This is probably the most important interview for ME as a person who has held Tony in such a high place in my mind. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Tony when I was 10 years old in 1985. He STILL holds that spot. To hear Steve tell us of those early days is priceless. FOR TONY….Todd Falcon (Falcon Slide) is the one who showed me The Bones Brigade Video. We lived on the same street. He was the first person I ever saw skateboarding. He was launching over the front of his mother’s car.

U sound like a skater or definitely a skater fan. Is Tony still considered one of the greatest or has his age and the new skaters taking his throne?

As a 48 year old man returning to skateboarding after 30 years, Tony will ALWAYS be the GOAT to me. But his brother is a lot more rad than I initially thought. So hell yeah!

@@kingofoblivion1822tony will always be considered one of the best skaters ever because he did alot of stuff first, and when people weren’t doing crazy tricks as often. Todays skating is much more advanced and technical, but you can’t compare eras in sports.

That's rad! "Mom I'm jumping over the car" 😂

That is one cool ass big brother. Support like that early on is what made Tony a superstar

Right!? I grew up an only child in rural BF KY. I'd given ANYTHING to have had an older brother that was as down as Steve to get Tony into skating and just being a big brother. Pretty rad.

This is an embraceable episode with Steve Hawk. He's had such a nuanced career marrying his two passions of writing and surfing. It can't be understated what a pillar he has been in the surfing community, helming two major institutions-Surfer magazine and the now behemoth Surfline. What a charmed life to have gone from being a hard-hitting journalist to an editor of a major publication to Hollywood, Stanford, novel writing, philanthropy, and environmental conservation. His sense of humor and adventurous spirit shines in his stories. Thanks for this.

Who would have thought that Tonys brother is a bad ass.. surfing all over the world. Seems like a cool dude. Great podcast.

Watch tonya doc. His brother is definitely a bad ass.

Another Hawk + Hawk vs Wolf? Sign me up!

man - i started skating in 82 and everyone I came up with and skated with is from a broken home or a half family or adopted - we were all the misfits hanging out being the family for each other we didn't have at home. Seeing the Hawk fam all tight and solid and working for each other and doing great things for skating as a whole is really heartwarming. Really goes to show you what a little love and encouragement can do for a person. thanks for being you dudes. and much respect to to Frank Hawk for raising such dope kids.

This is such a sweet display of brotherly love, but Jason's love for Tony is adorable. Still makes fun of him, like any friend, but you can tell he still sees him the way he describes seeing him as a kid and considers himself lucky to be friends with Tony. And of course, while Tony is more toned down than Jason, it seems like the love is reciprocated. So awesome to see such healthy male relationships.

Love that the two Hawk Brothers have invested in each others visions and hopes for the future of giving everybody a chance at working towards better oneself. Skate parks, sharing stories and podcasts. These are my weekly favorites to listen too.

Hang in there brother, Better times are coming.

Best part about this podcast is the respect and bigging up they give each other and all the other skaters too. It's so refreshing. Imagine having a brother who was just so supportive of everything you do, but still every now and then keeps you humbled. Calling Tony a pussy in a magazine totally reminding him who the boss really is! Sibling ball busting at it's best

~~~So awesome Steve is a Rad Dude and how cool is it to be the one that turned Tony Hawk on to Sk8boading!!! "That's my brother~ You wish" classic!!! Great series epic show!!! Ride on y'all~~~

I bet Rodney and Steve would be best friends, both like empty places.❤

This is great. You guys need to convince Ken Park to come on the show. Its time we hear the Ken Park story.

You guys have been knocking it out of the park lately… yet again a great episode and Jason did a fantastic job keeping the conversation going when it could be easy for family to talk

Thank you steve for giving tony a skateboard. WOW. imagine if you never did that, we might have never got the 900

So cool, this is up there with Rodney’s episodes. Growing up idolizing Tony in Canada to the point of having my parents stalk the ramp in fallbrook on holidays, it’s so rad to have you guys share this. It was always evident the importance of family in Tony’s life. Ride on Brothers.

As someone who loves their older brother for opening their eyes to the world...this is the most precious podcast I've ever seen. Meanwhile, Ellis looks & sounds great...in his denim button up😊 ❤

Hawk vs Wolf vs Shark-Thanks for a great start to the week 🤙

Wow, Steve Hawks just as cool as Tony. Great interview!

As a kid growing up in San Clemente I always got stoked to see Steve paddle out for a surf!

That's really cool that you had that board after all of those years. I was saving all my broken decks and a couple years ago when my dad passed my brother threw away all of my stuff that was at his house and I had my old ratty shoes, broken and used boards. Really cool you guys share those memories

"Sibling Rivalry" my ASS. It's obvious these guys have love and respect for each other and always have. Great podcast!!!

In 🇨🇦 we surf in 8mm mitts not gloves in winter. You definitely need a hood and 8mm boots too. Need your toque (beanie) when you get out 4 sure! Never been to Alaska. Good thing the ocean doesn't freeze!!! 🍻 Cheers great episode!

This was another great one! Thanks for having Steve on; so interesting and entertaining in so many ways.

My brother is 10 years older than me and it's crazy looking back now at all the small stuff he did to help me with whatever I was passionate about at the time.

I learned to drop in at the skatepark in Walla Walla Washington. They have a ramp that goes from 0 to 6 ft of transition.

Hawk vs. Wolf vs. Seahawk! Great interview. Steve is so cool!

Let’s get an episode with Willy Santos, Jeremy Klein, or Tas Pappas. Admittedly I haven’t listened to this episode yet, I started at the beginning on my phone and currently listening to Eric Kostons episode.

That was sick, hope to see Steve back again

Just what the doctor ordered 😁🙌

Another amazing episode - thanks for bringing on Steve. And thanks for all you do for skateboarding every damn day

This was amazingly entertaining!! We want more family guests

Man Ellis really functions as a great interviewer in this episode. Love his reason for Tony to own is at the 8min mark.

I laughed so hard watching this vid. This is Gold!!!!

i'm 41 and i push mongo switch/fakie. i've been working on pushing switch, but i do still like seeing pros push switch mongo. it's kind of 'of its time' but i still like to see it

This was a really good episode. Reading his books from here on out.

Steve is awesome. Great interview 😎

😂😂😂 you should be! You’re Tony hawk’s brother 😂😂 gold man!! Love that guy

Carlin spit on me at a show (front row table at the time)... he was on a roll! I was honored!

are the ads getting shorter? seems like it... thanks!! also tony thanks for blessing milwaukee

Live on the sunset strip is a classic

If you spliced Tony with Marc Maron you'd get his older brother

Oh god, between two Hawks AGAIN? I felt a little sorry for Jason, but that stopped after his first few questions. Ellis comes equipped. Great talk once again, thanks guys!!

Love this. So dope! ❤❤❤❤

Steve is a super rad dude. No wonder tony is who he is

S:I push mongo and I'm embarrassed J: You should be 🤣 Brutal

Haha he’s talking about orland park skatepark in the Chicago southwest suburbs. It was called the grinding edge and you had to pay and wear pads… I had always heard that Tony came and the local newspaper quoted him for saying it was the worst skatepark he has ever been too. I had no idea that inspired the Tony hawk foundation so sick!!!

Good interview!

Great episode!!!

Real shit Chicago just recently started building good skateparks over the last couple of years. We used to have nothing but now we get like two or three a year in another random suburb.

Such good vibes! 🛹🏄🏼‍♂️

Steve Hawk, How You Do, Sir.. It is Great To See You..!!!!!!

I started to see a few sarc interludes that reminded me of the david spade episode. more of that please lol.

Love the NES 720 box in the background.

Great podcast

Not many people can say that their first board is in the Smithsonian and that they skated it after donating it and that they skated in the whitehouse.

Are you going to let me tell the story or not?😂 jason is quiet for 3 minutes..

"eyes were popped out of their heads like dogs balls" Steve...... Thats the best quote that just got washed over as they missed Jason talked over the end...

Steve is a legend in the surf scene.. Unfortunately Jason has no idea lol Most of the craziest slabs in the world where first surfed by prone bodyboarders. But it's funny to picture him been held down by a 3ft wave 🤣🤣🤣 Tony stand-up bodyboarding is unreal to know 🔥Hawaiian's like Chris Won were guns at stand-up bodyboarding.

"Oh really at the store?"😂

Jason: gives a pretty heart felt story about his son relating to Tony Then… Steve: Tony I just realized you were really good at math

The most hived ass is a great title for an episode.

Good 148th episode Jason hanging out with two siblings was pretty funny specially when you’re older brother said you gonna let me tell the story and Jason goes OK I’m gonna shut up and you can see him just trying and trying to not say anything funny stuff

I love hearing about Antarctica.

😂i used to be so jealous that my brother could push mongo. Now im glad i couldnt get it. But it still looked cool to me.

I’m so glad I got bullied out of pushing mongo as a kid lol

I'd buy Tonys book. There is a UK comedian called Tony Hawks. I have his book called "Tony Hawks - The A-Z of skateboarding" it is comedy. Ellis should check him out. He would be a good guest. Please. Peace and love all

Who are the awesome adults who built the first skate spots? they deserve some acknowledging

Great episode. Side note... does anyone know the relevance of the red "jelly mold" looking thing behind Tony's head?! I've noticed Ben Raybourn has 1 as his insta pfp aswell!!!

That dudes super tight lol

Saved the best for last

Tony Hawk could have been named Steve Hawk...

❤️‍🔥

Two Hawks, One Wolf.

When I was a kid I saved up for a year, raking yards or anything to make a dollar. Bought a Hawk board and the first day I rode it, about 12 years old, I got jumped and they took my fkn board

💚

🤩

They have to get Tony's other brother Mike on the pod
