The understood the importance of him landing it. It's one trick they knew would never cost them a gold in a skate contest or anything, but it put skateboarding on the map. Definitely one of the biggest moments in the history of sports. That trick elevated the sport to insane heights.

I remember watching this live. Man I'm getting old. IMO one of the best events in sports history. People have no idea how incredibly damnably impossible a 900 was on a vert ramp in the 90's. Most couldn't even rip a 720. And then a legend does the impossible in front of other legends. Legendary.

I was there June 27 1999. It’s a tradition to visit that site and do it every year! The “X GAMES” logo is still there imbedded in the concrete,if your around the area it’s gated/fenced now and you have to climb over the fence or try to find a way in. If your sav enough you’ll find a way. It’s next to the Bay Bridge. 😎🤙🏼🍺🙏

Damn dude, I remember watching this video after I started skating when I was 9. This trick alone probably helped inspire the my life since then. People can call this guy a casual or whatever they want, but this guy touched a lot of people believe it or not. All in 1 seemingly impossible trick.

I was 15 when I watched this live. I had been skating for 7 years at that point and only knew it was hard and you got clowned constantly. This showed me what it was about. This is why I still skate.

Legendary.

such a legendary trick, got the same feeling with travis prastranas double back flip

Bucky Lasek skating the vert ramp like a ledge was great.

Tony Hawk Sucess as a pro skateboarder has came a long way too bad he retired that same year in 1999 but this when he first came out with his game Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game turned pro in the '80's went on to be the best and greatest of all time throughout his whole life skateboarding never stop skating all the is his life legend he had good life always keeping his life private so cool.

I love the level of respect in the fact that all of the skaters just stopped skating to see Tony get the 900

Dude, they're doing stuff that would still win you competitions. That's fuckin insane!

"This is the best day of my life," Said Tony in the heat of the moment, but after remembering his two wedding days, as well as the births of his two children, one of which was born just 3 months prior; He continued "I swear to God".

This will always be legendary

That 900 was legendary the instant it happened. Just awesome ;)

Still get goosebumps watching that 900 land. Watching it live was something else.

Imagine if Bob Burnquist landed the 900. We would have all be playing BBPS this whole time.

I know I'm a year late but this isn't true. The game only came out 2 months later. It was already fully developed with his name on it. They actually had to add the trick in. This just helped boost publicity and sales massively, and happened to be impeccable timing not only for Tony and Neversoft, but for anyone that stood to make money of the game. Absolute fairytale.

so much hype there that day. awesome.

3:46: "WTF I'M DID?"

I remember watching it as it happened! Every time I watch it, I laugh and smile. :)

Even though I know the outcome. I’m still getting pumped watching him try

this video is ill. i watched this all those years ago but i just got chills again

For anyone they seen this live on tv, ESPN played it on tape delay. It was filmed earlier and edited down for time constraints. Otherwise the word "Live" would appear in the corner. The 2002 Winter X-Games were the first to receive live coverage on the network. The only way you saw it unfold in real time is if you have a ticket stub for that date
