Broke my neck. Edit; was around 17 tried to fs boardslide down a flat bar, not knowing my idiot friend waxed a metal rail, the board slipped and I woke up in the hospital with a neck brace. Fucked me up, bad for life. Barely made it in the army and now I have chronic scoliosis.

It's tough watching videos like this because it's like vicariously watching tony become self aware of not only the end of his career but the end of his ability to skate. It's an inevitability but heartbreaking to watch it go down. Thanks Tony for everything you've done for Skateboarding, I don't skate anymore but my life wouldn't have been the same without the games, the videos and trick tips that you contributed.

He ain't done yet sir. I guarantee you. I'm a physical therapist for older adults and a skater. This man ain't going down yet. Inevitably our muscles get weaker with age but the longer you push, the longer you will keep it, well up until weeks/months of death. Will he be skating exactly the same? Maybe not. Will he still be better than most of us? Most likely.

It's tough but it has only made me admire him far more. The fact he's facing such existentially terrifying experiences so openly, viscerally and vulnerably while still reminding people both of the importance to continue doing what you love but respect the changing tides of life is maybe his most important gift to us all.

@@wyattchew9996 yes, especially when you realize skating itself has never been just specifically about how "good" you are or a competition with others. It's a self achievement or battle with the self, and a lot of it is driven with passion, that doesn't rely on how "bad" or "good" a person is doing, but how they are experiencing that battle with themselves.

I had foot surgery earlier this year and now I’m fighting a knee injury (I’m 56) and I keep telling myself if Tony can do it so can you. He is so inspirational in so many ways.

More of a warrior then most of us, but you can see the vulnerability in his eyes. Almost tough to watch.

What a living legend! Tony's character serves as proof to where he is today. So much drive and such an inspiration. I can't imagine how hard it is to come back from such a serious injury and at the age he's at.

As you get older, your bones get more brittle and break easier. Just the facts. Take it easy Hawk, we need you skating when your 80

Easily one of he greatest ever. Even though it's not my style, I still have tremendous respect for him for helping skateboarding become what it is today.

Truly heartbreaking wishing the best to tony on this hard time hopefully he will overcome this much love and positive thought for birdman🙏

I broke my foot this past June in a skating accident. I have an extra bone in the back of my heel called the Os Trigonum which made healing really hard. But seeing Tony keep working and fighting (plus the story of Lizzie's mega ramp slam) really keeps me going to heal up. I am finally able to walk fairly normally! now it's all strength building on my right foot.

You can't keep the Hawk down! Give it time and we'll all see him soaring again! 🙏🤙🙏🤙

Tony's amazing! I really hope he reaches a full recovery; at least enough so he isn't hindered in his skating!

Inspiring. I’d love to see a series of older skaters giving tips on staying healthy enough to keep skating as they get older. I’m 32 and as soon as I turned 30 it seems like it’s been non stop small injuries that come out of nowhere and take forever to heal.

I’m 36 and luckily able to stay pretty injury-free still. The one thing I know attributes to it is maintaining a strength training program. Whether it’s lifting weights or calisthenics, that with stretching and mobility just helps promote longevity and prevent injuries. Ain’t getting any younger so we gotta implement this at least 2-3 times a week. Keep shredding tho

Inspiring. Played hoops more than 35 years. Twisted my wrist, ankle. Broke my nose, slipped disc lumbar and cervical area. Would still be playin at 56 but my c23, 45,67 ,T1 are so messed up my doctor told me to stopped. I cant run anymore becoz the disk would flare up. I do ride my bike with my neck brace just around 30mins. The exercise i do regularly is lying down and doing dumbell press with a towel beneath my neck. Sports is life to me regardless of my age. Man, i miss my youth so much playing hoops everyday. Never regreted going hard even with all the issues i have.

I broke my collar bone skating a few months ago. Felt like the end of the world when I couldn't skate, 47yrs old it some what dented my confidence too, but slowly getting more confident again. For a serious injury like that Tony, big props to you for giving it 100% to get back on the board. Stay strong 💪 ✨️

We’re all proud of you man. I’ve been keeping up on your progress on the hawk vs wolf podcast. Like musks just said breaking his ankle can’t stop skateboarding.

I had a rare femur surgery 11 weeks ago and watching this sent me on an emotional rollercoaster. I'm 11 weeks out and I've been doing PT as well. I am still working on range of motion and using a cane, I can't imagine trying to do a kickflip. I hope Tony and Ed can work together to achieve all his healing goals. :]

To say this man has been an influence in my life is a gross understatement. Reading books about him as a kid, getting into skateboarding, the culture, the style. It's hard to see time changing it

I just watched Tony hawks first 900 video and it’s fire

I watched it live. It's aged very well. Pure steez and determination.

It must be hard when you spent most of your youth without a major injury and then age catches you out. Healing takes way longer after 40. Im 48 now, but had a lot of bone breaks in youth. It heals well and quickly in your teens to 20's though. My collar bone is twice the thickness of my other one from a drunken high speed crash on a bmx. I skated the next day with a broken wrist when i was 14. My friend loaned me a wrist guard and we cut the heavy hospital cast off. I slept with the wrist guard on instead. 😂 Breaks when your young feel like they set back stronger but ache badly now with age. I can literally tell what the weather will be tomorrow by which bone aches the most.

better to don't get injured while young, much better. not healing is better than healing. He would have stopped skating anyway, he is 50 years old.

"It's not all the way there. There's still a piece of my leg missing not fully healed" but yet your still pulling off air tricks! Tony is the number one GOAT of skateboarding!

That pain and worry about wether you’ll ever be able to skateboard again hurts so much more than the injury. Hope he heals up or finds something that also gives him meaning. I garden now and cruise on my longboard sometimes.

Cant get enough of some good ol' Tony Hawk!

One year ago I broke my collar bone while riding…i dont have the guts to go on a skate again..I am 36 now.

this is real sad. As skaters I think we all know the fun could end in an instant. For me it wss three years ago. I thought I would skate for life and Tony has always been an inspiration for that. Keep it going! Legend

The man's got no quit in him. So damn inspiring to see.

Tony Hawk Legend! I wish you health and all the best!

Very warrior you will be fully recover and walk again we are rooting for it🇧🇷

Great story. The animations were hilarious. 😂 Tony will b back before we know it. 👏🏼❤️

dang, didn’t realize it was that bad and ongoing

Even at 54 your still the GOAT. Thank you for sharing this

Its hard to see any skater in that condition, especially one you've been watching your whole life. Hopefully he's able to come out of this enough to accomplish the things he feels like he has left to do with skateboarding.

broke my femur 8 years ago all i used to do was skate ever since then ive been to afraid to get on a board again the fear of landing wrong or to hard on a bad leg is terrifying. I decided to get into mountain biking instead haha.

Man I been recovering since 2021 .Tony no weapons formed against us will prosper I promise. Glad to see the progress

Hard to see him impacted, but he is getting older, i just hope he heals and is able to skate again

Every human being wish to find a passion for something like this man as found it in skating

What an absolute legend this man is.

I had a "tib fib" (broken tibia and fibula) in my left leg almost 30 years ago. I ended up with a titanium rod in my leg for about 18 months. Had to have it removed because it was causing me pain when ever the barometric pressure changed rapidly. I remember one day I was walking back to my office on the campus of SDSU, and I collapsed in pain. It was early spring and a high pressure system had developed with Santa Ana winds.

Genuinely one of the most impressive people of the 20th & 21st century. Not just because of his abilities, but his mentality and personality

Living legend🔥💀🔥

I spiral broke my fibula and tibula while simultaneously shattering my ankle and cracked a growth plate all in one bail… I haven’t been able to skate the same since, basically the older we get and the more injuries we get we need to overcome and sometimes sadly ride a little less hard. But still ride.

when legends get old

I broke my femur bone January 2022. Good Ole Wisconsin, slipped on the ice and my left side of my body took the force, instant femur break. Almost had to have a hip replacement. Shits no joke. I still can't really even trust myself to push on a skateboard...

that snapping sound effect makes my whole body shudder.

dude is such a legend man. played such a huge part in making skating what it is today. i wish nothing but the best for him.

Tony hawk is a legend in skateboarding and respect for everything he's done for the sport. But comes a time when the risk outweighs the reward with extreme sports

I can;t imagine. I broke my shoulder recently and the recovery was... devastating to say the least. At least I didn't have to walk on it!

Stay strong Tony.... You're already a hero in almost every extreme action sport fan, you don't need to risk your physical health to prove anything. We already know how awesome you are.... 😊😁

All the love birdman.. :)

I’m no skateboarder by any means. But mad respect for Tony, he’s a true athlete and “beast”. Life changing injury, surgery, right back to the board…..true love of the sport.

Great guy ! Big love to the hawk ❤️

Tony should look into Travis Pastrona’s doctor. But, yeah. If Travis can do it, Tony can do it too.

I'm middle aged, and I broke my fibula skateboarding 5 days after Tony broke his femur. I saw him walking shortly after and thought I had it worse than him because I couldn't walk whatsoever. Nope. He definitely has a worse injury. It's been over 6 months, and I'm finally pain free. That's more than I can say for Mr. Hawk.

He was literally riding in the Vert Alert back in July. You could tell he didn’t have it all back but it was incredible to watch him try. It was like watching Kobe Bryant.

Damn does this mean Tony is doing a 540 on Monday??? Or that we get to see one he did recently?

Never give up super bro!!! 🎉

Daddy Bez😍 That guy's my PT professor and he is the GOAT!

I work in the medical field and hererotopic ossification is super scary

You're the man Tony.

You got this Tony. You’re a super hero! I know this because a really fantastic band even wrote a song about it. Only a select group of people know.

I am nervous for Monday.

Flying high even on the ground.

In my mid 50's now there is lots of skateboard tricks I know how to do in my mind, but the bulging discs in my back say no to the pain and my mind says no to the risk. I used to drop into vert ramps like it was nothing and now I am afraid. Clearly, Tony and his aging body are also in conflict.

my brother broke his femur when we were kids and had to be in a full body cast for three months and relearn to walk

I'm sure people tell him all the time to tone down the skating at his age but if you could do what he's done and does on a skateboard how could you really want to stop doing amazing skating like that?

Yeah, definitely thanks to modern surgery : I recovered from torn acl and ripped meniscus when I was in my 40's , I still ride today due to good medicine! Keep it up with your doctors and rehab gym, Tony, and you'll soon be spinning till you turn 60 :))

His board is super cool

Go Tony! You can do it!

When I was kid through 90’s and early 2000’s Tony Hawk may as well been Micheal Jordan’s younger cousin. Living legend.

He has been skating already, I watch hawk vs wolf. What a badass I love Tony and the attitude of skateboarders.

geddon tony! your a trooper!!

A bad injury indeed, but all part of the game and this will not end skating for Tony. If Matt Hoffman can keep going then so can he. Keep on riding Tony!

Tony that shows you how to not give up and I have been afraid of breaking a bone what would you tell people who are getting back to skateboarding

e com o preço alto dos medicos nos estados unidos, imagina a grana que custa ser skatista la...

Everyone is seeming to gloss over the VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA listed in his issues for this injury.

Protect Tony Hawk at all costs.

At this present moment... I am actually better at skating than Tony Hawk. Hopefully this isn't true for much longer, get well, buddy.

You can also see how bad his necks range of motion is, probably has fucked up shoulders as well. You can see right at the begging where he mentions the ramp he looks over at it and looks like he is stiff as a board.

I had this kind of injury about 30 years ago...not fun :/
