“I’m Tony Hawk, pro skater” Yo dude you don’t have to introduce yourself twice.
That's what I thought!
It's like, does he not know how legendary he is? My father probably knows he's a pro skater!
Hes a game??
His sponsors own him. He has to make it clear that he's mutual with them.
@@GiovanaSimmer Most people don't think of themselves as highly as others do.
@@soup5344 I wasn't criticizing him. I thought it was cute that he seemed so humble.
As a child, Tony was supremely cool to me. As an adult, that has not changed at all
Same with me haha
Birdman's such a nice guy.
He is cool
He even looks the same
Yeah man hes a legend
As a person who has trouble walking and chewing gum simultaneously, the things that skaters are able to accomplish are nothing short of amazing.
Agreed. They are basically like acrobats on wooden boards
Me as well. I can stumble and fall just walking on a flat surface with nothing in my way. haha
People who can skateboard and do the tricks they do are incredibly talented athletes. I admire those who can do what they do.
"trouble walking and chewing gum simultaneously" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that was funny, that walking while chewing gum thing 😆😆😆
im not pro level but ive got some moves and trust me, even we can have trouble just walking sometimes. the amount of times times ive tripped just *standing still* is wild.
“Tony, what do you think of the skateboarding in this movie?” Tony: “So this was me doubling for …..”
Me having played a handful of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games in my childhood: "I know some of these words"
Is that a Good Burger reference? XD
themrqwertymark. Same. I have heard these words. No idea what they mean.
There's a remastered version coming out soon of THPS 1&2
Dude, for real lol
Defo is this info about remasters legit?
imagine having tony hawk say your editing was bad, that would be my lowest moment
most of the editing *is* bad. anyone who skateboards and is familiar with tricks could easily spot the continuity errors, trick selection and questionable camera angles. this is a running trend in hollywood whenever they are depicting anything like skating, surfing, snowboarding, car racing, etc. they either dont have the budget,care, or knowledge to look for someone that would know what they are doing regarding that particular activity. Lords of Dogtown is probably the only movie to be somewhat true to skating. also cant forget mid90's, that one is a pretty grounded take on skating.
It's too expensive to pay for someone just to tell you how the skating scenes look when most people won't even notice the errors. Sometimes you just need a close up shot or a far away shot to cut to in order to keep a scene going. It doesn't have to entirely match when it's on screen for a second or less (just look at the glaring differences of the board in Back to the Future). Unless you're a skate boarder professionally, and looking for it, you won't even notice. There's a margin for acceptable error in film making as much as everything else.
When it comes to something only a professional in a field would notice it's not really bad editing if no one else would notice. That's how movies like, say, Outbreak get made. Regular movie goers don't know or care if the way they discover a virus and how they discern that it's mutated is silly... they don't notice or even most of the time care if that's legitimate. I would argue they don't need to unless the movie is very specifically trying to be accurate. Then and only then it matters. Otherwise we should know it's a fantasy and there's no reason to get worked up about it. As long as the fantasy follows it's own rules it's generally fine. The people in the know will know, and maybe this ruins it for them, but... I mean they've never made hacking look like real hacking in movies so... I guess it's just an honor to even be acknowledged that it's a thing. Even if people who don't actually know anything about computers (most people) don't actually seem to know what hacking really is and they think movie hacking is real.
That's fine, the movie was not made for people like Tony Hawk; skaters. It's meant for the general public who knows almost nothing about skating. You'll see this in any profession a movie tries to imitate.
I just imagined it..now what?
@@LINKKART8 Now imagine you feeling disappointed with yourself.
I want Tony to react to an extremely goofy movie… I know it’s an animated movie but a lot of the skating looks solid
I’d watch that
I would honestly watch Tony hawk reacting to the entirety of the goofy movie. Is it weird to watch a grown man, watch an entire movie? Little bit. Still be entertaining.
Or even Disney's Tarzan. There's some sequences that seemed to be inspired by skateboarding.
@@aaronself2411 not really. There’s parallel plots and one is for a single father in his 30-40s trying to connect to his teenager. That’s a adult story
Even though I'm not particularly interested in skateboarding I still enjoyed listening to a master talk about his craft.
You should check out Rodney Mullen’s Ted Talk. One of my favorite skaters and listening to him talk about skating is really enjoyable, it’s really easy to tell how much he just loves doing it.
Tony: Hi everyone I'm Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Me: Huh that was his actual full name the whole time...
Jared Vadasy Underrated comment.
Jared Vadasy yeah the game was just named after him lol
Dude you just made me belly laugh.
Nah, he just likes to introduce himself twice.
666th like
Me : that trick looked so cool
Tony: that was such a lame edit
Me: ikr
Lmao.
😂😂
😂😂 hilarious!!
you stole that entire comment
Ronnie Brown does it even matter? Lol
My respect for Tony Hawks just grew. His dissecting of the skating was clear and precise and enabled a nonskater like me to understand the whole process. Loved this video.
A sign that you truly mastered your craft is when you can make those with zero experience or knowledge understand. Being in finance myself, this is a challenge at times, I fully appreciate how well he communicated his breakdown.
You were suprised Tony Hawk could break down skating? He's Tony Hawk?
I adore how much respect he has for his fellow skaters.
the first 10 minutes is tony hawk calling out bad editing and I love it
I have friends that I skated with that spent as much time filming and editing as they did skating.
I love how other breakdowns are like "pro chef" or "professional hunter" and this is just Tony Hawk
Well I think thats basically synonymous
to "pro skater"...
Comment needs more likes.
He's what Kleenex is to skating
@Ryan Lewis LoL dude. Chill. Have a like, free of charge.👍
@Ryan Lewis have another like. Your popularity is growing now
I get that Grind gets hated on because it's cringe now but it was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was a huge inspiration to try skating. The music was also great for the time.
I with you 100p
Grind es la mejor película de skate, tony hawk no sabe de lo que habla
Wasn't a fan of the movie but the skating is amazing Imo.
What's really crazy about Tony is for his 50th B-day he did a video with 50 different vert ramp tricks in it, Unreal he is still at it too.
Im still wondering how he’s 50 years old and still sounds like a teenager.
Tony hawk looks like the aged embodiment of the word radical
@@Donikin 👏👏👏
Because he goes out to play every day of his life. Living the dream!
Hes the oldest teenager ever. Sometimes it makes me think of those "hows it going fellow kids" things.
John Carmack syndrome. We try not to talk about it.
Most of these are the professional saying looks real, fake etc
Tony "I know him"
"He's real"
"That's actually me"
Loved this about the video. I think he knew every stunt double in the movie
Most of the professionals aren't in the movie clips they're commenting on.
I have no idea what you just said. My brain actually hurts trying to read that🤣
I imagine it's easier and cheaper to just hire skaters than cgi them in or something
yay hey man...
When he said "Hi, I'm Tony Hawk, pro skater," it sent tears down my eyes
I get the same feeling listening to Tony Hawk as i do listening to Michael Schumacher.
Legends
kid falls down face-first...
Tony: "That was pretty legit right there"
LOL
Van V 😭😭 same way how I was
Falling on your face is a right of passage in skateboarding.. Oh and the rail slip to groin smash 180 lol.
@@dankmheems290 That's the worst part; you know it's going to happen to you, you KNOW it's going to happen - but you have absolutely no idea when it's going to happen, but you know that first one is coming
As they say in the cycle world - "there's two types of riders: those who have gone down, and those who..."
It’s really cool that his parents named him after a video game! That’s why he’s such a pro skater!
I see the sarcasm in your comment lol 😂😂😂
Oh I get it that was a Tony Hawk Pro Skater joke because the games
@@vertigo3261 I though his name is Mr Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Random Ryan fun fact. His middle name is actually pro skater. Not last.
Ah ha man...
grind was such a underrated movie. still one of my all time favorite movies.
Back to the future is what got me in to skating in 1985. My first board was the Tony Hawk Pink Chicken Skull. I always wanted the JFA board too, but never got it! This video made me happy and nostalgic. Thanks 🙏
As a non-skater, I thoroughly enjoyed this video of a man politely speaking a foreign language.
As a guy who just got into skating, it really does seem like a real language, it feels the same as a real language
Still trying to figure out how we all know who Tony Hawk is without being into skateboarding at all
EVERYONE played Tony Hawks Pro Skater.
So true! I am not a skateboarder at all, but I still know who he is and that he's a legend. Don't know why but I really like watching his videos.
@@williammaurice7206 Well he's contributed a lot to skateboarding. Someone's gotta be the poster child anyway.
A bunch of dudes about 30 are giving you spill off culture. He was super popular in the 90s.
IRON MAN?
Grind was the singular movie that got me and a bunch of friends into skating, truly a cult classic.
Great break down video! I love how specific Tony Hawk gets. Would love to see a version of this for roller skating and roller blading in movies!
First name: Tony Hawk. Last name: Pro Skater.
lol
Oh.. I thought his last name was Underground.
So Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is his son?
Lat3ksi right haha
@@BS23Designs Nah that's his often ignored younger son lol.
Doctor: "So Miss Pro Skater what will you name your son?"
Mom: "...Tony Hawk"
This is very underrated comment :D
AHAHAH
Chose his last name and everything
His real name is Anthony
"Mr. Pro Skater was my father!"
Gleaming The Cube is hands down my favorite skateboarding movie, loved it ever since I was a kid, and being a huge fan of the Bones / Powell Peralta crew back then, made the film even better, still got my VHS copy to this day, McGill and Mullan were incredible in that film, and seeing Tony Hawk drive the Pizza Hut truck still cracks me up.
Watching with your best friends at the movies live and in person then Thrashin' all night long quoting the movie.
I love how legitimately he took the Scott Pilgrim scene, like all of his criticisms were the point lol. If anything that’s reassuring that Tony hawk was like “literally everything about this is almost impossible”
I don't think he realised that the entire movie is shot to look like a video game. So this scene was shot to resemble the popular skating video games... his videogame. Tony you are the reason this scene looks like this.
I wonder if he was made aware that the Lucas Lee character is based on Jason Lee.
Tony Hawk almost always talks about the youth and what keeps them interested in skateboarding. He is a herald of his craft. Much respect.
He appeared outta nowhere at the smallest skate park you could think of here in Belfast, where my son was skating and rode a few ramps,posed for photos, gave advice and was generally awesome
And got famous by screwing over the Tapas brothers who were landing 900s before him yet he used his influence to stop them entering that particular x games event. There's a doco on it. Really shows Tony to be nothing more than a greedy businessman
@@FriendOfN0ne everyone makes mistakes though, I can guarantee you he would regret doing that nowadays
Dude's a millionaire and he stunt doubled will ferrell just because. Legit legend right here.
And got injured and got a scar xD
More importantly he was in Gleaming the Cube, probably the first skateboard movie at least that I know of.
Also showed up on the Eric Andre Show just to destroy the set: ua-cam.com/video/WVtP_YEkEVQ/v-deo.html
@@scottnewsham2496 What about The Search For Animal Chin?
@@bland2467 honestly never heard of it, had look it up just now. 😁
I love Tony Hawks praise of Mullen. He was my favorite skater in all of Tony Hawks games haha. I can't remember which Tony Hawk game it was. Early Playstation 2, they had stunt videos you could unlock of skaters. That's when he became my favorite. All the videos were just getting air, the basic tricks, then the magic Mullen pulled on flat ground, still rarely if ever see that stuff now, it was incredible.
Tony Hawk is actually who got me into skating in the first place. It's very nice to see despite all money and the fame he still is such a Humble and Down to earth guy 😌👏👏👌👌🤘
I Love that he's just like... "i would hope that would be a disqualification... i don't know". Like skateboarding has so few rules that Tony Hawk has never even had to think about it.
I think he was more saying it because it just doesn't happen. As he even says it doesn't happen lol Its hard to have a rule for something that doesn't happen.
I think the only real rule skateboarding has is don't harsh another's skaters run?
I love how Tony Hawk always takes the time to really explain skateboarding as clearly and as informatively as possible. You can see how his videos are always longer than other breakdowns, and he is always enthusiastic about what he does, and what other skateboarders do. It's fantastic, and I love him for it.
He has a passion for the sport and loves to share that with others. And he's at an age where teaching is natural because he (we at this age) love to share what we've learned to others.
Tony Hawk still has passion in his voice, when he talks about skating, even after making me into skating 20 years ago, hahaha 😝!
Because video games ✌️😋 lol!
man in 5th grade i was at the peak of my skateboarding obsession and i idoled tony, even did a whole report on him for school when we had to pick the biography book of someone we admired and write a report and i chose his (i dont remember the title). played his video games all day too. hes still one of the coolest guys ever i love listening to him talk abt skating
i still have my birdhouse board and everything!
I love how basically everyone knows him whether they like skating or not.
I thought he was a world renowned ornithologist.
@@AngryJT I thought he was a well known video editor
So he's not a Scientologist?
Tony hawk is only in video games. He is not a real person he is fictional
I don’t watch skateboarding or play the video games and I know him. Somehow I’m watching this even though I have zero interest in it. I guess the skill level and tricks captured my interest.
*"Yeah, he just did a 1080 Ultra Death Twisty McGee Jesus Air Deluxe there."*
90% of skate tricks sound like names made up by an improv comedy troupe.
A Christ Air is an actual trick
RectalDiscourse a fine maneuver
Time stamp?
@RectalDiscourse I did that trick first try! I think I'm a natural
lol I love how technical and comprehensive Tony is. I wish there were more of these with him.
I love how instead of titling it “skateboarding expert” or “skateboard pro” they just said Tony Hawk. Mad respect.
I'm starting to suspect that Tony Hawk might know a few things about skating
Big if true
Don’t diss the 🐐
Yeah, he really seems to know his stuff. I'd totally play a game where we follow his antics
He even has the same name as those old games. It's like he was made for it.
Also cammy is godlike in sf5
But what about the skating in “An extremely Goofy movie”
lets do it to it bro
Yesssss
I know one thing I find interesting is that they make Max have a regular stance when he drops in, but then later when he skates back to help instead of finishing the race he's goofy foot and then he stays goofy foot for finishing the race.
@@diamondflaw well it is a "goofy movie" right?
@@diamondflaw that's a be yourself kind of thing is the fact that its called goofy stance a plot point of that flick?
I remember watching Back to the Future and thinking about how cool it would be to go back in time and show off something cool like skateboarding. It's neat that this film helped inspire so many people, including yourself.
Thanks for your review and insights! Thanks for also sharing some of the films you stared in. I'll have to check them out. 😊👍
Did Back to the Future really inspire that many people to start skateboarding? The skateboarding scenes are like 1 percent of the movie.
One of the best times for me was street skate boarding with friends and my cousin. So grateful to experience it.
The board sticks to Spiderman's feet because he's Spiderman, c'mon Tony!
I kept saying this to myself too, let's just say that was the filmmaker's intention haha.
Idk the guy is still wearing shoes 🤷♂️
@@swaggypea3866 his abilty goes throug different materirals
i was about to comment the same thing
I was screaming this to the screen the entire time lol
"I actually know the stunt man who did that, William Spencer." I dont know why that's just so funny to me, like he's legit just so involved in all that is skate, he knows everybody.
He's basically the elder statesman of the sport, now. A sport that wasn't even considered a sport (just a fringe hobby) when he started doing it as a teenager. That's gotta make him feel pretty good.
he didn't even mention that Per Welinder did some of the stunts in back to the future and he created Birdhouse Skateboards with that guy. so literally he did know every one of em Lol
I grew up trying to skate in the early 90s and he is so right. We had to go out and search for spots to skate, and then hope we didn't get chased or arrested. I amazes me at all the different places we would skate
Wish he would have broken down Lords of Dogtown. Definitely one of my favorite skate movies and is based on the lives of some real skateboarding legends (Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva).
Don’t forget Jay Adams
He broke that down WAY more than I wan expecting.
They got THE expert. And it's nice to see his enthusiasm.
Seriously! I learned so much about different grips!
It appears David Roberts can't ollie.
i was expecting PR mumbo jumbo but he seemed real and matter of fact. Love it
"If you're asked to stunt-double Will Ferrell, whatever price they offer you, take it."
Tony Hawk is a cool, true person. His coolness would have made anything he did cool, because he has such a passion and respect for it.
I have so much respect for Tony. Really made my childhood!
Tony: 'What's up everybody, I'm Tony Hawk, "Pro Skater..."'
Me: He said the thing!
1+2
lol
Oh, saying the thing is tight!
@@dusathemaid it must have been really difficult to land all those tricks.
@@dusathemaid wowowow...wow......wow.
It's pretty cool that he can recognize other stuntmen just by their feet or their signature tricks.
Feet fetish right there😂
Bucky isn't a stuntman. He's a legit skater
Several of the people he mentioned were his teammates for a while, he knows them well
@@kevinpiacente3456 functioning as the stuntman for an actor in a movie. Yeah.
@@kevinpiacente3456 and Rodney Mullen has the most distinct skating style possible. The dude can do like a thousand tricks nobody on else on Earth could do lol. I've never skated in my life and immediately knew that was him.
This was so freakin' cool! Great commentary by the legend himself, Tony Hawk (Pro Skater - I love how he introduced himself like that!) who was basically front and center in a chapter in history. Then to see him make commentary on movies depicting that history... so freakin' cool!
Respect to Tony
He's cool!
He's the reason I started skating.
A definitive Pro Skater 👍
I like how he's talking about budgets, actors and editing lol
Pro skater / film production enthusiast - Tony 🤘🏻
I know this is an older comment but yes!
*Tony Hawk just dropping name of tricks left and right *
Me: uh huh, uh huh, right, of course! *not understanding anything or what they mean but enjoying his explanation and passion for the sport!*
🤣😂😁👍
Yes that's a front "random number" angle. Okay un huh, unhuh. I took geometry once.
That’s amazing how Tony knew who is in these clips just by the tricks. I wish I got to meet him during the time I was doing security for Six Flags NE when they had a tour through the parks.
“That inspired an entire generation of kids to get into skating”
-The guy who inspired an entire generation of kids to get into skating
i'd say generations
For how famous he was, he is incredibly humble
For how famous he is*
*is
You mean is* he's not dead lol
Was he still is
I saw this comment and screamed because this was the first movie that came to mind when I clicked on the video
Spider man clips start
Tony Hawk: wtf is this lol
But also "I know the guy that did this." 😆
Tony has to understand it's spider man and everything sticks to him.
@@froey198033 To his shoes, too?
@@zacharyhuffman1863 watch spiderman again, it's not like he takes his shoes off 😂
@@juliangarrett-weekes3393 Ha! Good point.
i remember all the tony hawk games… project 8 was my favorite
Tony Hawk is a legendary skater, so much so that even those of us like me who know nothing about skateboarding or those in it have heard about him. I'm not a sports fans, really, but I do admire those who can do what skateboarders do.
I also love watching things like this when people are passionate about what they do, even after literally decades in their field. It's partly why videos like this are so cool to watch, even if it's of something I normally don't have much, if any, interest in. I do like watching skateboarding, though, even though I don't understand the lingo or the like.
I'm totally lost when he's saying the terms, but it's still a fun video to watch. haha :)
Tony: *Sees clip once*
*Can explain exactly why they're doing bad edits and using different moves in between cuts*
It most likely has a _lot_ to do with amateur clip vids. When these guys were coming up, they would film their best tricks on cassette and edit them all together in order to gain more traction for their crews. There were tons of these amateur videos being passed around the "extreme sports" circles, and it was how certain groups and crews gained a lot of fans.
Honestly as a skater there's nothing behind it almost every skater would know this cause everything is done in a specific way, regardless of style. Foot placement, how much pressure when popping, how long you can keep your feet on the board after landing(which is actually a big deal, if you can't keep your feet on the board for at least 3 seconds it doesn't count). all the same nothing changes. You'll be able to point it out, kind of like the military and stolen valors the reason you can spot one out so easily is because you learn a specific way to dress and how to present that uniform( not to compare skating to the military).
He's a professor of skateboarding. He can literally teach a major of that in a known university
foxman4455 right!!
If Tony is the professor of skateboarding than that would make Rodney Mullen Albert Einstein
L I T E R A L L Y
foxman4455 I would take that class in a heartbeat yo 😂😂
@@dawsynlarson696 Worthiest tuition spent ever
The intro to Tom Green's movie was a great skate scene. Riding through the mall and using it as a skate park
I love that he talked up police Academy 4 so much. I’m not a skater but I must’ve watched that skating scene 100 times as a kid.
It's so badass when he starts explaining the physics of how it works
so crazy how most of these breakdowns is just people commenting on random videos...and Tony is just like "oh yeah, there's me"
I love Tony, but seeing Rodney Mullen was a treat. He is my favorite
Gleaming The Cube was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Not only because of the skating but the story was great and I'm a huge fan of Christian Slater. I still remember Tony Hawk driving the Pizza Hut truck with the visor hat on backwards. Great stuff.
I absolutely love how a legend like Tony Hawk gives such props and praise to Rodney Mullen. Someone who did not get the respect and admiration that he deserved early in his skating career. He did eventually get those props when Rodney finally switches over to a regular street board. But there's just something special when one legend gives props to another legend. Gets you all warm and fuzzy inside. lol
jeremybr2020 I think it makes you realize how human they are. That they can give attention to another legends struggles and acknowledge their reality at that point in time.
they're really good friends and both are super sweet people
They were best friends and in the bones brigade/Powell
If I meet someone that is into skating, I always test them by asking if they know who Rodney Mullen is. If not, I then ask them "but, you do know who Tony Hawk is?". Regardless of their answer I just reply "ohh, so you're not really into skateboarding..." x)
Rodney is the most innovative skater of all time. Tony is just known for being a god in the ramps/verts through competitions and his beloved video games.
@@Khintara thats stupid
I never would have thought a Pro Skater would have the thought process of a
Physics Professor.
Genni G Fox That’s why he’s one of the best i guess.
Tony Hawk points out what went wrong in "Back To The Future"
Are you kidding? Every serious skater thinks about all the myriad ways in which they will fall.
He's spent decades facing gravity on a board and observing and later judging others doing the same thing. He doesn't have the though proces of a physics professor, he has the thought process of a seasoned skater. A legendary one that helped pioneer the industry at that.
If you like that sort of thing, you should reaaaaalllly watch some Rodney Mullen interviews. He could genuinely teach a class in Motion Physics.
Absolute legend.
Watching Rodney Mullen is eternally mind blowing. It’s like suspending your disbelief, but it’s actually happening.
Grind was the movie that made me wanna start skating I was like 13 when it came out, Plus Bam being in it for a quick scene was awesome!
Tony Hawk not understanding Spider-Man’s feet are sticky is so Tony Hawk
Sure, but through his shoes? I think that's more of an issue with the script. Shoulda been bare feet for it to really make sense.
By that logic though, how would Spiderman be able to grip a wall or ceiling through his suit?
@@USMC-lr8th Suit is as thick as thin cloth. Its spandex. Shoe is a bit thicker m8.
It would've made more sense if he was wearing the suit, but the stickiness can't go through all of those sole layers.
skate shoes have thinner soles, so it makes the feet-gripping thing a lot more plausable
wish you asked him about lords of dogtown
I spent the whole video waiting for it. Love that movie. Wanted to see what Tony thought about the fancy tricks they did in the movie
Right? I thought he was gonna say that was his favorite
He was even in the movie right?
@@piccolo1525 Yeah he played neil armstrong or something
Why did nobody explain why Spiderman was stuck to his board?
I'm not a skater nor do I find it interesting or appealing but I could listen to this guy talk about skateboarding and other skaters all day. I think it's because he's genuine with what he's talking but especially who he's talking about.
I dont do skateboarding, but I'm really thankful to know this man through video games. He is a good human. A good example!
Because of him i had beautiful childhood memories. Playing playstation with ny cousin, sisters ❤️
Thank you Tony and god, universe, atoms, galaxys, particles, cells bless you!
"I don't know what they're doing in the Olympics, I'm not involved in that..."
I'm sorry, but have you SEEN how passionate Tony Hawk is about skating?!
Is there ANY better ambassador to set up the sport in the Olympics??
TinKnight They really missed out by not including him. Skaters of all ages would loved to see him be a part of that
@@_ZORRO__ Exactly... and not just all ages, but all nationalities.
Sure, he's not active in the sport now, but I can't think of many others with the worldwide recognition & reputation. And his attention to detail would be a boon for setting up scoring/judging.
Olympics skateboarding is mostly street skating, Tony Hawk does ramps (mostly)
@@jazzycat8917 well they are already making competitions on the olympic format so skaters get used to it. And they have 2 formats: park and street, park is just a bowl which is very similar to vert.
True...
How does he look old and young ah the same time
All the spins
He's in amazing shape and has a youthful haircut. Want to look young when you're older? Moisturize and exercise.
Neither old nor young and still cool!
His face looks old, but his voice sounds like a 20 y.o person and he has a young kid hairstyle. So, that's old and young mix right there.
Its the Birdman!!
Watching Tony Hawk’s trick tips in 2002 and then Grind coming out in 2003. Good time to be skating. Just turned 30 and still skating.
I will never get tired of watching this video...I love tony hawk
Why did nobody tell him that the scott pilgrim scene was entirely based on the tony hawk's pro skater games? Oh man
Because half of the whole skate boarding universe is based on his achievements
Did you know thps games ate actually based on Tony hawk!!!!!
Boardslide, melon bs 360, 50-50. Dude lost a sick combo
“We’re in video game territory now.” I think he got it regardless.

Tony Hawk, 2019
Everything I’ve ever seen of tony hawk makes him seem like just a really cool down to earth dude
Tony hawk “ his foot is stuck to his board “
* forgets that it’s spider man and everything sticks to him *
Well, if Spiderman rode the bord bare-footed I'd agree - like when Tobey-Spidy produced those little micro-hooks on his fingers to climb a wall.
But I didn't know Spiderman could get his spidy stuff THROUGH the shoes :P
@@MistedMind exactly
Misted Mind in the comics his whole sticky thing is more like an aura per se apparently. Feel like that’s used to retcon a few things but it’s a thing nonetheless. Apparently it reaches just over whatever clothes Parker wears. Plus in that same movie Tobey did climb the wall with shoes on still.
@@skrawberriez8628 yes but he did use his hands to pull him self up the footing was more of trying to not put all the strain on his arms
@@MistedMind but he still uses gloves and shoes w the suit and still sticks to the wall...

All the real skaters act like Tony Hawk. Super down to earth guys and girls who are humble chill af and ready to help without being asked. Type of dudes who’ll walk you through a whole trick while treating you like they’ve known you their whole lifes.
Tony is a legend in and out of the skate world.
Tony Hawk is the oldest teenager ever
Carlos Matos Fanpage thats good one my eyes
I heard he he smells like teen spirit
I would argue that Tom Morello is the oldest teen ager ever. Haha
I saw him in Powell and Peralta videos when were all 15
lol
All the other videos are titled like “astronaut” “former jewel thief” “navy seal”, on Tony Hawk’s it’s just his name, he needs no introduction.
Haha yeah, since he show up on media more than others.
Haven't skated in 13 years. So cool seing Tony Hawk experiencing a come back just because of the olympics.
