This moment was like Goku turning Super Saiyan for the first time. Yes, the 900 doesn't have the same legendary status anymore and there are those who've surpassed it but this moment was the first and it gave birth to a legend to such a degree that those who know nothing of skating know the name Tony Hawk as the "skateboarding guy". A legend was born in this moment and will live on for as long as people have the desire to skate.

People get married & babies are born every single day. There's only one time when someone does something for the very first time in the history, and this was Tony's. So yes, the greatest day of his life. Totally understand that!
Watching this all the way through, what's most impressive to me that he took all those hard tumbles, but kept throwing himself back into it, never got discouraged. I don't know many people who could perform as well under such high expectations. The man embodies perseverance as much as skill, deserves to be called a legend.

Tony said in a podcast he didn't care about breaking something. Land or slam he was going for it. This was the best ramp he had been on to that point and he felt good. He also said on this ramp he saw the landing point for the first time instead of blindly putting the board on the wall.
in a review of skateboarding in movies... tony himself said he wouldn'T have gone that far for the 900... he says, the crowd is wild, the crowd is the reason most pro skaters does it. they pick you up when you need it and when it comes down to it... you end up wanting to do it for them and not yourself. he said the crowd made him power through that moment. to see it in action though, you can actually see the moment he decided to do it whatever the cost.
I was a teenager and heavy into skating at this time. I remember watching it live on my little tube tv in my bedroom and losing my mind. Watching it now takes me back. What a moment in time for the skateboarding community. Tony will always be a legend.
"When I finally made one it just felt like a huge relief. It was more like- I can put that one to rest. No more getting hurt on that" His words in 2019 on the 900.
The street skater in me is ashamed I dissed vert for so many years. Vert is gorgeous and this is PURE VERT! Balls out skating that no-one else can comprehend. I love Tony, he's a true inspiration.
Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist, and those guys were Tony's competition and look how much they loved and wanted to see Tony land the 900. That's the definition of sportsmanship.
That's a crazy moment in skateboarding that may not happen ever again. To have the whole world care that much about something that happened in skateboarding....unreal.
Seth Seth True but this is really unique. Crazy shit happens in skateboarding and other extreme sports all the time. It's just unreal to think how THAT many people cared about this one thing. It's weird but really cool that for some reason people were that interested in seeing someone land a 900.
It's a ripple effect. I first learned about this guy trough games. Combined with the positive energy he emulates when I first saw him was more than enough to get me interested in to something I didn't care before at all. Heck I even tried to skateboard for a few years.
I've replied to several posts about this specific comment that Tony made, and I've always said that anyone can get married and have kids. It happens hundreds of times a day all over the world. But to do something for the first time ever in history, that's truly iconic. I side with Tony on that comment.
@@ryanshimabukuro3283 People that think its some kind of success to marrie and have a child are insulting these kinds of people that work their fuckin ass of and give their blood and sweet to achieve a true success. I wouldnt even apologize for saying what he did.

I remember the day watching this on TV. A buddy of mine was a real skate nut and managed to get tickets to this and watched in person. I only watched on TV to see if I could see my buddy on TV and record it for everyone here. Watching it and seeing him fail time after time, I thought HE AIN'T NEVER GONNA MAKE IT. At that time everybody thought that was just an impossibility, too difficult for a human to land. Then when he made it I was just STUNNED! Friends of mine were stunned and amazed. In retrospect I kind of wished I did go with him. An incredible day for skateboarding.
This to me is the ultimate example as to why Tony Hawk is a legend. His fury, his skill, his relentless determination. He is to skating, what Elvis Presly is to music. The King.
I watched this live when I was in middle school..now I turn 36 years old tomorrow, have an 11 year old daughter and another baby on the way..life flys by
Tony Hawk, thank you for inspiring so many of us, we love skateboarding so much, and you inspire us by your philanthropy and activities around the sport.❤

Yup. I remember watching it in my room and my dad not knowing I was already watching it called me into the living room to see it. He left it on the TV and I can still remember him sitting in his recliner and me standing there watching Tony land it live. Him landing that was crazy back in the day.
I never tried skateboarding although i think it's one of the coolest things out there. I just found this video by chance and im glad i did. I had heard of Tony Hawk before but i never knew how great he actually is. And by seeing the comments here, i can say that the skateboarding community looks really awesome and genuine. Its making me want to try it some day... Keep it up people❤️, and tony, you're a 🐐
Whatching this in 2022, ... Drop some tears, having goosebump. You realize that jackson is the king of pop, chester is the king of rock, and Tony hawk is the king of Skateboard ❤️💙
Best day isn't doing the 900, or having a wife and kid. Best day is doing the 900 with your wife, kid, and all your friends there, and having it all come together in one place at the same time, opening the door for letting you do what you love for the rest of your life.
when he gets interviewed at the end, his first response is to say "if it weren't for you people, i would never've made that. thank you." i think that just sums him up perfectly. his first response isn't to big himself up, or even congratulate himself, it's to sincerely thank the crowd and fans first and foremost. just shows what an amazing guy he is
I remember watching this on eXtreme tv. I was in 5th grade and it was like a montage I just couldn't belive it was real. Tony thank you for everything.
Never watched skateboarding, I only played the game lol and Bucky was guy on that shit lol. So this is what bought the legendary pro skater series out? Such a legend tony is man. I’m a black kid from the urban city, never gave a fuck about skateboarding. This my first time even seeing this, but I def used to rent pro skater from blockbuster back in the day.
And WoWeee you are so KooL! Keep on that skateboard you’re grate. Gives me goosebumps to watch. Such a youngster fly off that ramp I’m scared for you, but at the same time I’m excited and hope that you landed it. Wow I can’t believe what I just witnessed. You definitely are going places in life.

I still can’t believe I was actually alive to witness this live on TV when I was a kid. It is absolutely insane how revolutionary this moment was for the entirety of the skateboard community. Then on top of that the video game that came along with it. The game even helped merge two music communities (punk rock/rap) and helped us all discover new music in a new light. I was never into hip hop till Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 came out. For real tho this is an absolutely unreal moment in sports history. I still get goosebumps every time I come to revisit this video. And I’ve never skateboarded in my life lol
At the 2:00 mark, you can see in his eyes that he wasn’t going to leave without accomplishing his goal and the intensity & focus continues to grow with each attempt. One of the greatest sports moments I’ve ever seen!! Tony Hawk = 🐐
Hell yeah, man I've felt like that before rolling away on something big when I skateboard, and obviously it was no where near this accomplishment. Everyone who has skated has had this "in the zone" moment when you feel like that trick is going to go down no matter what. It's amazing and why I still pick up a board every once in a while in my frail old age of 34.

And not everyone had a camera in their pocket. They were all in the moment since there wasn't a distraction in their hands. If you had a camera you spent a lot for it and chances are someone behind you was angling to steal it.
I remember the air was so tick. We couldn’t even breath because of the anticipation. We all knew he was gonna land it. It was just a matter of time. Watching it live was one of the greatest feelings ever.
Tony Hawk is such a wonderful skater that inspired many. I use to skate years ago as a kid and It was fun crazy times. Every sport has a cool guy that comes to mind and Tony Hawk is that cool guy when it comes to skateboarding. Cool video. ^_^
Tony Hawk: lands the 900
Everyone: QUICK TOUCH HIS HEAD AND ABSORB HIS POWER WHILE HE'S RADIATING

Tony Hawks pró skate.

Nintendo logo will be good
Also, the big bulky shoes. Boy I miss those.
Gabriel Bautista Fuck you
Come back and watch this often. Iconic moment, makes me tear up a bit
Awesome.
Best was the kiss for his son Riley and the end. Sucking up all the skate energy as a baby ♥
This is the original "hold my beer" moment
Hold my tequila
@@dakotahmccormick3093 and hold my bag of limes... why....for all the women we are about to party with.. this will be epic either way
That was Jackass
Yeahhh HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
My little 13 year old self was in that crowd, never forget that moment for suuure

And you are in his age now on that vid

Those falls... dude takes it like an absolute champ
It took 20 years for someone to beat this. Hawk is the man
it's been 4 years and this LEGEND is still liking comments
I watched this live when I was in middle school..now I turn 36 years old tomorrow, have an 11 year old daughter and another baby on the way..life flys by
wicked liquid should teach that daughter of yours to skate!
You’re having another kid at 36?! Oof
Similar scenario. I'm 33 and remember seeing this. It sure does man!
@@0.zaidae that's actually normal age for kids.
@@0.zaidae not everyone has them at 15 like you.
Now this.. this was the raw video I was looking for. Thanks Ryan!
You're welcome!
I remember watching this on the XGames, I was a teenager and screaming at the tv for him to land it !!!!! He is truly an inspiration to young people
Has a wife and baby. Best day of his life: landing the 900.
But its true. 🤔
Anyone can have a kid or a wife. Go blast a 900 on a ramp like that.
isn't he on like his 4th wife now?
@@FalconFlyer75 indeed.
The spiral was also quite an achievement
The 90's was a cool and unique era. It was basically when we reached our technological peak before we became consumed by it like we are now.
Very well said.
Very very very well said....but funny how we are using this very thing to impart are human brilliance.
In 2038 people will say the same thing about 10's
Well said
*says the one on youtube at 3 am... Oh wait...
Tony Hawk, thank you for inspiring so many of us, we love skateboarding so much, and you inspire us by your philanthropy and activities around the sport.❤
hey did you know that you dont have to perish and die in your own sins? Like your stealing, hating, lying, adultery, fornication, hate of GOD and of GOOD, well my friend, there is HOPE , GOD send HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to be crucified for your sins as THE BIGGEST SACRIFICE THAT COUNTS FOREVER AND EVER! ONE TIME FOR ALLTIME! After the SACRIFICE GOD raised JESUS from the death! If you get baptized in the name of the GOD the FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT and ask GOD for the GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, wich if you did means you GAINED EVERLASTING LIFE!
20 fucking years ago and we still remember how big this was. Damn I miss the late 90s early 2000s
Brandon G wish I was growing up back then lol
Yup. I remember watching it in my room and my dad not knowing I was already watching it called me into the living room to see it. He left it on the TV and I can still remember him sitting in his recliner and me standing there watching Tony land it live. Him landing that was crazy back in the day.
Me too man. Glad I grew up in those times. Smartphones really spoiled a lot of shit. People were way more connected back then. Ironic.
Everything was so different before 911
Man I would sell my soul to the devil just to get back to 90'-early 00'
“We weren’t live on TV. Could you do that again?”
Oml 😂
Tony: Ask me when I'm 48
That would be frustrating
I never tried skateboarding although i think it's one of the coolest things out there. I just found this video by chance and im glad i did.
I had heard of Tony Hawk before but i never knew how great he actually is. And by seeing the comments here, i can say that the skateboarding community looks really awesome and genuine. Its making me want to try it some day...
Keep it up people❤️, and tony, you're a 🐐
Whatching this in 2022, ... Drop some tears, having goosebump. You realize that jackson is the king of pop, chester is the king of rock, and Tony hawk is the king of Skateboard ❤️💙
I miss the 90s. People were so alive.
I would say that 1999 is more 00s than 90s
Mikael Cyr - that makes absolutely no sense but ok
@@downfromthereeefters it does lmao. Get your brain right
@@downfromthereeefters if you lived during that time it does, "back in the day before they put the crack in way"
Everyone’s dead now
Best day isn't doing the 900, or having a wife and kid. Best day is doing the 900 with your wife, kid, and all your friends there, and having it all come together in one place at the same time, opening the door for letting you do what you love for the rest of your life.
Truly poetic
Love this 🙏🏾
This!
Yesss thank you
Gay
stayed up to watch this moment. well worth it
This is why we’re alive. Whoever you are, whatever you do-take it all the way. Thank you, Tony.
when he gets interviewed at the end, his first response is to say "if it weren't for you people, i would never've made that. thank you." i think that just sums him up perfectly. his first response isn't to big himself up, or even congratulate himself, it's to sincerely thank the crowd and fans first and foremost. just shows what an amazing guy he is

Look at those legends..
Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Bob Burnquist, Andy McDonald and of course, the one and only, Tony Hawk.
Awesome!
😭😭😭😭😭
Dont forget david duncan
Mano... Só lendas mêsmo!
Never watched skateboarding, I only played the game lol and Bucky was guy on that shit lol. So this is what bought the legendary pro skater series out? Such a legend tony is man. I’m a black kid from the urban city, never gave a fuck about skateboarding. This my first time even seeing this, but I def used to rent pro skater from blockbuster back in the day.
You have forget Spongebob
Imagine waking up and saying, “i feel like landing a 900 today”
How weird to see you here lol
Hello girls
I feel like landing a 737 today
I never had landed a kick flip so I said, "I feel like landing a kickflip" and I never landed it
why are you in every comment section, I see you everywhere
And WoWeee you are so KooL!
Keep on that skateboard you’re grate. Gives me goosebumps to watch. Such a youngster fly off that ramp I’m scared for you, but at the same time I’m excited and hope that you landed it. Wow I can’t believe what I just witnessed. You definitely are going places in life.
I almost cried this was such a beautiful moment
What an absolute legend, even has a hotwheels logo on his helmet.

Not a legend just a skilled thief

This is the defenition of never give up. How they all willed and supported him to do it was special.
Skateboarding is magic. Still blows me away every single time I see it.
he was 31 when he did this, now hes 52 and did his last Ollie 540. damn who else feels like crying?
He just did another 900 when he was 48 too!
Definitely feels like longer than 20 years ago though :D Which is I guess a good thing
In more recent news, he just did his first kick-flip after breaking his femur in half by failing a McTwist.

Your motivational sentence for today: They are cheering not because hr did it, but because he kept on trying!!!
I thought the motivational sentence would be: "TONY HAWK 900, 900 TONY 900 HAWK! 900!"
Yeah. But also cause he did it lol
@@gminor6288 hit reply to same the exact same thing!
I still can’t believe I was actually alive to witness this live on TV when I was a kid. It is absolutely insane how revolutionary this moment was for the entirety of the skateboard community. Then on top of that the video game that came along with it. The game even helped merge two music communities (punk rock/rap) and helped us all discover new music in a new light. I was never into hip hop till Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 came out.
For real tho this is an absolutely unreal moment in sports history. I still get goosebumps every time I come to revisit this video. And I’ve never skateboarded in my life lol
The things this man has done will keep him at legend status for years to come.
I was four. My dad showed me this on a video tape. I began to skate. 18 years later I still do. He was an inspiration.
he's still alive my guy?? also epic about skating for 18 years, nice
I didn't know moogles could skateboard. Learn something new every day.
At the 2:00 mark, you can see in his eyes that he wasn’t going to leave without accomplishing his goal and the intensity & focus continues to grow with each attempt. One of the greatest sports moments I’ve ever seen!!
Tony Hawk = 🐐
he wouldn't leave that ramp no matter what until he made it that's for sure.
Lol yea he had that Kobe MJ look… now after seeing it believe in the GOAT gene
Hell yeah, man I've felt like that before rolling away on something big when I skateboard, and obviously it was no where near this accomplishment. Everyone who has skated has had this "in the zone" moment when you feel like that trick is going to go down no matter what. It's amazing and why I still pick up a board every once in a while in my frail old age of 34.
@@jonathanhorton528 exactly man it reminded me of that moment in the last dance where mj does that intense look into my eyes thing

Life lesson, even the best don't get it at the first time, it's not how many times you fall it's how many times you get back up
Ew
This was something I always remember from watching it live. To this day, I’m glad ESPN let it happened and aired the entire thing.
well, technically its also about how many times you fall
Thanks dad
Needed this
i love it how he never stopped trying. And how happy people were for him when he succeeded.
I love how in skating, although there are scores and a comp. They are all just friends enjoying each others success. Love it.
I love how all of the other pro skaters are celebrating with him and happy he landed. True brotherhood.

Back when there was no Red Bull sponsoring all kind of sports.
And not everyone had a camera in their pocket. They were all in the moment since there wasn't a distraction in their hands.
If you had a camera you spent a lot for it and chances are someone behind you was angling to steal it.
@@tarbosh917 yeah it was beautifull time
Tony didn't need Red Bull to give him wings.
Good times...

Love Tony's determination and attitude despite literally burning himself out🤌🏼
Its surreal to see a a crowd without phones in their hands!!
The commentators aren't even doing anything they are just screaming "TONY, TONY, TONY, 9,9,9,9,9,9 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and I love it
Cause they're too hype and don't know what to say anymore lol
My dad would of said something like “I could have done that”

Same lol
If your dad says that, tell him to do it. Prove it.
@@SanaSamaha it was a joke, shithead
I remember the air was so tick. We couldn’t even breath because of the anticipation. We all knew he was gonna land it. It was just a matter of time. Watching it live was one of the greatest feelings ever.
Tony Hawk is such a wonderful skater that inspired many. I use to skate years ago as a kid and It was fun crazy times. Every sport has a cool guy that comes to mind and Tony Hawk is that cool guy when it comes to skateboarding. Cool video. ^_^
