TONY HAWK'S FIRST X GAMES | World of X Games
Спорт
In 1995, ESPN introduced The Extreme Games to the masses. Billed as a weeklong competition, The Extreme Games (later changed to X Games) brought out the top action sports athletes in the world, across skateboarding, BMX, inline skating and more.
At the time, Tony Hawk was one of a few veteran pro skateboarders on the scene, successfully making the jump past the skateboarding craze of the 1980s, into a more underground, authentic scene spawned during the 1990s. But all that was about to change. With a boost of commercial exposure from ESPN and The Extreme Games, Tony Hawk would become one of the most recognized names in skateboarding throughout the world. And to this day, Tony's name is synonymous with skateboarding, thanks in part to the momentum created here. Take a look back at Tony's first vert and "street" runs from July, 1995.
And oh yeah, Tony took home the first Extreme Games gold medal in Skateboard Vert.

When you listen to Tony talk about how hard it was to make a living as a vert skater in the early 90s, I really believe the X-Games saved his career and brought him even greater success than he had in the 80s. Those Tony Hawk games and tech decks were my life as a kid!! Then I got into transworld magazine and the ccs catalog. My actual skating days were short lived 🤣but Tony played a big role in my childhood!!
Tony Hawk is the Michael Jordan of skateboarding.

He was pretty much a seasoned vet already then, considering he was skating since he was a child. Catching attention

Legendary Pro Skater Tony Hawk
1995. And already a " legend " i always wondered what would have happened if Christian Hoisoi( a legend in his own right) woulda taken a different path. He was the one guy that could have made Tony #2.
Flawless and peerless
The greatest skateboarder of all time.
Throwback Thursday

The wheels were too small and slow for the vert ramp.
Legend
When street was the same as vert but smaller ramps and you had to push between transitions.
