Tony Hawk's First Ever 900! "The Perfect Storm" 

Rodney Mullen’s voice is so calming in interviews

Tony just landed a 540 at 55 years old. Jordan isn’t still in the nba trying to guard Jamal Murray, Gretzky isn’t still in the NHL playing the best hockey players. But our GOAT Tony fucking Hawk still competing in the X Games. He’s the goat of all goats

Now we need an 1 hour doc like this for all tricks rodney had invented 😍

Man.. I'm a 90s skater.. But Tony hawks pro skater got me into skateboarding and punk rock.. Skate videos.. Punk bands.. Z-boys and dogtown.. A whole lifestyle.. Who knew that blue cartridge N-64 game would have such a huge effect on my life lol. Who knew that I would end up coming to know Jesus.. Jesus loves outcasts Fs. Geoff Rowley, rodney and all them.. legends forever for sure... I hope in heaven i can skate with the raddest skaters and we can all be kids again.

I started skating when the first THPS was released for N64. I was in highschool, i was bullied everyday, i hated my life. I started skating then i found out there were other skaters in class and my life turned around. Now i had a crew, i was no longer bullied and i finally felt like a normal human being. Ive been skating since then, Tony is a huge inspiration in my life, probably i wouldnt be alive if it was not for him. Im almost 40 yo and skateboarding is still the most important thing in my life, i dont care if i fall and get hurt, i love skateboarding and i own my life to this piece of wood.

Thank you Tony!

Even if we saw it on TV, My Brother and I had the honor and privilege to see this live. We went crazy. Tony Hawk is still to this day a role model.

This has to be one of the most definitive videos ever produced on the 900. What an unbelievable video to launch a channel with.

I saw the Hawk do a 900 at Boom Boom Huck Jam. My dad made it his mission to take us to that shit. I still remember him and Andy skating doubles.

great video. wishing you success!

Who can't watching Tony's 900 remember it so well watching the x games they went over time just for that trick. Put it in the history books

I was there in sf for the 900. Same day Travis Pastrana jumped his dirt bike into the bay. The riding session with the best of the best in all sports around sf after every night was most memorable part of it all

You know what’s crazy is it took Tony so many times to land it once and then I saw this kid on IG who can do back to back 900s so smoothly it’s insane🤯🤯

"I'm too scared to go up a mega ramp fakie." So am I Tony so am I.

Tony Hawk and The 900 are the reason I started skateboarding Without that moment I might not have stared skateboarding or would be skateboarding today Because of that moment I started my own skateboard company I owe 24 wonderful years in counting of my life to that moment and Tony Hawk

Yo that rotating camera at the end that is seamlessly blending between the different shots is incredible.

So this is Chase's new venture? Hell yes. This is what the people want! Thank you Chase!

X games was so new it was free to get in at San Francisco. I was 13. We caught the caltrain from San Jo to the city . Tony had the whole event on their feet while he was trying that 900. Even these grown ass me, sitting in front of us on the top of the bleachers sipping Henny from Hunters points who had no idea who or what Tony was trying. Even those dude were standing up screaming from excitement 🤣 Core memory for me forsure! One of the best things I've ever witnessed live in sports! Oh , and we met WEE MAN too🤙

I've heard this story so Many times, but not like this, this is special, I started skating because of THPS, and one of my life highlights was seeing Tony Hawk skate in 2006 in Birmingham, England.

fantastic video, thank you and stay rad!!!!

This is absolutely one of those "where we're you?" Moments in sports history!

i grew up street skateboarding but now that the Olympics are a thing for skaters vert needs to come back so many gnarly vert skaters man id watch it every time its on

takes me right back to this night. the tries were getting late and i had to commute from ct to nyc for work in the morning, so i popped in a vcr tape ( youngins look it up lol), so the next morning i start watching the tape and as he finally landed the 9, the city bus that i take to the train station drove right by my house....late to work, but worth the memory..👏🏿

Even as a 51 year old ex-BMX Freestyler who sucked on a skateboard, I still get goosebumps every single time I watch anything about Tony's 900. Knowing how difficult skating is to learn, I have the utmost respect for all skaters. This video is awesome. Thanks for sharing 😊

That 360 pan at the end tho 🤯

Those transitions at the end were top notch

I'll never get tired of hearing about how amazing Tony Hawk is . . . Bring back Vert Doubles

This is one moment in sports that I actually saw it happen live and will never forget

Man I remember watching this on TV What an Epic night! This is such a beautiful sport! NOTHING else like it! The Pan at the end was so dope!

Great job Chase!!!

Ordered one! Now I have this and the the board with Tony’s blood in it hung up at my skateshop Five Oh!

THANK YOU CHASE AND I JUST WANNA SAY I SUPPORT YOU 💯 PERCENT ON YOUR NEW CHAPTER AND WISH YOU NOTHING BUT SUCCESS 🙏💚

Each GOAT has their signature moment, MJ had the shot, Ali had the rope a dope, Tony had the 900. Truly Legendary.

We needed this! thank u Gabor brothers!

I love skate stories ! There are full of them ❤

seeing this happen live was probably the most important thing to ever happen to me

I'm not even a skater and I randomly turned on the TV during the X Games right before Tony started attempting the 900. I was intrigued and kept watching until he landed it. It was a totally unforgettable experience and I'm glad I watched it. Now, almost 25 years later, I fully recognize the importance and the magnitude of what I saw.

Ive been watching this series, as a child of the 80s, this one got me choked up, remembering the x games being watched as a 25 year old and seeing Tony do what Tony does...epic

Excellent debut video guys!!!

Growing up in the 90s hanging in parking lots or abandoned places watching my friends skate was the most fun ever. When we all get together it always still ends at a skate park❤

Stoked on this new channel Chase! I do wish there was more controversy in this though, I hoped everyone would talk about Tas Pappas’s side of the story. Also a mention of Tom’s 1080 and Mitchie’s 1260 would’ve been cool. Big advantage to rotate that much on mega, but they were both still firsts that should’ve made a bigger splash. Good work tho 💪

A great short made by people that love skateboarding. Thanks Chase #skaterssupportingskaters

My family had actually been to events at that X Games the day before that happened (at least I think it was the day before, but I'm going off of memories from when I was 7). I was very into skateboarding at the time--though I only had some crazy plastic 60s board and a Toys-R-Us special. Going to watch the X Games was like a dream to me. Then, I remember watching him attempt the 900 on TV the next day. I was glued to the TV, watching him get closer and closer to landing it. Then he did, and seeing it gave me full body chills. I don't think I stopped thinking about that moment for months after it happened. Then of course, when THPS came out on Playstation, I got it and played it for hundreds and hundreds of hours, landing many 900s of my own. Thank you, Tony, for leaving such an impact on skateboarding.

I remember watching him throw it down. It was absolutely incredible!

Congrat Chase on the new project, dope edit !!

This video was amazing. Tony Hawk is the reason I started skateboarding when I was a kid

ive watched like 10 docos about this day and i still cant get enough lol

Im 35 and i remember it live. I dont skate but i watch alot of skate content.

Incredible video! Tony Hawk is such a legend.. I remember skipping school cuz my best friend found his Christmas present, which was a PlayStation with Tony Hawks Pro Skater.. We’d take a razer blade and carefully open them both up, hook it up, get higher than the electric bill and play the shit out of it for hours, had the game beat before Christmas lol

So fucking epic! I seen it live. Thank you Tony❤

Awesome documentary! I love the music you have in it!

Man, i never had any role models growing up, but tony hawk man. I loved skateboarding, the culture more than anything. Watching this as an adult is so surreal, because as an adult we tend to forget our role models. This video helped remind me what that feeling was like. To feel that motivation and that focus to achieve what im after, like tony did. Even more significant now as an adult. Thank-you.

Will never forget that xgames. Man those were the day's

I started skateboarding because of the 900 and THPS Games. Later became a skateboardfilmmaker myself that lead to a filmmaker career doing commercials and documentary VOD shows, now at features. The 900 was a huge change for Tony Hawks life but I am sure it had a major impact on so many lifes - when I just look at myself. Imagine just a gnarly trick - made by a guy in a pipe couple years ago - what impact does it have? And well done, such an emotional documentary.

Amazing , cant wait to see more 💥

Kudos to Tony but a small bit of gratitude needs to be given to the person at espn production that allowed the best trick contest to exceed allotted live broadcasting

Awesome video! I've been a fan of Tony since the 80s and was there at X-Games '99 to witness history in the making. I still get goosebumps watching that footage!

I think it's fair to say THPS got me into skating. I remember watching the first X games being so entertained. And when my mom would drag me to the mall I would spend the whole time in Zumiez and I specifically remember staring at Tony's Birdhouse deck hanging up and I couldn't keep my eyes off of them. They seemed so unattainable at that age(which for me they were). The artwork was so cool. Everything about skating felt so cool. I then skated for over 10 years and realistically it boils down to the 900.

we need more rodney, great video!

Isn't Tony Hawk one of the coolest guys ever? I love him, what an inspiration!

Really was a perfect storm. Hitting the 900 in the x games on national tv created so much attention that drove kids to upcoming THPS which in turn made guys like Muska, Reynolds, Thomas household names to the kids and best of all made an enormous amount of kids pick up a board. Skateboarding today is still eating from the attention that moment brought to skating. Tony is such a good dude theres not a better dude that could be the face and represent skating to the general public

great video, Tony has been one of the most influential figures in my life since a child

This is sick! Well done ❤

I miss when vert skating was this mainstream and popular; amazing. Great work Chase 🔥

I was a kid watching live when it happened, I'll never forget that... Unbelievable

Thank you Tony for everything - So much impact so many years later

Damn that Pano shot at the end is awesome! That was amazing editing. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I can imagine r this takes awhile to make again awesome work.

Tony is an absolute hero of mine, absolutely responsible for getting me (and hundreds of thousands of other people my age) into skateboarding through his video games. But even before personally being skating I was a fan of it, used to watch various competitions on the EX channel here in the UK via satellite TV, which is where I first saw who became my favourite skater of all time, Steve Caballero. I was lucky enough to see the first 900 live on the X Games (again thanks to having satellite TV) which was such a strange occasion in my household due to my general aversion to sports otherwise and yet there i was watching it live and going ballistic over the results, to the point where I actually woke up my sleeping Father (who at the time worked nights and was generally speaking the person who would be watching live sports events, albeit generally taped, when we were still asleep). When he came down to tell me off he was so perplexed by it being through my watching a live sports thing that while he still told me off, he was a lot calmer about it than he planned to be and then he got a bit caught up in my excitement and waited with me to watch a replay of the trick while I told him just how significant it was. Now me and my Dad have a little bit of a strained relationship with one another because of just how different from one another we are (he is very much a "Jack the Lad" type of guy, likes his sports, brimming with confidence etc, as where I am a lot more introverted and bookish), so the first 900 is a special memory for me not only because of just how awesome it was to witness, but because it ended up being a bonding moment between myself and my Father. Great video dude, brought back a lot of happy memories for me. Im 100% subscribing to the channel and am looking forward to seeing what you put out next. I wish you all the best!

There was an old thrasher ad of a 13 - 14 y/o Danny Way that actually landed the 900 first. However because it wasn't in a contest, he never got any additional credit. Tony is a legend, no question. However, Danny truly is the ground breaking force that brought skateboarding to it current benchmark.. I.e megaramp!!

Watching this got me all emotional. Looking so forward to seeing more. And such a treat with seeing TPUDS. Much love ❤

It feels like yesterday

I grew up watching Tony thank you for everything

Excellent first video! I'm so stoked to see where this project goes. Good luck on the new venture man!

If Tony didn’t land the 900 that night we’d all be speaking Australian and playing Tas Pappas Pro Skater. God bless the Birdman!! 🦅 🦅 🇺🇸

Tony is the man. Awesome video! Thanks, looking forward to more!

Amazing era, I'm glad I got to experience it as it happened, and still get chills hearing stories about it to this day!

Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the plans for this channel. So many great stories to tell in skateboarding from so many different eras

its iconic that Torey Pudwill is hosting this in an armchair by a fire place! this video is amazing, tony hawk is goated! i really hope you do one of these on rodney mullen. he is arguably the most important person in skateboarding history in terms of his contributions to the sport. I am sure you don't do requests haha but the world needs more rodney mullen in it.

I watched it LIVE on TV back 1999. It was glorious . Thank you X Games for extending the broadcast.

As a young-mid teen when this happened, getting to grow up in this era, I didn't play sports, give me a skateboard or bike, this is still one of the most influential and monumental moments of my life, a was a die hard extreme sports fan the tony hawk game was even my favorite game, so glad I got to witness this

Production value is so good. Nothing compares to the 900, but this needs to be a series. Next obvious is Pastrana Double Back. Subbing to all Chase content now. 😬

Great video. A little sad at the same time though because it shows how far the X Games have fallen in terms of cultural relevance. And they keep making choices that only worsen their situation. I wish the X games still meant as much as they did when I was growing up in the 90s/early 2000s. I still remember watching this live when it happened and just being blown away. It was a perfect storm and to see how everyone was competing while also supporting each other was just so awesome.

Love this Chase! Your going to do many great things in the new chapter! Cheers from Tennessee 🍻

Great work Chase!

This was awesome. Appreciate you Tony.👊🏻

Sick bro!!! Thank you for blessing skateboarding with your talent for telling stories!!!

This is so cool! can't wait to see what this channel does! literally iconic

God bless the person who created this channel this stories are addicting,I grew up skating it's kool to hear here back stories!!!!🙏🤙💪

Was not expecting to see Rodney Mullen (or many of the other pros)! What a treat! This was so great; hopefully there is more of this type of content coming from this channel!

Fuck yeah chase. If you continue this concept the channels gonna blow up. It reminds me of the channel Little Big Stories but about skateboarding. You're talented enough to take it far.

I’m here for you and this whole channel. You’ve got an every video viewer outta me, bro.

Man I remember watching this live!! Life changing.

WOOOOW rodney is the most truth speaking man ive seen, “ couldnt have happend to a better person not just for him but selfishly all of us” i was born in 2001 so my first memory of things was liking tony hawk games.. BUT i wanted to know why those other names were in it to when i searched them up id see theyre in the Xgames an brought interest into every other skater to

This is incredible. I was a kid watching that x-games best trick when it aired and every time I’ve watched the clips of the build up of tries he takes and how much closer he gets every time until he lands it, it gets me so hyped. Brings me back to that moment in time reliably. So rad to see it being celebrated in such an amazing way

The footage on the g shock ramp was so good.

The man who invented kickflip is sending praises to the man who did 900. skateboarding is crazy

What's funny, is that he's just going to have to go through this whole rigmarole next year as well because 2024 is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 900.

Man, it was great to see Collin! Last time I saw him I was really worried.

It would have been cool to touch on the Tas Papas thing! Be it to confirm or to deny the "accusations", but just to have Tony's point of view on what Tas is refering to in his documentary.

That 900 really changed the world. I started skateboarding in the early 90s, not even knowing that skateboarding was 'dead.' Other kids would always make fun or just look at me weird, but after the 900 and then THPS, those same kids were asking me how to skate or at least had some understanding and respect of what it took to skateboard.
