Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert 2023 Mens Finals 

It's insane how much skating has progressed! Vert deserves more love ❤

Never heard about Moto Shibata before! Damn, this guy is in another time zone!

This by far is some of the best vert skating I have seen in a while.

Last time I watched a vert contest there was a lot of bailing and struggle to land a single trick. Now these guys are doing tricks back to back like the video game. Very gnarly and super stoked to see it.

Moto is so sick with it. Even his setup tricks look cool

I did not know this was considered a qualifier for the x-games! That's super dope my guy. Thank you Tony for everything you've done and continue to do for the skateboarding community. We all love you brother

Tony Hawk is the greatest skateboarder in the world and of all time /

That kid Gui looks great, absolutely fearless

Absolute heat! Thanks, Tony!

Miss the days of Mathias ringstorm, Bob burnquist, Bucky lasek, and Colin mckay doing tech verrt skating but these new dudes are carrying the torch.

Lots of amplitude, rotation...They're incredible, but I was more impressed by Bob Burnquist's switch runs a long time ago. Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Andy MacDonald, Rune Glifberg were also incredibly technical. Tony Hawk and Danny Way were my heroes when I was a teenager in the early 90s. When I saw them at the time, in reel, doing Mac Twist after Mac Twist, it was incredible, at Le Grand Bornant.

Wow, I am ENJOYING this sport!

THIS IS THE GREATEST VERT SKATING I HAVE EVER SEEN! THIS SHOULD UBER VIRAL! NOT ONLY IS VERT BACK IT SEEMS NOW TO HOLD SIMPLY PUT THE HARDEST AND MOST TECHNICAL TRICKS!

This is a gnarly contest format. That's just an entire 45 minutes straight of better and better tricks progressively every single person being worthy of competing with the next . Intense and hard to judge!

Cool. But WTF? Why did Moto not win? Ed D. does so many set up airs, his runs are on the edge but the difficulty is not even close, nor the style...

Vert is not dead!!!

Tony crushing it Fuck yeah!!!!!

This competition format is Phenomenal. It allows everyone to be able to show their full potential and pull out damn near Every trick in their bag. Every dude was Insane. Moto, akio, schaar, jimmy, paul luc, damestoy, gui, gomes. The levels skateboarding has reached since my first time starting 22 years ago is mind blowing. Tonys The Goat.

This was amazing. I hope vert sees a huge revival. It's incredible to watch.

Moto and Gui just solid!

35:37 This trick was absolutely nuts. The way he caught it and landed so clean too. Insane.

Moto with the BIG Hosoi vibe...

I appreciate how healthy Tony is at this far along in his life, he's also active and telling people to do what they want. It's a breath of fresh air in 2024

unreal sick ripping shredding vert skating 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My screaming while watching Jimmy skate woke up my girlfriend in the middle of the night so thanks a lot XDDDD

Tony’s era created Al of wat we see here on vert epic era the goat is Tony hawk ❤🇦🇺🙏

Keeping vert alive. Everyone is killing it

dig the lineup/ equal time format for vert. this is fantastic insanity. SO MANY great skaters

The speed and grace is incredible!

Keep going Tony just don’t forget falling is a part of skating for everyone🌞

Vert is the best, tricks are getting really insane, constantly progressing.

Love y'all, but you should probably mention somewhere that this is from June. I realize the description is written in past tense (because I read it), but it would still be chill if you just included the date this happened.

Sick contest!!!

I want to see a 540 Rocket air.

Dude, even compared to a couple years ago vert skating is on a whole other level.

Non stop crazieness. So good

I am a skater and know skateboarding for years now but I was todays years old I saw a 360 flip compined with a grab trick in a vert the first time. Incredible.

see you at vertattack boys :)

Gui is amazing. 🌪

Legend!

Thank you for everything ALL skateboarders. Thank you T.A. ... I never thought it would turn into PRO WRESTLING! how much money do you think you need? You're ALL SET FOR LIFE

I was a vert button guy most of my life, but it has gotten really wild.

Vert is a Vibe

Skateboarding! Wow cool

Really hard to judge , they all so great !!!

Upload the 2023 ladies vert alert please! Much appreciated

Tony and Ellis are such a cool sombination. Tony is cool and always on point and Ellis is Hyped and always on Go.

Supernatural athletes 😊

big ups to Jason for calling every trick

No freaking way Damestoy win this.. Shibata all the way!!!

So rad

Vertical are greatest athletes.

Magnifique Edi 🤙👍

#3 Gui Khury #2 Jimmy Wilkens #1 Moto Shibata

I remember in the late 80’s and early 90’s….kids were building half pipes in the back years. Those were good years.

That body varial 9 looked so cool. Holy shit

"That kid is back on the escalator!" - Jason Lee (Mallrats). I still love his Video Days part.

Tonyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

Feels like it's 1999 back again !!!

Seder crest was a monster ramp that was scary to even be there. Tony mags Pic in thrasher was huge have that issue still. Late.

Awesome skateboarding....Come skate Fireman's Skatepark in Houma,La.

Moto got that dog in him 🦍

Tom Schaar one of my favorite skaters

That Kid is Back on the friggin escalator!!! Goated mallrats reference

Moto 🔥

i wonder if vert will be in the next Olympics

15min into this contest and my mind has IMPLODED! I N S A N E People who have not been a skateboarder, don't really understand how difficult these tricks are. Lets not call it tricks.. More a Performance Art, like an Olympic sport. ( KEEP VERT PROGRESSING ! ) WHY IS THIS NOT OLYMPIC STANDARDS!!! hmmmm make me think.. Street/Park = happiness finally apricated in the Olympics. Please bring VERT.

Jimmy Wilkens has that Mike Crum style!

34:22 that is the most beautiful bail. I watched it frame by frame a bunch of times. very last moment bail. it looked like he had it but maybe he was pitched too far forward

Absolute shred7

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO

Cool

How the hell does Gui go so friggin big!!! He's like half the size and weight of the other guys and still goes just as big or bigger. But because he's so small he can spin more and can do 900's that barely clear the coping lol. The kids a freak!!.

Cracks me up!! His over 50's, still broken body, 540's are better than i'll ever do 🤣

this was awesome! it's great to see vert staying alive and still progressing. it is crazy that so many wild tricks are landed in a run. the women's jam was crazy too, there's definately an up and coming community of rippers taking it to new levels there as well. only wish there was less color commentary going on, there's just not much room for that during this jam format with constant bangers going on. wish i could of heard jason calling out the tricks in real time with tony and then some of the color commentary from the other guy sprinkled in, but hey that's just my subjective preference. i sitll enjoyed watching the contest!

Só os top 😂

I wish there was a jason ellis version for youtube. Hes a great crowd guy

I feel like this was Moto's year....

I would like to see christ airs and wrap'arounds again. Great contest 🤛🏻

Street will always be number 1, but this is cool too

I think when it comes to extreme sports tricks are. The the sky is the limit. I think there's infinite tricks just like there's infinite space.😊

That kid made the 900 look so easy 😂

I'm going to this in 2024.

Waw... Raiders of the Lost Art..

I think Moto should have won.

Jason Ellis is the perfect announcer for this event.😊

Imagine doing a Howard heel to fake on vert.

🎉おめでとう御座います🥳

And they think people like me havent watched vert since the 90s all these tricks were invented then. Its just dependjng who does them and when and how and if they are in a combo set. Damestoy shiabata and gomes are the most tech skaters right now

I really like Cote on here.

Moto was the winner in my book

Allez Bordeaux !

I can remember the first time a different time a few stunts and a t hawk signutre ok thanks

The crowds are small man. I dont understand? This is the best vert skating in the world and they got like 200 people

Nucking Futz

Front side grind to back side air grab in front of the foot hard to choose the best trick

Tony hawk reminds me of Mark zookerborg.

Ed was good but I'd have given it to Jimmy or Moto! unreal chops guys

Vert is getting crazy! Notice the announcers have their back to the ramp. It's because they have bad eyesight they have to watch the screen to announce the tricks😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

30:29 Delfino no pads, no helmet, no shirt vs chinese Chris Russel
