Imagine getting a notification that Tony Hawk replied to your question 7 years later...
And it's not an official account so you'll probably think it's fake
so stoked
at least he replied,
with fake accnt, XD
They made the account, but never actually replied to anyone. Just added a sound effect and moved on to the next question.
@@WeiSwan you looked it up or just saying that?
I love how Tony Hawk is constantly doing press for no reason
he's a retired dad
Lol no way I found LLusion here, I love your lofi lol
JMSVids12 😂🙏🏻 LOVE YOU THANK YOU
There's a rumor that a new pro skater is gonna be announced soon, this lines up too well
Its probably because of his foundation or whatever he talked about, building skate parks
He’s like the internet’s cool dad
*Grampa 😏😁
4:13
You said it dude.
More like every skater’s cool dad. He’s only in his early 50’s.
Devon Salazar he is my fav cool dad
If someone ever makes you feel bad about yourself, just remember Tony Hawk was bullied for skating
And now you will instantly be the cool guy if you tell them you're skating
@@likeitraf not in the south though
Everybody who skated before 2000 got bullied for it.
@@joshbarth9469 why I always thought skating was for the cool kids atleast that's always been my perception of it.
@@jasonmatthews4449 Maybe now, but not 20-25 years ago.
The fact that he thought Facebook has a weird vibe just makes him even cooler.
*It's 2019 and Tony Hawk content is blowing up on youtube. What a time to be alive*
Ikr.
And a couple of days ago I started with skateboarding lol
@SwitchRich oplypic effect?
Olympics committee paying for media coverage
@SwitchRich i was under the impression it was being replaced by scooters and netflix etc by the new generation. but yeah its still out there, still going strong.
sadly he never actually replied to anyone
They should make a “Tony Hawk Goes Undercover in Real Life But Doesn’t Wear a Disguise Just Walks Around and Doesn’t get Recognized “
There's a video of him driving around yelling "do a kickflip" at random skaters and it's actually pretty surprising how many of them don't know who he is.
Or the story of him at airport security and the agent comments how his name is like the skate boarder but doesn't realise.
@@tnexus13 That was pretty funny when he told that story.
Or, even crazier, we make a GQ video of him going undercover by answering things on his real screen name.
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 a lot of persons in that video was kids so maybe was that
Dude they actually named a real person after that popular skating game.
xD made me laugh :D
I smell a woosh
Turok?
No you moron, They named the GAME after a real person.
People these days..... 🤣🤣🤣
Kikster sammmmme
"are you tony hawk" yes, "why", i don't know.
my favorite tweet of all time
His little rant and anecdote about Wikipedia was hilarious.
He's not wrong though. Although, what you can edit really depends on the article (e.g. if it's protected etc.). Sometimes it feels I'm denied of adding legitimate information because one old source is now contradicting my edit and then sometimes I can make people's nicknames up by myself.
@@Nikkeloodeon there was a german politician with a long as name (someone with aristocrat background into the middleages or sth), who had a name with like 7-8 "words" in it. and someone edited 2 more into it and nobody noticed for some time, until a newspaper falsely used the wrong wikipedia name there xD
@@Nikkeloodeon True. Wiki is full of mods who think they know best about everything, and love playing kings*** cop. Pretty much like every forum I've ever been on, and every other user policed platform that exists.
Too many self riotous opinions and not enough logic, reason or facts.
It's part of why I no longer use forums, chat rooms, reddit, or pretty much any social sites.
The fact that I can't stand people most of the time being the bigger reason.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy oh yes. And the German wikipedia is far worse than the English one. Its a handfull of Mods there who have a god knowitall complex.
They deny stuff no matter how many good sources you've got.
Like when the plans for the WTC rebuild, where just simply ignored the official announcements of what they are going to build, even when they already started the construction....
@@Nikkeloodeon my experience with editing wikipedia is that for every subject there are a handful of overzealous gatekeepers constantly sterilizing the content according to their own definition of what is acceptable.
Why does he look 50 and 27 at the same time lmfaooo
that haircut
Probably because he's extremely in-shape and has a youthful haircut.
bra if you look like that at 27 you need to lay off the meth
He loves his life and spends everyday doing stuff he enjoys and ages well because of it.
He's active and healthy, and has been lucky to not have too much of a receding hairline.
The way he said "Facebook" is the way I feel about Facebook
omg i hate facebook too
Same here
Facebook is literally the most toxic social platform. Hate it
Senor_Onion yeah I caught that xD
facebook is just boring and for old people, twitter for me is definitely the most toxic place to be, but all you have to do is stay on the fun side of twitter and you’re good.
The first reply is to a 7 year old tweet. That kid is all grown up now, Tony.
I mean...honestly it would still be super cool if they still are active on that account lol.
@@JTBivens i'm still active on my 11-year-old twitter lmao. (not made when i was 11 years old lol, it was an account made ELEVEN YEARS AGO lol so in 2009.)
what if they asked it when they were like 7 and are now 14
@@ihatemickiegee oh no, 2009 was 11 years ago :'(
@@winterkeptuswarm 12. It's been a year since that answer. =(
When tony answers whether he's a top or bottom
I truly enjoy how humble and eloquent Tony is. He seems like a good guy doing his beat to bless others as he has been blessed. Mucho respect
"I'm not a grandpa"
Continues to correct spelling of grandpa
He is one of the Grandpa of skateboarding though. Guys like Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen made skateboarding cool when they made the Bones Brigade skate video back in the 1980s
@@hashslingingslasher2032 he's more like the dad of skateboarding if we're talking grandpas I'd look more towards the z boys
I know, loved that so much.
Tony's nicknames:
Hawkman
Birdman
Riley's Dad
bagel bites
Elder Hawk
Bagel boy
And Grampa
PhaseSkater b4gel
He is a great role model. Love how he answers questions and talks about himself.
He is the entire reason I started skateboarding 20 years ago at the age of 7 years old and still skate to this day and actually own a skateboard company
matt tennyson what company
Thank you Matt very cool
@Jason Hernandez how do you know
What company?
@Jason Hernandez Why just automatically assume dude was lying? People in the world do actually own skateboarding companies. I would assume someone that owns a company would also have access to CZcams and the ability to create an account...
There’s no one cooler than tony hawk. Legend
Rodney Mullen is a god that put skateboarding on the map before Tony did
You are right Jonathan.
Tony hawk is the type of down to earth that you feel like you know him and he's taking directly to you.
dafuuuq, fighstar fan? Let's go
Tony is trying to do a whole 900 with these questions 🤔
Tony sounds like hes still 16y/o
“This sounds like it could have a double entendres...” hahahahaha
Omg I’m still laughing... when he goes “...10 x 52 x 42... what’s that?” And looks off camera 😂😂😂
well, grampa wasn't mispelled -> gRAMPa
3:10 Tony Hawk just vibe checked Facebook.😂
Despite loving THPS 2 so much, the first one still has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game.
Wynner3 superman!
Yeah! That game introduced me to punk music
I would repeat New Girl over and over.
Tony is such an amazing being , i respect him so greatly as a person who doesnt ever let ego get him and hes incredibly insightful. What a guy.
This made me happy af bc Hawk was and still is my Idol
”When the money comes in, the respect goes out, as we say in Sweden.” As a Swede, I can’t recall ever hearing that before.
Wow dude, you look a lot like Tony Hawk!
and bill gates
Jonathan Sosa that is tony hawk dumb fuc
@@dukeducan3669 no u
IKR
Duke Ducan that went right over your head.
Love all the content Tony is putting out! I hope there's a documentary (soon?) regarding the pro skater games!
I always enjoy these videos with Tony, thank you GQ
4:40 Tony Hawk confirned vers
Exactly what I thought!
vertsatile
I love his interviews so much I just love how he answers questions 🥺🥺🥺💗
Tony Hawk looks and acts like how I imagine an old Peter Parker would
Funnily enough and Tony hawk's Pro Skater 2 him and Chad muska got to cosplay Spider-Man while vert skating in his video when you complete his career mode
So in a way he was Spider-Man
Tony Hawk is the dude of dudes. He constantly supports skating, understands where he is, but has the humbleness to always give tips to a skater of any level. There is no one else alive in my opinion that pushes an art/sport as hard as he does, but also understands the level the art form is. Tony Hawk is a legitimate legend, and would not accept being called one. I love you Tony Hawk.
Saw tony hawk answer questions clicked the like button instantly thanks GQ
I'm glad Tony's favorite game is Pro Skater 2. That's always been my favorite of the series, it really took all the aspects of the first game and just took it to all new levels. It really just did everything right.
There is no one on earth cooler than Tony Hawk, 👏 down. His book ‘Hawk occupation skateboarder” is amaze
I can watch him talking for 25,000 hours
Legend in every sense of the world. Thank you skateboarding
Tony Hawk seems like such a nice and chill guy.
Old skater here... 80s & 90s.... love how THPS2 is Tony's fave - it was the turning point of skateboard videgames. Most important skateboarding game along with SKATE...
I love that his favorite Tony Hawk game is #2. It may not have the manual ability to keep a run going indefinitely like in #3, but it's the one that I grew up on though and it's my personal favorite. It's a bit slower than #3 and for me it feels just right.
Still dreamy! Still sharp! So much respect for him and all he's accomplished.
I never got into skating but i did hang out with a few and they were some of the chillest people i have ever known
“Chasing kids too”
*PAUSE*
I’m here not because I love skateboarding, I am here because Tony is so charismatic
This was amazing. Please protect him at all costs
He’s so important. He’s the reason I begged for a skateboard for my birthday and then gave it up after two months.
“Undercover”
_uses account name Tony Hawk_
because if he uses "@tonyhawk ✓" then people will believe it. no one ever believes an unverified "Actually[CelebName]" account tweet/response lmao
I’m 40 and haven’t seriously touched a skateboard in 25 years. Still drawn to anything Tony Hawk and X-Games. I can remember how skateboarding was before both.
“Bullied” *rolls eyes 😂😂
Such a cool dude, always wanted to meet him!
Ability wise probably not the best skater ever but he is such a great spoke person and ambassador for skating. I'm glad he's the skater that has the most attention and the most marketed, can't think of a better dude.
I'd love to see Tony enter a comp at 51.
Tony hawk is still the coolest after all these years
Next up: Tony Hawk works as an assistant manager at a Hotdog On A Stick for a week.
Toney Hawk is awesome 🤣 I'm glad he is still as cool and nice as when I was growing up
Tony Hawk...keepin' it real!
they say if you want to master anything it takes 10,000 hours. Tony calculated 25k hours that's insane huge props to that dedication.
Do a kickflip!
heres sum headphones
"This is a question people actually ask?" *As Tony Hawk answers that very question. Now you know why people ask
Tony is such a cool posterboy for skateboarding
I love his answer to the best skater
Tony Hawk goes "undercover" with his real name. How is that undercover?
People would think it's a fake account 👌
@@devibenpatel1933 really, bc that is the name he usually uses.
@@bonphone4222 its probably more on the fact that most celebrities dont reply to tweets or interact on social media, and if they do its probably someone hired specifically manage their social media or they are being guided or advised on what to say. Him being "undercover" is more like people probably dont know it's actually him answering these until they see the video.
@@Kevinthewoman and there's no verified check to let people know it's really him.
@@CamJames AND there are tons of fan or troll accounts of celebrities that say "actually[CelebrityName]" who actively use the account and no one ever in history will assume it's them because, it's usually not. it's why twitter, ig, facebook and so on created verification ahaha
(this was my reply to the person, just as an addition to yours obv)
Last quote was talk not jutsu beast mode " i just never quit"
"I'm not a grandpa yet"
Well you are the Grandfather of skateboarding and to everyone who skates. 🤣
If I could ask, my question would be “Tony, do you really type that fast?”
Tony Hawk is so literal and serious about semantics.
6:08 "Well, you SKI thes big ramps" lmao wtf who wrote this
Amazing content. Congratulations Tony Hawk.
Tony Hawk goes 'Underground'...
He's still got it; so awesome.
Tony hawk: no ones the fastest runner
Usain bolt: am I a joke to you
Hawk was specifically speaking about skateboarding. And there is no objectiv scaling for it. You don't have something measurable like speed, time, heigh or distance in it. Of course there is a fastest one in sprinting.
Do you notice how much this dude looks like Tony Hawk, the skateboarder?
My favourite was tony hawk underground 2 when I was a kid ❤️😂
Lol. Him responding to the question of skateboarding ruining the Olympics is the meanest this man gets.
I love that even at 50+ he is still a teen and has not changed his lingo lol. I love it. Hope he never changes. Would love to see him enter another tournament.
I went down the Tony hawk rabbit hole and don't regression it for even a second
Who else wants to see Tony land a 900 after cashing a social security check
You're the man Tony!!
Tony here looks just as the resulting fusion between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Larusso
Love and respect to the humble goat👍❤️
THANK YOU, GQ, FOR BRINGING THE BEST COOLEST DAD OF THE HOLE WORLD TO MY FEED!
thanks. great edit!
changed his tune on the olympics question pretty quick...
Makes me strangely sad to know that the closest thing we have to the next Tony Hawk is Nyjah
0:45 Has rhe same favorite Tony Hawk games as me
Instead of coming out to my parents as bi, I'll just play 5:01 😂
😏♋
I like how Tony Hawk always says he started skateboarding when skateboarding wasn't popular. What he forgets to say is that his father was the president of some skateboarding Association which gave him the opportunity to skate at Skate Parks everyday. A few years after that they tore down all the skateparks. In my opinion Tony Hawk was born at the perfect time for skateboarding.
10:08 My money is on Carlos Lastra!!
Lastra is a beast!!!
So glad he didn't say "the 900"- the full pipe is a real response.
Tony Hawk Underground 2 will always be my favorite!! Make another!
Deandre His contract expired with activision
Thug 1 for me. Storyline was epic, maps were even better.
4:14 tony is Walaugi confirmed
I just threw away my skateboard of like 20 years old and now all these Tony Hawk videos come out
Mr. Tony Hawk in the Gq house!
They should have called it "Tony Hawk Goes Underground"
