Finals & Best Trick - Tony Hawk's Vert Alert 2023: Road to X Games

[@ryans2118]

Im 45 and tony hawk was my hero when i started in my childhood. And for him to still keep hitting vert! No other xtreme sport star still doing it into their 50's. Hes the man.

[@maattttt07]

Kelly Slater is still on the World tour of Surfing. He's 51

[@ryans2118]

@@maattttt07 shame on me. Yeah slater is still shredding it too. I think tony could easily surf. Im not sure slater could do a mctwist on the vert ramp though?

[@graxjpg]

@@ryans2118tonys brother is a very accomplished surfer too still doing it in his 50s

[@maattttt07]

@ryans2118 Yes Slater is not a skater. I'm not sure Tony could still win a professional contest against the new generation of skaters though. Kelly Slater won the Pipe masters last year! Kelly is the Goat of all sports. Through 3-4 generations he has stayed on championship tour. Unparalleled Tony a legend too obviously but he's been out of the game at the highest level for a long time

[@charleslowe570]

hida mann and he a mann, nodda womann ;)

[@SpiderMax95]

every contest i see i cant help but being amazed by the level of progression women's skating is experiencing right now. also, japan is just killing it!

[@PatHannan-j5y]

Wow what did I just watch , stand up applause salute , I've been skating along time now 39 years ,and to see how far it's come , it's amazing , skateboarding the most technical sport in the world , and you never get use to the slams , so skating is the only thing Il let hurt me over and over again , salute to the new generation so gifted and fearless ,

[@markmckinney7920]

Good lord! The level of skating was insane. So rad.

[@superdad942]

woman's finals... absolutely SICK. best sports good vibe I've ever had! girls are KILLING IT

[@iLLDiSScrafts]

it's like going to a techno rave. dancing / skating ... nothing else matters. not a single other thing! such a great comfy content

[@Ink_25]

Awesome event, loved to watch it. Looking forward to X Games! Thanks to everyone making this possible and congrats to all the finalists!

[@bkohler89]

the height that these young kids are getting flying in the air on that halfpipe is insane!!! every one of them were killing it!

[@CyphroH6ll]

This was totaly epic. 38 and back on my boards and back building boards thanks to watching the build up to this. 🤯🤪🤯🤙🤙

[@y_not]

That was awesome! The build up with the race to 1st women's 720 and Jason's reaction when Arisa got it!

[@Tear777]

Such amazing skateboarding took place here! Wow! Thank you!!!

[@gilesdavis4678]

'ohhh... that's the biggest olllie 5 _you'll_ ever see.' Gotta love Tony's commentary 😂

[@jetblackjake8510]

Such a sick event, the level of vert skating is all time! Love it!!!

[@JennyverseLive]

I'm definitely up for a version of this where they draw tricks out of a hat! (And would also love a Vert Alert jersey)

[@nickhunsaker3810]

Nice to see Moto get first in best trick that was insane. He is so good I thought he should have won the last few competitions I watched honestly

[@PolarisCastillo]

2:31:58 I can't believe the camera missed the first female 720 lol

[@stevekeeves9363]

Love all of this great skating, watching at work on quiet days

[@Hinglemcringleberrys]

Seeing my heroes again is always cool. Hosoi, hawk, McGill, Staab. 🤘🏻

[@R.J.1]

Go Ladies! Absolutely outstanding!

[@adityatyagi4009]

Absolutely amazing. I particularly enjoyed Tony Hawk's expert commentary on the tricks in real time!

[@spigetts]

I can't even!!! So Good!! such an awesome event..Thank you From SLC❤

[@RandyWRodrifuez]

man, love to see the skate world going so strong, what a group of such amazing humans

[@natty_christ]

The girls have an insane amount of creativity. I can't get over it.

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

There have been contests that were the greatest ever seen. This surpassed everything, Legends jam, Ladies🤗, Mens🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Utterly superb.

[@LotkaVolterra]

Wow, I swear Reese skates like Bob Burnquist in a little girl's body. Just fearlessly chaining no-grab and technical lip tricks. Spins and grabs get the crowd going, but it's these tricks I love to see.

[@y_not]

That dude running back up the ramp was almost a trick in itself, impressive!

[@indiasuaujunca]

that run by Tom was so sick!!!! and Reese!

[@user-pw7xy2sm8i]

Go Bryce! Love all the crazy dancing she does on the coping! This comp made me realise just how boring park and street is to watch. Long live vert!

[@TheAnimeist]

Jason Ellis is correct. These are some of the greatest athletes out there. Not too many are willing to put it out there like skaters. edit : Bull riding may be close.

[@travispowell7835]

Or freestyle motox, doing triple backflips and Misty flips 80 ft in the air on a 250 lb dirt bike

[@Verlisify]

A casual 900 mid run is unfathomable

[@BahliPadma]

Witnessing the next generation tear up the place in glorious style; some of the best women's vert I've ever seen. Excellent! Can't wait to see where they all go next. 🛹

[@pleaseobeyjesus5831]

I have never seen women skate vert before, I am amazed 100%!

[@pleaseobeyjesus5831]

The switch backside 360 at 32:37 for example...amazing level!

[@Andersonsantos-vg5nq]

Awsm event is pretty to see female skater doing 1st 720 now i hope to see them doing a 900 soon, male skate was amazing i love to see Gui Khury doing a lot of 900 variatons, happy to see Mr. Tony Hawk landing a Mc twist like a 9 🙌🛹🤘😎

[@DarthVaidan]

Really enjoyed watching the women! They are doing some great things

[@chrishendricks4613]

As a skater from the 80s I cant believe the level of skating now..Moto skates like Hosoi for sure.

[@williamRE]

"What does a 10 year old do with 400 dollars?" "Put it in their little pocket!" 😄

[@katiepatrick425]

2:31:52 first women's 720!!

[@4THALSTME]

Vert is mental! Vert Alert!!!

[@geoh96]

Those girls must have some of the most proudest fathers. Wow, the next generation look like they've been skating vert since nappies 😅

[@iwikongzilla2942]

vert skating is the greatest show on planet earth!

[@y_not]

Nice one Utah! I reckon we see full stands in a few years

[@GHOST__BRAIN]

1:27:25 jimmy wilkins you are fking insane lol one of my faveriot skaters ever since u started doing no grab 540s

[@GHOST__BRAIN]

1:42:04 gi kurry does 720 to accidental backwards coffin

[@allanmaciel]

Moto deserved first place!

[@TheNewDrew]

Nosegrind fakie was my favorite. These commentators don't mention the dopeness of these tricks enough. Lot of unique lip tricks

[@gregoryisawsome]

nose nollie flip in is fire

[@ewignichjesehn]

fantastic event for everyone! keep up the good work.

[@domjax]

An other sick video ! You guys need to to look up / to the end like on a slackline definitely gives you a better / faster ability to react to any movement.

[@906iphone]

Never seen so many ads on a video in my life xgames must really really want to take everyone's money

[@iMaatz]

First: Moto Shibata Second: Gui Khuri Opinion

[@StanVasilchuk]

I have a feeling Mitchie Brusco will land that 900 at the Xgames in July!

[@GAJ1968]

Tony is The GOAT

[@y_not]

Yeah Arisa, you legend!!

[@lonkbadonk3195]

Tony be like "I did this to keep vert alive". Well we need more vert ramps to keep it alive, so that not just californians can skate vert 😂. Would love to see a Utah skater make finals one day

[@y_not]

Bucky is insane!

[@Tastewithnewdrinks]

Awesome😍

[@Tom_Emody]

All these girls are shredding hard!

[@prairietan]

Would have loved to seen a sack tap from someone!

[@Mocroskate]

2:52:21 Absolutely mental

[@drewarmstrong1245]

Drew from Olympia WA ....what is the average deck size that the skaters overall use for vert and is there any size or specifications that are not allowed?

[@HitnRunTony]

1:31:04 Love the Mallrats quote 😂

[@mav3818]

1:57:25 Jimmy Wilkins has ally-oop ollies like no one ever.... style forever

[@CadolfWasHere]

got this vid muted with the tony hawk proskater 1+2 soundtrack playing full blast in the background youre welcome.

[@webjay1]

Can someone please explain to me the decline of vert. It's the best way to skate and has been for over 40 years. I would way rather watch an amazing vert line than some street dude try the same trick 100 times until he makes it.

[@JennyverseLive]

This!!

[@qwertpoiuy430]

expression and style are much more easily picked up on street tricks. Very for newcomers can look extremely similar

[@markm148]

Street has been a downer for me since it became rolling freestyle in the early 90’s. Yes, a grumpy old guy comment.

[@andrewnagavelli1215]

20+ years of vert ramps not being built

[@sterling8298]

Back in the day, I used to ride forty-four millimeter wheels whenever I would longboard.😊

[@holgerl.9666]

BIG UP ARISA

[@dubdefense2029]

for gods sake please have the announcer learn the skaters names

[@quebecpower978]

YO MOTO GOT ROBBED AGAIN 🤯

[@diniaceleste5892]

He was the only one to get the highest air in the whole contest

[@blender1188]

You know better then Ueda and Frazier?

[@quebecpower978]

@@blender1188 YES. 1:27:57 and 1:37:11

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

Yes he did.

[@1TruthIslam4uSunniSalefSaleh]

Your comment became a spoiler comment for me i haven't watched all finals yet but because your comment are top comment it is there below video even when not having comment section open : / : | , but yeah i know your probably didn't expect your comment to become number one comment and had not thought that it then might become kind of a spoiler comment,

[@guypinheiro.oficial]

1:22:02 20 years ago if someone did a 900° he already be the champion

[@williamRE]

Can't believe you guys dropped the ball on the 720

[@Caannnnoonn]

It blows my mind how young some of the girls are to be killing it at this level of competition.

[@richardhiatt3420]

So good too see

[@luisjpichardo3138]

this is cool

[@detgoat]

i was feeling like a lil b!tch for tearing up after seeing tony make that 540 mctwist... luv sk8boarding, street - vert -park - etc

[@allanmaciel]

Bring back high air competition

[@itsjustme2172]

what are the dimensions of tony's ramp?

[@benninger123]

I think the young 14 year old deserved to be in the top 3 .

[@sterling8298]

Years ago, in the early days The Xgames I always wondered why there weren't more females in the sports. I'd always figured they could learn to do any trick a guy can do.😊 Now fast forward to the present time and there are a lot of females in the sport and they too are pushing the boundaries of skateboarding. 😊

[@sterling8298]

I remember the boom boom huck james.😊

[@luisjesuspichardofuentes5639]

can you get skatelite griptape ?

[@luisjpichardo3138]

tony hawk #1

[@y_not]

Motoooooo!!!

[@doctorworm3735]

Haven't seen it yet, but I predict women's best trick is a roll in, a mctwist, or some kind of basic plant.

[@arianahernandez-ey5cv]

Great video panza guessing 2220 pieces of tape on that car for that bike man.

[@PolarisCastillo]

It's crazy to me that the commentators are so close to the action but their backs are completely turned to watch it all on a monitor lol

[@wholibah]

1:22:44 almost dropped da eff bomb

[@dank5015]

These judges just hate Gui Kurry. They shouldn't judge another thing. If judges had done this to Tony Hawk nobody would know who he is today.

[@natty_christ]

I think they look at his spinning like he's a one trick pony... which is dumb. No one in the world can do what he's doing. He's young though. He'll show them.

[@Valeriagn12]

Por qué no dieron esto en la televisión latina 😡

Reeeeeese from Canada

People are giving way too much credit for those bullshit below coping 720 attempts. Despite that slight nuisance this was a great watch and I'm really starting to get into vert.

Sky Brown did a 720 out of the snake run in venice a few years ago. But a first 720 in competition? Sure.

[@karnpanyadilok8682]

Good healthy childhood uses gliding on board

[@scanmusik4660]

so bad that the names are not under each run.

[@Runduchess]

Moto robbed, super inspiring that Mitchie believes he can Kickflip 9 and Arisa killed it all together most impressive performance,

[@y_not]

Jason! You can't state your favourite as you're MCing an event! Lol
