Kevin has said in a podcast, and Tony agrees, skate until your wheels fall off. Staab has talked about stopping skating long ago to focus on music, only to meet up with Tony again and get re introduced to skating.

How can anybody gives a thumbs DOWN for this? Legendary Skate Spot. Legendary Skaters on it. Please people!!!

@@Nominay you must be young, but if you skate, thank people like this. 140 million is well deserved for the time and effort put in when literally no one cared about skateboarding. Remember the 90s? No skateparks, no big skate industry, no way to make a real career out of skating, then people like Tony Hawk, Andy Mac, Bob Burnquist, Bucky etc made the world pay attention, which led ESPN to continue promoting and building upon the X Games. He skated for decades without making millions and built his name and reputation up enough to be a successful face of a skateboarding game that went on to be one of the most successful franchises in the world, and inspired the next generation to actually attempt that stuff in real life, pushing the sport even further. But sure, shit on him because he made a living off of something that was treated as an outcast kids hobby for 50 years before it became the platform for people like Nyjah to make a real career.

Bring it back!!! I want a place to go back to!!! Unearth the whole park Tony Please the memories I have in this Ranch were endless my parents used to drop me off here and come back after hours... I freaking miss it.

Some old school moves in there, lol. These guys give me hope as I enter middle age:-). I still ride my board, though not as wreckless as I did 15-20 years ago, I still can show the young knuckleheads in my neighborhood a thing or two:-)

Tony can still rip! Jeez

wow thats so cool, its little things like this in life that hits close to the heart

Respect for Tony doing Berts! Paying homage

That was awesome. Thanks!

I think Tony is at a Yoda Level of skating now. He probably can skate without legs or without a deck, using Astral Projection or something....

There's something to be said for being half a century into your existence and still being able to look good doing something most people write off as being an activity for teens. Skateboarding is a hell of an equalizer.

Awesome great to see Hawk doing Berts in Del Mar ‘ditch’!

He has always been a punk since the 80s so your argument here is kind of dumb. He's true to himself and that's cooler than all the hipster bullshit we see today.

Grew up a half mile away from the Ranch. Like digging up a time capsule.

There used to be a drainage bank in my town that looked like this. I'd skate it for hours.

"The Wedge" too, in Scottsdale was a similar old school park, but skating with friends from Sidewalk Surfer's like; Kevin Stabb, D. Perry, the great - Andy Spade, and such.

SO GOOD!! I feel like we ended up at the Skate Ranch after Prom one year.....

Grant is such a great photographer. Del Mar would have been a great place to hone your craft.

Time sure flies!

Amazing !

What in the world! I did not expect to see tony throw down these flip tricks! wow! he just flicked it like nothing !

Why did Del Mar get bulldozed? I saw the SPOTS documentary and you could see that Del Mar was that one skate spot that even with its flaws it was awesome. Would be great if they dug it up and rebuilt it. Or at least make a replica of it for the new generation.

Skate Ranch had a big video game room and they used to race RC cars on a dirt track outside by the parking lot too. Rumor I heard was that it was shut down because they were running it with no insurance and some kid split his head open in the bowl.

This was the spot in the mid 80’s. They closed it down just when I was getting good.

surface sounds super rough ... or?

this is what skateboarding is all about

Soooooo...was the digging going on to bring the park back to life??? It would be so amazing if some of these pros with money *cough* tony *cough* would bring Del Mar back to life. Tony even said "its still all here" so it would just need renovation...can you imagine how sick it would be to have that back? Most of the younger folk have only experienced the "ramp & stairs" type skatepark, so having the bowls of Del Mar back in order...CMON MAN. The contests would now be televised, bringing in tons of revenue which would insure the parks continued operation. Both skateboards AND bikes...oh how wonderful!

Why the fuck did they tear it apart if it still a useless empty lot today? Why if the owner couldn't pay the lease or whatever that means for a place like this couldn't he just walk away and leave it there? The fact that they can even do this smokes the insurance argument because if that's the case this is still a liability. They should dig it back out and restore it as part of the cultural heritage of southern california and the town this is in.

Tony Hawks is a British comedian. I think you might be thinking of someone else...😃

Tony, I know you are 6'3" but a disability is not exactly forward motion. A master can see you are misplacing it as youthful exuberance. Skateboarding needs etiquette to break out of the false steps toward learning. That is how greed enters in and we are pushed from our human connection to one another. Is that why getting higher fails? I would rather learn from watching? It is a classroom right?

Tony looks gumby. Terrible style. Its awkward. Stick to big ramps.

did hawk just do a tre to fakie! who is this fucking guy, son must be keeping him tech... sick
