Tony Hawk was the “Jordan” of skateboarding when I was growing up..
Still is
@@noediaz2392 true.. the Goat ..
There is no was, just is
I want to see MJ hit a vert ramp on a skateboard. He's 61 and a 180 kick turn will suffice.
@@viento99 how about Lupe and *Lil Wayne in a half bowl? Lol
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS LIVE ON TV & YOU COULD FEEL THE INTENSITY OF WHAT THIS MOMENT MEANT.
Yeah. I was kinda interested in action sports, which was why I was watching the X Games, but that moment made me OBSESSED and it completely changed my life as a result.
It would be so awesome if you guys would release the whole broadcast, unedited so we could relive it as it was in the moment
I wish I could teleport to 1999 & stay there.
my shins don't wanna go but my mind does
@@shellbournian 🤣Hear ya
Great spot ESPN! It never gets old. Incredible moment from the goat.
And 25 Years Later this man is a still a Living Legend... Skakeboarding became mainstream thanks to Tony and Countless skaters was born from this single point in history
few years ago dude landed another one at 48yo. dude still rocks that vert ramp like a god
Amazing mini-doc 🙌🏾
All respect for landing it. Tas Pappas was the first person to visualise its possibility
Danny Way, I'd say
🤣
Tony Hawk is the main reason why I've played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games 4:55
One of the greatest moments of my childhood, I'll love Tony Hawk and Skateboards forever
I remember going to these X games in SF as a teen, they really need to bring them back!
I remember watching. Duvh an amazing moment. Thwnk you to whoever made the decision not to cut the broadcast! You are a hero for allowing that moment to be shared and helping skateboarding be seen
So glad to see this been given such amazing attention it deserves!
Love the respect all the skaters gave him.
I was at outback steakhouse with my family here in Vegas... Was 15 ..Forever etched in my mind.. skateboarding rules!!
GOATED moment, blessed to have been able to see it on TV as a kid.
That determination and love from the fans and the skating homies had me feeling like I was there. I felt that. This what skating is about .
So cool
I've had the privilege to skate with Tony many times. Absolutely.Without question the greatest ambassador for skateboarding ever.
Michael Jordan, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Hawk, Mat Hoffman, Jeff Gordon, Michael Schumacher, Carl Fogarty, Valentino Rossi .... the 90's had some legends
Tony Hawk the G.O.A.T of skateboarding Happy 25 Years of the 900
Tony landing the 900 is what made me ask my parents for a board when I was 8. Then my neighbor got the game on ps1 and nothings been the same since.
Truer words have never been spoken.
I remember watching it on ESPN live like it was yesterday respect to tony he was the top dog when I skated from 86 to 91
The 900 and Tony Hawk were the embodiment of the determination and the do-or-die attitude of skateboarding and action sports. That one trick made people understand it as a sport, and also understood the community around it - these were all people competing against each other, but were all united around the idea of progressing skateboarding and bringing it to a new echelon.
I was 7 years old watching this. Still skating to this day. Thank you Tony for paving the way.
💪🏾👏🏾 up to all! Skateboarders. Y'all incredible in some of the stuff y'all can do💯
I was 12 years old! Watching at home on my TV! 😆
same. Crazy its been that long now.
Having this live on TV as a kid was like the superbowl.
@espn Sandro Dias is the First to land a 900 in a contest run at the Munster World Championships in 2004. Not Gui. I saw it in person. There’s footage on TH-cam.
I loved playing all the games. Especially Tony Hawk Tua Pro Spitter!
Tony's the man
im glad that someone put a video out like this, so that the importance of Tony and this move at this time can be acknowledged and given flowers!
Didnt expect this. Keep them coming!
I was there!! 😊
In every video I have seen about the 900, no one ever mentions the serendipitous nature of the fact that the ad playing behind Tony when he does the first 900, is for Disney's Tarzan. A film for which animation is based off of Tony Hawk skating AND he later did the ad for the home release on VHS

I remember that night very well. Was jumping up and down in front of the tv. Amazing moment in skateboarding
The home run, the slam dunk, the forward pass, the curved stick. That’s what the 900 was for skateboarding. Tony transcended the sport that night
its crazy how much sports evolve. just the other day i seen like a little kid pullin off 900’s like nothing. lol
Respectfully, its a lot easier to pull off when people are rhe size of midgets and weigh less than 110lbs compared to someone being as big as tony doing it lol
Fun fact I worked the last X games and got Gui Khury’s autograph the night before he won gold. The new prodigy of skating who was inspired by Tony. I believe he holds the new record
I remember watching this live it was Insane! I had Tony Hawk send me a cameo video recently he did a kickflip next to his Mansion pool gave me a shout out so rad. 🤘
It was so sick to watch this live. Tony will forever be the goat of skateboarding 🤘
Baby Jason Ellis at 7:49
Well I hate ESPN for years now but this short doc is good! I watched this live on television that evening and to this day the best thing I'd ever seen in my 49 years of skateboarding.
There is a profound irony in the fact that Tony's 900 - perhaps the most widely seen and consequentially important trick ever done on a skateboard - was a Baker Maker.
Goosebumps and tears.. legend.. much love.. :)
best moment in sports history.
That is a remarkable awesome skateboard 6:30
Shout out to whoever let it run live and didn’t cut the feed.
does anyone know where you can watch the full broadcast of every attempt?
Amazing!
This is rad
It was such a big deal when he pulled that trick off. Him and Michael Jordan ruled the 90’s awesome times 👍
🐐🛹🙌🏾 The Goat!!
2:48 Danny Way should really get credit for doing the first 810, because he would need another 90° to call this a 900.
What a moment in time. It revolutionised skateboarding by getting it more media attention but the discipline itself (vert) didn’t survive that much longer after this. Making a comeback though.
Klay with the longboard lol. 😂
Looks like a Penny board to me
Show me a sport and it’s athlete that has worked harder. Together!
The legend definitiv Bonus brigade my faforite in my young time all memory sehr schöne zeit
Rodney mullen was the iverson of skateboard, the Ronaldinho of skateboard
And a good human on top of it.
Goated
The greatest ever
I remember
Way harder on a skateboard vs snowboard. Bigger transitions today makes that trick elsker to land.
even more amazing that board he did it on cant be any more than an 8.0 maybe even a 7.75?
It was 8.0in
Mitchie bruso is the man. Tony is the godfather, thanks, Tony
I was there 💯❤️🛹
🐐
🐐🐐🐐🐐
little japanese kid ema kawakami doing 900 like their a setup trick haha
This video needs 900 likes and is currenlty 300 short
There will never ever a 900 like Tony Hawk in the world Skateboarding wise 10:00
Biggest butterfly effect to ever impact the most supportive group of people
It’s more like Tony Hawks game revolutionized skateboarding.
Tony Hawk-Tuah
Tony!!!! Tu déchires tout putain 🤘😎🛹
🎉
Rocket😮
Him and Rodney Mullen are the goats
Its almost as old as me lol
G code
Pappas!!
BIRDMAN made us all believe in the impossible 🦅
7:50 who’s that hot guy with hair?
switch 900 fakie 900 nollie 900 no one has done these
Bob Burnquist did a fakie 900 on a mega ramp. Did Gui Khury do a nollie 900 at the last X Games or the year before?
🎰
Skateboarding nowadays is so incredible and yet so lame at the same time. But, I guess that's to be expected once it's on ESPN and in the Olympics.
Anyway, the 900 is dope, but it didn't revolutionize the sport more than the McTwist.
Na, Tas Papas did it first at the Escondido YMCA. Hawk stole the trick. Fk what the rest says.
hahaha you watched a stupid VICE documentary and all of a sudden its truth? you clearly dont skate. you cant "steal" a trick. Papas is drug addict who was never even in the top 20 of skaters and poor excuse for a man. and you should delete your account and never comment again. clown
Yeah, and all he's done for skateboarding is complain about that for 25 years.
@@Adam-M- wouldn't you if someone stole your trick and made it theirs? You sound like a Hawk simp.
Wazzz There📍
Hes not the first bam margera. Hed yhe first tony hawky
Only the real ones know that the pappas brothers landed it before tony hawk. Y’all don’t know skateboarding hahahah
“Revolutionized” lol
To anyone who sees this, please pray for my health and send positive energy my way.
Great personal accomplishment but it didn't revolutionize skating. Rodney would be in that conversation.
hand touched. doesnt count
PAPPAS AND SANDRO DID IT FIRST.... JUST LIKE DUANES LOOP ...HAWK CAME AFTER
There was absolutely nothing "revolutionary" about Tony Hawk landing the 900. It was a special moment that brought a lot of attention to skateboarding and synergized with the release of the THPS games, but nothing qualifies it as "revolutionary". There have been several actual revolutionary moments in skateboarding, but simply landing an extra half spin was not one of them...
Overrated
The people at the X Games aren't real athletes.
They are
How about you go out there and do a 900 then? Since it's so easy, according to you.
I agree it's overrated, but not real Athletes? Dude come on. Stop being Disengenous. Jake Brown wants a word with you.
Real SKATEBOARD historians KNOW australian PRO TAS PAPPAS did it first
🐐
