You really could not wish for a more humble, gracious, and kind man to be the face of skateboarding. Just a legend and role model through and through

Yo Ryan, my dad is 85 and I’m 28. I won’t lie, there are some hard parts of having an older dad but overwhelmingly it’s been positive, you’re gonna have a great time with your kid and that’s what’s important❤️

Funny how a lot of us comedy fans and comics all skate boarded growing up. I feel like I always loved individual sports. from skating, wrestling, to comedy. Super Sick to see Tony Hawk on the podcast. I love how Ryan has had a bunch of skaters on the pod.

Skater my whole life growing up then lost the ability when I moved

At 10, I lost my vision. At 12 I discovered Tony Hawk and skateboarding. I dove in 100%. I cried the night Tony did the first 900 because it was so meaningful. At 14, my dad died and skateboarding saved my life during high school. Tony is who I now, at 35, still look up to and introduce my kids to. Love you Hawk man and you too, Ryan!

@@booboobangbang6685 I understand. That's pretty cool of your friends. I've had bad vision since I was 7 (I'm 29 now) but I can see with glasses. Is your blindness just really blurry? Like can you make out general objects but everything is unclear? I'm fascinated by blindness - I'll probably be legally blind by the time I'm 60 lol. Eye problems run in my family. My grandma had macular degeneration and was legally blind when she got older, and my mom has had cataracts but got them removed. I know there's different types but I always wondered if there's people that see nothing at all vs. being able to see shapes but not see them clearly. I always have friends ask me what it's like to need glasses, now I'm asking you the same question! Hope it doesn't bother you, I'm just curious. It's awesome that you can still skate. I lost my dad last year at 28 and it destroyed me. I can't imagine how hard it was for you at 14. Keep riding bro

I grew up watching Tony and playing his games.. Made me want to skateboard which I went on to do for over a decade. What an awesome guy.

The “Tony Hawk” roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis hasn’t officially been called the Tony Hawk for like 9 years. I still don’t know the current name and refer to it as the “Tony Hawk” to this day

Six Flags St Louis has always been such a fun park over the years. I'm 34, and the 90s was so badass there!

Ryan has a gift he is always getting the best stories out of people!!

Two very influential individuals, sharing experiences and laughing through the good and the bad. Man I love this podcast

Mr. Hawk is such a chill, relatable dude. Love every podcast he has been on but his chemistry with Mr. Sickler was especially enjoyable

Nobodies better than ole sickle-cell at getting those unique stories out of people. I'm only a few minutes into this episode but I'm excited for this conversation.

tony hawk truly is the greatest ambassador you could have for your sport/art/hobbie whatever you want to call skateboarding.

This episode was even better that expected, and I have no doubt that Tony needs to come back. Ryan just cracked the surface.

Amazing! Tony hawk was the reason I started to skate when I was 4. The video games, the KZread tutorials on how to Ollie! Absolute legend! Big part of my life.

Sickler’s serious tone and facial expression when he asked Tony, “You broke your pelvis in a gorilla suit?” to automatically laughing hysterically in Tony Hawk’s face after he replied yes is absolutely hilarious. Just absolutely laughing at how ridiculous and stupid that is right in Tony’s face. lol. 😂😂

Ryan is the Tony Hawk of highlighting the lowlights!

If you grew up and skated in the 80s. Tony hawk was our babe Ruth. Awesome podcast as usual!!

Kinda sounds like he has some anxiety and imposter syndrome. It's interesting in his professional life he has learned to push through pain and being uncomfortable but in his personal one on one he seems to be forthcoming about how he never thinks he's good enough.

I've listened to countless interviews of Birdman. Don't think I've ever heard him get so serious and say "get help" like he did in this interview. That's what makes Tony so great is that he's genuine in his interviews.

I never realized that Tony Hawk Underground was so inspired by his real experience. I thought it was mostly made up. When he talked about checking pro for a comp when he wasnt, that happens in the game when the character decides to do it to enter the competition. A few other things

And Tony's impersonation of Stacy Peralta is spot on with Peralta's character in the game lol

I’ve been skating for over 20 years and this man has been a part of my life the whole time. I have nothing but respect and thankful for Birdman for keeping the fire burning and doing so much for the sport I love more than anything else… now I’m 33 and still skate as much as I can. Thanks Tony 💜

It's crazy that he's 53 and still learning new tricks

I’m a huge fan of Tony hawk and have seen pretty much every interview of his and I gotta say this is a good one. I love the podcast

“..in a gorilla suit” 😂

Didn't expect Tony Hawk's baseball story. That was deep. Ryan your rad! Love the pod. Your laugh is the best

“The Tony Hawk Of” has a nice ring to it

Still remember how excited I was to get home from school to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 on N64.. I loved the first warehouse stage, but HATED the Mall stage.. Great music, same for Matt Hoffman's game.

Always enjoy an episode of the honey dew with Ryan. Keep up the great interviews Ryan. Love highlighting the low lights.

Let’s go Sickler! Great guest great interview. This is the caliber guest your show deserves!

It's crazy that tony started skating at 10. I got a board when I was like 8 (because of his video games) and when I was 11 I couldn't even ollie. There was other kids in school that skated and I felt so behind and like I could never be good. If I knew that back then I would have went a lot harder with practicing. Ended up picking it back up when I turned 17 but stopped after I fell and busted my shoulder when I was 21. I miss skating

One of my fave memories is when Boom Boom Huck jam came to OKC… seeing Tony Hawk alongside the Oklahoma hero Mat Hoffman and Face to Face playing live as the soundtrack to the whole thing 🤯

got on the treadmill to do some short cardio and this drops / guess im walkin an hour! great stuff as always sickler

Hawk vs. Wolf is amazing, another great Twosdy. This show is Rad thanks Sickle Cell. FTCF5*'s

I love how Tony is so good his things work so well and clothes and items are so nice he needs no plugs

I wholeheartedly agree with changing the sayin to "he's the Tony hawk of ..." dudes an absolute legend

Amazing to watch this podcast get better and better every week. Happy Toosdee errbody!

What a great ep. He is the most down to Earth g.o.a.t. there is. He makes me proud that he is the ambassador of the sport I love.

Happy Tuesdee y’all!

Thank Frank Hawk for Tony being the easiest to deal with ;)

I didn't expect a GUN shoutout from Tony Hawk! Haha, that's a wild game. It was great to hear this side of things from him after seeing him on a few pods recently. Great pod again Ryan!

Who else can say they’ve personally plugged their 30yo company on a modern podcast. This is the stuff of legend.

Wow, what a great hour of listening!

The Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio had his roller coaster. I remember being on it when it was called the Tony Hawk ride. After a while it changed to a different name and I never knew why till now.

Damn this just dropped but I'm a stuck at work with no headphones can't wait to see it Sickle Cell!

HYPED FOR THIS ONE

Ryan Sickler is right! I grew up watching the Bulls (mom from Chicago) and Lakers (dad from LA) and Michael Jordan is “the Tony Hawk of 🏀” 💯💯💯

The 1st time I took my Nephew to Six Flags in Dallas, the Tony Hawk Rollercoaster was his very 1st ride. It was so much fun!

Love listening to tony , such an inspiration

Sickle cell love your pod needs to be longer

Sickler, you are a great interviewer!

What a beautiful Tuesday!

Love these shows on Toosday

You know, I was never a fan of Tony Hawk specifically, as I wasn’t a huge fan of vert skating. But in the grand scheme of things there are few people that have had a bigger influence on my life. Those video games got me into skating and alternative music and both of those things gave me purpose in my youth. Didn’t have any real great success with skating, but I became a musician and got a lot of great experiences and stories from it. Maybe I’d have gotten into music regardless but THPS definitely was a big inspiration. Great interview as always.

Tony Hawk is a national treasure. Can't wait to hear what Ryan can pull out of him.

There was a Tony Hawk’s Big Spin at Six Flags in Vallejo, California. It was like teacups on a track. Four coordinated people could get that thing spinning pretty good.

Love the Birdman. The admittance that his games and the career he chose shaped my childhood. Hawkman is a Respectable gentleman and god damn is he a professional. Great Interview Ryan!

Finally finished this episode. Such a great fuckin show. Love your interviews Sickler!

I’m from the UK so I can’t really do much to help but Sickler needs to be in theatres 💪🏻

Thank you very much to Tony and ofcourse Ryan for making this episode come to life!

That six flags ride was in Vallejo, man that thing was gnarly. You’d spin like in a teacup but you’d be riding downhill and doing flips while spinning. I think they took it down eventually because of branding but also because it just wasn’t that fun afterwards. Even roller coaster enthusiasts were getting sick

White Marsh Mall Reach for the Beach! Bought my 1st board there! Tony Hawk board Tracker trucks with Slime Ball wheels lol. Love the pod Ryan

commin out to vancouver from ALBERTA cant wait

Tony Hawk got me into Skateboarding. Rodney Mullen taught me how practice can perfect your skills.

tony is genuinely a good dude.
