  • X-Games Vert Best Trick 1999, including Hawk's 900.
    This was rescued from dodgy old VHS tapes.
    This is from an old Saturday morning show called RAD, which was on in the late 1990's to early 2000's.

      The understood the importance of him landing it. It's one trick they knew would never cost them a gold in a skate contest or anything, but it put skateboarding on the map. Definitely one of the biggest moments in the history of sports. That trick elevated the sport to insane heights.

    I remember watching this live. Man I'm getting old. IMO one of the best events in sports history. People have no idea how incredibly damnably impossible a 900 was on a vert ramp in the 90's. Most couldn't even rip a 720. And then a legend does the impossible in front of other legends.
    Legendary.

      I know I'm a year late but this isn't true. The game only came out 2 months later. It was already fully developed with his name on it. They actually had to add the trick in. This just helped boost publicity and sales massively, and happened to be impeccable timing not only for Tony and Neversoft, but for anyone that stood to make money of the game. Absolute fairytale.

    For anyone they seen this live on tv, ESPN played it on tape delay. It was filmed earlier and edited down for time constraints. Otherwise the word "Live" would appear in the corner. The 2002 Winter X-Games were the first to receive live coverage on the network. The only way you saw it unfold in real time is if you have a ticket stub for that date
