what an amazing project to pay honor to someone who will never know it ...thats so touching ... mystery guy will always be tony hawks idol and tony hawk will always be dans idol ... full circle if i do say so myself ... keep spreading the love and the love for digging deeper b/c u never what might come to u in the end of it all !!!
You’re kidding!?!? That’s insane the more I watch. How has nobody found this guy. With facial recogniztion and shit we need to find. Family member or something we need more info. The craziest part was knowing that was the start for skateboarding. So when Tony said this guy could have been skating for years before the “official start” but he might have been the first gifted skateboarder ever… keep spreading this that guys family will see it eventually
THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! Really enjoyed it and I like that although you did not ultimately find mystery skateboard man, it was such a stellar way to bring closure and pay homage! Just lovely.
This is a video that brings a smile to our faces. As one who's skated with Tony Hawk back in 2010. You get such a great memory of not just riding with a legend. But also a person who makes you glad to ride no matter your level.
I think so often in society people from certain countercultures, skateboarders, punks, metalheads, rappers, etc. get labelled as hooligans, miscreants (lol), or just bad people. But my experience in life has been that's where you can find some of the coolest and most kind people. They left mainstream culture and formed their own communities because they couldn't stand the meanness and hatred that come from a lot of "normal" people. And I think Tony Hawk is the perfect example of that. Time and time again I see him using his fame and success for good. To help others. And this is just another example of that.
This was so cool 😎 First heard about Tony Hawk when my son used to play some game, way back when .. he loved him and eventually he road around college on a long board cuz it was the only way to get to classes on time as they were far apart in distance lol Glad you got to met an idol, I know my son would love it, too. Aside from that, I love these stories you do and this was a true cool one 😎 ... maybe better than meeting the pilot... no, they are all great! Which would never happen if you did not do the stories so well ❤
Would of been great if you got an east coast skateboarder to do this, perhaps one who grew up skating NYC - Tri State Area. Just don’t know why it had to be Tony. Dude has enough shine on him weekly, (when he isn’t talking about himself that is)
I don't know, it sure does look a lot like that soldier guy. Was he a spec ops guy during Vietnam? That would make sense as to why his family would deny that was him. Spec ops are sometimes embedded with PSYOP personnel.
0:33 here it got little aahh complicated huh on left side, I guess if just cut middle part out, then merged all other then zoomed both would be easier. (Yes i understand it har been used generative fill to make the sides i am pretty sure)
really cool but would have been better to do it in fall when the leaves were off the trees, like in the original. Nitpick, i know. Tony was cool as a cucumber as always.
Honestly at this point I have no idea 🤷♂️ - that’s why I upload mainly on TikTok and IG. This algorithm doesn’t push my content to even my own subs it seems
I guess it probably might be being pushed now....because it just popped up into my reccomendation feed just now and literally the thumbnail caught my eyes attention while I was just randomly scrolling and not paying much attention at all tbh.....and then baaaaaaaaaaam out of nowhere........my eyes got directed to the thumbnail like a magnet.....and for some reason it was like just so mysterious and intriguing and so then right away I clicked on it.....and so then here I am lol. And so then right away I scrolled through his videos and THEY ALL got my attention and then that literally made me a subscriber instantly.
This is not normal at all there is some interdimensional or time incident weather travel or not there's something very special about the whole scenario
I’m confused, it looks like a early demo, the darker guy(barefoot) riding before him looks more core… The suit makes him look ironic, like now of days with men bombing hills in a dress…maybe that is core
Is it possible he’s not an American? Maybe skateboarding was popular in another at this time, more than in America. That would explain why he seemed so comfortable with the sport. 🛹

Thanks for making this video man. Why is it that every time I see Tony Hawk I respect him even more? What a guy
It feels like Tony's borderline choking up talking about the meaning of doing it

So cool. Tony is just the purest lover of skateboarding, and it makes me so happy. Thanks for doing this!
Absolutely loved this series. Such amazing work you have done, and do, Dan! Recreation photos are awesome!
I love how Tony was like "Fuck it, I'm rich, I'll pay for all of your flight tickets, let's do this".
Just so awesome
Amazing closure for this series!
Tony Hawk, forever the ambassador of skate. 🙏🤙

This, is awesome. Keep sharing the chapters of life, definitely inspiring
This was so cool 😎

AMAZING 💙💙💙
damn, that was beautiful
Loving your long form content on here.
Have also enjoyed watching this project as it has unfolded on TikTok.
Awesome storytelling as always!
also, should've gotten a crowd of onlookers! That's a huge part of what makes the photo so cool, is the gallery of spectators!
I already watch the vertical version of this, but I’ll re watch and like to support you
You’re a real one ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Tony is the best.
Followed from the beginning of this series. So cool! Hi from Cedar Park TX!
YOU DID NOT OMG I LOVED THIS❤
when you step on a board, no matter your skill level, we are all the mystery skater! especially if rolling solo!
Tony looks so much like the mystery skater, Maybe he had a time machine LOL
Unreal, you've come so long!
Thanks for doing this! So awesome.
Why haven't you been on Hawkvswolf yet 🤔???
Would of been great if you got an east coast skateboarder to do this, perhaps one who grew up skating NYC - Tri State Area. Just don’t know why it had to be Tony. Dude has enough shine on him weekly, (when he isn’t talking about himself that is)
Maybe a time traveler?

I want to meet Tony. I heard he is a great dude!
What a great video!

I don't know, it sure does look a lot like that soldier guy. Was he a spec ops guy during Vietnam? That would make sense as to why his family would deny that was him. Spec ops are sometimes embedded with PSYOP personnel.
are you going on hawk vs wolf?
0:33 here it got little aahh complicated huh on left side,
I guess if just cut middle part out, then merged all other then zoomed both would be easier.
(Yes i understand it har been used generative fill to make the sides i am pretty sure)
omg i saw also the light changes in the background, so.. Ah! Complicated, get him on a green screen and put same haha
really cool but would have been better to do it in fall when the leaves were off the trees, like in the original. Nitpick, i know. Tony was cool as a cucumber as always.
The picture shows that it was taken by somebody from Life magazine perhaps they know who the skater is.
The gay skating in the original photo can just be D.B. Cooper
Gay
Damn I can’t by that photo cause they can’t ship it to Austria
lol, the misterious guy's stance is better than tony hawk
Im so confused why aren’t you getting views?
Honestly at this point I have no idea 🤷♂️ - that’s why I upload mainly on TikTok and IG. This algorithm doesn’t push my content to even my own subs it seems
Yeah, It wasn't shown to me. Even though i Subscribed
I guess it probably might be being pushed now....because it just popped up into my reccomendation feed just now and literally the thumbnail caught my eyes attention while I was just randomly scrolling and not paying much attention at all tbh.....and then baaaaaaaaaaam out of nowhere........my eyes got directed to the thumbnail like a magnet.....and for some reason it was like just so mysterious and intriguing and so then right away I clicked on it.....and so then here I am lol.

I wanna get him into fpv freestyle drones. Its so comparable to skating its sickening.
What!!!!
I’m confused, it looks like a early demo, the darker guy(barefoot) riding before him looks more core… The suit makes him look ironic, like now of days with men bombing hills in a dress…maybe that is core
Hi
It bothers me that this photo looks like it was captured on a cell phone. The deep focus just looks bad.
Ethos
Finally I came second
I wanna get him into fpv drones. Its the same thing as skating. It's wild.
Tony needs to call it a rest. Go away.
I think you should take your own advice 👋
First
Second
Third!
I am really confused here. 60 years? How many years this man have now? In the original picture he looks like someone in his 30????
Is it possible he’s not an American? Maybe skateboarding was popular in another at this time, more than in America. That would explain why he seemed so comfortable with the sport. 🛹
