Tony Hawk: Tapes You Leave Behind

Thrasher and Tony Hawk looks back on his game-changing skateboarding career by pulling off a mix of classic and new tricks while reminding us you’re never too old to have fun. He’s joined for his video finalé by members of the 1980’s best skate team, the Bones Brigade. The track is All Stood Still by the woefully underappreciated Ultravox.

Beyond the addictive gameplay, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2’s best feature is its custom park creator tool, which has inspired some great fan-made levels. Skramblez put his world-building skills to the test with a skatepark that looks just like Peach’s Castle from Super Mario 64 – with a few extra rails, ramps, and pools.

One of the most iconic locations in Tony Hawk Pro Skater is the warehouse. We’ve played the level many times ourselves. Now watch the game’s namesake take on a real-world replica of the warehouse, as the 52-year-old skateboarder continues to prove that age is no barrier to his innate talent. The BTS video is worth a watch too.

Skateboarders Tony Hawk and Aaron “Jaws” Homoki left behind the ramps, rails, and half-pipes of Earth, and took advantage of a Zero G aircraft to catch some serious hangtime. The biggest trick? Not hurling their guts out.

YouTuber Mike Boyd wanted to make good use of his newfound popularity, so he’s dedicating all of the ad revenue from this video to charity. Tony Hawk also bet him an autographed skateboard if he can consistently pull off a heelflip. You’re a good man, Mike Boyd.
