  • Tony Hawk is the consigliere of skateboarding and an icon of pop culture. He's got more than a dozen X-Games medals, was named the top vert skater every year from 1984 to 1996, and boasts one of the most commercially and critically successful video-game franchises of all time, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But how is he with spicy food? Find out as The Birdman makes his triumphant return to Hot Ones and takes on not only the wings of death, but also the brand-new Hot Ones Hot Pockets-now available nationwide. Along the way, he discusses the evolution of skate slang, tales from the grommet come-up, and the Space Jam follow-up that almost was.

      A lot of sports have their legends but if you asked me who's the biggest legend of any sport it has to be the man "Tony Hawk" and the sport "Skateboarding". What other sport has one person had such an impact... maybe Michael Jordan in Basketball but Nike marketing him to people has a lot to do with that. Tony Hawk never had a brand like that pushing him.

    It's amazing the longevity that Tony Hawk has had. He's around 11 years older than me, but I remember being a very young kid and skateboarding and he was a pro then. And then all he has accomplished, and given back to skateboarding. Even after I stopped skateboarding 20+ years ago is around when THPS and those games came out. I played most of them endlessly. He is someone I very much looked up to, and he was a good role model for younger skateboarders to have all these decades up til this very day. He's our Michael Jordan. An absolute living legend. Much love and respect to Tony Hawk.

Super cool guy, very chill and down to earth. I showed him a couple sick lines I always wanted to try but was never good enough to come close to landing. He nailed one of the transfer gaps after he was warmed up… as you’d expect. It was sick for about 15min until word spread that he and the boys were there and hundreds of people showed up and it was chaos.

    Tony Hawk rules. I've been skating for 23 years and when I was a kid, I thought Tony Hawk was corny because he was the "mainstream" skater, despite the irony of me starting skating after playing THPS 1. Only in adulthood did I realize that Tony's leadership and ability to infiltrate the mainstream allowed for every pro skateboarder behind him to make a decent, if not, very nice living off the sport. And he's always stayed a cool, humble dude. Truly the GOAT.

I hope Tony Hawk realizes that he is a huge reason for that change. Like he is a massive, massive part of making skateboarding more mainstream, and accessible. He is such a good role model for skateboarding culture, honestly.

    Tony Hawk is just the perfect example for anyone who cares about something deeply. If you're into knitting or drone racing, be the champion for your passion like he is. Even if it fails to take off, you have that mentality of taking your passion to others. I think hes a model example for the pinnacle of human achievement and general humbleness, as long as they wont destroy him, send him to the aliens as an example of what a human can be.

    I'm 74. I first started skate boarding in Seattle as early as 1963. We stole the trucks/wheels off of the roller skates at the local skating rink. There were no skateboard shops or parks. We primarily went for speed down hills. I broke a finger once during a local competition held in a parking lot. My trick was a 360 spin on the rear wheels then I fell. We once got pulled over by the local police for speeding down a hill. He used his lights to pull us over, but since we didn't have brakes, we had to just let it run out at the bottom of the hill. We were not looked at very favorably back then. In the early 70s, in Palo Alto, we once again started boarding. With the new wheels it was into empty swimming pools that had been drained. Everyone built their own boards, I still have mine in solid oak, flat.
