Deep down inside, we're all kids on the inside. It's just throughout our years of growing up, we've build these layers because of the impact of society's opinion of being an adult. Truth is, we love being who we really are deep down inside because that's who we truly are.

I blew out the outside of the toe box in my last pair of vans in two weeks and DCs are the only brand I've found that last me over a year. They're wide enough for my foot, i know exactly what size to order,, they don't have a pronounced heel or that horrible arch support, and they last a long time when I wear them hiking, mountainboarding, doing carpentry and landscaping, etc. They didn't hold up when I was a greenskeeper, but that's because I kept getting them wet. At the moment I only have two pairs of DCs and a pair of Belleville minimalist desert boots and that's all I've needed for the past eighteen months. I love DCs.

I used to have a pair of oakley skate shoes with a toe cap, they were great for working but a size too big. They were really durable too but oakley anything is freaking expensive.
Tony Hawk is at this weird level of fame where he's like the most and least famous person at the same time. My favourite was when he was on a plane or something and a woman spotted his board and said "Oh you're like that Tony Hawk guy. I wonder what he's doing nowdays?" And Tony just goes "This."

That's Tony Hawks mistake though. The kid did everything right to not take anything from strangers. Well, everything but recognizing who he really is...but I think that can be forgiven. So he should have properly introduced himself to the kid, then let him perform his best kickflip and make him a proud little skaterboy instead of just letting him walk off and later find out what happens. This must feel bad for the boy, who actually did the right thing.

I'm 47 now and Tony was legendary when I started skating at 13. I don't think anyone in any other sport has lasted and still relevant for so many years. Tony Hawk is the definition of what the G.O.A.T. means.
I think he still has the foundation for building new parks. His number one goal has always been to get as many people skating as possible. He’s a legend for all the right reasons and should be cherished.
Love his enthusiasm, plus that girl probably never even bother to do it by herself. This is what makes guys like Tony Hawk so great, they don't look down on people in their field who are beginners and just learning, in fact they encourage them to keep trying and pushing the limits of what they think they can do. That girl is probably gonna be more courageous to do more tricks/skills on her own
Tony Hawk now: "Do a kickflip!" Tony Hawk 20 years ago: "Do a kickflip into a nosegrind into a manual toward the halfpipe and pop a sweet benihana before finishing off with a 720 Christ Air! Oh, and find the secret tape."
Every sport, hell every hobby would be lucky to have an icon like Tony Hawk representing it. He's still so passionate about skating, and so supportive without being the tiniest bit condescending or a gate keeper to newcomers. I can't skate to save my life, never had the coordination for it, but I wish I could just because he makes it look so fun even at his age.
Wow, Im a surfer, but now i feel i must learn the kickflip, just in case some day i meet you hahaha, love the inspiration you give Tony, your're a living legend, much love from Argentina.
Dude youre understating it, that fuckin kid recognized him, FULL ON FISHTAILED his prepubescent ass around and had that shit ready before he even had the scooter fully turned around
I once landed a triple-mctwist kicker-flipper thrice in a row when i was outside in my house, in my house's backyard, where I skater-boardered (in my backyard). I'd like to see these kids try that.
Growing up (same area as TH) my dad told me stories that he skated with TH as a teen and made him out to be a total arrogant, spoiled JA. I'm starting to think this might be another Santa and tooth fairy situation with a twinge of jealousy ...
I've actually been doing this recently. My boyfriend(who doesn't skate, but just cares for my safety) has helped me learn how to skate and then skate down inclines by holding onto him. It feels a little embarrassing being the least experienced person at the skate park but I feel like Tony Hawk gave me his blessing just now haha
@@gonkfart Yeah i get what you're saying , i had these Air Jordan 1's for about a year and came to a point where i didn't really have any good pair of skate shoes without holes left, so i kinda started skating them, but now i got new Jordan's and even though i also got new skate shoes i feel like today i skated better in my old Jordan 1's than yesterday when i was wearinig my new Emerica skate shoes, So i'm just gonna continue skating them, they hold up pretty well and are comfy to skate in , anyways if Tony Hawks asked me to do a kickflip and i was wearing new J's i'd not even think about that haha.
Deadass, I skated a lot when I was a kid. Played Tony Hawk pro skater whenever I wasn't on my board, I would've lost my mind if he asked me to kickflip
The kid on the scooter recognized Tony inmediately. He had been waiting for this moment all his life, and when god drived by and commanded him to do a kickflip, he knew this was the moment.
I was always the pudgy kid but I remember the best times I had was when I tried to learn to skate. The older dudes at the park were super encouraging. It felt nice. I never learned to do a kick flip but I did makes a few good friends.
Love the fact that he's so supportive of everyone at any level. Even if they mess it up or they only do something seemingly basic for the first time, he still encourages them. Absolute legend.
Probky Bcuz he’s been there in the past. He remembers and knows the struggle. A lot of famous ppl r just given fame when they haven’t struggled n worked for it.
of course :-D He is better than anyone so he could basically talk trash all day long to other skaters tell them they suck :-D But that is not the spirit. I have been a rollerblader in the past and there were some toxic amateurs in the scene. The pros usually are cool and down to earth. People with self esteem don`t have to prove anything.
dude i love how supportive tony is to kids who dont make it on their first try or at all even tho hes literally the godfather of skateboarding basically
Grew up watching Tony Hawk and its just awesome to see just how much he loves the entire sport. The man is an absolute legend and yet never let it go to his head. Now he goes out and just wants to see the sport and these kids to succeed.
Do they still make those? Kids these days probably don't know what they are. I used to use my school i.d. when i would forget my tech deck at home lol. Good times.
I can’t kickflip (my excuse is that I’m primarily a vert skater lmao) but I’d do it in 0.2 seconds if the birdman himself appeared to me in the flesh 😂 I wanted to be him when I was a kid, so the fact that so many people didn’t recognize him boggles my mind
Google Is A Cruel Mistress you kidding me? I watched so many Tony hawk videos and played so many Tony hawk games that I would’ve recognized his voice before anything lmao
I would have loved beeing cheered on by TH! Imagine anything you do as a beginner and having one of the GOATs come and motivate you... like Jordan telling you you can score a 3-pointer and doing it or Tiger Woods cheering for your X-yard put or Michael Jackson showing you some dance moves or David Copperfield being impressed with a magic trick you just learned...
You are an absolute legend Tony. Grew up as a kid watching you. You are the reason I started skating and playing your video games. Here I am 2 days before my 40th Birthday and you are still giving me that mindset that I can put my mind to anything I do.
Don't think his buddy was meaning it that way, he's probably just very into his field of work and skateboarding and is just like can you imagine if Tony Hawk was your patient lol, but yeah hopefully Tony Hawk avoids that, he's getting on now, the last thing he needs is more mega injuries.
Its because they're seeing him out of context (which is part of how we recognize many peeople we've never met. They've use to seeing pictures / videos of him skating (and younger), but they're not use to seeing him inside a car from a distance.

I was genuinely impressed when the 3 kids landed 3 kick flips in a row.
I once landed a triple-mctwist kicker-flipper thrice in a row when i was outside in my house, in my house's backyard, where I skater-boardered (in my backyard). I'd like to see these kids try that.
@@eddiemurphy6031 r/thathappened
@Hedest r/no
maybe even 4 before the camera perspective hide another kid :D
And I was impressed when I saw that part of the video first before I even saw your comment
Does anybody else just genuinely love Tony Hawk? Such a nice dude.
he's one of the chillest guys around. Tony is awesome
Growing up (same area as TH) my dad told me stories that he skated with TH as a teen and made him out to be a total arrogant, spoiled JA. I'm starting to think this might be another Santa and tooth fairy situation with a twinge of jealousy ...
"We thought you were danny way"
"No I'm Eric koston" 💀💀💀
Some of those kids are gonna tell their grandchildren about the time they slammed a kickflip on command infront of Tony hawk
These kids don't know that he's Tony Hawk.
@@You-sw7tm Tony Hawk in disguise as your children
The grandchildren: Who tf is Tony Hawk
@@lowkeymd Sad truth
Hey U its sad most of these “skaters” had no idea that was tony hawk. Its like basketball players at the park not recognizing michael jordan.
Tony Hawk: I'm Eric Koston
Guy: All right
Come on, dude
@@iceangelx22 no it's like Michael Jordan telling a basketball player I'm Shaquille O'Neal and they just say "alright"
Who tf is eric kosten never heard that name
😂😂
Imagine you're learning to skate at the park with your bf and Tony Hawk shows up and cheers you on
I've actually been doing this recently. My boyfriend(who doesn't skate, but just cares for my safety) has helped me learn how to skate and then skate down inclines by holding onto him. It feels a little embarrassing being the least experienced person at the skate park but I feel like Tony Hawk gave me his blessing just now haha
“I can’t I have my Jordan’s on” you can see the sadness in Tony’s eyes
this mans is for sure a mall grabber
AnnaLisa Luoma istg
Air Jordan 1's skate pretty well actually
@@bakerystore2478 yeah but jordans are expensive
@@gonkfart Yeah i get what you're saying , i had these Air Jordan 1's for about a year and came to a point where i didn't really have any good pair of skate shoes without holes left, so i kinda started skating them, but now i got new Jordan's and even though i also got new skate shoes i feel like today i skated better in my old Jordan 1's than yesterday when i was wearinig my new Emerica skate shoes, So i'm just gonna continue skating them, they hold up pretty well and are comfy to skate in , anyways if Tony Hawks asked me to do a kickflip and i was wearing new J's i'd not even think about that haha.
Imagine coming home with those headphones and your mom askes how you got them and you tell her Tony Hawk threw them at you
Seems legit
And then she beats you because she thinks you're lying and that you stole them
Evan Stark sounds like my mom lmao I’m glad I got older
lets do a drug test also.
These Comments lmao
@@EvanStark1994... And takes you back to Walmart to return them
When Snoop Dogg passes you a blunt, you HAVE to smoke it.
When Tony Hawk tells you do a kickflip, you HAVE to do it.
but when Tony tells you if you wanna try the Kickflip on his board, you said "no thanks, I'm good"
Wackcat
dude im fuuucked, i cant do either
100% feel this an I'm not even a skater
even if snoop passes me a blunt I'd pass lol
I love sports so much that I watching a legend like Tony being so supportive to everyone makes me cry.
I'm not even a skater and I would lost my shit seeing Tony hawk! This was sad
Deadass, I skated a lot when I was a kid. Played Tony Hawk pro skater whenever I wasn't on my board, I would've lost my mind if he asked me to kickflip
Same lol
The girl who said no thanks was his daughter you idiots.
@@manaspradhan8041 who the hell mentioned the little girl??? Almost no one knew who Tony was
@@FirBurger98 ?? Most of them clearly recognised him but were cool about it
Damn Tony has the life. Worldwide famous, but will almost never get recognized or annoyed by randos in the street.
He could walk up to more people on the street who know who he is and not be recognized than recognized. Freedom from fanaticism is a great reward 👌
I would like to see him tell people he is Tony Hawk. I bet people won't believe it
How do they not know its him?? I would recognize him immediately. Tony is the GOAT
Being rich and famous for my achievements but unknown for my identity at the same time is my biggest dream.a
@@TritonTv69420 we're old.
Get used to it.
Tony: “Do a kick flip’”
Skater: “Holy S#%@“
Cracks me up every time 😂😂
The kid on the scooter recognized Tony inmediately. He had been waiting for this moment all his life, and when god drived by and commanded him to do a kickflip, he knew this was the moment.
And he honored the moment! 🙂
This should be a series. I want see Michael Jordan screaming at guys 'DUNK THE BALL!'

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant
What's an Americano?
Mike coffee!! He was an employee at the coffee shop, so since he couldn’t do a kick flip, he asked him to make him a coffee instead.
Haha that's his son Riley if anybody's wondering
Tony hawk "do a kickflip!"
*Random guy attempts kickflip and breaks ankle*
*Tony hawk drives off*
lol
And drives on his second ankle
😂😂
nomad with a camera my favorite 2019 comment so far 😂
I’m dead 😂
The three kids kick flipping on command was perfect.
You gota love that he gets psyched about anyone who try's regardless of their skill level.
He really loves the sport and is happy to see people put in the effort. Dude is wholesome as fuck.
That's what's skateboarding is all about.
@@dannywilliams3764 that and breaking bones on the regular😄
from someone who enjoyed skating but was never any good at it, id say most or all skaters are encouraging of others
I was always the pudgy kid but I remember the best times I had was when I tried to learn to skate. The older dudes at the park were super encouraging. It felt nice. I never learned to do a kick flip but I did makes a few good friends.
Tony: Hey do a kickflip
Guy: *promotes coffee shop*
Do a coffee lid.. flip
... it's Tony's son's coffee shop, so I'm pretty sure Tony's the one promoting it here. Riley Hawk is the guy who's asked to "do an Americano".
That’s the response of being an adult 😪
Love the fact that he's so supportive of everyone at any level. Even if they mess it up or they only do something seemingly basic for the first time, he still encourages them. Absolute legend.
btw u spelled "Congratulations" wrong.
Probky Bcuz he’s been there in the past. He remembers and knows the struggle. A lot of famous ppl r just given fame when they haven’t struggled n worked for it.
That part of the video made me so happy hes so nice to everyone 😭
of course :-D He is better than anyone so he could basically talk trash all day long to other skaters tell them they suck :-D But that is not the spirit. I have been a rollerblader in the past and there were some toxic amateurs in the scene. The pros usually are cool and down to earth. People with self esteem don`t have to prove anything.
imagine you fail a kickflip in front of tony hawk and he just cusses you out
Mr. Hawk .. the hero of our times .. I'm 61 and still mess with the kid at the mall showing off some tricks! :)
Imagine being the guy who didnt realize Tony hawk asked him to do a kickflip and kept going.
"Do a kick flip."
*Me, whips out my controller and presses Square + left*
Hahaha!
Agh good old ps1 Pro Skater 2
but how without ollie-ing

What up my fellow goofy rider
"Do a Kickflip"

Is Americano a drink? 😂

dude i love how supportive tony is to kids who dont make it on their first try or at all even tho hes literally the godfather of skateboarding basically
that One kid doing a Bar spin is the real mvp, and the 3 kids doing Kick flip flawless
Ikr? He recognized immediately.
great people recognize greatness..
the three kids hitting a kickflip looked like it was choreographed
He literally double takes, cursed and wanted to prove himself so bad and he did a perfect bar spin
That dude said HOLYSHIT lmao
Tony hawk: “do a kickflip!” Most common reaction: *Holy shit*
If Tony hawk asks you to do a kick flip. You drop everything and do a motherfukin kickflip.
I would. I've never even touched a skateboard, but I still would.
@@SkwidToast exactly. I don't skate either. But I damn well will eat shit to attempt a kick flip if Tony Hawk asks me to. That's the law bro.
You do a kick flip till you blow a hole in your shoes and your toes start to bleed.
Grew up watching Tony Hawk and its just awesome to see just how much he loves the entire sport. The man is an absolute legend and yet never let it go to his head. Now he goes out and just wants to see the sport and these kids to succeed.
80% of the world knows tony hawk
1% would notice him on the street
YSN i think this video just disproved that figure, pretty sure 99 percent of these people knew who he was on the street
@@ohigedid91xbox9 1% is close to 8 M. people. And he's riding in his neighborhood.
What about the 19%
luis cerrizuela they don’t know tony hawk
Julius Beržinis 1% is much more than 8m more like over 80m since their is around 6-7 billion people
"Yo! Do a kickflip!"
"I can't do that."
"Do ANY flip!"
Does a kickflip anyway.
Vegetarian Soylent Green he said double flip
Edit: and the other guy said “really a double flip?” That conversation never happened
When Tony said "do any flip" I thought form1 sec dude was about to do a backflip
The guy he was talking to is a pro skateboarder you should know that

As someone who was all in the skater culture in high school in the early 2000s this video made me tear up a bit. Those were the mf days
How do you live in San Diego, have a skateboard and not know who Tony Hawk is??
Be young, live in san diego. see the older kids skating. and never talk about any pro skaters and go all 'i wanna do that too.'
@@fatcatsnuggleparty4272 Never played a video game, used a cell phone, watched television, used the internet, had friends.

I mean of course i know who is tony hawk but i probably not recognize him
Tony Hawk: Do a kickflip!

Do they still make those? Kids these days probably don't know what they are. I used to use my school i.d. when i would forget my tech deck at home lol. Good times.
I'm dead 😂😂
i can't even do a kick flip on one of those
Never could skate but this guy got me into watching others and into the video games. What an awesome guy.
I love how proud he was of everyone, so much positivity and love. Tony Hawk is the fucking man
So true, I get such a good vibe from this video
Very positive 👍. Really nice.
There aren't many celebrities you should allow your kids to look to as role models, but Tony Hawk is one of the few.
yeah i'm not a skater at all, but he's the daddy of skateboarding
he's a superman!
Imagine just hanging out skating and then suddenly Tony Hawk driving up and yelling "DO A KICKFLIP" at you
I can’t kickflip (my excuse is that I’m primarily a vert skater lmao) but I’d do it in 0.2 seconds if the birdman himself appeared to me in the flesh 😂 I wanted to be him when I was a kid, so the fact that so many people didn’t recognize him boggles my mind
@@kylecurran6747 To be fair humans do look fairly alike

I'd imagine it would kinda be a relief tho. Going from so fucking popular no one ever leaves you alone, to no one recognizing you.
@@Ben-he6px my thought exactly.it must be a fucking trip and a relief at the same time. Tony was larger than life for a long while
My fav is when people say he looks like Tony Hawk and he goes with it.
He probably prefers it tbh its easier to do even the simple things in life when people don’t instantly notice your a celebrity
with everything i see about tony hawk i become more convinced that he's a chaotic good trickster god
this was fun and wholesome, but imagine you're just learning how to skate and you have tony hawk cheering you on
Sadly most of the younger kids dont know who he is
How did he get so famous? I couldn't recognize or even name any other skateboarder right now, if my life depended on it.
@@CastroEulis145 He is also known for being, if I'm not mistaken, the first documented person to land a 900... He did it at an X-game 99'.

Imagine anything you do as a beginner and having one of the GOATs come and motivate you...
like Jordan telling you you can score a 3-pointer and doing it or Tiger Woods cheering for your X-yard put or Michael Jackson showing you some dance moves or David Copperfield being impressed with a magic trick you just learned...
This video earned a like for the kid on the scooter.
Clutch. So clutch.
1:05 That was Oliver Tree
Could u imagine your hero telling u to do a kickflip, landing it, then him giving u a gift. Awesome. Bless ya Tony
You are an absolute legend Tony. Grew up as a kid watching you. You are the reason I started skating and playing your video games. Here I am 2 days before my 40th Birthday and you are still giving me that mindset that I can put my mind to anything I do.
skateboarder: "my buddy who does muscular release therapy is having dreams about doing body work on you"
tony hawk: "I'll avoid him" 🤣
who else thought that guy was chris cole
Don't think his buddy was meaning it that way, he's probably just very into his field of work and skateboarding and is just like can you imagine if Tony Hawk was your patient lol, but yeah hopefully Tony Hawk avoids that, he's getting on now, the last thing he needs is more mega injuries.
that shit was so awkward
@@danny1ft1 oh for sure, no hate, it was off the cuff funny comeback is all. hawk quite quick witted

Not me, skateboarding is like riding a bike, give me like 5 minutes and I'll get it down again.

guy knowing this is not eric koston but bill gates: "aight.."
Kind of sad that most of these kids don't seem to know who Tony Hawk is. He's like the Michael Jordan of skateboarding...and I don't even skateboard.
Its because they're seeing him out of context (which is part of how we recognize many peeople we've never met. They've use to seeing pictures / videos of him skating (and younger), but they're not use to seeing him inside a car from a distance.
@@CounterFleche I definitely would not have noticed. If anything, I'd think his voice sounded familiar
