God this brings back memories. I owned this and Girl Yeah Right on VHS. Im now 32 and still skateboarding. I still wear pads even today on the streets. Gives me that added confidence. When i go skatepark me and my friend are known as the old timers but the youngsters show us a lot of respect as we are essentially one of them at heart. Skateboarding really does bring people together.

I was obsessed with this vhs. I would study it intensely over and over and still couldn't do half the stuff. Almost 20yrs later and I've picked up skateboarding again and come back to this

One of my Childhood videos on VHS

I used to watch this on loop when I was 10/11 (22 now) I still love skateboarding but never really got good at it x°D yet, amazing memories

I have been skateboarding since April and have been SO frustrated how I could never learn anything, then one day I go to a skatepark, and this really nice rasta guy teaches me how to drop in and rock to fakie. That gave me motivation to ollie a few weeks ago, then to shuv-it today, and to hopefully pop shuv-it soon. Note how after all this time (7 months) of just riding all over the place doing nothing productive like learning tricks that after about 1-2 months that I learnt what I think is so much. I also learnt a few freestlye skateboarding tricks and hippy jump stunts recently. I am not bragging about this (well actually I am a bit) but I am just saying that if you have started skateboarding or have spent years but don't seem to get the hang of it, don't give up.

They make it look so easy..

God I watched this over and over. Skateboarding is the best.

"Parents generally don't appreciate skateboards on their carpets" hahaha that comment though How nostalgic! My brother used to watch Tony's tricks to learn skateboarding. I watched my brother train but never got to skate myself. I just really like it but i'm afraid it's a little too late to begin now that i'm 19. Five years ago i used to climb trees and fall off and get up like it was nothing. Now i'm even too lazy to go out... What a shame.

Mannnn what a throwback I rember going and renting these on VHS from BlockBusters and never returning them 🤣

I would rent this vhs from my local library as a middle schooler :(

I just started 5 days ago, and I can do an Ollie lol only when not moving. Today I'll be trying to do it in motion!

And the guy saying Prince George county doesnt have a skate park. what about MT Rainier and the new proposed Woodside? And doesnt Montgomery County have a skate park also? Ive seen them in most small towns through out my travels. Maybe not much but something is better then the nothing I had growing up.

The tip about Ollie's . When he said "slide your front foot in a rolling motion" ; this is a great tip because generally when your in the heat of the moment you tend to do a mix of a slide and a "kick" this hurried motion causes you to slap the outside of your front foots ankle. If you use a rolling motion, as Tony said, it utilizes the "ball"of your foot, in contrast to the slap of a "kicked" slide off the front foot.

Hoooooly this brings back memories from waay back

I have worn airwalk skate shoes for years and they are at an affordable price and are sturdy and comfortable to wear there are plenty of choice of different designs,i have never had any problems and when you are skating all skate shoes start to wear from the grip tape etc....

Down the nostalgia rabbit hole... I remember getting this tape from a box of kraft dinner

Omg the nostalgia I’d watch this religiously before bed lol

This is amazing great job I am a huge fan

Tony hawk emphasized the importance of wearing pads and a helmet, yet his friend lacks any protective gear. He really should have suited up at least for the video, but was probably overwhelmed by the "uncool" factor… Oh the dilemmas in life some people face.

excellent tips

watching tony fuck up that kickflip made it 1000x easier to learn

But lives on through the Internet with people searching for that time machine that brings back memories in vivid detail.

I'm a skateboard instructor and this video gave me some good ideas on how to teach some of these kids who are not as skilled as others.👍

No bullies just have fun and skate right

Thanks Tony!

Anyone trying to find out the song around 34:50 (lyrics start "what went wrong, takes too long") . I emailed the video company years ago and morgan the director told me it was a demo song given by the band "mobius". She told me shed mail me a copy of the cd but never did :(. The song unfortunately is not on the web. Still haunts me to this day

Man, i haven't seen this for fuckin years! Mega nostalgia! My aunty got the VHS for me for my birthday

Tony hawk you are the best skateboarder your cool

Who’s here showing love in 2020

i learned it on gravel it gives the pop of concrete but your board cant slip out from underneath you.

Actually Tim Scroggs and a few other free-stylers did what is the original kickflip. We would hook our toe under the deck and kick and flip the board while jumping. Rodney Mullen took it to a new level with a bit of pop to it and now it is what today what we call a kickflip...

Da hora tony hawk 2

Hi guys. I'm Lancelot, currently living in Morocco. Growing up, I'm not really a sportive guy, but I've come to fall in love with skateboarding. I really love it, I even bought a board, but I've NEVER tried it before. I would really appreciate it if someone help me to. (Will be like a dream comes true)

@audreyzammit1361

What you can do is buy a good skateboard and ride it, if you don't have balance tighten the trucks so it would be stable, get comfortable with it, try going down ramps and when you want try an olie, nolie,pop shuvit, kickflip, then master all the other tricks. Have fun : )

@TakumiJoyconBoyz

9 жыл бұрын

Lancelot Waka Yeah, the key is to start off simple. Just ride it every day as a form of transport when you only need to go short distances, or if you take public transit you can use it to get to your bus or train. Worry about the other stuff once riding has become second nature. Also, a lot of people I know learned how to do manuals as their first trick since it's a very simple concept and easier to practice than ollies. It will also improve your balance to help prepare you for other things down the road. I hate playing most sports but I love skateboarding as well.
