Tony Hawk Answers Skateboarding Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED 

dude is 49 and fuckin flying all over the damn place. respect

Tony Hawk is the only skater to make protection look cool

He seems like the coolest substitute teacher ever

Question : Why can't you skateboard when you're 40? Tony Hawk : Dude, I'm 49.

He's 50 now, I feel so old.. I remember admiring his tricks as a kid, he was my idol at the time, and he still is..

This guy is so knowledgeable about skate boards you'd think he's Tony Hawk!

1:20 that fall was so smooth tho 😎🔥

I love that his board says "Riley's dad" cause it's such a dad thing to support your, in this case pro skater child, with a banner but at the same time he's freaking Tony Hawk and his own company made the design and board lol

I forgot how cool this guy was.

Still shredding at 49. You're the man Tony.

Reminds me of asking my grandmother for cooking advice. Everything sounds perfectly simple but when I try it myself, things don't end well.

“can you make a new tony hawk pro skater game” *tony hawk pro skater 1+2 remastered*

Tony Hawk and Eminem never age

Idk why a Kickflip McTwist is so hard it’s just Right-Right-Circle

I've never skateboarded in my life but I really enjoyed this video. He makes the sport seem so accessible.

what an awesome dude, a lot of celebs who answer twitters questions are condescending with their answers a lot of the time, but you can tell Tony Hawk really wants to just help people and give his best advice

I don't even skate but Tony Hawk is a fucking OG Legend.

I can't believe he's 49. That's just completely amazing.

Tony Hawk with pads and helmets answering internet questions is peak coolness bc he’s Tony Hawk

Its crazy how down to earth and modest this dude is, he talks about these tricks as if he just learned them, when in reality, he didn't just learn half of these tricks, he invented and was the first one ever to land most of them, pretty much every basic trick in any skateboarders arsenal, either vert or street, was invented by either him or Rodney Mullen. If you've ever called yourself a skater, or just love skating, you owe so much to Rodney and Tony for everything they've done for all of us, they clearly just love skating as much as all of us, they're always open to talk about and explain how they do the tricks they do, theres no secrets, theres just all of us skater buddies sharing tips and tricks and trying to get better or do things no one else has ever thought of or tried, I've always loved the skater community, theres nothing like it, and really, these dudes started it all. You're a f##king legend Tony, take more credit for what you've done and achieved, you deserve it, for everything you've given to our community.

I’ll never forget waking up on Saturday mornings and running downstairs to play TH Pro Skater 4 all day long.

what a legend.

He's like the Yoda of skate boarding

In a world where everyone is becoming weird or dying really early in life I'm glad Tony Hawk is doing neither.

Tony hawk, you’re the fucking man. I played Tony Hawk games all through out my childhood (all American was the best in my opinion) . I learned to skate at a young age because of you and even though I can’t do too many tricks anymore, I use it as transportation every day on campus. One of the things this video didn’t mention is the community behind skateboarding. I remember being a kid and going to the skate park and being offered assistance with tricks and tons of support. There are always bad apples in a bunch, but overall the skate community is unbelievably welcoming and supportive. If I had a kid and they grew up wanting to skate, I’d be thrilled.

I remember when the McTwist was the Unicorn of all tricks. Only the top skaters could do them. It's so rad to see Tony still kickin ass in our old age.

for fuck's sake ACTIVISION sign Tony another title game pls

I love his prononciation at 5:57 hahah but seriously, he answers the most ridiculous questions in such a clear and humble way, you gotta love him

Damn he starting to look like an English teacher. Still a legend

Tony Hawk may be mostly out of his prime, but he's still a really chill dude and will forever be a legend.

How do you due an olie” had me lmao xD

Baker board: “Riley’s dad” I love it

This is a video I never asked for, but a video I never knew I wanted so much

Is he the same species as Keanu Reeves. They are immortal.

2 years ago..”will you make a new Tony hawk pro skater game?”...2 years later...”coming September 3rd..”

Honestly Tony Hawk seems like such a genuine dude and even though I don't skate it would be kickass to meet him

I played all of the tony hawk pro skater games, i'm considered a *professional* skater.

Just a really awesome dude :)

Man! He really knows how to take a fall! Did you see how smooth that was?

1:35 Pro Skater 1&2 Remaster just got announced today!

Tony Hawk has a very enjoyable voice.

He just glide falls. So gracefully. Like he defies gravity slightly so that his landing looks so soft when he slides down the half pipe on his knees.

Mark my words, there will be a new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game soon. These companies know that "retro" and early 2000 are big tight now.

I love how hes like 50 and hes doing 540s

man i wanna learn how to skate now....

This guy is almost 50...he's still so awesome!

I literally have zero interest in skateboarding but still love this video. It was very interesting and Tony is a great speaker and teacher.

Tutorials on how to build a skate take an hour... tony hawk:hold my beer

This man owns the rights to my childhood.

The 540 mctwist Sponsored by McDonald's

1:36 well, your in luck

Tony Hawk... the only pro skater without a hater. Everybody loves Tony. Worlds oldest teenager 😁

Don't skate and have zero desire to start... but this video was extremely entertaining for some reason.. :P

Tony Hawk will always be my inspiration 😭

Legitimately serious comment - you gotta admire how comfortable he is not landing a trick. Bailing off the board and sliding down the pipe in his knee pads isn’t even a “fall” to him

Tony Hawk is such a LEGEND!! Grew up playing pro skater! Great childhood memories

Goddamnit. That guy is going to celebrate his 50th birthday and I can't even lift an eggplant in a grocery store

Tony Hawk is a true legend and amazing talent.

I still have his boom boom huck jam autographed poster by him I got when I went when I was 9 since then been skating since

I'm 23 and have never stood on a skateboard in my life. I just ordered all the parts for one after seeing this video. Tony Hawk is truly the greatest sports ambassador of all time. His name is literally more popular than the sport of skateboarding itself.

Skate support👌

Activision needs to get their shit together. People are dying for another good skating game, Pro Skater 5 was an unfinished and uninspired embarrassment. Give the license to a studio that is passionate about the originals and can actually make a good game.

“I’m 49. The end.” Iconic

I love how at 1:20 he realized his skrew up, grabs the board, and throws it on the ground all before he hits the ground

"I'm 49. The end." What a guy, hahaha.

This man, you are in amazing shape Tony.

Wow-I was expecting flippant answers to a lot of those questions, but he totally answered them seriously and in depth. Awesome, Tony!

I'm just watching all of his videos on explaining things and answering questions, it's so soothing.

Guy is 49... still shreds some verts! :D I'm 31, just about the only experience with boarding is sitting on a 90's style board going down a hill back in the day. xD

The thing about Tony Hawk is that he doesn't look like a skater and he doesn't dress like one. You'll see him down the street and think he's just some guy but the motherfucker can do a 900

Loved playing your games as a kid. Good to see that your still kicking. #ProSkaterFoLife. #TonyHawkPS1

Made me reminisce of Tony Hawk Trick Tips on VHS. I would slow-mo, rewind parts to understand the magic of the movements. I'm 32 now and still skate because of these lessons. Thanks Tony, you are the GOAT.

*Tony Hawk* thank you! I wanted to hear you answer questions, but then you took it a step further, and went into instruction mode. This is now an educational video. I love hearing and watching an all-time great passing on knowledge. You rock bro!

Thank you for awsome childhood Tony.

Tony. What an absolute legend. Even with all the fame. He still seems to chill.

He makes it look smooth af. Watching a master at his/her craft is so pleasant

Pro skater games on N64 and PS1 were my jam

While I prefer street skating I have to admit that vert riders are the sickest mofos out there. This shit is scary.

Finally, we got our new game and it is absolutly fantastic!!!!

Tony Hawk’s Underground 3 would be so 🔥🔥🔥

We need Tony Hawk Underground 3!

Tony Hawks: Underground 3

I love how he talks as if he was still 17. This dude is so cool.

It's almost more amazing to see a pro like him fail. The way he salvages a failed trick to come away uninjured is truly impressive.

He still is cool even though he is about to be 50 years old

MAKE TONY HAWK PRO-SKATER GREAT AGAIN

Tony hawk pro skater remastered coming 2020 boys. (Edit on July 6th 2020) Holy cow I actually predicted it 😮🥳

I like how he's just like "Yeah that trick is cool, here's a more difficult variant of it" lmao what a legend

How many people love TONY HAWK?

Not gonna lie, I think that back boardslide was the first time I've ever seen Tony Hawk do a street trick.

Tony, got a dropdeck longboard. I've had a blast cruising arround, but seeing your videos makes me feel like getting a skate to learn tricks.

Mr. Hawk is a LEGEND MAN !!! I had never do any skateboarding in my life (too difficult) but I am so impressed his skill till today! :)

Kickflip= Left + Square

THIS GUY IS A. GOD!!

This is dope. I’ve never seen Tony Hawk do an informative video. Really cool 🙌

“Oh yeah don’t even ask an employee, go straight to the CEO!?” That’s kinda like what asking tony hawk easily googled questions is like.

Fuck , just imagine this , he is doing all that shit on a wooden plank with wheels

I don't even skateboard, but this guy seems nice

x:are you tony hawk? th: yes x: why?

Tony answering the kickflip question >< priceless
