Honesty Tony Hawk is the best spokesperson for skating, no ego, nothing bad to say just good vibes.
Yeah, if only most skateboarders were actually like that.
Tons of ego, but it’s not toxic, it’s productive.
Tons of ego! For sure
Dude, has ego for days. But there's nothing wrong with that. He couldn't have been the GOAT without it. 🐐
Good vibes with the exception of his NFT nonsense of course
"At 16, I was rated #1 in the world, and that lasted for about 10 years." -Most Epic Statement Ever-
He's made quite a bit of money. It's amazing.
He could have sailed into the sunset decades ago, but he's still skating like a madman. The absolute 🐐
Well not anymore since he got really hurt recently, but true. Always pushing the limit
skated into the sunset*
Seems like skating was his sunset
He’s the Buddha of skating.
Well what else is he going to do, get an actual job..? No just keep roller skating 😂
Imagine being the person to tell the most recognizable action sports figure in history to get off the Olympic skatepark
😂😂😂
You don’t need to know anything about the skate world to respect and admire this man. He’s a legend and revered beyond his skate skills. Thanks for sharing your story Tony!
Knowing that Tony is going back to skating after this is something that always makes me happy. Never change Birdman!
The old Tony Hawk games was where its at. The GOAT of vert 🛹
Knowing tony hawk is one of the biggest legends of all time of all sports, him being as humble as he is is crazy. Appreciate you tony!!
I'm 31 and don't skateboard anymore sadly but I still love playing the Tony Hawk games
Still to this day, Tony Hawk's 900 is my favorite moment in sports history. I get goosebumps every time I see it :)
The 900, Pastrana's double backflip, and Kevin Robinson's double flair. I was glued to the tv during X Games back then
Dude for him to hit that 900 in XGames 1999 after the clock ran out and pull the gold was the best thing I have ever seen in person!
Same. His face walking up that ramp is the epitome of history in the making
Tony Hawk: *Got ridiculed as a kid because he was small*
Also Tony Hawk: *Grow up into a 6'3 giant*
He's accomplished so much, innovated an entire sport, and inspired generations of people. Tony Hawk is one of the coolest human beings on the planet.
Pump your breaks, goat forsure. But Rodney Mullen innovated skateboarding
@@byronbass1370 You don't think they both did? Mullen innovated street skating for sure with all his crazy tricks, but I feel like Tony Hawk has done more overall for skating in general.
@@grindcoremaniac yeah i dunno, maybe your right. In a worldwide scale cause his videogame, but skating in general not as much. But lets not get it twisted, he is a fuckin legend. GOAT. Danny way, alva, mark gonzales, natas, mullen.
Tony hawk u are a big part of my life. U push me in 1999 I rember u landed the 9. I was living with my grandma . I was amazed. U where flying. U kept me positive skating and being on a straight path.
Glad he mentioned his old man Frank Hawk. Dude was a legend in making ramp skateboarding what it is.
Tony is awesome because he’s known for being a pro but known to be a famous spokesperson for beginners. He’s perfectly balanced between the two
Birdman was already legend status even before the 900 and subsequent things. He has always been incredibly brave, doing the most technical, awkward stuff, backwards, 15 feet above your head.
I owe this guy alot. His game as a kid introduced me to skating and the music on that game introduced me to alternative music in turn influencing my lifestyle today completely. In turn influencing my children. Always a fan and still get chills when I hear him describe that x-games 900. A true class act, constant professional and face of a culture, sport and icon. Long live the Hawk!
One of the true GOATs! such a good skater and seem like an even better person. His parts in Ban This and The End are some of the best vert skateboarding you'll ever see. It's so easy to have a guy whose an arrogant type on top of the sport but he definitely doesn't bring that type of vibe. Tony, Rodney, and Gonz are the holy trinity of skateboarding (in my opinion, BUT there are definitely more other innovators that are rad) and they all seem like super rad people, cementing skateboarding as the greatest sport of all time (again in my opinion)
Reveal at the end was badass
Tony Hawk: the oldest teenager
Tony Hawk may be skateboardings coolest dad.
Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing more athletes share their tae on their storied accomplishments
Until The Wheels Fall Off, is a good documentary and worth the watch!
Where can i watch it?
@@byronbass1370 HBO max
His HBO documentary that just came out is fire!
Dude still looks so young, I love Tony Hawk
I’ve been intrigued by Tony and skating for so long. He’s just a complete legend who loves his gift. Just into giving it away. Love it all.
Childhood hero I love this Legend of skating.
Living legend man I feel like TONY
Absolute Legend! What a vert skater.
So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
.......
We
Please do a refresh of everygame thanks.
The man, the legend!
Totally humble and the ultimate 🐐
Hawks never give up!
Dude is a legend for a reason.
Please speak with Jason Lee or Mark Gonzalez next. Thank you
Birdhouse "The End" was one of my FAVORITES growing up. VHS by the way...
He’s the Michael Jordan of Skateboarding 🛹
Actually Jordan is the Tony Hawk of Basketball. Lol
Tony Hawk's pro skater 1 and 2 were remastered to 2020 standards. I played both of those games religiously back in the late 90's and I'm Playing the remasters today. Probably some of the best games ever made imo. They're incredibly fun to play and have staying power. Great games for sure!
that 900 changed skating forever, everyone started getting paid
Absolute legend
I had an opportunity when I was 8. 20 yrs ago. I got to step onto a Bus with Hawk, Hoffman and Mirra. These guys are just down to earth. And my Birdhouse deck has the sigs.
You can’t put “TONY HAWK” & “BREAKS” in the same title and not expect people to click on this vid.
You know what they say...”WANNA BE GREAT, BEST LEARN TO SKATE!”
Love you TH...you’re never boarding!!!❤😂
Someone make this man’s biopic
He would end up having to do the stunts for whatever actor they find to play him
"Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off" is the HBO documentary that's just come out and likely the reason he's doing this video in the first place. Strange it isn't mentioned here.
IT'S THE HAWK!
God bless tony hawk the best freaking skateboarders ever. Been playing. His video games as a kid my uncle an brother use to skateboard 🛹
Tony has always been one of my biggest idols! What a rad dude
Tony hawks underground all day. I really hope it gets remastered.
I remember Watching Gleaming The Cube When I was small An seen tony Hawk a feww others in that movie didnt show much but what parts it showed I wanted to learn how to skateboard an Im 30 years old an I Still Watch It Til this day and started Skateboardin again 💯💯💯
I still need to buy the Tony Hawk Simpsons action figure
Dope af
The most iconic skateboarder. The true GOAT of skateboarding ❤
Release the full cut!!
i don’t think he talked about that stuff and that’s why they showed it just to mention that that stuff happened too even tho he didn’t say anything
they interviewed him on a ramp 😂😂 iconic
Hope he heals well and gets back on the ramp 🙏
love this man
Not enough good things to say about Tony Hawk. He just has an incredible beyond goat status. Not many people get to where this guy did. Incredible.
Legend!
Class act..best ambassador to skateboarding I could have ever imagined..RESPECT
Killed me when it skipped over Thrashin' and Gleaming The Cube - iconic skate movies!
Although I still do love the Tony hawks pro skater video game series, my perspective of him changed when I saw that "All This Mayhem" documentary on Vice about the Pappas Brothers. 🤷🏽♂️
How do you NOT show the 900??
I wish I had this video when I did a report on Tony Hawk in elementary school
10:04 what great choice of music he have to be one of the most iconic game of all time
I don’t even skate but I have great memories playing the games with my friend good times.
Love
legend!!
Legend.
This mans like the tony hawk of skateboarding
Wow Stone Gossard on the board😁
We love you Tony!
Tony Hawk getting kicked off the Olympic course and his reason for being there was super wholesome and super punk skater all at the same time!
Tony is one of very few world famous people that managed to keep level headed, who still lives in reality and despite his accomplishments doesn't have a giant ego, you gotta respect the cat for that in and of itself.
legend
Legend the best os best
I started to skate when a was young, When he do that 900 in the Xgames!! 🤘
True lengend
Tony seems like a humble down to earth guy, cool he was able to succeed..
Just a suggestion… could you show clips with the stories he’s talking about?
i wasnt a skater but had a pair of hawk jeans in high school and they were so comfortable they were really the only pair i really wore besides cargo pants and shorts
the hawk, the legend
THANK YOU VANITY FAIR!! Let's share this so Animal Chin sees it!!
This guy is the best!
The Hawk man wanted to FLY MAN!!!!
Tony Hawk's twitter account is also legendary, iykyk
They didn't mention Gleaming the Cube!
Tony hawk was my child hood game. Underground and underground 2 needs a remake
ONE OF THE GREATEST SKATERS EVER!
Tony hawk is a legend
I’m sure your pops would be super proud
HE IS A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol I was just looking at his Twitter posts a little while ago then bamb this video comes out
I saw some doco on a guy in Australia landing a 900 before Tony
He did. No one wants to be honest about it but he did. Tony wasn't at the same level as the rest of the vert riders at the time.
THE HAWK IS HERE!
Go watch the tony hawk documentary that shi 🔥
Tony for President
He knows he's the greatest, but he is so humble
He is the best. What's better than a 🐐? That's Tony
As much as I love Tony. I've never heard him thank Mike....
Tony you rule thanks for all you have done for us skate rats! 🤘
No sport is fully embodied by a single human like skating is with Tony hawk.
Why did I search up Tony Hawk and not realise this video was new? Haha.
No mention of Police Academy IV? Whaaaa?
