Tony Hawk

I mean, it really just brought me joy, even though I was obsessed with it and I was intense with it.

It was the one thing.

It was my release.

It was a goal that I had for over 10 years.

It's weird now because when you see skateboarding, I mean, I just watched, there was an event, a competition literally yesterday.

And this one kid, he literally is a kid.

I think he's maybe 14 or 15.

He would go down the starting ramp and start his run with a 900.

Wow.

That's out of the gate.

This is where we're starting.

Yeah, two 360s and 180.

It has become standard, but there are dozens of people that can now do it.

But for me, I did my first 720 in 1985.

Wow.

And that was a step forward because the year before someone had done the first, Mike McGill had done the first 540 backside.

So the following year I did a 720.

The years after that, I tried to do 900s, but I just could not figure it out because to do so, and we didn't have the kind of ramps that are available today.

I'm not trying to say like, you know, we...

Back in my day, but we didn't have those kind of resources.
