- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2016
- Tony Hawk, Clint Walker, Shawn Hale, and Thalente Biyela showed up unannounced at the naming ceremony of the Andy "A-Dog" Williams Skatepark in Burlington, Vermont to skate with the locals and help celebrate the Tony Hawk Foundation's 500th skatepark. The 22,000-square-foot landmark is one of the largest in the Northeast, sits along the waterfront in downtown Burlington, and stands as a prime example of what determined skaters can achieve when they approach their community with a bold idea.

tony hawk keeping the dream alive for so many kids to this day, what a dude.
Tony’s awesome😎
Props to tony still being able to 540 at his age
that was a mctwist he went inverted
It looked like a 540 to me.
check the 900 video at 48! on ride channel!
full respect from T.P from Japan Nagano
Jacob Melanson a mc twists is basically a cork bs 540, he spins off axis, if you pause it he is inverted mid 540
2:20 now thats a grind. Not just tapping it and calling it a grind
yea do it and i m calling u a god
Timothy Estabillo that wasn't a grind
Tell me about it the 5-0's nowadays are like half a second.
Im so happy that I could be there and that this is my hometown park!!! Thanks tony
Lucky mann
Mine to born and raised in Burlington I haven't skated the new park yet but I used to skate the old one that was torn down
Mikey Delaportas yo it’s 30 mins away from me
And ur pfp is of talent nice
I gotta say, I LOVE what Tony has done with his foundation providing skateparks to these places. His contribution to skateboarding has been huge...seriously what great guy!
Burlington, VT is actually one of the only cities that actually did a community celebration with MOST of the town visiting. Even those who don't skateboard or ride skateparks visited it to see what's going on. It's amazing but rare to see
I grew up here, and even though I work well over full time as an adult with next to no time left to skate, it makes me happy to see this happen for the younger generation. When I heard it was named after andy (a.dog) who I saw perform time and time again when I was a teenager, that just put the cherry on top.
tony hawk goes up the ramp: whooaaa!
everyone else: (crickets)
There's a different level of expectation from the god of skateboarding compared to you and me.:P
The most beautiful thing about skating is you don't have to be Tony Hawk to be cheered by people. You have never dropped in and go to a park and make it after couple of failed attempts people will cheer for you!!
You just need to be real. I was consistently one of the least skilled and most nervous guys on our crew when I came back to it in my late 30s, but remember spending a couple hours trying to get layback rocks in a bowl with thirty odd people cheering on my every lame attempt 😂
I love the combo of a small bowl and big bowls, it gets the beginners to learn tricks before doing it on the big stuff!
like how tony wears a helmet and still shreds better tha most
whats a helmet got to do with how good someone can shred
Exactly.helmets just protect you from dying
Helmets protect you from killing yourself so...
Thank you Tony for helping my local park be built and helping my friends memory live on, we all miss you A dogg
Just rode this this morning, now back home in Maine today. Sick park. Really had a good time there and so did my daughter!
Amazing. I've got to drive up and visit this one this summer!
Wow haven't been this early for a Ride video ever
me eather.and I'm pretty late
what are you gonna eather for dinner tho?:')
That's very nice of you and everyone.
Dude!! how did I miss this!! I was wondering how Burlington had such an epic skate park
i love how tony hawk builds and even rebuilds alot of these parks... fame comes from the public liking what a professional does and liking that professional... he gives back...
damn that's pretty cool of tony
Awesome legacy and recreation for communities in these skateparks!
Amazing to see that it Takes The Tony Hawk Foundation to make this happen , here in Australia Local Councils build our Parks Qudos to Tony for Making this Happen Great Work!
I highly recommend if you are ever in Vermont to visit this skate park. It is awesome.
I like that the pros showed the groms how to skate the little bowl, showed them something to aim for rather than a 10 foot deep bowl demo. Well done guys good to see some mature inspiration.
Thank you Tony hawk foundation! You make the world a better place!
This park is like 2 hours way from were I live and its amazing. The lack of parks in Vermont sucks but this is the best one for sure
anywhere in VT is 2 hours away from btown the lack of everything in VT sucks lmao
I’m literally from Burlington I’m so lucky
mad RESPECT i see you @Thalente Biyela
that park was nice, great job on the build...
I like the shallow bowl, this park looks awesome ! :-) I often wondered how Tony Hawk was able to stay on top of his game for so many years, and part of the answer seems to be: look, he's always wearing a helmet and kneepads. Clever!
I love this park it feels so nice to ride
Anyone thinking of skating here, I 100% RECOMMEND IT. They have sooooo many good things to skate and they have 2 bowls. A small 4 foot and a large 20 foot. It’s just the best park you could imagine
If I had a local park like that I'd have skated so much more, don't even need to be able to do tricks, that transition every where would be so fun to just cruise and pump over
as he's getting older he looks more like Bill Gates. and he is like the Bill Gates of skateboarding. SALUTE
haha, he totally does look like Gates; maybe that's the look you achieve when you exude generosity.
bingisbetter
KonxOmPax I think he becomes Mark Hamilton
Bill Skates!
Their about the same age words no?
My heroes! Love you guys! ♥
LOve this park its like 2 hours away from me but its so sick!
Keep up the good work! Ty mr. Hawk
awesome stuff!
We need these kind of people!
Tony Hawk is still Killing it on a Skateboard! He gone ride until he cant!
It's cool too see him still do made shit like he's always done, he's awesome
so inspirational!
Tony Hawk...still lookin as smooth as he did 20 years ago...dope vid
I go back o this park every day
that park looks so fun
Hell yeah. This video made me smile.
Yay! My home state!
We have sk8 parks in SoCal. Chino,CA
Sun Valley,CA, Up off the 210 freeway in Tujunga,CA, I'm sure there are more.
Can u guys do Tuscany Calgary Canada please I wish there was a park here
I was at thos park in yesterday!

Can someone plz tell me where that storm gutter ledge spot is?
There are skateparks close to me, and since is a little sunny,when you skate you feel the breeze
Amazing!!!
Anyone know the song?
EDIT: It's Blue Eyes - Franky Flowers for anyone wondering.
I wish we had a big skate park because in Los banos CA it is so tiny
shawn looks great, I hope I can see him on this December,
Can't wait till hes 100 and still fuckin slayin it
what music is there in the begingin of this video
Legendary love of the game
Why would anyone thumbs down this video?
GOOD WORK! fella's
that 900 at the end of the video though 👌
I wish we had this in Belgium :/
We have parkspoornoord lol
nice
I wish he'd help build one down where I live. I'm stuck with 4 shitty sheet metal Quarterpipes that burn when you fall on them in the summer & a flat bar that's too high to learn tricks on. It'd be a dream come true to have a park like this one
song in the background in the beginning?
I just went to this park
whats the song they used??!!
Love that this video has no dislikes
What's the background song.
Please show us an overview so we can see what the whole skateboard park looks like! Thank you!
calling out Tony's hand placement below the coping @ 3:19 😅
Even legends imitate legends, and he had Cab on the mind 💪🏾🤙🏾`
Tony is a g why do people hate on him
cause they dont know whats good
So sick!
I have been to that skate park
But what's the maintenance like on these parks?
i saw this being built every time I went to the water front in Burlington since I live near by.
that was an amazing video. first watch and i know this shite is going in my favourites. This video depicted the best skateboarding. almost comparable to skate 3. they both feel the same when viewing
I want to go to this skate park it looks like a lot of fun.but
I don't know where it is.
I was there a few weeks ago and I landed my first 900 and flair
Wow i used to live there
Milo! He was the reason 'Why' Ethel wasn't my Second-grade Teacher! Now he's Burlington's Mayor. Lordy, I'm OLD...
that's my town!
Nathan Wemplee Yo same
ahhhhh!!!!! so awesome! Tony Hawk is the MAN!!!!!
Good to see him still shredding. Makes me want to dust off my board
Sick!
california needs more skateparks
I was in the video!
tone loaks the man! did I just see Ron Chapman delivering mail👽
Nice Park
Really wish the Tony Hawk Foundation could help us out in Fernandina!
Wish he would join Vans pool party, legends division. Would be so cool to se him compete again.

I actually live in Vermont!
But I have not skated at this park yet😭
