That's what I thought! It's like, does he not know how legendary he is? My father probably knows he's a pro skater!

Hes a game??

His sponsors own him. He has to make it clear that he's mutual with them.

@@GiovanaSimmer Most people don't think of themselves as highly as others do.

@@soup5344 I wasn't criticizing him. I thought it was cute that he seemed so humble.

Same with me haha

Birdman's such a nice guy.

He is cool

He even looks the same

Yeah man hes a legend

Agreed. They are basically like acrobats on wooden boards

Me as well. I can stumble and fall just walking on a flat surface with nothing in my way. haha People who can skateboard and do the tricks they do are incredibly talented athletes. I admire those who can do what they do.

"trouble walking and chewing gum simultaneously" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

that was funny, that walking while chewing gum thing 😆😆😆

im not pro level but ive got some moves and trust me, even we can have trouble just walking sometimes. the amount of times times ive tripped just *standing still* is wild.

Is that a Good Burger reference? XD

themrqwertymark. Same. I have heard these words. No idea what they mean.

There's a remastered version coming out soon of THPS 1&2

Dude, for real lol

Defo is this info about remasters legit?

Lmao.

😂😂

😂😂 hilarious!!

you stole that entire comment

Ronnie Brown does it even matter? Lol

I’d watch that

I would honestly watch Tony hawk reacting to the entirety of the goofy movie. Is it weird to watch a grown man, watch an entire movie? Little bit. Still be entertaining.

Or even Disney's Tarzan. There's some sequences that seemed to be inspired by skateboarding.

@@aaronself2411 not really. There’s parallel plots and one is for a single father in his 30-40s trying to connect to his teenager. That’s a adult story

You should check out Rodney Mullen’s Ted Talk. One of my favorite skaters and listening to him talk about skating is really enjoyable, it’s really easy to tell how much he just loves doing it.

Van V 😭😭 same way how I was

Falling on your face is a right of passage in skateboarding.. Oh and the rail slip to groin smash 180 lol.

@@dankmheems290 That's the worst part; you know it's going to happen to you, you KNOW it's going to happen - but you have absolutely no idea when it's going to happen, but you know that first one is coming As they say in the cycle world - "there's two types of riders: those who have gone down, and those who..."

Jared Vadasy yeah the game was just named after him lol

Dude you just made me belly laugh.

Nah, he just likes to introduce himself twice.

A sign that you truly mastered your craft is when you can make those with zero experience or knowledge understand. Being in finance myself, this is a challenge at times, I fully appreciate how well he communicated his breakdown.

You were suprised Tony Hawk could break down skating? He's Tony Hawk?

most of the editing *is* bad. anyone who skateboards and is familiar with tricks could easily spot the continuity errors, trick selection and questionable camera angles. this is a running trend in hollywood whenever they are depicting anything like skating, surfing, snowboarding, car racing, etc. they either dont have the budget,care, or knowledge to look for someone that would know what they are doing regarding that particular activity. Lords of Dogtown is probably the only movie to be somewhat true to skating. also cant forget mid90's, that one is a pretty grounded take on skating.

It's too expensive to pay for someone just to tell you how the skating scenes look when most people won't even notice the errors. Sometimes you just need a close up shot or a far away shot to cut to in order to keep a scene going. It doesn't have to entirely match when it's on screen for a second or less (just look at the glaring differences of the board in Back to the Future). Unless you're a skate boarder professionally, and looking for it, you won't even notice. There's a margin for acceptable error in film making as much as everything else. When it comes to something only a professional in a field would notice it's not really bad editing if no one else would notice. That's how movies like, say, Outbreak get made. Regular movie goers don't know or care if the way they discover a virus and how they discern that it's mutated is silly... they don't notice or even most of the time care if that's legitimate. I would argue they don't need to unless the movie is very specifically trying to be accurate. Then and only then it matters. Otherwise we should know it's a fantasy and there's no reason to get worked up about it. As long as the fantasy follows it's own rules it's generally fine. The people in the know will know, and maybe this ruins it for them, but... I mean they've never made hacking look like real hacking in movies so... I guess it's just an honor to even be acknowledged that it's a thing. Even if people who don't actually know anything about computers (most people) don't actually seem to know what hacking really is and they think movie hacking is real.

That's fine, the movie was not made for people like Tony Hawk; skaters. It's meant for the general public who knows almost nothing about skating. You'll see this in any profession a movie tries to imitate.

I just imagined it..now what?

@@LINKKART8 Now imagine you feeling disappointed with yourself.

Loved this about the video. I think he knew every stunt double in the movie

Most of the professionals aren't in the movie clips they're commenting on.

I have no idea what you just said. My brain actually hurts trying to read that🤣

I imagine it's easier and cheaper to just hire skaters than cgi them in or something

yay hey man...

I with you 100p

Grind es la mejor película de skate, tony hawk no sabe de lo que habla

Wasn't a fan of the movie but the skating is amazing Imo.

I have friends that I skated with that spent as much time filming and editing as they did skating.

Tony hawk looks like the aged embodiment of the word radical

@@Donikin 👏👏👏

Because he goes out to play every day of his life. Living the dream!

Hes the oldest teenager ever. Sometimes it makes me think of those "hows it going fellow kids" things.

John Carmack syndrome. We try not to talk about it.

Well I think thats basically synonymous to "pro skater"...

Comment needs more likes.

He's what Kleenex is to skating

@@YearsOVDecay1 LoL dude. Chill. Have a like, free of charge.👍

@@YearsOVDecay1 have another like. Your popularity is growing now

I see the sarcasm in your comment lol 😂😂😂

Oh I get it that was a Tony Hawk Pro Skater joke because the games

@@vertigo3261 I though his name is Mr Tony Hawk Pro Skater

Random Ryan fun fact. His middle name is actually pro skater. Not last.

Ah ha man...

This is very underrated comment :D

AHAHAH

Chose his last name and everything

His real name is Anthony

"Mr. Pro Skater was my father!"

As a guy who just got into skating, it really does seem like a real language, it feels the same as a real language

Watching with your best friends at the movies live and in person then Thrashin' all night long quoting the movie.

Big if true

Don’t diss the 🐐

Yeah, he really seems to know his stuff. I'd totally play a game where we follow his antics

He even has the same name as those old games. It's like he was made for it.

Also cammy is godlike in sf5

lets do it to it bro

Yesssss

I know one thing I find interesting is that they make Max have a regular stance when he drops in, but then later when he skates back to help instead of finishing the race he's goofy foot and then he stays goofy foot for finishing the race.

@@diamondflaw well it is a "goofy movie" right?

@@diamondflaw that's a be yourself kind of thing is the fact that its called goofy stance a plot point of that flick?

He appeared outta nowhere at the smallest skate park you could think of here in Belfast, where my son was skating and rode a few ramps,posed for photos, gave advice and was generally awesome

And got famous by screwing over the Tapas brothers who were landing 900s before him yet he used his influence to stop them entering that particular x games event. There's a doco on it. Really shows Tony to be nothing more than a greedy businessman

@@FriendOfN0ne everyone makes mistakes though, I can guarantee you he would regret doing that nowadays

I thought he was a world renowned ornithologist.

@@AngryJT I thought he was a well known video editor

So he's not a Scientologist?

Tony hawk is only in video games. He is not a real person he is fictional

I don’t watch skateboarding or play the video games and I know him. Somehow I’m watching this even though I have zero interest in it. I guess the skill level and tricks captured my interest.

EVERYONE played Tony Hawks Pro Skater.

So true! I am not a skateboarder at all, but I still know who he is and that he's a legend. Don't know why but I really like watching his videos.

@@williammaurice7206 Well he's contributed a lot to skateboarding. Someone's gotta be the poster child anyway.

A bunch of dudes about 30 are giving you spill off culture. He was super popular in the 90s.

IRON MAN?

lol

Oh.. I thought his last name was Underground.

So Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is his son?

Lat3ksi right haha

@@BS23Designs Nah that's his often ignored younger son lol.

I don't think he realised that the entire movie is shot to look like a video game. So this scene was shot to resemble the popular skating video games... his videogame. Tony you are the reason this scene looks like this.

I wonder if he was made aware that the Lucas Lee character is based on Jason Lee.

Did Back to the Future really inspire that many people to start skateboarding? The skateboarding scenes are like 1 percent of the movie.

90% of skate tricks sound like names made up by an improv comedy troupe.

A Christ Air is an actual trick

RectalDiscourse a fine maneuver

Time stamp?

@RectalDiscourse I did that trick first try! I think I'm a natural

1+2

lol

Oh, saying the thing is tight!

@@dusathemaid it must have been really difficult to land all those tricks.

@@dusathemaid wowowow...wow......wow.

I think he was more saying it because it just doesn't happen. As he even says it doesn't happen lol Its hard to have a rule for something that doesn't happen.

I think the only real rule skateboarding has is don't harsh another's skaters run?

He has a passion for the sport and loves to share that with others. And he's at an age where teaching is natural because he (we at this age) love to share what we've learned to others.

And got injured and got a scar xD

More importantly he was in Gleaming the Cube, probably the first skateboard movie at least that I know of.

Also showed up on the Eric Andre Show just to destroy the set: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbykg8KKqtGphoU.html

@@scottnewsham2496 What about The Search For Animal Chin?

@@bland2467 honestly never heard of it, had look it up just now. 😁

They got THE expert. And it's nice to see his enthusiasm.

Seriously! I learned so much about different grips!

It appears David Roberts can't ollie.

i was expecting PR mumbo jumbo but he seemed real and matter of fact. Love it

Don’t forget Jay Adams

He's basically the elder statesman of the sport, now. A sport that wasn't even considered a sport (just a fringe hobby) when he started doing it as a teenager. That's gotta make him feel pretty good.

he didn't even mention that Per Welinder did some of the stunts in back to the future and he created Birdhouse Skateboards with that guy. so literally he did know every one of em Lol

Carlos Matos Fanpage thats good one my eyes

I heard he he smells like teen spirit

I would argue that Tom Morello is the oldest teen ager ever. Haha

I saw him in Powell and Peralta videos when were all 15

lol

I kept saying this to myself too, let's just say that was the filmmaker's intention haha.

Idk the guy is still wearing shoes 🤷‍♂️

@@swaggypea3866 his abilty goes throug different materirals

i was about to comment the same thing

I was screaming this to the screen the entire time lol

Feet fetish right there😂

Bucky isn't a stuntman. He's a legit skater

Several of the people he mentioned were his teammates for a while, he knows them well

@@kevinpiacente3456 functioning as the stuntman for an actor in a movie. Yeah.

@@kevinpiacente3456 and Rodney Mullen has the most distinct skating style possible. The dude can do like a thousand tricks nobody on else on Earth could do lol. I've never skated in my life and immediately knew that was him.

But also "I know the guy that did this." 😆

Tony has to understand it's spider man and everything sticks to him.

@@froey198033 To his shoes, too?

@@zacharyhuffman1863 watch spiderman again, it's not like he takes his shoes off 😂

Yes that's a front "random number" angle. Okay un huh, unhuh. I took geometry once.

For how famous he is*

*is

You mean is* he's not dead lol

Was he still is

I saw this comment and screamed because this was the first movie that came to mind when I clicked on the video

jeremybr2020 I think it makes you realize how human they are. That they can give attention to another legends struggles and acknowledge their reality at that point in time.

they're really good friends and both are super sweet people

They were best friends and in the bones brigade/Powell

If I meet someone that is into skating, I always test them by asking if they know who Rodney Mullen is. If not, I then ask them "but, you do know who Tony Hawk is?". Regardless of their answer I just reply "ohh, so you're not really into skateboarding..." x) Rodney is the most innovative skater of all time. Tony is just known for being a god in the ramps/verts through competitions and his beloved video games.

@@Khintara thats stupid

Pro skater / film production enthusiast - Tony 🤘🏻

I know this is an older comment but yes!

It most likely has a _lot_ to do with amateur clip vids. When these guys were coming up, they would film their best tricks on cassette and edit them all together in order to gain more traction for their crews. There were tons of these amateur videos being passed around the "extreme sports" circles, and it was how certain groups and crews gained a lot of fans.

Honestly as a skater there's nothing behind it almost every skater would know this cause everything is done in a specific way, regardless of style. Foot placement, how much pressure when popping, how long you can keep your feet on the board after landing(which is actually a big deal, if you can't keep your feet on the board for at least 3 seconds it doesn't count). all the same nothing changes. You'll be able to point it out, kind of like the military and stolen valors the reason you can spot one out so easily is because you learn a specific way to dress and how to present that uniform( not to compare skating to the military).

TinKnight They really missed out by not including him. Skaters of all ages would loved to see him be a part of that

@@_ZORRO__ Exactly... and not just all ages, but all nationalities. Sure, he's not active in the sport now, but I can't think of many others with the worldwide recognition & reputation. And his attention to detail would be a boon for setting up scoring/judging.

Olympics skateboarding is mostly street skating, Tony Hawk does ramps (mostly)

​@@jazzycat8917 well they are already making competitions on the olympic format so skaters get used to it. And they have 2 formats: park and street, park is just a bowl which is very similar to vert.

True...

I spent the whole video waiting for it. Love that movie. Wanted to see what Tony thought about the fancy tricks they did in the movie

Right? I thought he was gonna say that was his favorite

He was even in the movie right?

@@piccolo1525 Yeah he played neil armstrong or something

Why did nobody explain why Spiderman was stuck to his board?

foxman4455 right!!

If Tony is the professor of skateboarding than that would make Rodney Mullen Albert Einstein

He's in amazing shape and has a youthful haircut. Want to look young when you're older? Moisturize and exercise.

Neither old nor young and still cool!

His face looks old, but his voice sounds like a 20 y.o person and he has a young kid hairstyle. So, that's old and young mix right there.

"He grew sterner of face, but never elderly."

Genni G Fox That’s why he’s one of the best i guess.

Tony Hawk points out what went wrong in "Back To The Future"

Are you kidding? Every serious skater thinks about all the myriad ways in which they will fall.

He's spent decades facing gravity on a board and observing and later judging others doing the same thing. He doesn't have the though proces of a physics professor, he has the thought process of a seasoned skater. A legendary one that helped pioneer the industry at that.

If you like that sort of thing, you should reaaaaalllly watch some Rodney Mullen interviews. He could genuinely teach a class in Motion Physics. Absolute legend.

Because half of the whole skate boarding universe is based on his achievements

Did you know thps games ate actually based on Tony hawk!!!!!
