Tony got bags and brought the community with him. Props to the goat. 👑

Christ Air was the go to special move 😂🙌

We need THPS 3+4 Remastered!

I played as Rune most of the time. Straight up.

Had to go with my granddad to a car mechanic when i was a kid in Denmark. Took forever so I went outside to skate on my beat up Flip deck in the parking lot, and the mechanic eventually comes outside and i was expecting the usual "you cant skate here" routine. Turns out the mechanic was Rune’s dad, and he had just called Rune to go down to the workshop to gift me a new Flip deck and a signed t-shirt. Still got the shirt too. Best memory ever.

Christ air was OP

Crazy to hear the THPS stories over the years.

I met Rune at HCSC in the late 90's and he got me to drop into my first 10ft half pipe. It was epic being at the top of the pipe as he was doing his thing. Simon Woodstock was also an amazing dude there. I won Simons cd player in a game of skate. He totally let me win and still gave up his tunes. Super fond memories of my time there!

Go watch some of the character videos from the games.. they'll take you back. I wish I could live through the late 90's all over again.

Rodney was the most consistent character for doing his specials on his board. Bam was the most consistent for doing his specials off his board

I picked rune glifberg every single time because i had a big yellow sweatshirt like he had in the game. On grind session i had to pick daewon or pigpen 💯

Tony takes care of the homies. Always great to see Rune.

We didn't have access to skate videos as a kid (until Limewire came around) so THPS was our main introduction to most of these legends outside of the random Transworld magazine mom would buy me at the grocery store when they had it. The video clips in the game and summer X-games were the only thing we knew of skate culture and the game introduced us to tricks we didn't even know existed. Imagine trying to learn tricks from doing them over and over in a video game and figuring out how they worked? We weren't very good but we skated from sun up to sun down and played THPS all night. A neighbor acquired a copy of 411 VM from an older cousin and it was MIND BLOWING, particularly seeing skateboarding and its personalities and antics outside of the x-games broadcast.

I love this corner of KZfaq, the comments sections are all so positive

this dude has the best hair genetics in all of northern europe

Rune is one of the nicest pro skaters and he still shuts down demos harder than people half his age

American Wasteland was a gem even though it definitely felt like a “spin off”

Man these guys will be remembered forever growing up playing tony hawk was the best

THPS legit changed my life not just as a gamer. But also my taste in music. I discovered so many artists through his games. If it wasn’t for him I dunno if Busdriver would have ever crossed my radar

Brutal to turn down to be in a game, the FIRST game.

THPS was one of the reason I picked up a skateboard, first board was an angel deck then I nearly cried when I got that birdhouse deck.

I me and he misses met rune at Tharshers 2009 skater of the year party and we ended up drinking together the rest of the night. Great guy.

Really great to see Rune. A great skater from the past. Legend.

Geoff Rowley and Rune were my favs in the thps games

As a FLIP fanboy some of those decks on the wall are amazing. The sorry one, Tom Penny, Rune's of course... I still have a Geoff Rowley Motorhead New Wave Flip deck with the ripples in it.

Love to hear the stories.

👑 Rune, you dropped this Steez King 🤘

I've had that appleyard wave deck back in the day, good times

I always played as Rune Glifberg just because he had a cool name. Didn't know anything about him, still don't. But I'll always choose my boy Rune in THPS2

wow I remember watching him skating to a Prodigy track in Flip Sorry, when it was newly released

The nostalgia thinking about thps2 😊 it got everyone into skating in Eu back then..no internet or anything Nokia 3210 days😅

His frontside stalefish airs are the best in the business! Always been a huge fan of rune

As a dane myself, i'm impressed by how he almost speaks without an accent. And we got a thick one when speaking english!

Christ Air was legit my favorite trick in the game!! :P

The music videos playing on that school level was sick

You are all truly Legendary. Always believe in yourselves and follow your dreams. I believe in you all. 🍀♾️❤️‍🔥

Amazing all the rad skaters Tony helped over the yrs.No hate saw talent and appreciated their styles and what they brought to the skate universe 😁

rune was always one of my favorite skaters and a lot of it started because he had such a unique name lol

Can someone please remake that Flip purple haze deck!? I'm DYING for one!

This guy was my favorite to play as on thps2

Always a good idea to keep the good roots on like growth.

For a lot of people, including gamers, thos first game was a life changer.

Christ Air was my favorite special🎉

Reynolds special was triple flip bluntslide

Please make more tony hawk's pro skater games

What it looks like when the CEO isnt making 350x what everyone else makes. Beautiful.

We need all the Tony hawks game remastered

I’m being hit rn with, I used to play Rune Glifberg all the time in the game. Such a cool name.

Holy shit rune glifberg christ air dam this shit took me back salute

Rune is a G for creating The Christ Air. It was one of the best moves to combine with anything else on a very combo.

Blessed

people who helped write pop songs from the 60's to 80's make insane money, paid every time it still plays on the radio multiple times a day for decades.

Rune Glifberg Christ air best move in the game…good memories

Rune is such a legend!

that game was super dooper fun..

These games made my childhood

What do you think of a episode just about the special tricks from THPS. It would be exciting to see if you could get Elissa and the boys to try out the tricks in real (if possible for sure) too... cheers

Crazy, he was my favorite character in the game.

Yo Chris, let the man talk ❤

Legend

Still dresses like it’s 2002 and I love it

"Alex Chalmers, you know, he might be another one of those 'King of the Concrete Park' chaps" "He might be turning pro or maybe he might even already be pro.."

Favorite dude to use

The Christ air was sooo dope in thps1

if feel like Rune was always underrated

I love how Rune didn’t address the issue of how big his cheques were compared to other sponsors

My favorite skater in the game just because of his name

I always skated as rune hia specials were so dope. He had air christ right?

Yo! I haven't seen Rune in years.

Rune is so sick

Now go look at what happened to the studio that made it. Wish the game industry would unionize or something to ensure they get royalties as well.

i fr forgot about glifberg

How on earth could they afford to pay that kind of money to all the guys in the game is beyond me. Incredible.

Unexpected..... Bert

Rune in the pool ...AP!!

Wow your already on the THP3 but you still getting royalty on the 1st !

I always played as Rune.

Due to the Christ Air he was my to go player 😁

I know the other remakes got cancelled, but if they ever made THPS4 and THUG 2 remakes, I would shit myself. Those were my favorites, by far.

See Christ Air always made sense for Glifberg though because he was always like... I mean he would just air so high out Like he's saying he's never done one but when you're doing like vert triples you basically kind of have to do one sometimes just to make sure you dont hit anyone lol which is actually funny for more reasons than just that now that i'm re-reading this XD

I played Rune just for the Christ Air like I played Rodney Mullen just for the Darkslide.

Wait, which game was it where Lasek seemed salty about being in the game for such a low amount of money or whatever?

🔥🔥

Siempre jugue con rune

Christ Air 360 over the rafters

Fingerflip airwalk

What are the numbers?

Met him years ago in Vegas. At the magic convention. Had a vert ramp there and he performed. Gave my friend rolling papers. 😊

I know the environment is wacky nowdays but skaters need to look out for skaters. It’s still illegal to even ride a skateboard in some cities……..AND FOR NO REASON!

bob burnquist can christ air lol

Yes I am saying this publicly.. As a former SNL/ NBC employee we fucked up by NOT having Tony Hawk host SNL back in 2001. Instead we had Johnny Mosely.. sorry man

the fact that skaters didnt get paid as much in royalties and tony didnt make a big deal about it makes me not like tony, bro thats your ppl stand up for them

It was 1 Mill check

during late capitalism skateboarders discuss money

He said nintendo, Sega but really started on sony. He don't care

I couldve sworn koston was in the first one 🤔

Christ Air!!!!

Thps 1+2 was such a good distraction from the pandemic

Tony hawks underground >>> best in the series imo

Tony made 100 million from the pro skater games
