Tony Hawk's last video segment. While it is sad to know I'll never see him skate again, it is awesome that at 55 years old he is still making difficult tricks look easy (the 360 shuv it to Smith grind at 38 seconds in, is masterful). Great to see the original "Bones Brigade from 1981 still...
Also, I realize that I made a few posts recently that have completely missed the mark of my intended purpose seemingly getting a few people upset, and far from my intended meaning. I'll try and do better with more concise posts.
In skateboarding ....49 is ancient. That is what I mean.
It isn't the number, its how I feel doing it.
Everything working against me including the biggest issue, balance. Which is a fraction of what it was in 1990.
I turned 49 on Monday. I bought a new skateboard, and despite feeling old, I skated pretty well...considering I'm a fossil.
This is my favorite skate video from 1989. Tony Hawk n his absolute prime.
