My cool shorts are soft, delicate, pantone purple shorts that are cut above the knee and have one very subtle pocket. My man puts his hand in the pocket to show people he's mine.

SuburbanHobbyist I think his point is that Tony Hawk wouldn’t be the most iconic Skateboarder in the world if it wasn’t for the 900. That being said, no one knows. The thing is, Tony Hawk already was working on Tony Hawk Pro Skater and would likely had similar success either way. The original commenter probably isn’t aware that Tony Hawk landed plenty of 900s before this, as well as having a huge reputation for his childhood vert days. He might not know about Tony Hawks Hollywood successes from his childhood. I mean, Bam Margera and others didnt suddenly lookup to Hawk once he landed a 900, haha, it was years on years of inspiring dedication to the sport that made Hawk so inspiring. But his continued contribution is definitely making that carving in our mind deeper and deeper every year.
@suburbanhobbyist2752 3 жыл бұрын
@@TonyisToking I think you explained what I was saying very well. Tony Hawk would have been considered one of the "godfathers" of vert and overall skating regardless of if he landed this 900 that day.

It was a best trick contest, and as you can see and hear, the other contestants couldn't care less about winning, we needed Tony to make history that day, and he did. Sure, other people were doing their runs, but they gave Tony like over 10 tries to pull it off and would not let him stop until he made it. Such a unique moment.

You're an idiot.. it's an extremely easy joke to make about something that happened near the very end of the video.. Of course a few people out of thousands of comments are going to say the same thing, that doesn't mean it's stolen.. *STOLEN INSULT* this dude called me a dweeb, only one person in history is allowed to use that insult, anyone else after that stole it! Pure thievery!

Saw this live at crazy am in the UK. The other skaters and croud support was unreal. The guys had a beat going with their boards giving him good vibes. He was at it for almost 10mins after time. I was a blader at the time and seriously considered switching. Just incredible. They asked him what's next, he shrugged and said 1080 and grinned.

I only *WISH* I had ever had such a volume of (consistent) support over the years in my own endeavors. 😎 Instead, there were many who wanted to see me fail, and... they had some level of influence, that's for certain! 💪😎🤟

Loved being there to watch him do it, by far the nest experience of my life. Makes it a little better because it was on my 9th birthday, ended up picking up a new board that day too. Got home and started trying, took me a couple years to get a 540 down. Then a skate park opened up in my city, first day I went i started trying again, unfortunately I bailed at the worst possible time and landed on my back on the rail. Now I get to roll everywhere.

For all of you talking about has Tas Pappas is better, or he would have landed it first, remember the documentary was made from his point of view, with his input, and his opinions. He fucked himself so hard on drugs that the X Games probably had a thousand reasons not to let him compete. That at he didn't land it first, Tony did. Pappas may have proven himself the better skater had he not fucked himself over, but he failed to prove it because he was a druggie and Tony's dedication to perfection is almost psychotic. Hawk has the credit for the 900, now stop being shitheads and arguing that point just cause he's popular.
