this makes me want to cry.. you have no idea how bad i want to be a kid again and relive playing this game for the first time.. greatest TH game by far..
You can emulate the game. I've got a PCSX2 and it works flawlessly although there are some frame slow downs with certain games but you hardly notice it if you're playing on a controller. I legit just beat THAW like not even a day ago and the game is still amazing even on PS2 graphics. Never got to beat any of these games as a kid since I wasn't much of a gamer back then and now I'm reliving my childhood beating these games in 60fps! Oh and did I forget all this shits free too. Dont gotta pay a dime for nostalgia.
2020 gang checking in. Completed this game after 15 years yesterday, and I almost forgot how beautiful this video at the end was. Watching this reminded me of great times that can't be replicated.
This game made me start skateboarding when i was like 9 i stopped when i was 15 idk why because i was good i wanted to be sponsored and be pro so bad but in my highschool as a black kid it was “lame” to skateboard so i guess that’s why i stopped im gonna make sure my kids follow their passion no matter what cause i got their back
I revisited and beat this game the other day, such fantastic memories. At the end, all the pro skaters are skating around the ranch eternally. Bam is forever young, lil Sheckler forever a kid, skate culture very much alive in-game. RIP Neversoft, and the games like Underground 1 & 2, and American Wasteland.
Just saw this guy comment how the game is 10 years old guys. Its almost 20 years now. God bless this game I miss my childhood but I´m also happy for the future to come and maybe show my own kids this game one day!
This is definitely my favourite Tony Hawk's video game. I played this on my PS2 when it came out back in 2005 and I still cannot believe that 10 years have passed since this game was made (2005 - 2015). Good old times. So many memories. I miss my childhood.
ryan sheckler has to be the luckiest kid on the this earth...after he won the xgames he became the biggest skateboarding star....he will never have to lift a finger for the rest of his life
the trio that this game was part of was the best tony hawk game era in my opinion, the 4 original pro skater games were amazing but thug1, thug2 and thaw were GOAT tier. I hope one day we get another tony hawk game with an actual story mode again, if they use the thps1+2 remake engine we are good to go.
I use to watch this all the time since I just started skating. Now I look back at this and one of my favorite skaters is not with us anymore. R.I.P bam
Feeling super nostalgic...I remember skating after seeing this video back in middle school, will go outside play with my friends, will have fun...Now i am a Sophomore in college. :(
I just started last night and finished at 7 this morning and honestly I thought this game was shit when I was a kid but now my opinion has vastly changed and I’m happy to say I really liked the whole game
Filmmakers need to make a Tony Hawk American Wasteland movie and it should be in 3D and IMAX and it could have the destruction where there's are getting destroyed and torn apart and all the great combos and create a trick tricks etc. It would kind of be like a disaster movie mixed with skateboarding and great biking and great biking stunts (which should be in it as well).
This was the best one i ever played out of the tony hawk serries..you actually get to walk around...throw ur board at people(lol).And it has new transportation.The music was so epiccc.Shops to buy stuff and hairtcut.I loved the story that goes along with it.Good times,good times.
damn...i never screamed so many times holy shit looking at a youtube skate video......this video is .....HOLY SHIT !!!! lol ....makes me feel to go back to skateboarding.....i did it for 13 years ..then in ramp i broke the ligaments of my right ankle .....since then ...I never found the courage to get back on my skate.....and i started do freestyle ski :P btw tnx for posting this super video
I love this game
Hey Acai

It’s crazy how time fly’s bro I was just a kid playing this thinking I was so grown now I’m about to be 28 😢😅🤙
When I first saw this, I cried...I felt so empty after finishing the game..
This is definitely my favourite Tony Hawk's video game. I played this on my PS2 when it came out back in 2005 and I still cannot believe that 10 years have passed since this game was made (2005 - 2015). Good old times. So many memories. I miss my childhood.
+Zhane Alan Yep. I played it when I was 10, in like 2009.
+Zhane Alan i started in 2008/9 ( dont remember) and i still playing this game. ITS DRUG.
I just realized I had the collectors edition
Pro Skater 3 was my childhood
Today is the 14th anniversary of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, i love this game so damn much!
The story for the game was awesome in opinion
Faxxxxxxxxxxxx
This was the golden age of skateboarding.This game was legendery.
Skating is so fucking lame now it sucks, filled to the brim full of self rightous narssacistic kooks
just ordered this game for ps2 on Amazon,had to get it again, so many memories
Wishing I never quit skating for football
-church-
You should get back into it then
Bad choise...
You fucked up
No bull shit
mullen's flip tricks are just amazing. it's just spectacular to look at
Hooking the ol PS2 up this upcoming week, and I'm gonna shred this game again!
Good times, great memories.
For when a remake of THAW?
***** same! So many famous people in this game and p-rod is so dam young lol
One of the best Tony Hawk games. Nostalgia :)
ryan sheckler has to be the luckiest kid on the this earth...after he won the xgames he became the biggest skateboarding star....he will never have to lift a finger for the rest of his life
So nostalgic, even how the music cuts out at Tony Hawks part, usually cause the disk is damaged from being played nonstop.
STICKER SLAP TO MANUAL TO WALLPLANT
Thaw is a genuine societal pivot for skateboarding. This changed the game for mid 00s skaters
THAW Never gets old (THAW = Tony Hawk American Wasteland)
This was basically the only skate video I had access to besides when viva la bam was on tv. Would watch this over and over and over lol 😂
The reason i started skating right here😈
Same
Same
just beat this again. the video at the end is pretty great. takes me back.
I need to do another playthrough on emulator
I wond3r if ther3s graphics mods because it looks rough in 2023 but the music and game itself is so good
this is easily one of my favorite tony hawk games i like underground the best though
This was the coolest thing to me in the world when I was a kid. Watching this still activates some part of my brain with insane excitement.
ah, the nostalgia 🤘
the trio that this game was part of was the best tony hawk game era in my opinion, the 4 original pro skater games were amazing but thug1, thug2 and thaw were GOAT tier. I hope one day we get another tony hawk game with an actual story mode again, if they use the thps1+2 remake engine we are good to go.
I wished for that too. Too bad Neversoft closed down. 😢
I miss og Bam Margera
childhood memories right here
I learned skateboarding when this game came out.this song reminds me the hours at my backyard trying to kickflip :)
Outstanding Ending in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
100% best tony hawk game. Brings back the memories. I might have to plug the ps2 and play again. It prob looks like potato pixels at this point.
I use to watch this all the time since I just started skating. Now I look back at this and one of my favorite skaters is not with us anymore. R.I.P bam
Old and good times that do not come back ...
Those guys are stinkin talented! They make it look so easy!
2023 Baby
3:04 damn that clean heelflip though
Feeling super nostalgic...I remember skating after seeing this video back in middle school, will go outside play with my friends, will have fun...Now i am a Sophomore in college. :(
So many memories
шикарно! недавно перепрошел игру заново, увидел этот видос - прослезился. именно это видео мотивировало меня чтобы встать на доску)
I remember this shit LOL this made me by a skateboard. I quit after I had a really bad fall literally 2 days later.
same, except I still have my skateboard
This brings back good memories....
playing for 5 hours straight but it was worth it
this game introduced me to skating
GOD. Memories of childhood
rodney mullen always had the coolest bonus videos in these games
i remember finishing the game for the first time i was so excited to see it! haha
I just started last night and finished at 7 this morning and honestly I thought this game was shit when I was a kid but now my opinion has vastly changed and I’m happy to say I really liked the whole game
I remember this, epic stuff!
Brings me back to childhood this game is legendary so many good memories it takes you back to a place in time

I loved playing this game on my PS2 but now I got an Xbox360 and looking to buy it on that.
Long Live Tony Hawk's American Wasteland!
Just stumbled across a comment I left almost a decade ago- life’s a trip...
that was an epic game lol
The story line in the game was great man !
my childhood ;(
Best on the series gameplay, story and glitches.
Filmmakers need to make a Tony Hawk American Wasteland movie and it should be in 3D and IMAX and it could have the destruction where there's are getting destroyed and torn apart and all the great combos and create a trick tricks etc. It would kind of be like a disaster movie mixed with skateboarding and great biking and great biking stunts (which should be in it as well).
Best Tony Hawk game ever! Thumps up for that!
@dachefffkoch thanks a lot
This was the best one i ever played out of the tony hawk serries..you actually get to walk around...throw ur board at people(lol).And it has new transportation.The music was so epiccc.Shops to buy stuff and hairtcut.I loved the story that goes along with it.Good times,good times.

Fu**Great Video and Song man
Loved all tony hawk games but this one hit different with the Bmx bikes.
Never clocked that bam margera clip in London stockwell 🎉❤
One of the things that first inspired me to skate. Talk about nostalgia
We used to come home to this
That was the best T.H game on da PS2! Kool vid BTW!
Reminds me of the time when I slept in front of the skateshop, waiting for the new challange...
It was at this moment when I realized the adventures and interactions with the other characters was over :,)
yes he was around.
in 2005 he made a show with Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. The show was called "Rob and Big". And the game was made in 2006.
i miss playing this game so much :')
thps2 and thaw will always be in my heart
