“Kickflips weren’t even invented until I was 16” dear god we’re getting older 😢
Yeah that line hit me pretty good lol
My back hurts now
That line single handedly threw my back out and gave me dementia 🥴
😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Felt my knee act up
It’s cool to see Wayne talk to someone HE looks up to. It’s always the other way around
Good take
Exactlyyyy my man
He looks super clear, even healthier, here
Great point
Wayne needs to do more podcasts man. He has a lot to say.
10 year old me would never imagine I’d see Tony Hawk & Lil Wayne sit down and talk skating
Same bro i was watching baller blockin and playing THPS 25 years ago when I was 11.
Thanks for the midlife crisis btw
@@Nectarmanright? Fuck me.
@@NectarmanMaybe you were 12. Damn, this made me feel old because I remember how old I was playing THPS and you are only a few years older than me.
Lil Wayne didn't exist when I was 10. I mean he did but he was also ten
When I was 11 I was playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on the PS1, listening to Lil Wayne's first album. If someone had told me they'd both be on the same podcast talking about skating, I would have said "whats a podcast?"
this is golden 😂
Ipods are what the pod come from
So you'll know when u get dat ps2
But when u get dat ps triple, ayy we fly high
Never heard Wayne so sincere.
Watch him when he talks to Nicki 😂
@@philippatek1527🤣🤣
@@philippatek1527 came here to say the same thing
Wayne is always sincere. You must not watch a lot of his interviews
is it something 😂
He’ll never really lose that classic California skater voice
He has that North County accent. Can’t get enough of it.
He still lives in California so why would he?
He is the classic Cali skater
I wonder if he'll always have such a young sounding voice. I swear, he sounds 21.
@@howieewalt1322yah bitch sound 40 bro 🙊
I like seeing Wayne talking to skaters. He comes out of his rap persona and “cool guy” thing and just seems like a down to earth teenager.
Badass man
That's the case for pretty much any rapper that's actually good. You can actually find evidence of them being real people outside of their career.
'I wish he would of left it at that '
😂
Wayne the goat
Def not a goat 😂
@@TheFruitingChamberhe’s the 🐐…. Just stop
Nah he just a poser who still cant kickflip. 😂
@@lIllIIIllIlcan't really call someone who can't kick flip a poser. A poser is someone who pretends to skate who doesn't has nothing to do with skull
@@TheFruitingChamberyou're either the type to think Eminem is the only good rapper or you don't listen to the genre
Man Wayne seems like he’s actually interested in what Tony’s saying. You can tell he respects him and is invested in the conversation.
Comments like this begs the question "what did you think of him before this?"
Weezy is big into skating I thought it was common knowledge
Weezy genuinely loves skating, and I think he’s even admitted that it’s become more of a love for him and rap music… so it doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s inspired by the goat skater
Wayne went pro
@@MrJKellerLewis Why would it be common knowledge? Didn't this guy drop off the face of the earth like half a decade or more ago? Also not everyone listen to cRap music.
Wayne looks genuinely interested and seems happy here
Because he’s been trying to ollie for like 9 years
It makes sense. Wayne was on one of the greatest runs in Hip-Hop history, and then semi-retired to become a skater.
He always looks so serious when being interviewed. Good to see him more relaxed, and happy. He even made a joke, which is a rarity.
Bro doesn’t skate he just rolls everywhere and thinks it’s something
@@Mak1426😂😂😂😂😂
2 living legends with different backgrounds! I love it...
Love how much Wayne genuinely loves skating
Rodney Mullen’s entire freaking career can be described as “we just thought that was something he could do, and nobody else”😂
Tony hawk was the first pro skater I knew by heart growing up, Rodney mullen was probably the second
One was the face of skating and one was widely considered the leading pioneer in modern skating
But Mullen was way ahead, Tony Hawk was just more known
@@mrwubbs7265yeah, and I am as close to 100% certain as one can be with out actually asking him, that Mullen wouldn't have it any other way. Dude goes out and skates at like 3 or 4 am so he can just chill out alone lol
I still believe there are things that only he can do. He's like the Santa of skateboarding. I choose to believe, no matter how insane these 9 and 10 year Olds are today lol.
"I wish we would've left it at that" 😂
He definitely know what its like to try and learn a 360 flip
Bars
@@carclain123nowadays tricks are next level
Right. Who is "we" 😅😅😅
I felt that cuz shits hard now 😂
I want my childhood back 😩😭
Wayne is a true skater to the core, he got more heart toward skating than probably 80% of people on a board
Cool comment, but how on earth could you possibly even estimate something like that.
@@YouDontWantItWithMebc he’s a grown man that got into skating at around 27 and has never let up actually only fallen more in love with the sport
@@GratefullyTrolled cool. But what does that have to do with my question?
No he isn't 🤣
Hes a true poser. Been skating for years and cant even ollie😂😂😂

@@CrazyAspyKid sure kid, whatever you say
Ask him to heel flip 😂
best quote
@@CrazyAspyKidyea if you are a virgin
Wayne is all around solid. You can tell he genuinely loves skating and has a lot of respect for the OG’s
And still can't kickflip
@RagnarLodbrok-tw3kc nobody who genuinely don't love skating skates💀💀🤡🤡
@RagnarLodbrok-tw3kcmost “real” skaters started out young so obviously you’d put more time into it as a kid who has a bunch of energy while Wayne got into skating later in life and still does it to this day, it’s a hobby that he’s passionate about not a passion that turned into a hobby so he’s learning and interested, he’s genuinely interested and wants to learn more. Maybe rn he can’t kick flip but he will learn bc he wants to and that’s why he’s on the podcast and you’re not mr ms. Negative woke
we need more people like you on the internet.. the fixed mindset is a killer. smh
@@onlycapone3544
You can tell that? Dude sounds like he would enjoy watching paint dry.
Crazy to see the kinds of people that skateboarding brings together. Two people that I followed their art but could never imagine they’d be chillin and talking kickflips. Skating is for real something magical.
Rodney created so many tricks! I love Tony and Jason giving Rod his due! Seems like yesterday!
Tony didn't want to admit he learned it in days.
Right 😂 he looking at Wayne like nigha it shouldn’t take years to learn tf You mean
Hours probably
I mean. most skaters, learn it in a day... so....
@@TjMurby-wp9itnot even
@@TjMurby-wp9itbro you definitely do not skate where tf did you hear that
Tony-the real OG who never actually gave up his board.
Certainly and OG but not original. if not for the Dogtown boys reinventing the sport and Peralta discovering and signing him, probably wouldn't know who he is.
@@dyinhope6840Facts!
@@dyinhope6840so what
@@dyinhope6840you named a bunch of people no one knows. But we know tony .
@@dyinhope6840wow dude, you need to work hard and be lucky to make it big, who taught? what did you expect, there are probably thousands of better skaters than tony out there, never going to go pro cause luck/circumstance. there are thousands of people with a better voice than mariah carey, maybe they work in a fucking nike factory. no shit you need luck, what is the point of your comment?
The real birdman.
Yes!
Gave my son $1000 if he could kick flip. He thought it was impossible. So Dad (myself) had to show him it was possible (never done it before). After beat up shins, Dad rocked his first kick flip at 42. I thought heavens gates opened that day. Then,…my son saw the light and pulled one off himself. Took me a couple months I’d say. Worth every attempt.
Seeing Tony Hawk and Lil Wayne together is crazy, two of my childhood idols. This is a really cool conversation, I gotta listen to the whole thing.
Fr it feels so natural too
2 childhood idols from 2 different worlds. Its really cool.
How is lil Wayne n Tony hawk ur childhood idols?? Were u born then died then born decades later???
@PjPimental my guy Lil Wayne and Tony Hawk were both very popular during the 2000s. Tony Hawk was coming out with all the pro skater games and Lil Wayne was dropping album after album at the time. What are you talking about
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman wtf are you talking about? THPS games where huge in the early 2000s so was lil Wayne. This isn't rocket science.
Rodney Mullen is a legend amongst legends
I’ll never forget. Years ago watching a Rodney clip on youtube that happened to be pushed into my feed…and wow…the skills and raw finesse he showed absolutely blew my mind
I believe it was whats called flatland skating or something like that
He was flipping, rotating, and gyrating all over that damn board in what I can only describe as skateboard breakdance
Truly mind bending stuff
@@FuZioNFr3nZy yeah dude. I remember watching his videos as a kid and realizing how not fuckin cool I was 😂😂😂😂
Casper slide was sick but yeah Rodney invented soo many tricks 💯
he is the dark slide.he is literally the goat
He is the greatest ever.
Wayne is one of the most diverse personalities out there. He’s a true independent who follows his heart and passion. Dude is truly admirable
Ive seen people skate irl many times, every trick still feels like magic.
The answer was “no. It took me a day or two” he just said it nicely so Wayne didn’t get discouraged lol
Probably not his kickflips always looked goofy af, because like he said he doesn't skate flat ground
maybe not even that long. we are talking about a man that didnt lose a contest for what like 7 years? never so much as a second place
@@chrhaddenthat isnt the same as learning a kickflip on a freestyle board.
You'd be a terrible interview
@@chrhaddenvert is mad different than street. That's like asking a champion race driver to become a proficient Skier because they both go fast.
Changed this comment because people are weird and annoying. Suck it.
The don
but its weird history
Its the bloke who said, Im doing what I want
...and making something of it
Imagine what the people he told said when he first started
Now imagine them now

Skating really is SO hard, physically and mentally. It’s nice to see notable people talk about the skill thresholds
This video is wholesome af.
Gotta love guys talking about what they love
Tony Hawk really does seem like the kind of guy who has found a way to spend his whole life doing what he loves.
Not really, he said on another interview he loves disco rollerskating
@@aronobThat's so lame
Master detective at work
@@ItsMigisherlock holmes over here 😂
not really.....@@daffyduckling6958
Although my skate days are far behind me, it’s something special about landing that first kick flip for the first time. It’s almost like magic, and showing your friends for the first time priceless
Man, Tony is such a legend he predates kickflips
Pretty dope to see Wayne humble himself to talk about the simplicity of a kickflip. You can tell he really likes skating 💯
humble himself? are you stupid?
You must not listen the Wayne’s interviews a lot. When speaking on life, he’s a very humble dude. When he’s “Lil Wayne” the rapper , that’s a whole other persona.
Too bad he’s a huge douche basically all the time so a 10 second sound bite doesn’t exactly make up for jt
Calm the fuck down what the hell do you think he is a god or something lmfao
Yessss 100%
good question that made tony dig back and think of his teens,
I read this as “tony big dick”
Why did I read "dick bag" instead of dig back?🤔
@@dtrbstbecause you read it wrong?
@@dtrbstdon’t worry, I did too
@@dtrbstsame
Hawk is the nicest guy ever. Met him once at a concert. He was so amazed we had every Hawk skating game. Very chill dude.
Hawke and Wayne in the same room is so Iconic woah
Seeing Wayne interview hawk completely enthralled, is dope. People just connecting on a real level is fun seeing, especially when there so different
Wayne interviewing Tony Hawk is the dopest shit ever
Wayne is such a g for showing respect and interest in skating
The entire interview is worth listening to.
Rodney was always my favorite skater growing up in the 90's his impact on skating today is just unparalleled.
Yeah, too bad he doesn't get as much mainstream attention as Tony. I mean he deserves that attention, but Mullen is definitely the most influential figure on all of street skating.
@@nukeninmgt1504i think Rodney would be miserable being recognized everywhere he went. We know the dude is highly intelligent but keeps a small world around himself he's A special kind of human..plus its fun to introduce his videos to new skaters kind of an underground feeling
@@snafukilljoy204Mullen already calls himself the Godfather of Modern Skateboarding haha, he's well aware of his impact. His just a humble man who enjoys his life and doesn't need the limelight
Rodney should of been a scientist iykyk
He's the master that taught all of us, and just quietly went away to live in peace and told us "go have fun".
i love how engaged they are in conversation
I started skating when i was 7 in the early 2000's and back then there really wasn't much for tutorials, or anything like that, I didn't have any friends that skated at the time, so for me it did take years to learn my first heelflip. Took me longer to get kickflips down. I dont know. I think me like some people are just slow learners as well. It happens. I think the important thing is to just keep going and skate for fun. Not just to have a bag of tricks. The bag of tricks kinda just comes more and more through time and effort. But I understand it's different for everyone. Wayne has proved himself in skateboarding cause hes done it for years and obviously loves to do it. Alot of the time that passion can be told just by how you skate.
It’s so crazy seeing my favorite rapper talking to someone I looked up to for so long. I never got into actual skating. But I did follow the scene for a long time watching.
You can tell wayne really admires and respects Tony
The duo i didnt know i needed.
I could listen to Tony talk about skateboarding history all day 🤙🏼
Tony Hawk literally a legend. I would still go back and replay all his games.
“Did it take you years to learn a kick flip?”
“I remember working on it for days..”🔥
He did one after days. Not the same.
@@abseil76facts took Wayne 8 years lol
Tony was already a competent skater, its definitely not the same
We need more Wayne and Hawk. This should be it’s own podcast
I'm sold on the name alone. Wayne and Hawk kicks ass off name alone
Abso fucking lutely
You know this convo came from a podcast right
💯
Wayne & Tony
Hawk & Carter
Carter & Hawk.
A high school teacher of mine grew up and skated with tony when they were younger. He said they’d skate all day, everyday, to new places as well. That’s experience. 🙏
Tony Hawk is amazing. There will never be another man like you. You give skateboarding a foundation in the name much love
This is an incredible dynamic!
chemistry turrible
Should of kept the magic flip name, that just sounds badass
I agree. I also think the 360 kickflip might have kept it's name if it was a 360 magic flip. do a tre" doesn't sound nearly as cool as "do a 360 magic"
@@BrokenGodEnt do a magic tre sounds good.
have
It should've stayed magic flip. But isn't there a trick with that exact name?
Lil wayne was so deeply invested in talking to tony hawk
That was a good question
And the perfect person to ask
Wayne is the definition of not judging a book by its cover. Hes just a cool ass dude.
Crazy to see Wayne feeling vulnerable, wondering about his own capabilities, comparing himself to pros in his own head.
It’s dope to see Wayne skating. He really loves to skateboard.
Wayne is so awesome man, he was really deprived of a childhood due to living situation growing up. And to see him embrace and enjoy something like skating was always cool.
He asked that question because he understands that progression raises time but probably wishes he learned how to do it sooner. He’s also talking as a master of his craft to a master of their craft. What Lil Wayne did for his craft was never done before and can’t be replicated. It a privilege to see such rare conversations
I remember when wayne first started to get into skating he had SOOO many haters. But I loved seein it. I really believe he helped bring the hip hop crowd into skateboarding
The way he asked you almost want to give him a hug 😂🥺
Genuinely curious lol
He’s been “skating” for years and still can’t do a simple kick flip 😂
@@tommysea605 was talking about Wayne
@@elijahlueras6013 me too
@@elijahlueras6013that's who he means, and yea that's what i gathered, that Wayne struggled to learn it. Kickflips are hard. I never got that one down, but i could do a heelflip. I wonder if wayne learned a heel flip first as well
Wayne, you can love skating and be incredibly ungifted at it.” -TH
These are some of my favorite videos to watch now
There seems to be a large influx of clips of people from different backgrounds from my childhood interacting. Feels good man
This was a wonderfully wholesome moment
Teach the man to kick flip!!! It’s been like 10 years
Blows my mind how crazy good Wayne is at skating now I remember when he first started skating so many people clowned on him and he straight up stayed with it and now he’s ridiculously talented at skateboarding
Tony hawk talking about witnessing the first kick flips 😮 that’s absolutely epic
Two GOATs in one room!
I am 50 years young this year and and started sk8ing when I was 13 living in Florida. I grew up watching Tony and the rest of the crew back in the 80's. There's 2 ways you can do a kickflip. Inside and outside with the toe or heal.
Called a heelflip now old timer lol
@@DriperDrownwhat if the board still twists towards you not away from you would still be a kick flip whether you flicked with the toe or heel causing the rotation no? I was always under the understanding the difference is one rotates towards you (kick flip) and one away from you (heel flip)
I enjoy seeing Jason Ellis still getting around
Those boards on the wall bring back so much nostalgia
You can tell Wayne has mad respect for Tony just from the way he was talking & looking at him. Wayne has come a long way from when he started skating till now. He’s not half bad on a board now!
Wayne basically admitted he's been skating for years and can't land a kick flip.
Wayne inadvertently asked a great question contextually.
Your racism is showing.
This is fantastic to watch. I love them both so much. Both were equally part of my childhood.
THIS. Is the interview, I never knew, I needed to see!
Right!? I was like wtf Tony Hawk and lil Wayne?? Feels like a south park episode 😂
The full interview, is worth the watch in my opinion lol. It was a really cool side, from both of them, you usually don't see👍🏾
I’m not going to lie, ever since I heard Wayne was skating I’ve always wanted these two to talk for whatever reason. Specially more so when I found Wayne really loves skating & it wasn’t just some weird phase or some shit. I truly appreciate getting to see these legends talk about something they both love & are passionate about
These two really had me kick flipping up and down the driveway🥹
Those decks in the back are so iconic bro… literally brought a tear to my eye.
You can actually hear how interested and invested Wayne is in a conversation about skateboarding. Kinda wholesome if you ask me ❤
i LOVE how weezys love for skating is so pure he has no ego init
Growing up in the early 2000s with Tony Hawks American Wasteland, Downhill Jam, Pro skater series. Even the Skate games. Some of my biggest childhood memories, and the reason why im a 22 year old skater today.
Two of my idols doing an interview. Hell yeah!
A magic flip 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The moment you realize how special skateboarding is❤🙌. Welcome to the crew💪🔥
THE DUO WE NEEDED
Wow Wayne talking to Tony is a new level of legendary
Crazy hearing that and knowing what skating had been evolved into, back when I started. Love this.
I love that Wayne peeped tony stating originally it was a magic flip
The dynamic dual we never knew we needed. 🙌🏼
Two mfn legends man
It's amazing that I/we got to grow up and watch this sport(The Magic Flip) come into existence.
I remember landing my first kick flip infront of older skaters. The world around me became brighter. Nothing like that feeling.
So simple but so impactive as a young teen.
Surprisingly, I could heelflip before I could kick flip. Once I finally got my kicks down, I couldn't heel the same way anymore and had to re learn. Super weird.
Yeah it’s super interesting! For some reason I could barely roll, but I was able to kickflip McTwist a stair set.
I had the same issue, learned to heel flip cause kickflips were always so awkward feeling for me. Started kick flipping and lost the heel. Still can’t land one lol
Not weird at all. I had a sponsorship from a small skate shop in my city, so I was decent in the late 90s early 2000s. I am now 40, and as yet have not landed a single heel flip but can do literally any variation of a kick flip or pressure flip.
Same here bro. Kicks were easier to throw once you could land with any consistency. Heels take more effort. I lost my heels to an extent and stopped trying them as much deferring more often to the easier kick. I skated street 5yrs in the early to mid 90’s. At one point I was the proud owner of a collection of trespass warnings to just about every cool spot in San Antonio! Skate or die… good times! Muska, Jamie Thomas and Steve Olson were my idols.
Same here, idk what it is with kickflip.. Is it the movement that's so odd about it, so damn hard for me.
