#skateboarding #tonyhawk #shorts - Zábava
I love that even in his 50’s, Tony still sounds like he’s 19.
I love that you love to love that
He seriously reminds me of Johnny Lawrence haha
Nah he sounds like he's 28
Reminds me of that Twisted Sister video where Dee Snider is defending his music. He mentions that he's "terminally a teenager" which I think is a cool way of putting it.
I can't believe he's in his 50's now
"How much you make?"
**Laughs in overwhelming success**
Savage...
🤣🤣💀💀💀
That’s how you do it
Folks shouldn’t their noses where they don’t belong
S/o ric flair
Woo!
@@inextinguishablemoltenblooded thats so true “folks shouldn’t their noses”
@@NOCALLERID-vg1rl guess the missing word correctly for the fun of it
You have one attempt
Begin !
Tony Hawk defined a generation, and he deserves every bit of that money. What a genuinely awesome dude
Also a good athletic guy
Xgames Live,when Tony did that 900 was the beginning of the movement
Not really. He's awesome but 99% of skaters aren't vert skaters.
him and Rob Dyedrek ( i probably spelled that wrong but you know who i'm talking about lol )
@@FightingSportsMediacan you skate like him or do even a fraction of the tricks he can ?
never skated once in my life but i’ve always had the upmost respect for Tony.
utmost
Lol
That sucks.
Super corny
@@user-ev4xd4nf2g ok
He deserves every penny! Tony Hawk is a Legend! His games made me love skateboarding! 💜
Yes mate!
@@kalvenzander4710 I remember I set up a bunch of loops in a row as a child and I got extremely sick from it. Lol great times.
@@kalvenzander4710 do y’all remember the tony hawk underground games?
Not actual skateboarding... SMFH your generation is fucked
i love finding his brand at the thrift
Without his name, it wouldn’t have sold nearly as much so well deserved
For a lot of kids, those games were the first time hearing his name. But even so, it's hard to believe a Bob Burnquist's Pro Skater or Rodney Mullen's Pro Skater would've had the same cultural impact.
@@Comrade.Question Rodney mullan maybe because he was such a unique skater and incredibly skilled. I think Tony performing the 900 really helped push his name out there too
True but really the success was a huge storm of a lot of things coming together all around the same time and Tony was the right guy and in the right place at the right time. Xgames came out not too long before which got more kids into skating. He did the first 900 in competition making history. Skateboarding was making a comeback from being completely dead since the 80s. Playstation was revolutionizing video games at the time and more and more kids had game consoles at home rather than before when arcades were all the rage. Everything in the universe seemed to just come together perfectly for Tony Hawk to have one of the most popular games of all time.
@@jimjamthebananaman1 I remember playing Dave mirras freestyle bmx growing up too, so fun
I only knew the name because of the game lol
Those first couple of games and their soundtracks will live forever
Ace of spades intensifies
When he did that first 900, it was one of the greatest moments for all skating. Dude deserves every penny.😊
Pappas bros documentry on Netflix ..was bit of help for him I think
@@user-wh6uf1kz4rnah that documentary is just propaganda for Pappas. There's more to the story.
P for pappas it’s a pappas party 🥳🤷🏾♂️
@@user-wh6uf1kz4r 🐑
He still fucking did it though lads ahha
The way he whispered “ how much you make off that tony hawk game” 😂
Didn’t even look him in the eye lmao
his whole demeanour is preparing to be defeated lmao
He looks angry as fuck tbh idk why hahaha. Like he's just done with everyones shit
Cuz he knows that shit was gonna be overwhelming to take in 🤣
@Drill Dargenson that’s how he is In every podcast, this is a skateboarding podcast
He's like the oldest and nicest teenager on the planet
😂😂😂
This is ageism enjoy report for hate speech
RIP Dick Clark :D
Facts 😂😂 … I’ve been seeing Em a lot lately 🔥😂
him and rob dyrdek are the coolest old teenagers🤣🔥
He's such a grounded and humble person. When he was brought out to the 2005 GameStop Manager's Conference during the Activision hospitality lunch, he walked out on stage and got a standing ovation. He choked and stumbled on his words, stopped, wiped his eyes for a second, and started over with "I didn't expect that from you guys" to which we all gave him another applause after which he started going into the features of Underground 2 which was set to launch later that October.
When the man says the games changed his life, he means it
Lies
@@LexSteele-bo5qi No?
@@LexSteele-bo5qi Dude it sucks that your life stinks. But people have been successful forever.
He asking the real questions 😂
Excellent questions
I appreciated him asking this. We would have never known that
He made skateboarding feel accessable to the mainstream, he's a legend on and off a skateboard.
The FIRST GUY asked as if Tony stole from him and he wants to know what he's lost
Undeniable.
skateboarding literally is accessible to the mainstream
@@mylodelrey6520 yeah but it hasn't always felt that way, i remember i would use the games and those intro videos to learn tricks when i first started. Seeing the documentary with him as a kid showed me that anyone can do it. Before that it seemed like when you see a world champion and think you could never do that so you don't try. Rodney Mullen still has that feeling when i watch his old videos.
@@mylodelrey6520 now it is
Tony Hawk: Underground had a story I really, and to this day, remember fondly.
THUG>THPS
I wish they’d remaster it like they did the Pro Skaters
Underground was the best one
Underground was 100% the best one and I loved then all
Underground was really unique and fun
His contact went back to his boss like "that sucker took the check."
my favorite part was when activision said cod and codded all over the place
The way he asked him 😂😂😂😂
"Classics Mode" I think he meant "Greatest Hits".
He sure did
He most likely means Platinum, at least in the UK on the PS1, every game that hit Platinum was only £20
@@gazzer2kuk Which is the exact same thing as Greatest Hits
they call it differently in every country. Saying “classics mode” generalizes the concept for everyone to understand.
that feeling when you see the red on the side and you know you can afford it
Tony Hawk seems like such a good guy. Never involved in controversy, never involved in scandal, still kicking it well into his 50s, has a reputation of regular philanthropy with kids specifically and never went off the rails or got involved in anything untoward. No one ever has a bad word about the man and he seems to have stayed humble throughout.
And all of that's on TOP of his enormous career doing something he loves. What an inspiration man.
Spot on mate.
damn, I never even put much thought into how rare this actually is, so true
Correction:
“ still kick flipping it!”
I came here to say something similar, you got it covered though. 😅
Ohh you sorry thing, you haven't heard about the huge controversy he was involved in...
He asked the question like “that fking game” 😂
Pro skater 3 will always be my favorite. The people i played it with. The soundtrack, customization, and just the sheer joy of playing. What an amazing franchise.
This makes me picture Tony skating to a bank holding one of those giant checks!
On the freeway, drinking cranberry juice, miming Fleetwood Mac, waving a 4 million dollar check lol.
best comment :D
😆
I see him skating there in ps2 graphics
Guy got probably still finessed because the games sold like a mf and they hand out checks for 4mil.. I know he got more but at that point when the game has his face and brand,it should be like 10% of all sales
I’m glad he got more than he could ever have imagined and didn’t feel stiffed by the company
He's lucky Activision did the game and not EA.
Not only was he not stiffed but he only mentioned 1 check AFTER 3 games were already released and he said 4 mill so you know that was just the tip of the iceberg
If he got 4 mill then the games must at least been making over 100m
He still got a better deal… they offered him like $100,00 for the rights…. And he took a % of the game.. so he did ok
@@weedshoes5089 HAHA they are both terrible but yeah Activision better of the 2
Pro Skater 2 on the GBA is a timeless classic
Him landing the 900 was legendary, on the TV, before Ebaumsworld, deserves every penny from that game and then some
Tony's the oldest Teenager on this planet and it's magnificent
Him and Keanu need to smoke a joint together
Naw Rob dirdyk takes that
Young at heart but don’t discount the man’s wisdom
@@jimmygames5557and Theo Von ..Just a touch of sarcasm will be perfect 😂
@@IKnowImGayWhenISayThisBut Who???
Tony’s one of those athletes that really managed to transcend his sport. Dude is real af.
Yes watching that tony Hawk doc that came out a few years ago solidified his greatness to me. Never skateboarded but that video game, and that soundtrack made me a fan of his forever.
I like him too but you are going too far, no one really deserves fame/riches it just happens and tony would agree. Its how celebs go crazy and get out of touch, they dont know what to attribute their monumental success to, healthy people realize it could have been anyone and they are not special or above others just lucky/privilaged.
Rodney Mullin is still the goat
@michaelhammond9459 completely different types of skateboarding. Rodney wasn't doing 900s on a half pipe and Tony wasn't freestyling or skating much street, not comparable
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This dude worked to get that level of respect in not just his sport but amongst people from all walks of life.
His work was a big part of my life and to see that he’s doing well for himself is amazing.
Much love to you TH.
Tony is one of the coolest dudes ever. You changed my life as a kid bro. Love you
One of the few great and deserving mega rich celebrities. The legend

He was my hero as a kid in the 90's and still is
i bought every single one as a kid and i still love them
Same. Some of my favorite memories with those games
@@codeninja100 real
Sooooo what you really wanna say is your parents bought them for you. Great parents.
@@LtKregorov pedantry at it's most pointless.
@@LtKregorov why do people like you feel the need to make these sorts of comments? Like obviously he didn’t buy them on his own when he was a CHILD. Unnecessary ass comment
And then the agent quietly tucked the $5 million and the $10 million checks he had back into his pocket just in case Tony started asking about the hard numbers
You're probably not to far off.

@@playboithecreator L.I.K.E
@@playboithecreator you fucked it up
That game got so many of us 90s kids thru childhood and it totally sparked my lifelong love of skateboarding
Tony Hawk is an absolute legend, kids nowdays have no clue
Trust me, kids today are still affected by tony hawk. I'm 21 now and me and my younger brother grew up on the tony hawk games, he started skating because of it and hes an amazing skater now. We have a 6 year old brother and we introduced him the the old school tony hawk games and now he wants to learn how to skate too. It's crazy how shit like this can descend through generations
And the soundtracks, bro, they were on another level
Tony made me love skating too
Skate or Die. When I was a kid lol. Then Tony hawk came out when I was a teenager. Man I played that game so much. I loved Tony hawk.
That soundtrack was probably my introduction into a lot of those artists
I love how fucking serious he was when he asked that question, so fitting
Still remember playing pro skater 3 on the ps2 as a child. such a fun carefree game!
I’m so thankful for those games. Even the music alone was amazing.
Primus. Goldfinger. Yaaaa
The music was the best part!!
Soundtracks were fire
For real, like how much did Goldfinger make off that game?
Brings back HS memories
Tony Hawk is a certified legend. Definitely earned everything he’s got considering the amount of sacrifice and dedication.
Certified Beta Male, Doing stunts does not make u a legend
@@Carltonwanks troll
@@Carltonwanks what makes someone a legend then?
@@JuanGonzalez-lk6uudefinitely not Tony hawk
@@Carltonwanks good little troll now continue on getting nerves undone
I grew up with his games, loved him as a kid. He was and always will be an absolute legend.
You don’t need to be a skater to know this legend this man has been a household name for an entire generation
Legit, I think everyone knows the name Tony Hawk.
Made me wish I could skate but he blessed us with a sick collection of games to suffice for the ones who can’t skate
True, the only name I know from skateboarding is Tony Hawk
I like to see pioneers get paid what they’re worth instead of the usual robbed blind story
Generation(S)
Went beyond “Legend”
His cameos made him a Mythical Creature.
His Rocket Power episode might as well have been a through hour epic movie. Impact. It hit DIFFERENT.
As a black person from the hood and didn't have real skaters in my neighborhood. Tony Hawk allowed us to respect and experience skating. Those were the days.
Well said!!
Facts
frfr. there wasn't a lick of skating in my neighborhood, but the games actually started to get me and my brothers to pick a board up and start skating. these games did a lot for the skating scene
Fax Brodie now I ride an electric longboard 😂
Plus The Soundtracks Put Me On To So Many Genres Outside Of What I Was Used To
Dude had a passion got to the top level it and got all the opportunities and breaks and played the whole thing well, didn’t ruin it. Respect the hell out of it
I definitely remember that haunted house and grinding on the power lines 😂
I always remember in the suburb where you had to combo like 250k... took me a loooong time to get it.
Also getting pissed on while skatboarding in the ski lodge. Dont eat the yellow snow.
The carnival and Alcatraz was def my fave levels. Hope they remake 3+4

I thought he was gunna rob him
That’s just his personality he’s funny as shit 😆
That video game brought joy to millions of us during our early teens. Thanks Tony
It’s great to hear that last sentence from him, dude still sounds down to earth
Tony hawk is such a G. Came to my town around 2 years ago and signed my board. Legend.
Damn he came to your town just to sign your board that’s nuts bro
@@XvaliantX1 LOL 😂😂😂😂
@@XvaliantX1 yup 😅
He visited my old town too for some reason. Skated in an empty pool at some random apartment complex. It was so weird lol.
@@conansredbowtie Yeah Lemoore right?
He’s a icon for a lot of us growing up in the 2000s
Those games were fun regardless of you were a skater or not.
I couldn’t care less about skating and I absolutely loved the games and always thought tony hawk was a legend
Honestly they are still fun if you ever revisit the 64. Those games, especially the first 1 are quite impressive for their time period. And don't even get me started on the soundtracks...
The music on the first 2 games....
For sure man. But also I used to skate and y'all can't possibly fathom coming back from the skatepark on a Friday, getting high AF and playing this with your friends
Yea I couldn’t skateboard for shit and wasn’t into it until those Tony Hawk games. I love the 2nd one and Underground… as a non Skater though I was lethal on the sticks
"The video game changed my life" Not only his, many people got into skating due to the game, some even exercise for the first time overcoming health problems that stopped the from running or playing like kids do. A true legend this man, inspired so many people.❤
he’s referring to the “Greatest Hits” release when a game sells a lot and it goes retail for $20 instead of full prices
Was called Platinum on ps2 and they came in the silver case instead of regular blue
Nah they had red case for ps2 “Greatest Hits” as well
@@Deffected weren't PS2 cases black? I think you're getting stuff confused
@@pickedceasar1216 there were blue ones as well.
Yes black case but just had the red cover to the case - Red background white lettering for PS2 "greatest hits'". That's how you knew you could find some of the best games too!
I’m 47 and still play it. Changed my life too tony.
The remastered THPS 1&2 was a gift from the heavens.
I have the whatever, remastered versions on my system to play.
Can't let these games go.
The old versions are better though...

@@Cobrancrx they WERE better, take off the rose tinted glasses bro
Changed my life too, first games I ever played to completion and layer the foundation of my music taste, I still get copies of them from time to time and play them for days.
That cheque was basically pennies to the profit they made off those games with his name.
Tony Hawk was one of the many games that made the ps1/ps2 era amazing.
Yeah its one of those “if you have the console you must have this game” type of games.
Don’t forget twisted metal 😉 but yeah Tony hawk game I’m general was dope and the music of course 👍🏼
It was crap,and skater kid's Are annoying snowflake's, pretending to be rebels
Activision totally shorted him on that check
100%! Anyone with common sense would see that this was a stunt to not pay Hawk the amount agreed upon when signatures were put down.
He got played.
It sounds like that was just some type of bonus check.
yeah they made at least 100 times that on those games
Facts... i mean that 4 million is cheap af considered we all played tony hawk games around the world.. imo that 4M is spit on the face, like 00.1% of money that game made
Does anyone realize how much 4 million was before todays inflation? and those were just the 4 games…
Well deserved for a hardworking very respectful person.
Ive never skated a day in my life but i sure spent countless hours playing pro skater and jamming out to the soundtrack
Tony hawk did so much for the culture. Even bringing cultures together. Appreciate his existence
You know he didn’t make the games right?
@@thegoldenrule6137 he changed the game
@@thegoldenrule6137 he was literally the first mainstream skater. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t literally make the game his name was on it and everything else he did was involved in back then was huge.

Yes there are more deserving ppl.. stop being a nut licker

The dude asking Tony the question's is keeping it 💯. ✌️
He talks too much couldn’t even hear the man answer anything
Those games were a major part of my childhood. Tony Hawk is still so down to earth. One of the goats
Mate you should check out some his documentaries. Till The Wheels Fall Off and the other was about the games anniversary can't mind what that was called. Amazing proper inspiring stuff and great show of what they lot did for the skate scene. I'm no skater but daaaamn can't respect them enough
I still remember finding out you could put your copy of THPS1 in your CD player and listen to the sound track
My childhood. That ProSkater 2 was peak and the opportunities it gave artist and musicians was incredible.
Correction: your hardwork and 900 changed your life 💪 I remember being a kid and watching you do the 900 for the first time and was blown away. Everyone had to have THPS after that
tony was the wave
Yea watching it while it happened was the best
Naw bro the game literally brought him more money than the sponsorship at the time could. Yeah he was a big name but the video brought him mass appeal to people who didn’t even board or knew nothing about x games
Yea because the game literally came out right after he did it...
@@showtimesportsmedia6906 nah bro, he definitely got his name from the 900’s.. not the game. The game was probably the most successful thing he’s ever accomplished
