What a great fukking guy. Never heard a bad word said about him.

Guy lands at 900 at age 48 after all those nagging injuries. You see how frustrated he is taking an absolute beating landing on his back trying to nail this fuking move.

I need to dig up those ps2 games and play through them all over again. Best game ever even for people like me who never got good at skateboarding.

Blows my mind how a 6’3 guy with a top heavy body weight can be so damn good at vert style skateboarding.

I don't know how he can keep pile driving himself into a halfpipe over and over. That slam at 1:20 was gnarly af and he still tried again and eventually landed it. There'll never be another Tony Hawk. Absolute legend.

Also check this out if you haven't seen it.

Had a drink with him down in Carlsbad (srs), guy was cool as fuk, but have since heard that he was a total dick by the locals. Always thought Hosoi had way more style

Absolute legend. Watched his new documentary on HBO Max "until the wheels fall off" it's pretty good

Got THPS 1 + 2 on sale for PS4 the other day, fun games, legendary games. Tony put skateboarding on the map for sure.

I’m gonna check it out ASAP.

I’ll never feel bad for a guy with 150 mill but I wonder if he’s disappointed in the current state of California in comparison to what it was like as a kid. Or maybe he stays insulated and far away from skid row.
