Ot3p Not all the Einsteins get recognition in this world. The important thing isn’t the recognition, it’s the amount of people I get to briefly exhale through their nose
@@SimonSkittleFace well he was a lot younger and was a LOT more famous a LOT younger. If you see him cameo in youtube videos now he seems like hes adjusted to his life and is quite normal. Also skateboarding really keeps you grounded and puts things in perspective. The best skateboarders in the world still get their asses handed to them every now and again and get humbled. Hollywood really fucks with your head tho, skateboarding is kinda the antithesis of hollywood.
Lol. I definitely played that game for hundreds of hours before i actually started skating and realized how impossible it was to do anything like what he could do. When i could hit the coping in a pool i was completely satisfied for life.
It would be the sequel to Lords of Dogtown. Stacy Peralta went on to co-found Powell Peralta, home of the Bones Brigade. That's where Hawk hit the scene
@@shylohana6434 Could work... but Tony Hawk is pretty old now. I guess with that CGI they do to make you look younger, they could. His life seems pretty normal to me. A movie about him would probably only appeal to people who skate, which would probably not make so much money. Honestly, I wouldn't pay $7 at a movie theater to see a biography about Tony Hawk. I grew up with Tony Hawk. I know everything about him. I know his entire life story, and even if they made a movie about it, I'd still wait for the movie to be out online for FREE and stream it for FREE. soooooooo... Maybe in the distant future, after he's long dead and people forget, they will. But right now, I don't think they will. It's too anti-climatic. A legend really gets cemented into being a legend and the GOAT, after they die. Look at Ali. Before he died, everyone said Tyson vs Ali, but Tyson is the GOAT. After he died, Tyson himself transferred that title back to Ali. Everyone now considers ali the goat, not because he had the best boxing record, but because he was the O.G. The reason why being the O.G. is important is because if you took any boxer today and took them back in time, they'd probably lose to the champ. Simply because of less knowledge overall about the sport, which equates to less of everything else relevant to the sport. So if we took Tyson back in time to fight Ali, he would lose. Reason being, is Cus Di-mato wasn't born yet, therefore he didn't train Tyson, and Tyson's style of boxing wasn't even a "thing" back then. Boxing was a lot more RAW back in the day. There wasn't as much knowledge about techniques n all that as there is today. So taking all that into consideration, people like Tony Hawk or Ali, really are the greatest because they were the best, at the time, for what little technology and knowledge provided them, comparatively to today.
You can tell that he put a LOT of thought into the story for Tony Hawk Underground. It's basically his own journey becoming a pro skater in a more modern setting.
I've met him twice, my friend did business with him and made him 1.5M, the guy never said thanks or was cool to me when I met him. He's dick dork. Always was when he was skating when he was young. All the pros didn't like him much. I met most the pros in the 80's and hung out with a few.
And just because he has money now doesn't mean he's always been wealthy. Money comes and goes. There are plenty of billionaires who started out with nothing, and plenty who lost everything and died without a dime to their names. How wealthy a person is can and quite often does fluctuate, quite easily.
Remember when he dropped his skate game and it said “no loading” and we all thought it was so damn cool that a game had no loading lmao, but the funny part is it had a screen that said “no loading” for like 5 minutes lmfao
He actually gets that a lot.. haven’t you heard the story where someone read his ID and they were like “Tony Hawk! Haha like the skater!” And he was like “Yeah”
@@PokerPots yeah I think they was saying it will on video still like normal but just not on CZcams but I was thinking the same thing I would rather it on youtube but he signed a deal for 100million so I dont blame him lol

Tony is actually a real cool guy, I live in Northern Cali CS at the time I went to school w/ his nephew. We all knew who his uncle was threw storys n him sharing his last name, one day after school in 5th grade Tony Hawk shows up on a skateboard and picks him up from school. I was actually wearing a Tony Hawk long sleeve T and he thanked me for wearing it n being a friend to his nephew. Will never forget I did see him once or twice a year after. Funny enough too Tony's older brother embarrased him big time one of those days after school by saying he used to change his diapers lol this was in like 20 years ago. Wowwww
When you look at his peers from Hosoi and Lucero to Burnquist and Mullen, just to name a few, you can really get a feel for how long he was at the top of his game. Not a founding pioneer, but he brought the professionalism to the next level and changed to business while still skating top level. I’m an old guy who skated when boards had rails and tails & THIS guy was who we all wanted to skate like.

"the Lance Armstrong of skating" is disrespectful to Tony. Not only cause Lance was a cheat but also because Tony has done more than enough for his name to be enough. He's not the" [insert legend] of skating", he's Tony Hawk
Also, Lance isn't the Tony of cycling. Lance is a legend in cycling, but not the legend that americans make him out to be. Forget about all the drugs, because they were all on it for decades. There are cyclists that eclipse him easily simply because there's much more in a cycling season than just the Tour de France.
@@kimjong699 youre trippin. Kinda obvious you don't skate because almost every reg skater will trash him and a lot of pros call/called him a sellout. Not all but A LOT
NORTEskXIV I think because most skaters don’t skate vert and when most skaters think of the goat we think of Rodney Mullen, nyjah huston, Eric koston etc. and tony hawk gets all the attention, but personally I’ve always had a lot of respect for tony hawk and grew up playing his games.
I tried skating when I was young, hurt my ankle trying a kickflip then never tried it again, I respect the skaters that do the crazy shit that can lead to real injuries.
Gonna respond to you all here. He's 100% underrated as a legend of his craft. COUNTLESS people are mentioned before him. Jordan, Ali, Woods, Phelps, Bolt, Mayweather, Messi, LeBron, Kobe, Tyson I could name 20 more legends that get more praise & recognition that Tony Hawk. Shit Joe called him the "lance Armstrong of skating" meaning he feels the name Tony Hawk doesn't hold enough weight
@@michael43567 Rogan was saying that Hawk was like Armstrong in that people who know very little about skateboarding/biking at least know Hawk/Armstrong. How could an underrated person be the face of their own sport? Sure skateboarding isn't as main stream as boxing or golf but saying Hawk is 'underrated' would not be the word I would use. I don't rate athletes across different sports, that's like comparing apples to oranges. Is Tupac underrated with respect to other genres? Possibly, but my point is that you've categorized someone into a bigger category that it just seems meaningless and frankly, pretentious.
I remember being a little kid going to the local mcdonald’s all the time just to play PS1 back when they had the Nintendo 64’s in the kids place. Those were really the days!
the tony hawk pro skater video games shaped all of our childhoods. so much fun playing with a bunch of friends seeing who could get the highest score every level
Dark Knight stairs are flat-ground? Rails are flat-ground? Go watch a skatepart of his.. i can pretty much guarantee you that hes got more than flat-ground
Met Tony at the THPS 25 year anniversary party while Bad Religion was playing. He was just chilling next to me and my friend in the back near the bar. He was rocking out to the greatest punk band ever with a drink and being the most down to earth and humble person ever. People weren't really bothering him (even though he was clearly the man of hour and evening) and if they came up to him, he was grateful and genuine. It was so rad standing next to him while rocking out and mouthing lyrics to Bad Religion.
Let’s all be endlessly happy that this is moving to Spotify, we can listen to it with our phone closed whilst cleaning and stuff without purchasing CZcams, and Spotify are srsly making video functionality 😍
Tony Hawk is honestly one of the fascinating people out there. He gets labeled by haters as a sell out, and those same people are the ones he paved the way for to make a living in skateboarding. And now it’s an Olympic sport.
I grew up around skateboarding and Tony hawk was always a household name to us, Even bigger when the games were released i still play pro skater 5 from time to time it brings me back to the good days where me and friends would get together and build our own half pipes / skate rails etc, We had a amazing time at one point we got the local council to get us planning permission on a plot of land near the football parks. We did everything from packing people's shopping in supermarkets to BBQ's and party get togethers as a small group of friends we raised £40,000 within 10 months towards the total cost of our skate park which 15 years on we see kids enjoy what we dreamed of which is a blessing, Tony hawk had and still has a huge influence on us all
It’s so awesome to hear this year’s later after being in that group of kids who were young and picking up skating as the THPS games came around. Amazing story, glad he stayed with his life’s love
so level headed bro. he never lost it for one second , and when you have millions of people who know who you are bro that shit is not easy. Mad respect to him as a person
The first game my parents ever gave me was Tony Hawk Underground 2 remix. My dad used to play it on long trips, but is kind of a boomer so he gave it to me bc he couldn’t figure it out. I was like 5, and I couldn’t figure it out either, but I have so many memories of playing around with it. Now I boot up my psp whenever we go on road trips (to my cousins house, it makes me seem like less of a nerd).
Dude my stoned ass saw this and thought it said Tony hawk went pro and 14 and bought a horse And the weird thing i had the same hype as house like my first thought was like oh fucking sick Tony hawk bought a horse when he turned pro what a legend then the ability to read came back to me still a legend tony

That Boy Tony Hawk a damn Skateboard savant!! "The "Rain Man" of the sport!! I will never forget that first menu screen instrumental from the first game!!
Not even close Tony hawk was the face of skateboarding, a pioneer Canelo is good but not near the level of iconic fame and superiority of Tony hawk. He influenced a whole generation.
Nah. It's always the football jocks that get the pussy. He would have been ignored by girl's until he started making it big in Skateboarding. Then once he became a Skateboarding celebrity, then the girl's would have come running.

constantly manualing to keep the combo rolling lol
@King Richard the Lionheart for some reason i cant picture any of the levels except this one where you in like a parking garage and you roll down into a a half pipe and then you can spine transfer into a second on on the other side . I would use the chest code no gravity and just do impossible spins lol dam i miss being a kid !! Nit have to pay bills or go to work lol i cant belive im saying this but i miss middle and high school or maybe I just miss having a social life now that im married with three kids and a mortgage lol...its sad when your ten year old has more plans on a friday night then me unless you could my plans of doing lundry and cooking dinner amd catching last night new episode of 48 hours lmmfao damn getting old sucks
Jesus loves you.
At age 14 I used to polish Tony's skate shoes. He used to call me shoe shine rick.
Yeah sure pal, and at 14 I used to shine lance Armstrong’s shoes he called me shoe shine tim
@@duck384 hahaha nice!
@@duck384 hahaha dude that was fucking funny
Now that we have a skateboarder, can we get Travis pastrana? Would be great to get some X games legends.
Agreed, Matt Hoffman also!
Yes to this fuck yes
I grew up watching Tony here at the Y. He’s a local legend making us all proud!
I know I’m not the only one who thinks Tony Hawk looks like Bill Gates’ cooler little brother.
Just looking at Bill Gates when he was in high school makes me want to slam his head into a computer.
Did no one catch that eye brow go flying at 9:58 ?? 🤣
"the Lance Armstrong of skating" is disrespectful to Tony. Not only cause Lance was a cheat but also because Tony has done more than enough for his name to be enough. He's not the" [insert legend] of skating", he's Tony Hawk
I feel like it was just Joe’s rough transition skills, that they were talking about Lance Armstrong right before this? 🤷🏽♂️
@@kevindube7096 oh that's not so bad then. I haven't watched the full episode
Also, Lance isn't the Tony of cycling. Lance is a legend in cycling, but not the legend that americans make him out to be. Forget about all the drugs, because they were all on it for decades. There are cyclists that eclipse him easily simply because there's much more in a cycling season than just the Tour de France.
Joe never said that though.
Safe to say Tony Hawk is the Michael Jordan of skating
%100 fact vert skaters were shit on when street took over. i was there lol
Street
It amazes me that the skate community talks shit on this man. He is a true legend.
No they don’t the skate community loves Tony Hawk. Your trippin
@@kimjong699 youre trippin. Kinda obvious you don't skate because almost every reg skater will trash him and a lot of pros call/called him a sellout. Not all but A LOT
NORTEskXIV I think because most skaters don’t skate vert and when most skaters think of the goat we think of Rodney Mullen, nyjah huston, Eric koston etc. and tony hawk gets all the attention, but personally I’ve always had a lot of respect for tony hawk and grew up playing his games.
@@NORTEskXIV they dont tho..What does skating have anything to do with peoples mouths? He is loved by everyone, stop being a moron.
@@kubby6196 it definitely has to do with the division of street and vert
I wasn’t even into skating but tony hawk was so cool I had to get his stuff and try to become a skater 😂
I tried skating when I was young, hurt my ankle trying a kickflip then never tried it again, I respect the skaters that do the crazy shit that can lead to real injuries.
Joe "Oh Wow" Rogan
@Andrew Davis WTF Same!!!!
@Andrew Davis same that was strange
one of the most underrated LEGITIMATE legends.
How is he underrated?
@Wraith Black "underrated legitimate legend" seems like an oxymoron
Wtf do you mean underrated?
Gonna respond to you all here. He's 100% underrated as a legend of his craft. COUNTLESS people are mentioned before him. Jordan, Ali, Woods, Phelps, Bolt, Mayweather, Messi, LeBron, Kobe, Tyson I could name 20 more legends that get more praise & recognition that Tony Hawk. Shit Joe called him the "lance Armstrong of skating" meaning he feels the name Tony Hawk doesn't hold enough weight
@@michael43567 Rogan was saying that Hawk was like Armstrong in that people who know very little about skateboarding/biking at least know Hawk/Armstrong. How could an underrated person be the face of their own sport?
Sure skateboarding isn't as main stream as boxing or golf but saying Hawk is 'underrated' would not be the word I would use.
I don't rate athletes across different sports, that's like comparing apples to oranges.
Is Tupac underrated with respect to other genres? Possibly, but my point is that you've categorized someone into a bigger category that it just seems meaningless and frankly, pretentious.
I remember being a little kid going to the local mcdonald’s all the time just to play PS1 back when they had the Nintendo 64’s in the kids place. Those were really the days!
So he was a genius and the greatest skateboarder ever lol
I mean if being in ap classes in high school make you a genius then sure.
One of the greatest but definitely the most well-known
J Boy gets that Title.
Tony trying to be humble at the end a joe wanted to drag it out of em lol 😂
the tony hawk pro skater video games shaped all of our childhoods. so much fun playing with a bunch of friends seeing who could get the highest score every level
His skating shaped a lot of our teen years over a decade before those games came out....thanks for making me feel old..
Tony Hawk was my favorite game growing up. Nobody could beat me 😂
STATEMENT OF THE YEAR!
TH: This is a long story but...
(Tells the story in just 11 words)
"my sister and I went in on a tanning bed together."
I met tony at a charity event last year. He’s the chillest dude I’ve ever met hands down. Super down to earth and genuine. Love this guy!
He frequents the Matt Hoffman skate park here in OKC. He is an extremely nice dude. His son is a very talented skater too.
i've never had any interest in skating but man do i love tony. he's such a great guy
PLS have Rodney Mullen on!! The GODFATHER of skating
Dark Knight stairs are flat-ground? Rails are flat-ground? Go watch a skatepart of his.. i can pretty much guarantee you that hes got more than flat-ground
First time I have ever heard anyone describe Rodney Mullen as Meh. Dude is pretty much Neo on a skateboard.
@@l3joint wtf
@@l3joint how do you sleep at night talking that much bullshit?
@@l3joint He is the reason why people are skating the way they are today.
Met Tony at the THPS 25 year anniversary party while Bad Religion was playing. He was just chilling next to me and my friend in the back near the bar. He was rocking out to the greatest punk band ever with a drink and being the most down to earth and humble person ever. People weren't really bothering him (even though he was clearly the man of hour and evening) and if they came up to him, he was grateful and genuine. It was so rad standing next to him while rocking out and mouthing lyrics to Bad Religion.
Let’s all be endlessly happy that this is moving to Spotify, we can listen to it with our phone closed whilst cleaning and stuff without purchasing CZcams, and Spotify are srsly making video functionality 😍
He has shown that if you hone your craft, do what you really genuinely love. The money will come regardless.
Tony Hawk is honestly one of the fascinating people out there. He gets labeled by haters as a sell out, and those same people are the ones he paved the way for to make a living in skateboarding. And now it’s an Olympic sport.
How did he sell out? I know nothing about him.
I grew up around skateboarding and Tony hawk was always a household name to us, Even bigger when the games were released i still play pro skater 5 from time to time it brings me back to the good days where me and friends would get together and build our own half pipes / skate rails etc, We had a amazing time at one point we got the local council to get us planning permission on a plot of land near the football parks. We did everything from packing people's shopping in supermarkets to BBQ's and party get togethers as a small group of friends we raised £40,000 within 10 months towards the total cost of our skate park which 15 years on we see kids enjoy what we dreamed of which is a blessing, Tony hawk had and still has a huge influence on us all
Carlsbad is 10 minutes away from me that’s a trip that such a legend is from around here
This podcast with Tony is gonna blow up 🌋 🌋 🌋
Recall years back Millencollin - no cigar blasting and getting Tony to do some madshit on my Ps1 😂🔥
It’s so awesome to hear this year’s later after being in that group of kids who were young and picking up skating as the THPS games came around. Amazing story, glad he stayed with his life’s love
I met Tony Hawk in the late 80's at javernicks ramp in Loveland Colorado. He was super talented and nice to us kids watching
The original 🐐
Looking forward to those remasters!
Actually, Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta and the 70's Zephyr skate team are the original goat's
so level headed bro. he never lost it for one second , and when you have millions of people who know who you are bro that shit is not easy. Mad respect to him as a person
What an incredibly down to earth, humble, cool guy. Good to see good things happen to good people.
Glad to see he checked himself on which wave he sk8'ed in on. I'm sure Tony Alva and Peralta and Jay Adams would have had something to say about it.
John Ogden Z-Boys 🌊
Jay Adams is dead though.
@@greysonG10 still would've had something to say..
@@danielbenson6407 You best believe it.
@@greysonG10 yes he is...RIP. I met him and the boys in '77 under the Santa Monica pier when I worked at the arcade.
Let's be honest, THPS 1 & 2 propelled him into the big time just with the soundtracks alone.
I remember playing the game as a kid having to spray over the tag “spat” or sum 😂
Tony was one year ahead of me in my high school. I vaguely remember him but didn't realize we had a sports legend on campus.
Tony hawk is a legend man.
Tony Hawk is the Spotify of skateboarders
Lol
We get it, you’re angry about the switch
@@Granadan Not at all. I enjoy making jokes.
only for the likes
I keep seeing posts like this. Whats it all about? The Spotify thing?
The first game my parents ever gave me was Tony Hawk Underground 2 remix. My dad used to play it on long trips, but is kind of a boomer so he gave it to me bc he couldn’t figure it out. I was like 5, and I couldn’t figure it out either, but I have so many memories of playing around with it. Now I boot up my psp whenever we go on road trips (to my cousins house, it makes me seem like less of a nerd).
Dude my stoned ass saw this and thought it said Tony hawk went pro and 14 and bought a horse
And the weird thing i had the same hype as house like my first thought was like oh fucking sick Tony hawk bought a horse when he turned pro what a legend then the ability to read came back to me still a legend tony
I’ve been waiting for a skateboarder to come on Joe Rogan!
Uriah Faber was on here before Tony was.
MHD Predator that bum? fuck him
@@randomclips8575 Lol you're obviously not a mma fan. You arent in on the joke. Have a good night.
MHD Predator Faber sucked at first sight in ufc. he never became known only through his losses lol. People like you are and your boyfriend are what is wrong with the world both men seek attention like a female especially when someone who takes a half naked picture on the internet as a profile pic coming from someone who has the audacity to talk shit when they are in no position. do me a favor and sleep tight little gurl, gn. oh you appear to feminist if anyone hasn’t told you yet
@@randomclips8575 Theres no way that I can make your brain work right. So I wont try.
you should get rodney mullen on too, super cool and laid back guy.
Rodney mullen would destroy Joe's brain
@@Vivacomunismo agreed hes too chill ahahah
That Boy Tony Hawk a damn Skateboard savant!! "The "Rain Man" of the sport!! I will never forget that first menu screen instrumental from the first game!!
Canelo Alvarez turned pro at age 15.
He is the Canelo of skating.
Not even close Tony hawk was the face of skateboarding, a pioneer Canelo is good but not near the level of iconic fame and superiority of Tony hawk. He influenced a whole generation.
Rodney Mullen was the first really I mean he created almost all skating techniques
I'm glad he brought up gleaming the cube
No mention of police academy 4 though.
His humility and humbleness is endearing. The goat in my opinion
This dude I can’t believe I was apart of the wave that used to hate on Tony hawk smh man the best ever
Woah he must have been a god damn rockstar back in high school.
Pretty safe to say he got first choice of pussy
Nah. It's always the football jocks that get the pussy. He would have been ignored by girl's until he started making it big in Skateboarding. Then once he became a Skateboarding celebrity, then the girl's would have come running.
russkate88 here’s the thing about skating, girls don’t give a shit unless you’re really good and also handsome
