$200 per deck... That's sad
You guys are whack af. Kooky stuff putting that song on the board lmao
NO. i am just here for the skating.
Tony n'a plus rien a prouvé, que a lui même s'il le souhaite vraiment. ça me fait souffrir pour lui de le voir comme cela
It’s TONY HAWK dude, your just cheap.
he’s got nothing to prove to us yet he still goes despite his age. total legend
Skateboarding isn’t about proving anything to anyone
@@DEEPWATERS4 somethimes I feel like that that´s a big part of skating. Because I´m proving to myself I can do certain tricks ALL THE TIME :D
Yes …From the HOOD!
Gotta stay relevant somehow
@@moomoocowsly This. The personal/mental battle is the hardest, and at 50+ being a vert skater... ridiculous. I can only hope I have this level of drive later in life.
Watching such a legend be so vulnerable and human is really something special.
You are the perfect role model.
Yeah, it feels like an hero that lost his super power. But we love him even more for that.
So strong, yet so fragile. Reminds one self that we will all get older one day.
This
Watching this video feels so heartbreaking on a human level. I was born in 1987, I grew up with Tony Hawk being THE skater. To see him struggle to do such a "basic" trick and to see him age, it really lets the existential feelings creep in.
I have so much respect for him being vulnerable and saying he’s scared. People get so scared to show weakness. He’s a legend.
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around in 2022. People are constantly telling people how vulnerable they are and how we should take that into account. In this case, it's more about a legend willing to show how human he actually is. That's really not the same comparison you're making.
could not agree more. _100%_ true
@@glp.1337 How old are you? Sounds like a grumpy old man thing to say. I'm 30 years old but I understand that this comment isn't about being a spineless jellyfish or crybaby to gain attention but simply that people should keep it real. It's not bad to have emotion and face it, showing that you're an actual person who can be vulnerable and yet face that vulnerability like a man at the same time. I don't know where you're living but where I live people acting like you can't show emotion if you're a man is still a very very common thing. A man that shows vulnerability is socially outcast in every way possible except by the very few woke idiots who aren't worth being friends with in the first place and have even less understanding about what it means to be a man.
We're living in the softest time in human history and you're claiming there's not enough weakness? LOL
Tony is one of the most humble and real celebrities in existence he's such a good role model.
From being a little kid absolutely pumped seeing a 900 be done, to be an adult being pumped seeing the legend get back on the horse and pop a kickflip. You shaped a generation tony hawk!
for real dude. unequivocally right!
In his fifties casually stating how he didn’t have enough speed to do a McTwist… I’m only thirty and I get hip cramps sitting down to take a dump. Loved this video, Tony is the man.
@@toyotaecw mainly has to do to him staying active for years on end
This video made me decide I’m going to rehab tomorrow. His dedication after all that pain made me realize I can get through my struggle too. The SCREAM at the end is going to be me when I walk out clean and sober!!! Thank you Tony!!! I’ll be commenting back in a month!
you got this mane
hell yeah, you got this 👍
All the best man, fully commit to it no matter what and its yours
You go! I'll hold you up to it!
YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
A legendary kickflip was landed on that day. Healthy recovery Tony!
it was a backside flip tho..
@@flipnshifty pretty sure it's only called a kickflip in vert skating
I (and most of his fans I assume) find this just as impressive as his 900 and I hope he knows that. Such a legend.
No we don't
Stop being such a kiss ass lol
@@bradentraub Cry more
Man you can see he's in so much pain, yet he remains so positive and light hearted. Legend.
EVERY skater knows the sound and feeling of screaming out “Yesssss!” after battling a trick!! Props to the Legend Tony Hawk for battling through👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥
At 54 and he’s still an inspiration to skaters everywhere… Legend.
He’s a sad old man. He needs to disappear
This video shows why Tony is one of the most respected skater in the world. He’s not young anymore but yet he still has determination beyond belief. A true legend.
I just love seeing him be so agressive acting like any 20yr old dude trying to learn tricks, such a fighting spirit 👊
your comment is absolutely right!
As a 35 year old.. I sure can relate to this. Showing all your insecurities is truly a brave act. Guess I’mma keep skatin’. God bless you Tony. ❤
buddy I'm 35 and I just did my first ever handrail.
If you're thinking of quitting cuz of your age you gotta change that mentality right now.
37 and landed my first tre flip last week. Keep going dude!
@@forg0tten Congrats dude, great achievement!
Me too
Yeah i'm 32 and use to be pretty good.. got some old vids on my page.
I got a few pounds I gained over 10 years to lose to get back on. 😂
Also doesn't help a year ago almost died/ was bedridden in the ICU for 16 days..
and had to basically learn to walk again/ now have "ICU neuropathy" in my feet.
I can't even begin to explain how much I miss skating.. the irony is I stopped around the time I moved to AZ from Chicago. Be able to skate all year round. 😭
met him a few years ago at a skatepark. once he was by himself i asked for a pic and asked what band he saw at a venue the night before. he was sitting there for a good few minutes telling me all about the band and the history. i have no idea what he said because i couldnt believe i was talking to him. solid dude. i skate at a skatepark he helped build all the time
Seeing Tony Hawk of all people have to go back to his roots and have to relearn to kickflip AND having fun doing it is just wholesome. Living legend.
This is inspiring af to those of us who don’t skate anymore and are trying to relearn all of our old tricks.
This brought me to tears..I'm almost 50 myself UGH... this guy was a huge part of my youth . I love seeing him still pushing himself like this , dudes a legend .
Exactly... mine also...
i know! entirely right
I never learned how to skate, but I cannot even express just how much the influence and impact that the Birdman had on me growing up. From just loving life and pursuing the things you do, to overcoming adversary, he's done it all. Love you guys!
That's so rad.
“Overcoming adversary”
Do you mean Christian Hosoi? Lmao
You can see the fear he's battling at every attempt, yet he just keeps trying. Legend.
I broke my femur too. Spent a year not skating. I really felt Tonys pain and mental anguish getting back on a board. Like him I didn't give up and when I returned I actually became a better more technical skater than I had ever been. However I was in my twenty's. To do it at his age is an absolutely amazing representation of the human will to over come. I wish you the best with your recovery Tony, you were one of my heros growing up. Thanks for everything you've done for skateboarding. Much love....
I also broke my Femur completely in half when I raced motocross. I was 17. The mild on and off throbbing pain that would sometimes come back ( about a 2 out of 10 pain wise…not bad at all really but still reminded me) lasted until I turned 40. …the irony. …getting back in the gym again may be the reason why it no longer bothers me.
Big big big lesson of humility and hard work from the goat himself, respect ✊
Hearing the shakiness in his voice hurts me. Dude is such a legend. 🤙🏻 I can't even kickflip, but I can heelflip. Lol. That joy he had when he landed it.. takes me back. ♥️
He is in pain but holding it in, Tony only has a few years left on a skateboard before he should hang it up and save his ankles and knees for his future grandkids
do you skate goofy?
Tony Hawk is literally legendary. You don't even need to be a skateboarder to know who he is and he is a fantastic human bean too
beanplant funny trick name in Tony hawk's games
@@IRVDawg "sack tap" was my favorite.
For sure. Where i grew up in the Netherlands, every kid played football/soccer, several of my friends even became pros nationally and some even internationally. Skating wasn’t anywhere here, you would have to search really hard if you’d want to find a single kid skating. But yet everyone had heard of Tony Hawk and the fact he was a Skateboarder. Nowadays when people hear of a famous person, they might have heard them by name but they won’t even know what they’re famous for, but not with Tony. He just had that much impact on the sport.
I’ve touched a skateboard only once in my life ( and it resulted in me tripping and the skateboard landing right on my eye, giving me a pretty bad black eye for about 2 weeks ), but yet i keep following the Tony from time to time just because he’s a great dude
Human bean 😂
@@chadhiggins9944 El Burrito knows about beans
Dude HOLY FAWK I had no idea you BROKE A FEMUR!!!!
I'm 28 and just started skating again a few months ago after 8 years off my board.
I feel this. Kickflips were damn scary to try and get back right away, but to do it at 54, after such a serious injury is insane.
Huge respect for tony.
I recently sprained my ankle skating and was bummed about not being able to skate and having to get back into it.
But after seeing Tony's old ass get back into it like this, really makes me not wanna be a bitch and just get back on the board haha
Thanks for STILL inspiring me to skate Mr. Hawk...
That's my first and middle name!
Mad respect to Tony for allowing himself to be vulnerable.
I can’t believe he’s back on a board already. The guy lives and breathes his legendary status of which he’s fought to deserve
indeed. absolutely perfect
I broke my ankle right before Tony and had to get surgery and everything. Watching him go through similar struggles as I have has been extremely inspiring and somewhat emotional. I am also slowly on my way to being able to skate again. Keep at it Tony, heal well!
Same boat as you , Have a speedy recovery , you got this !
same dude I broke my back in march, but skating again now
@@EthanFingerboards wow that’s crazy good for u man
@@EthanFingerboards Awesome man
@@EthanFingerboards Broke mine in April, had pins & plates put in, have yet to be back on a deck but this video is super motivating lol
Skateboarding is such a special thing and Tony keeps proving why it is. Thanks Tony. Much love
I legit got emotional watching this. Dudes a hero of mine and will always have my respect.
There is something really humbling and wholesome about watching tony attempt to do kickflips. If the superman of skating can be vulnerable to the world and struggle openly so can you. Putting yourself in that place and accepting it is a key to being the best skater you can be. Never fear failure. Just get up and keep going.
To honest once. It is really amazing that Tony made that video. Somehow there are way too less videos about recovery after an excident. The hole "being scared" or "starting slow" is super important. Back in my skating days you saw the video of an excident and 6 months later a video about the person doing 12 stairs backside kickflip. It always gave me the feeling that I am a chicken and that I should not be scared after I fell or broke something. Good to see that a pro has the same feelings
Yesssss!! That nervous laugh when he first landed it and jumped off got me haha
I watched this with the same enthusiasm as I did when I was 18 and saw the 1st 900. I was rooting for it the exact same way. Tony Hawk, the man, the myth, the legend…did a kick flip.
This means the world to watch you fight and win Tony. Thank you so much for the encouragement!!
Man, I can hear it in his voice. Thank you Tony for all that you've done for skateboarding.
I love this guy I grew up watching him and playing all the thps at 32 years old he still inspires me to keep shredding 🦕
32 is prime age just got to stay going don't let yourself go
The honesty of this is so inspiring. Thanks Tony 🙏
I love how he goes for not only a kickflip, but a lil baby backside flip
Man I can't wait for Tony to get back 100%. Such an inspiration.
May never happen, just be happy we saw how good he was and he made a son whos pretty good at street.
That’s not how getting old works :(
@@andrewboyce7268 true😢
@@andrewboyce7268 I saw him skate vert in August. Believe me, he's getting there.
@@andrewboyce7268 depends on how we define "100%".
This kind of grit and honesty helps others to push through rehab. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Birdman, not just for this inspirational video but all that you’ve done for action sports!
I’m 51, and in the last 2 years I’ve had compartment syndrome surgery on the same leg twice, grade 2 pcl tear and 6 weeks ago broke my collarbone in 3 places. So I really needed to see this video today. Thanks for making it Tony, and hope you get back to as close as normal as you can with your leg.
I literally cheered every time he landed on top, and the final one when he rolled away; almost brought tears to my eyes!
I'm so rooting for Tony's recovery; wishing him the best!
42yrs old. When you are young and skating, you never imagine skating slipping away from you. You get a bit stiffer and the pop slowly leaves my legs. It takes sooooo much effort to just keep it going. To see Tony come back from his injury and be so vulnerable with his journey back to just doing a simple kickflip….inspiring.
This is why I love skateboarding. The dedication is real
Dude is 54 coming back from an injury that bad, forever a legend!! The skateboarding GOAT!
Hawk is so wholesome. He’s always been kind to everyone. He’s been involved with skating for so many years now and continues to push himself and never quit. Truly one of the most inspiring celebrities and a terrific role model.
No better feeling than coming back from an injury that really messed you up and landing that first trick! Love you Tony! Thank you for everything that you’ve done for Skateboarding and continue to do!
Brave of tony to show this process. A lot of strength and humility to be this vulnerable on camera.
Dude is such a humble person, it is genuinely inspiring to watch a skateboarding legend relearn this move and share it with us.
Thank you for showing this.
The smile followed by, “This is Skateboarding.” Says it all! Legend!
Tony you will always be my number one hero regardless of what happens, we love you!
Thank you for putting this out there, you know why and it means a lot
This makes my eyes well up. This man made me crazy for skateboarding in the 80s and took us all through the evolution of skateboarding to the 900. Now just seeing him land a kickflip again feels even more amazing than the 900.
this is more incredible to me than that horizontal downward spiral he rode a decade ago
Tony, you've already proved to the whole world what a WARRIOR you are! Thank you for your skateboarding and motivation!
Congrats Tony on the 1st Kickflip after you broke your bone in half! You still motivate to skate everytime I see you still going!! I pray for your health and more footage to come ❤
this brought me the same joy as the day i watched him land his first 900. Thank you for this. We love you Tony!
I just turned 51.. and have not done a kick flip in years. Much respect for Tony here as he, with so much transparency, shares with us his efforts to bring back not only the flip, but some well deserved confidence👍
Wanted to see this Man land that even more than I wanted to land my first kickflip. So stoked to see him back on his board again! The Godfather of Vert!!!
Much love and total respect Mr. Hawk.
This is probably the most inspirational skate video I’ve seen in my life. Brought me to tears. Thanks Tony for sharing this moment with us. Your courage to get back on the board is so inspiring.
People of all ages after a big crash have to mentally and physically go through stuff like this. I’ve been through a similar thing!
Stay strong and please continue!
This clip with some good music and Tony’s voice over could be a great ‘positive affirmation’ video.
Mad props for our skater idol 👏🏼
From one Tony to another, Youre a king. You're perseverance is legendary as it inspirational. Thank you giving us the best of you over all of these years.
Total legend!
This video is what brings humility to us the audience and allows us to connect in a different way to you Tony Hawk. I feel like you are human, and even I can or could do this now. The videos showing the hard work and commitment is humiliating and its refreshing for the audience to understand this FACT. Skateboarding is hard. Because otherwise it looks easy and everything lands and you never hurt yourself and why use pads?? Well its because you do get hurt and that is the commitment. Cheers!!!
Tony, you're the man no matter what decade or however old you get. I hope you know that and no injury will ever define you. You are skateboarding and everything that is good about the sport, whether you land it or not you're my hero dude.
This is awesome to witness. Thanks for sharing the struggle and anguish with us Tony. Glad you’re on the mend.
It"s both heart breaking and inspiring.
This guy was my hero as a kid. Watching him struggle and keep pushing through was really inspiring! Still love ya Tony! 🎉
Being 50 myself, this was awesome to watch! Thanks for always being real, Tony!
Man is the definition of discipline. You'll ALWAYS be the GOAT! That feeling of landing kickflip is just as special as a kid as it is as an adult. Much love for making us old skaters feel young again.
Legitimately been offering many prayers for Tony’s recovery. A childhood hero of mine since 1987. As an aging skater I feel your frustration. When I find myself not landing things, this terrible fear that I never will again starts creeping in. But this is Tony Hawk, the greatest skater to ever live. He will be back!
Tony is a legend! Great job man I cheered when he landed the kickflip. 🎉
proud of you tony. no idea you broke your leg so bad man. you're a champion for getting back on it. legend.
I just found out about all this and man what an inspiration you are. Still making people and myself pumped to push through the hard parts in life. Goat!
Took me back to watching him land the first 900 at the X games. The anticipation and the excitement when he finally made it. Great video. Hope the recovery continues to go well.
I've been dealing with a spinal injury that put my skating days to rest, seeing Tony work for this kickflip after his surgery made me feel a little bit less alone. Thank you for that. The Goldfinger bit at the end was amazing too
I hope you're recovering well ❤
to see a living legend like Tony work and grind thru his struggles just goes to show how relative everyones pain, struggles and hardships are, whats easy to some can be like climbing the mount everest to others....hes not only a legendary skater, but also a legendary human being, and we are lucky to witness such a real ass dude such as him.
That almost made me cry. But when he finally did it I was so happy. Always fight! Don't give up!
Absolute ledgend! If he can do it with a huge injury, theres nothing stopping anyone from being able to. Total inspiration
Mad respect. 54 & still killing it! Bet you never thought you’d still be shredding at this age like 30-35 years ago 🫢
More like shedding
Love the passion and determination
I don’t even skateboard but he is a hero of mine
He'll be a great skater if he keeps at it, love seeing older folk taking up skateboarding, love from argentina 🙌
Lololol 😂
I don't know if he actually believes this
I love you tony! Thanks for making this video brother! You have re-ignited my childhood happiness with this one!
4:00 I understand the turmoil. You're a legend. Keep pushing. Keep healing.
I can’t believe I didn’t even know about his injury but this video was really inspiring. He never gave up!
Getting back from an injury can be so mentally challenging. I got flashes of all the feelings I've had when trying to get back. Keep it up, the only way is forward.
You have been an inspiration for over 30 years mate.
Thank you
I skated street from 10 years old till about 45. One head injury made me decide to hang it up. I know how hard it is to keep pushing past when your body wants to cooperate like it used to. Kudos to you sir if you plan to keep it up. You don't owe anything to anyone and you certainly have proven to yourself and to the rest of us that you are a legend.
You could tell how nervous he was trying this. It doesn't matter your level in skateboarding it's about overcoming your challenges and sticking it. Good on you Tony!!
I have been watching and been inspired by this man my entire life. And still at 45 I'm still inspired! Keep it real my brother 💯
Just finishing rehabbing my hip after tearing my hip rotator. That first step was scary. I haven't brought myself to get back on my BMX but this helps a lot. Thank you for putting this out there. It means a lot to show that even someone as accomplished as you can struggle after an injury. Thanks for being so real all the time.
Never thought I'd see Tony so hyped over a kickflip ever
Mad props! 👊🏻
Hey man send a sandstorm my way haha much love ❤
Tony Hawk is such an inspiration to millions of people,, I'm glad to see him back up with that same fire he's always had. Keep it up you absolute LEGEND 🙏 Much love
Tony, you can let it go brother. The inspiration you brought to a generation is unreal. Im a 14 year veteran and i spend my 30 days of leave a year trying to land kick flips with my younger brother. The joy you brought us as kids can never be expressed. Thank you for the video games, and the lesson that quitters never win and winners never quit.
This is the best thing I'll see all damn month. Mad respect for Tony hawk!!!!!!
huge W for the legend!!! so inspiring!
it was beautiful. Thanks for the tenacity and dedication Tony.
such an awesome person. Thank you for everything.
