I'm a huge hawk fan but I'm tripping so hard that he was able to do that curved handrail in the house what that was wild for anyone honestly. Especially someone who isn't as street oriented.
I totally forgot he sucks at street skating. His boardslides look like the kid who's trying to get them on lock down the handrail at the park lolol. More props tho, u can tell that handrail wasn't cgi
@@jiffywaxjesus1951 the landing was cgi, he landed on a pad. still though, the fact he held it all the way through is insane considering how much effort he put into vert his entire life and not rails
He recently just came out with a pretty extensive "street" part on the Berrics I think. He rips still and he is in his 40's so for people to claim he sucks at street are just wrong considering his focus is vert.
He's not selling out at all, he's business smart. Just marketed his iconic image a little and now he's set up for life, and even uses summa it for charity too.
lilppblunt right? Like, it’s a good choice. He got the bag. He’s feeding his kids. He’s got a house. How can you fucking blame the man for doing business with big corps to benefit himself and his family. He didn’t sell guns, cigarettes and alchohol, he sold some fucking microwave food and endorsed a car. Big whoop. Keep it up Tony.
Tony Hawk did more than any other person to promote skateboarding and get it the recognition it deserves, and next year in Tokyo it will become an Olympic sport. The man is in his 50s and still skates (very well), and his son Riley is a beast too. Tony has dedicated nearly his entire life to skateboarding, and I'm glad he was able to make some good money in the process. I personally would like to give a sincere thank you to Tony Hawk for his dedication to this great sport.
@@user-md3is4dq2d Of course not, you are good at something, you better be paid to do it. Imagine being one of the best living guitarists in jazz, someone offers you to play guitar in their commercial but they'll won't pay you, would you still do it? Even if it's going to spread more jazz music to the world?
William Gerardi Exactly me too, hes the biggest household name in skating props to him for putting in the work throughout all these years just to promote skating
@@auto1nfanticid3 yup , was done before him , way before him i think it's time this guy hung up his skate board and looked at the trees for little while find another hobby , kinda sick of seeing his face EVERYWHERE and still talking about the same boring tricks boarding has moved on past his boring ass , it's not 1982 mate , go sit your ass down and let the kids play
The Doritos commercial is very cool. The idea that he's constantly skating - even in the shower - and that punchline at the end with the shopping cart is perfect.
Well the thing is selling out is going against your beliefs and principles for money. So when most people point at someone for selling out, they’re really not selling out. Selling out would be if someone who didn’t like smoking, did a commercial for a cigarette company. But if you think Doritos are cool, then there is literally nothing wrong with being paid to promote them.
Yep, and anyone who called him a sellout would have gladly taken the same opportunities and commercial deals as he did. If Doritos came to me and offered me a ton of money hell yes I am taking that deal. I'd be the sellout because I don't eat Doritos lol but financial stability is really nice to have.
exactly. If it goes against what you believe in, or it’s just something you don’t like at all, that’s what I would call selling out. If you’re doing it because it’s something you actually like, that’s not selling out. that’s just doing what you love, while having the added benefit of earning some extra cash.
The fact that all these contained real skating and he had stories behind them that werent just "oh yeah they gave me a lot of money to show up here" is great
To be fair, most of the money is finding its way to building skateparks around the country or at least helping to get them funded. People look at it as selling out to sell Bagel Bites and Doritos, but I see it as using mega corporations' advertising budget to add visibility to skateboarding and ultimately fund more skateparks to grow it. Skateboarding doesn't have to be some hidden activity, as long as the ads depict real skateboarding and not William Spencer nonsense or mongo pushing longboarding I'm fine with it. I'd rather Tony Hawk be in an ad than some poser that's been skateboarding for a week trying to represent it to the world.
Jenkem core af. I low-key used to hate on Tony just BC I was in to street and I was a poser rat boy. Once I started skating bowl I learned to appreciate him so much. He's one of the largest influences in skating. OGs like Andy Roy, Phelps, Daewon rodney etc can't be forgotten. To outsiders looking in this was consider the pinnacle of skating for such a long time and in twenty years skating will b even crazier. What started my journey was Tony Hawk underground 2 my aunty patty gave me for my 10thbday I still skate and would hopefully like to as long as you Tony. RESPECT
FUN FACT: I met George Clooney in a very obscure little bar in Phoenix Arizona called Merc Bar (at least it was obscure at the time). It had a tiny little neon sign outside that just said “BAR” with a martini glass. Anyway, I saw Clooney there and asked him about Batman. I mean, talk about embarrassing. Batnipples and all. And his answer was “I had ten million reasons to do it”. You can’t argue with that.
Tony's really the goat. Because of him and his Pro Skater games I started skating all thru middle school and high school. Definitely gave me a life experience I wouldn't have gotten to see had I never picked up a board lol

Mr S u can still get paid and have morals. Tony is proof of that. Those broke skaters with morals are all doing drugs and partying so much they quit by the time they’re 35
My defination of selling out has always been making money off of things that you disagree with, birdman never made money by advertising something he didnt like, he isnt a sell out by any means, just a man who likes his bills paid and live a comfortable life

Nobody else would do that!

I mean this is the right attitude, not "Im gonna do this Ad for money" its "I'm gonna do this Ad to promote this sport I love"

To be honest now that it's the year 2019 I think bagelboy would be a pretty dope nickname
I mean dough boy was already a thing in 2007-08 lol
When I was a young boy I made fun of Tony for selling out--- as a grown ass man I understand 100% and respect this living legend.

This interview should have been like 45 minutes long! But I still got my fix of nostalgia for the morning
America.... Apple Pie, Chevrolet and Tony Hawk
Maxie Pattie Fuckin’ A. Haha
Pretty much
Rock, Flag and Eagle
A wise man said it's only selling out if it goes against your principles or beliefs. Anything else, take the cash
exactly. If it goes against what you believe in, or it’s just something you don’t like at all, that’s what I would call selling out. If you’re doing it because it’s something you actually like, that’s not selling out. that’s just doing what you love, while having the added benefit of earning some extra cash.
The curved rail was INSANE!
If I’m getting paid six figures you can call me Bagel Boy all the way to the bank.
Bagel boy 😂
"Or whatever.. but um,"
The fact that all these contained real skating and he had stories behind them that werent just "oh yeah they gave me a lot of money to show up here" is great
The superhero of skateboarding!! Who knows where we’d be without Tony pushing innovation.
i'd say rodney mullen is more or less the superhero of skating, but i agree. if it weren't for guys like hawk, skating would've been forgotten.
Everyone knows spiderman is the superhero of skateboarding.
you’re wrong, it’s Officer Dick, obviously.

Squint EastWOOD710 Dude, I got the same game for my birthday when I was eight years old. My dad gave it to me. I was instantly hooked on that shit.
No Tony Hawk commercial will ever top: "what's Tony Hawk doing on the freeway?"
"Front side nosegrind"
Was a gem and I wish I could find it online 🤣

I'm glad he did every single commercial. They are all gold.
People who say he is selling out are just jealous. If he started doing ads WITHOUT skateboarding THEN you can say he is selling out.
i remember stories of tony going to contests in the 80s and getting bottles thrown at him during his run, the hawk vs hosoi era was no joke
where can i watch/read more of this?
@thomas thompson thank you!
Dude is the fucking man.... loved this. Hearing him talk is like hearing a loved one talk, honestly
I remember the 3d doritos commercial like it was yesterday
All I know is if it wasn’t for Tony Hawk there wouldn’t be any skate parks in my area.
Tony's an OG through an through. Thank you for everything you've done for skateboarding.
petition to call him Bagel Boi, and bring back bagel bites
That part made me laugh so damn hard.
He said, "There was no cheesiness to the skating there," while discussing Bagel Bites. PRICELESS! Tony Hawk is a legend.
Wtf?!? you guys where the tip of the sword....Stacy just naild that team...priceless!
Tony's really the goat. Because of him and his Pro Skater games I started skating all thru middle school and high school. Definitely gave me a life experience I wouldn't have gotten to see had I never picked up a board lol
This is so good. JENKEM coming through as always
Dude, I remember watching that Doritos commercial and wanting to try cart boarding after haha.
Got in trouble with my parents 😂
Wait for that Lakai x Jenkem Birdman shoe
I seen his new Berrics part , he's style is only getting better. Tony's too cool. He's built alot of skate parks with that money.
Didn't bring Cheesiness to skateboarding, but definitely brought cheesiness to those bagel bites.
Anyone here who wants to call him a sellout I’ll say one thing: look at him
Now look at you
1:00 that actor played a character in Scrubs haha. Wondering why he didn't ask Eric Koston to do the handrail instead haha
Tony is NOT a sellout, he's the fucking KING. Good stuff man!
All I’m gonna say is , he is the reason I started skating. I’m sure millions of others can say the same. Shout out to the birdman 💯💯💯

Only people who never got the option blame others for selling out.
Tony Hawk is a legend.
he said naah on the bagel bites 😂😂😂
Yo I love this style of video and the content is great
"Cheesiness to the skating" ta-da-ta! like cheesy bagel bites. 😋
Tony was a former video editor for commercials
Tony Hawk is a finesser really getting that check for old ass jeep footage.
Imagine getting flack for begal bites! Lmaooo bagel bites are delicious
"people were calling me bagel boy" 3rd grade roasts always hit
Same ol' Tony Hawk I love and remember. Always glad to see you!
Also, very cool to have that ramp in downtown L.A. for a night. Must have been fun af.
TONY THE LEGEND 👽 I rather sell out and get paid than have your morals and be another broke skaters
Mr S u can still get paid and have morals. Tony is proof of that. Those broke skaters with morals are all doing drugs and partying so much they quit by the time they’re 35
Mr S true words
tony hawk is a legend no matter what the hell he's doing today but i fucking played his game all day everyday back in the 00's
there will never be a better ambassador for skateboarding!
Tony is a fuckin legend in every sense of the word
These ads are better than any ad today
I thought all these commercials were great! Tony's done nothing but good things for skateboarding!
Let's just accept that Birdman "selling out" was the best thing to skateboarding to ever happen.
"Excuse me, Mr. Hawk..... could you please sha-"
"No way."
the bagel bites commercial was how i discovered tony hawk lol
Jenkem always keeping it real as fuck. Dope content
I almost died about him hating the Captain Kangaroo show he did that is one of the reasons I started Skateboarding...
The best content. Love jenkem
The Berrics is douching around with polo sticks & Xfinity mobil-
You're cool in my book Birdman
polo sticks? Like the horse-based sport!?
Tony hawk is a legend and not a fucking sell out. without him skateboarding and skate culture would never be where it is today.
I want Doritos and bagel bites now, rock on tony!
Angry Bagel guy should be taking notes from this.
That rail in the house is crazy I thought it was cgi.
I was not expecting the jeep at all 😂
Thank tony for everything you have done and the nonstop inspiration!
Damn! This video was good!
Selling out entails abandoning the principals of your original culture for financial gain. This is just Tony helping the culture grow.

thank you, birdman, very cool
Dude, I still eat bagel bites cuz of those ads hahaha
Man I vaguely remember seeing that superbowl ad when I was a kid. I would have been 15 years old.
The end is my all time favorite skateboard video and always will be
I wish this video was 20 minutes longer. There has to be more anecdotes!
pro skaters: you cant stay pro/rich forever
Tony hawk: hold my bagel bites
and mountain dew... and 3d doritos...
that doritos advert is awesome, tony.
What sport has a better ambassador than skateboardings TONY HAWK
he was just tryna chase that bag cmon guys
I remember the bagel bites comercial, and the Doritos Superbowl comercial.
Every time I see Tony I always think in some weird way he reminds me of Timothy Treadwell lol something about his face.
My fav is the bagel bite one lol
that was awesome, thank you!
That boardslide was fuckin sickkkkk!
The first one was actually dope!
