Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skatepark Tour 2002 - Part 9 

I’ve been searching for this video for over a decade just to see Bam skate down the wall inside of a hotel.

My dad was the old guy in the blue shirt talking to Tony, "If more people knew this place would be packed right now," I was the kid in the xxl cowboys jersey with my brother in the red shirt in the same shot. We were leaving wal mart, and the bus drove past. My dad didn't exactly drive fast, but it was one of the only times I saw him drive "aggressively," to make sure we were right behind the bus and didn't miss a turn. He was in his early 60's, but a serious fan of skateboarding, because of his sons and his love for them and anything they (we) loved. He was freaking out like a kid with the rest of us, saying stuff to me like "did you see Bam just do a kickflip as if he didn't even notice?" And then he went home, about a mile (this is my childhood park!) to get my board and my brother's board, and stopped at a store on the way back to buy sharpies and disposable cameras. Ultimate dad. I'm positive that this was one of the best days of his life. On a weekend where he had us (we lived with mom about 5 hours away) he got to personally bring us to our "idols" or at least our favorite athletes, I had Bam sign my Bam deck while I wore Bam shoes and didn't even know he was gonna be there, and dad got to make it happen. I saw this episode two years after, before school one day on espn2. Found it again last year, refound it now, with the added bonus that at least watching the grand junction part in .5 or .25x speed is freaking hilarious, and then cabron is heartwarming. Sorry for the feelings and stuff, but the few seconds of him talking to Tony at the very end of this video are the only recording I have of his voice, and I have photos, but this is the only video that I'm sure exists of him.

There’s something about early 2000s skateboarding

I saw Alex Chalmers frontside the biggest gap at the Proving Grounds Skatepark in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Hanging out on the roof, drinking beer with those guys was super fun.

Dave Mirra and Mike Escalima with Tony hawk awesome

Mike V is Phil Anselmo on wheels! One of the most badass skaters of all time.

Seeing Ellis without a hat while getting the mud mask was the best part. Super rare sighting

Bro, how fucking epic is that bus dance party 😂😂😂😂

RIP @shaun white remember days like this?

Bro Sean White was lookn like an even bigger lesbian when he was younger.

I am the one who threw the beer into the bowl, I am the batman take me away.

Mike V is the definition of a true skater and Shawn White is the complete opposite lol

6:15 LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

ESPN legit removed this from the archive of their app due to lack of diversity

Back when Bam Margera was still a sick skater!

YO LOOK AT SHAUN WHITE!! He was 15 years old, dude. That's crazy.

Mike V talks like Ron Swanson.

Ever noticed how Bob B. Is the only Brazilian who doesn't sound Brazilian?

Bob burnquist - Skateboarding teaches you to stay young. Words I’ll never forget

"Redhot Chilli Peppers"

Skateboarding its like a climbing but maybe better.

Mike V and Tony Hawk are legends ❤

Ellis was hating on Shaun hard lol "If your not a man you shouldn't be on the bus unless your Tony's son" was kinda harsh 6:45
