless

[@stevo3938]

He’s the future for vert

[@iwikongzilla2942]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VERT SKATING I HAVE EVER SEEN! THIS SHOULD UBER VIRAL! NOT ONLY IS VERT BACK IT SEEMS NOW TO HOLD SIMPLY PUT THE HARDEST AND MOST TECHNICAL TRICKS!

[@howtokdj]

Wow, I am ENJOYING this sport!

[@malcolmroberts6749]

I did not know this was considered a qualifier for the x-games! That's super dope my guy. Thank you Tony for everything you've done and continue to do for the skateboarding community. We all love you brother

[@rahansk8200]

Lots of amplitude, rotation...They're incredible, but I was more impressed by Bob Burnquist's switch runs a long time ago. Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Andy MacDonald, Rune Glifberg were also incredibly technical. Tony Hawk and Danny Way were my heroes when I was a teenager in the early 90s. When I saw them at the time, in reel, doing Mac Twist after Mac Twist, it was incredible, at Le Grand Bornant.

[@28russ]

Bob was a friggin beast!! No one's touched his X games run where he went mode and landing every friggin and then did the mic drop with his board. That shit was a perfect 10!! And ya shoulda put Bucky Lasek on that list too. He was fkn killin it back then.

[@emanuelneumann1733]

Tony Hawk is the greatest skateboarder in the world and of all time /

[@methrecovery6922]

Miss the days of Mathias ringstorm, Bob burnquist, Bucky lasek, and Colin mckay doing tech verrt skating but these new dudes are carrying the torch.

[@episodebeats2817]

Mike Crum, Lincoln Ueda, Mike Frazier, Tas Pappas, Rune Glifberg

[@chasecarter1170]

This is a gnarly contest format. That's just an entire 45 minutes straight of better and better tricks progressively every single person being worthy of competing with the next . Intense and hard to judge!

[@johnpope4023]

Vertical are greatest athletes.

[@1lisajane1]

Cool. But WTF? Why did Moto not win? Ed D. does so many set up airs, his runs are on the edge but the difficulty is not even close, nor the style...

[@johnanderson1421]

Yeah, I love Eddy but Moto won this.

[@Richard-eh9vq]

Street is even worse with judging

[@zhdrums3872]

This competition format is Phenomenal. It allows everyone to be able to show their full potential and pull out damn near Every trick in their bag. Every dude was Insane. Moto, akio, schaar, jimmy, paul luc, damestoy, gui, gomes. The levels skateboarding has reached since my first time starting 22 years ago is mind blowing. Tonys The Goat.

[@alisonphilp7497]

Tony’s era created Al of wat we see here on vert epic era the goat is Tony hawk ❤🇦🇺🙏

[@t6410]

Keeping vert alive. Everyone is killing it

[@julianbrown6805]

35:37 This trick was absolutely nuts. The way he caught it and landed so clean too. Insane.

[@AndresGrillet_sports]

Moto and Gui just solid!

[@ASDPOWER]

Tony crushing it Fuck yeah!!!!!

[@jks1311]

unreal sick ripping shredding vert skating 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jomitoh5111]

I appreciate how healthy Tony is at this far along in his life, he's also active and telling people to do what they want. It's a breath of fresh air in 2024

[@Clarke1982]

This was amazing. I hope vert sees a huge revival. It's incredible to watch.

[@pm2007est]

Tony and Ellis are such a cool sombination. Tony is cool and always on point and Ellis is Hyped and always on Go.

[@BertoBoyd]

Vert is not dead!!!

[@MFBlades]

Moto with the BIG Hosoi vibe...

[@CHRISC-d3h]

you guys are awesome!

[@Dav2112]

Vert is the best, tricks are getting really insane, constantly progressing.

[@WretchedHero]

I am a skater and know skateboarding for years now but I was todays years old I saw a 360 flip compined with a grab trick in a vert the first time. Incredible.

[@spikerzombie]

Keep going Tony just don’t forget falling is a part of skating for everyone🌞

[@Photor]

#3 Gui Khury #2 Jimmy Wilkens #1 Moto Shibata

[@JuanKenobiObi]

dig the lineup/ equal time format for vert. this is fantastic insanity. SO MANY great skaters

[@Balonishell]

The speed and grace is incredible!

[@Indarow]

Dude, even compared to a couple years ago vert skating is on a whole other level.

[@craigshewchuk9018]

Upload the 2023 ladies vert alert please! Much appreciated

[@brianwalkosz9567]

Thank you for everything ALL skateboarders. Thank you T.A. ... I never thought it would turn into PRO WRESTLING! how much money do you think you need? You're ALL SET FOR LIFE

[@johnpope4023]

Really hard to judge , they all so great !!!

[@SKEC212]

I want to see a 540 Rocket air.

[@sterling8298]

Gui is amazing. 🌪

[@Saintmadman]

I think Moto should have won.

[@johnpope4023]

Supernatural athletes 😊

[@SkurkSE]

see you at vertattack boys :)

[@pmstuff8420]

see you there!

[@RichardEBurchSr.]

Awesome skateboarding....Come skate Fireman's Skatepark in Houma,La.

[@KbranczVG]

My screaming while watching Jimmy skate woke up my girlfriend in the middle of the night so thanks a lot XDDDD

[@nyrbsamoht]

34:22 that is the most beautiful bail. I watched it frame by frame a bunch of times. very last moment bail. it looked like he had it but maybe he was pitched too far forward

[@nyrbsamoht]

49:00 sweet jeebus

[@soylentbob6725]

"That kid is back on the escalator!" - Jason Lee (Mallrats). I still love his Video Days part.

[@Jburnz9778]

“i hope his pants get caught and a blood bath ensues!” i love that line hahahah

[@Emulator_Crossing]

Asian really killing it in recent years in extreme sports, they got the lead.

[@Tom_Emody]

I remember in the late 80’s and early 90’s….kids were building half pipes in the back years. Those were good years.

[@zzscapegoatzz7802]

Non stop crazieness. So good

[@emmanuellearibit]

No freaking way Damestoy win this.. Shibata all the way!!!

[@Eastbaydirtjumper]

Sick contest!!!

[@blakeherrmann9784]

Seder crest was a monster ramp that was scary to even be there. Tony mags Pic in thrasher was huge have that issue still. Late.

[@timothytice3074]

big ups to Jason for calling every trick

[@absolutedeath_666]

Vert is a Vibe

[@zhdrums3872]

That Kid is Back on the friggin escalator!!! Goated mallrats reference

[@joshharper1917]

I was a vert button guy most of my life, but it has gotten really wild.

[@cbry_82]

Feels like it's 1999 back again !!!

[@lvup7907]

i wonder if vert will be in the next Olympics

[@alistairclark6814]

I hope not. The Olympics shouldn't benefit from skateboarding in any way shape or form. Keep skateboarding for skateboarding.

[@lvup7907]

@@alistairclark6814 if you got a talent you should share it with the world what is good for skateboarding is good for the skateboarder we could be the biggest coolest thing on the planet but if we keep it to our selves well... the Olympics is just a jump point to bigger things and lets face it vert needs the exposure

[@ajayasiver3944]

Tom Schaar one of my favorite skaters

[@ftrogs1230]

That body varial 9 looked so cool. Holy shit

[@ryanrowe1975]

Legend!

[@turnert2005]

Jimmy Wilkens has that Mike Crum style!

[@CemporcentoDudu]

O vertical deveria ser incluso nas Olimpíadas também .

[@3d3rd]

Tonyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

[@vladimircharous8945]

15min into this contest and my mind has IMPLODED! I N S A N E People who have not been a skateboarder, don't really understand how difficult these tricks are. Lets not call it tricks.. More a Performance Art, like an Olympic sport. ( KEEP VERT PROGRESSING ! ) WHY IS THIS NOT OLYMPIC STANDARDS!!! hmmmm make me think.. Street/Park = happiness finally apricated in the Olympics. Please bring VERT.

[@AcogSlyme]

Moto got that dog in him 🦍

[@88luda88]

Not as epic as the legends runs but this new generation is going places for sure!

[@david-hf4bt]

Magnifique Edi 🤙👍

[@28russ]

How the hell does Gui go so friggin big!!! He's like half the size and weight of the other guys and still goes just as big or bigger. But because he's so small he can spin more and can do 900's that barely clear the coping lol. The kids a freak!!.

[@timhouston4470]

Great to see Jason Ellis representing the skippys

[@Arsonist999]

So rad

[@ZestyKrisps]

I wish there was a jason ellis version for youtube. Hes a great crowd guy

[@stevo3938]

Street will always be number 1, but this is cool too

[@Michael-mo1dg]

I'm going to this in 2024.

[@Michael-mo1dg]

#720noonedoesthem

[@itmightgetdark]

I feel like this was Moto's year....

[@scumbagthe5500]

I would like to see christ airs and wrap'arounds again. Great contest 🤛🏻

[@sterling8298]

Jason Ellis is the perfect announcer for this event.😊

[@pxtixntzero7127]

Moto shibata shoulda won

[@sterling8298]

I think when it comes to extreme sports tricks are. The the sky is the limit. I think there's infinite tricks just like there's infinite space.😊

[@Will-dw8kp]

this was awesome! it's great to see vert staying alive and still progressing. it is crazy that so many wild tricks are landed in a run. the women's jam was crazy too, there's definately an up and coming community of rippers taking it to new levels there as well. only wish there was less color commentary going on, there's just not much room for that during this jam format with constant bangers going on. wish i could of heard jason calling out the tricks in real time with tony and then some of the color commentary from the other guy sprinkled in, but hey that's just my subjective preference. i sitll enjoyed watching the contest!

[@texisthereason]

And they think people like me havent watched vert since the 90s all these tricks were invented then. Its just dependjng who does them and when and how and if they are in a combo set. Damestoy shiabata and gomes are the most tech skaters right now

[@velocity5741]

Moto 🔥

[@jugaloo5873]

Cracks me up!! His over 50's, still broken body, 540's are better than i'll ever do 🤣

[@sparky3713]

I really like Cote on here.

[@trenchgodd6910]

That kid made the 900 look so easy 😂

[@mathewharmer478]

Front side grind to back side air grab in front of the foot hard to choose the best trick

[@jacobhoward4438]

Absolute shred7

[@eastbayheelflipskateboardi4448]

Moto was the winner in my book

[@alainvosselman9960]

Waw... Raiders of the Lost Art..

[@sonny-f4n]

30:29 Delfino no pads, no helmet, no shirt vs chinese Chris Russel

[@stevenbaker436]

Imagine doing a Howard heel to fake on vert.

[@strawbryminiwheats]

Ed was good but I'd have given it to Jimmy or Moto! unreal chops guys

[@joel8034]

Tony hawk reminds me of Mark zookerborg.

[@existenz3883]

who else thought tony is skating?

[@fademusic1980]

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO

[@dylanryan4145]

The crowds are small man. I dont understand? This is the best vert skating in the world and they got like 200 people

[@Jburnz9778]

no video for the women’s event ??

[@pmstuff8420]

up now 👍

[@mathewharmer478]

I can remember the first time a different time a few stunts and a t hawk signutre ok thanks
