Sick is like the word cool man, it'll never go outta style 👍👍👍 "Cool" has been slang since the 50s, it's literally about the only slang that has survived that long

How to find that vid

@@user-nj4gz3ue1m it was a tweet

@@user-nj4gz3ue1m He was once on a flight. A guy was putting his suitcase in the overhead compartment that has three of Tony's boards in it. The guy laughs and says "Huh, Tony Hawk on this flight or something" and Tony is right under him like "Hi?"

Everybody knows about him but don’t know who he really is

(To clarify, his legal name is Anthony) TSA Agent: Hawk... like Tony Hawk, the skater guy! Tony: Yeah TSA Agent: Wonder what he's up to these days. Tony: This.

He succeeded in something most celebrities wish they could do. He's famous at work, and a normal guy on the street who gets to live slow away from the paparazzi.

Dosent get recognized by a skater but gets recognized by a scooter kid?

EverythingEGG 1000th Like lmao

Right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

EverythingEGG shit, I could recognize him by his voice.... but then I grew up in the 80’s.

No you're not

If he doesn't want to ruin his Jordan's, why does he have his board? And why isn't he wearing DC's? Or [insert your favorite skate shoe company as long as it's not Nike].

mica davis definitely not gross ass DC. Vans in an out

@@revwroth3698 Imagine wearing DC's in 2019

@@revwroth3698 bro he had a long board what you mean hes jusy using it to cruise

@@Ozqu imagine wearing skate shoes made by people who know nothing about skate shoes. That's like driving a truck made by people who make luxury sedans (stupid escalade, stay on the pavement). I'm more interested in functionality than what's 'in'. i only wear DCs, unless I feel like i need boots. I blew out the outside of the toe box in my last pair of vans in two weeks and DCs are the only brand I've found that last me over a year. They're wide enough for my foot, i know exactly what size to order,, they don't have a pronounced heel or that horrible arch support, and they last a long time when I wear them hiking, mountainboarding, doing carpentry and landscaping, etc. They didn't hold up when I was a greenskeeper, but that's because I kept getting them wet. At the moment I only have two pairs of DCs and a pair of Belleville minimalist desert boots and that's all I've needed for the past eighteen months. I love DCs. That being said, it's really hard to find them in Arkansas, and if you can recommend another brand with a wide option that's durable I'd be open to trying them next time I need shoes. I used to have a pair of oakley skate shoes with a toe cap, they were great for working but a size too big. They were really durable too but oakley anything is freaking expensive.

There are a dozen "goats" in every other sport but TH is the undisputed GOAT of skateboarding. He is the one true and only greatest of all time.

@@BakersfieldBhakti Rodney Mullen.

dont do rodney mullen dirty like that

@@MrTacticalinuit Mullen's a God, but let's be honest, he's had nowhere near the cultural impact that Tony Hawk's had. Most of skateboarding's popularity is because of him.

@@leerobbo92 I think he was talking about the kick flip

leerobbo92 but Mullen invented the kickflip

@@alpha6ix222 I know, but that's completely besides the point. My point was those kids most likely started skating thanks to Tony: realistically how many of those kids are skating because they saw Mullen skate? And in any case, when Tony Hawk says "Do a *kickflip* !", you're not exactly going to do a 900 are you...

@XxMerc050xX either that or in his old age he looks nothing like he used to,

@XxMerc050xX the girl was his daughter and others were just being cool about it

@@alwest4472 he still looks like it though even so

I think they knew tony hawk its just that he doesn't look the same

He's not that fast..

*The best

ever heard of pewdiepie

@@feiei Pewds is famous, but hes pretty recognizable. Hawk on the other hand has one of the most recognizable names on Earth, but youd be pressured to recognize him on the street.

Cause he looks so down to earth and chill

Ya, I saw this video and was like "oh, that's what Tony Hawk looks like"

Jaja so true bro. I think the best. All the best.

I was going to like but 69

naaahhhh the couple was the best

I know tony really set a good example thee cuz a lot of skaters hate scooter kids but tony was treating him the same as a skater that’s pretty cool honestly

Oliver Marcussen why cant you like when its 69

haha so true

Then you havent seen Jason Nash yet xD

I laughed way to hard at how awkwardly true this is.

Lmao for real

Deep down inside, we're all kids on the inside. It's just throughout our years of growing up, we've build these layers because of the impact of society's opinion of being an adult. Truth is, we love being who we really are deep down inside because that's who we truly are.

You mean bill gates?

People forget

@GC what do you mean generic?? He always looked the same lol just younger

Well that's always happening to him

@@mikem302 generic means he doesn't have anything looking outstanding. he doesn't have a big nose, or a recognizable chin, whatever. he looks like any random guy.

he's one of the chillest guys around. Tony is awesome

Growing up (same area as TH) my dad told me stories that he skated with TH as a teen and made him out to be a total arrogant, spoiled JA. I'm starting to think this might be another Santa and tooth fairy situation with a twinge of jealousy ...

Best thing I've read in weeks lmao

@@yashdhikle4825 he said kids, so it's not wrong.

This kid is going places!

Lol this moment was great but also a big F in the skate community no one hit a kickflip before this kid hit a barspin

That dude is a legend

@@Agonystt Hey how about you two nerds get a room huh? We’re trying to talk about ollies and shit here awright?

Don Johnson I saw him at Disneyland once

He totally is which is why you rarely see people fan girling him because he's always been so chill and feels like one of the homies

Check out his Twitter it’s golden

U must not know the hawk..

Yeah just seems...

I've actually been doing this recently. My boyfriend(who doesn't skate, but just cares for my safety) has helped me learn how to skate and then skate down inclines by holding onto him. It feels a little embarrassing being the least experienced person at the skate park but I feel like Tony Hawk gave me his blessing just now haha

Not the same lol

tbh, I wouldn't even be mad

If you went to an executive college or somewhere you'd probly get a few that would.

"Do a pivot table!"

Do a vlookup!

Lol

That's Tony Hawks mistake though. The kid did everything right to not take anything from strangers. Well, everything but recognizing who he really is...but I think that can be forgiven. So he should have properly introduced himself to the kid, then let him perform his best kickflip and make him a proud little skaterboy instead of just letting him walk off and later find out what happens. This must feel bad for the boy, who actually did the right thing.

Moos P. Seriously! Tony dropped the ball here, of course this kid doesn’t know who you are. At that moment to the kid he was just some creepy old guy in shades.

thats his kid

@@Chaos447 - no it's not. It's a random little girl there with her mother who is in the background at the store buying herself coffee. Jeeeez - some people!!

Yeah. That WAS pretty cool

The kid was on it

Might not be a skateboard, but you gotta admit, kid got game.

Everyone starts somewhere.

That bar spin was tight as fuck

how old are you?

Exactly, i even knew him before i started skating....

I’m 25 and grew up with tony hawk lol, shit even my 16 year old siblings know who he is

Like driving a tesla and not knowing who Elon is

Right that’s like being a basketball player and not noticing Michael Jordan when you seen him

Right. To most of them he was just some random old dude.

And my thumbs would remember exactly how to do that shit.

Memories

And find the secret tape 😂😂

Lmao you had me chuckle there

lol. did not get this comment until the last four words

Dead 💀💀🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂 this was actually such a funny ass comment😂

You said never take candy from a stranger. Didn't say anything about headphones from Tony Hawk

Haha, i can imagine some moms having trouble believing that! :)

After seeing this, it sounds totally plausible!

I think he still has the foundation for building new parks. His number one goal has always been to get as many people skating as possible. He’s a legend for all the right reasons and should be cherished.

Carving a bowl is not as easy as it looks, especially for beginners.

Love his enthusiasm, plus that girl probably never even bother to do it by herself. This is what makes guys like Tony Hawk so great, they don't look down on people in their field who are beginners and just learning, in fact they encourage them to keep trying and pushing the limits of what they think they can do. That girl is probably gonna be more courageous to do more tricks/skills on her own

❤

It

or the kid was bullshitting and couldn't do a kickflip lol

Yeah I lost my shit just at the fact that all he said was “Alright” like nigga cmon

Lmao

Because he WAS summoned by skate god

That’s his oldest son’s coffeehouse and that little girl is his daughter. Nice guerilla marketing to promote the coffee business.

Honestly, I wouldn't have given a shit if it was Tony Hawk asking. lol Good to see he's still out doing stuff still.

@Bailey That girl clearly does skate so she probably would give a shit, it's really not that deep. why are people like you so mad lmao

who knows every generation has his own idols

I think the girl is his niece so she's probably was like "oh grandpa Tony..nah"

YSN i think this video just disproved that figure, pretty sure 99 percent of these people knew who he was on the street

@@ohigedid91xbox9 1% is close to 8 M. people. And he's riding in his neighborhood.

What about the 19%

Julius Beržinis 1% is much more than 8m more like over 80m since their is around 6-7 billion people

I once landed a triple-mctwist kicker-flipper thrice in a row when i was outside in my house, in my house's backyard, where I skater-boardered (in my backyard). I'd like to see these kids try that.

maybe even 4 before the camera perspective hide another kid :D

And I was impressed when I saw that part of the video first before I even saw your comment

Hahahahaha right? The amount of people to believe you is incredibly low 😂

Luckily it looks like tony signed the board 😂

An incredible story no one will immediately believe.

Good thing there is video evidence.

I want what hes smoking

He could walk up to more people on the street who know who he is and not be recognized than recognized. Freedom from fanaticism is a great reward 👌

I would like to see him tell people he is Tony Hawk. I bet people won't believe it

@@bakerystore2478 yeah but jordans are expensive

@@gonkfart Yeah i get what you're saying , i had these Air Jordan 1's for about a year and came to a point where i didn't really have any good pair of skate shoes without holes left, so i kinda started skating them, but now i got new Jordan's and even though i also got new skate shoes i feel like today i skated better in my old Jordan 1's than yesterday when i was wearinig my new Emerica skate shoes, So i'm just gonna continue skating them, they hold up pretty well and are comfy to skate in , anyways if Tony Hawks asked me to do a kickflip and i was wearing new J's i'd not even think about that haha.

That part of the video made me so happy hes so nice to everyone 😭

of course :-D He is better than anyone so he could basically talk trash all day long to other skaters tell them they suck :-D But that is not the spirit. I have been a rollerblader in the past and there were some toxic amateurs in the scene. The pros usually are cool and down to earth. People with self esteem don`t have to prove anything.

imagine you fail a kickflip in front of tony hawk and he just cusses you out

Not even razzing on the guy. I probably wouldn't recognise Tony Hawk by just a sunglasses head out of a car window. Just such a stark contrast
