I'm almost 30 years old now… and I remember a long ass time ago when I was in high school my buddies and I went to the Carlsbad skate park (which sucks btw), and we see Tony and Riley Hawk. Riley was so small his knee pads almost covered his whole leg. There's one rail there that starts at the top of a bowl and goes all the way down (biggest rail there), and tony sets the board 50-50 style on the rail while Riley climbs up him and stands on the board. Then Tony gives Riley a little nudge and he 50-50's all the way down and he lands it. The rail had to have been taller than Riley at the time, and probably 10-12' long… I racked myself on the rail a few week earlier doing a front board on it so I was a little scared to even get on it. but it was pretty damn cool to see little Riley cruise down the rail. I remember thinking, "When I'm a dad I want to be like that…"
I'd not seen much Riley footage before seeing this part and kind of wondered how much his dads legacy had to do with all his coverage and hype. This completely blew away any doubts I had. He absolutely shreds. Amazing!
There is no doubt that he is up there with the best right now, he kills gaps, rails, stairs, transitions, and from what I saw in that part a good amount of tech. Holy fuck did he ever slay that triangle feature though. Insane.
OMFG!!! Words can't express how much this video has inspired me. Aside from being part of the most royal bloodline in skateboarding...Riley!!!!! Bro!!!!! holy fucking shit dude you're killing it and then some and then some etc etc.....WOW!!! Your style is so street that the purity makes me feel dizzy!! Real talk this is undoubtedly the best skate part of 2015!!! Beyond eternal respect from the skate gang!!! I think we may have possibly the next icon of a generation on our hands here!! FFS 90% of this video made my ass cheeks clinch and my manhood shrink out of pure fear of imagining myself trying these same tricks! I'm humbled by this part, I'm inspired by this part, I'm down right reborn watching this because my definition of SICK just changed! Bravo man on setting a new standard! Holy shit I'm gonna watch this a few more times. Much love and respect!
As a beginner skateboarder, I learned to drop in a few days ago. It was on a mini half pipe but I felt accomplished lol. Watching Riley and Tony makes me think, they were once in my shoes before, being completely new, but basically you build your arsenal of tricks after the basics and that’s exactly what they did. Riley, Tony you both are my heroes and never stop skating!
Watching Riley reminds me of when I used to watch Natas in the 80's. The style is similar, very free flowing and fearless. Just can watch these guys skate all day and then you realize how dry your mouth is because it was dropped the whole time watching them skate all day haha.
An incredibly talented skater, has come along way from the Riley I played a game of skate with in 2000 under the highway in Philadelphia during the X games.
Old guy comment- Its really weird being stoked out by Riley when I can vividly remember being stoked out by Tony before Riley was even born. Minor mind blown effect- Riley rips though.
big feet, tall, gangly and slightly awkward, yeah he's a Hawk. His Ollies and shove its are perfect replicas of Tony's. Cut his hair and he'd be a twin.
This dude shreds,unbelievable.I'm 46 and skated w/ Tony a few times when he was 16-17,I think Riley is better at this age.But Tony was vert and street wasnt the same back in 86.
It's astonishing that a clip like 2:44 can flash by these days without a second glance. Dude 5050'd a 4-flat-3-flat-15 (or even 16?) like it was nothing. Incredible.
I hate how they always put Tony in right before his video parts. Nothing against Tony at all, but even if he wasn't Riley's dad, Riley would definitely still be pro. I think the fact that Tony is his dad even holds him back because people might think "oh it's just cuz his Dad is Tony Hawk." Like no he rips harder than most pros today
LlamaWarfare Yeah but Tony is his dad so if he says it you don't necessarily believe it. Every dad thinks they're kid is great is my point, but Riley actually is great
gh. urr Again, just because your dad says it doesn't mean it's true. My dad thinks I'm good at basketball and I have literally no talent. I feel like an outsider looking in needs to say it to really give a proper "review" because just about every dad thinks their kid is the greatest
Never knew about Riley Hawk until now. It's strange to think of this guy as a rich kid skater, who's dad is a legend. He's also skating a bunch of Danny Montoya spots around Garden Grove that were used for videos 20 years ago. That's also strange to think about and pretty cool.
ramayomama he said hes created his own style (which he has) and that he is recognized as one of the best in the world (because he is). The kid is like 22 years old with 10 video parts.
Yeah when I watched his first couple vids I thought he was only getting attention bcuz of his dad, but now he is so fun to watch. he has his own style and can hit big flip trick down huge stairs as well as sick rail tricks. just pure street skating!! does anyone know what song that is?
Man, I really wanted to see that fs bunt at 4:07 from the second angle... it looked like they were about to show it then it cut to the fs hurricane and then showed that second angle, then his last trick was just a 50 down a curved rail? I think that fs blunt was the most impressive tbh and should have been last, that gap was pretty decent and that trick takes 100% commitment, not to mention the ledge was on a 45 degree incline. Really hope theres a video from that second angle floating around somewhere.
I use to think Riley Hawk was surfing on nepotism. I'm not gonna lie. This was when he was younger. I obviously take all that back. He has great style. That's the name of the game these days. He fits Baker perfectly. The new non- alcoholic filled Baker team
i knew when i was a kid that i would never be good enough for pro... and that was before this kid was even born. skating just keeps blowing my mind as it progresses and that's one of the two things i love about it, the other being just skating.
imagine how lucky you would be if you were a skater and you were riley hawk's best friend, you would literally have access to a backyard skatepark almost whenever you wanted

***** Amen brother amen!
Seriously it was a huge rail and it went inside of a bowl?!
+Ignacio Rodríguez yeah California is where skating started👍🏻👍🏻
It goes to the flat of a "bowl" which is actually more of a series of banks. But the rail is steep as fuck and sketchy.
Haha yup! Is it still there?
This kid just cranks out vids man, insane.
kid's a beast
This is Tony Hawkers - he was the first person to skate the skateboard
Riley definitely stepped his game up from Bake and Destroy and Shep Dawgs 4. I guess every part from now on is just gonna get better and better
this is Tony Hawkers
It's called ellington greco and Reynolds took him under their wings and modled and perfected him
I'd not seen much Riley footage before seeing this part and kind of wondered how much his dads legacy had to do with all his coverage and hype. This completely blew away any doubts I had. He absolutely shreds. Amazing!
Same.
There is no doubt that he is up there with the best right now, he kills gaps, rails, stairs, transitions, and from what I saw in that part a good amount of tech. Holy fuck did he ever slay that triangle feature though. Insane.
miles vanderleek dat ass tho
Nice ass pic...
oh shit haha, whats up elijah
Take away his name and just look at him as a skater. He. Kills. It.
When can we expect Riley hawk's underground or Riley Hawk's Pro skater series?
WayTwo I think:Never
Never. Don't want it. Rather have EA Skate 4
It was kind of a joke
But yea Skate is awesome
fuck yeah my face will be on the cover
that kickflip late shove was insane
He did it both ways.
At 2:48 for anyone who wants to find it
I was going to post a comment answering the name of that trick. Damm guy got skills.
he kills everything. blown away. well done riley hawk, the sickest part i've seen in a long time.
the 50-50 in the end deserves a replay with a second angle view
OMFG!!! Words can't express how much this video has inspired me. Aside from being part of the most royal bloodline in skateboarding...Riley!!!!! Bro!!!!! holy fucking shit dude you're killing it and then some and then some etc etc.....WOW!!! Your style is so street that the purity makes me feel dizzy!!

2:31 Holy shit man. I literally live across that parking lot. The fact that they managed to find that place just blows me away..
That kickflip late front shuv was madness. Also the gap to noseblunt at the end. Fucking sick!
RAW Pure Talent. Got love Riley Hawk´s skateboarding.
I've never really seen Riley skate until now and omg he skate like a man. I am now a fan of him.
Watching Riley reminds me of when I used to watch Natas in the 80's. The style is similar, very free flowing and fearless. Just can watch these guys skate all day and then you realize how dry your mouth is because it was dropped the whole time watching them skate all day haha.
That was insane! Riley has some incredible balance and precision.
i don't even think Riley Knows how stoked this made a lot of people
There are some straight hammers here
This is tony hakwers at the best. LONG LIVE THE HAWKERS
An incredibly talented skater, has come along way from the Riley I played a game of skate with in 2000 under the highway in Philadelphia during the X games.
Old guy comment- Its really weird being stoked out by Riley when I can vividly remember being stoked out by Tony before Riley was even born. Minor mind blown effect- Riley rips though.
Its amazing to see Riley all grown up
big feet, tall, gangly and slightly awkward, yeah he's a Hawk. His Ollies and shove its are perfect replicas of Tony's. Cut his hair and he'd be a twin.
+Zachary Yeager he even rubs his nose the same way after he does some tricks...lol
This is the first 60fps skate video I've seen and I am both amazed and confused.
Damn same. Looks like you're actually there.
60FPS skate videos are the best thing that has happened in the world like shiiit
+Fanchus i can't even tel the difference
Kano Weeden Try watching it in 720p60
This was Tony Hakker - he can do BIG twist jumps ,. google the 90000 jumper tricker by Tony Hawkkk
that last few efforts to lock onto the 5050 thats amazing riley's sickkk
Holy Mother. Big Riley fan, haven't seen this part until now for some reason. But fuck yes. Killed it again. This got me stoked!
Mad respect to Riley Hawk! Ripper!
I can’t stop watching this dude skate he’s sender
This part was so heavy. Riley hawk slays!
That flip crooked Was so sick🔥
RIley has sick skills.
I never thought I would see you in the comment section under a skateboard video. Great videos by the way I'm subbed.
so fluid and clean
This was pretty awesome
This is a rip off of Tony Hawkers - He created skateboarding, from surgfing on snowboards one day
stays killing it
LOVE IT WEN TONI DOES THE 920 spinner
I dont know why I expected Tony's son to be pretty with a robotic style but I was so wrong. I'm impressed, pure style!
I def agree he's one of the best out there.
I love the classic 50-50 at the end
killed it, such a good part
Jerry Cantrell on a skateboard
Straight BANGERS!
This dude shreds,unbelievable.I'm 46 and skated w/ Tony a few times when he was 16-17,I think Riley is better at this age.But Tony was vert and street wasnt the same back in 86.

Riley rips great to see street skateboarding alive and kicking
Great part. Some really sick gaps and rails. Good song too. Great intro from tony too.
j0n0j0n0j great comment too
Jorge Guzman great reply
Great smart arsery
Great comments and conversation.
smithsfan425 GREAT SARCASM

Insane skateboarding skills!
Awesome video part, Riley has super dope skateboarding style, keep it real :)
I'm proud of you riley
Hell yah! Kickflip late shuv fricken blew me away!
I remember watching him in clips when he was like 8 this is sweet he turned out to be pretty damn good
Damn that song fits so good with the video
I repeated that kickflip late shuv like 20 consecutive times!!! Riley rips hard yo
At 2:48 for those who want to see it without rewatching
Tony Hawkers taught this kid everything The Tony Hawkers knows
Remind me the old vhs misled Youth jamie's part, epic, solid.
yo. way to freakin go. amazing part!
Massive respect... watching his his dad rule it in animal chin.. The apples doin what it wants... spec...
Besides him grinding on a memorial for the seven astronauts who died in the Challenger disaster this was a good video.
Awesome!!! He's a sick skater
That was a REALLY HEAVY PART
Tony you should be really proud of your son. He's one amazing skater.
Of course he is, Riley's carrying on his legacy while at the same time making his own
This IS tony hawjkers when he was younger, he was the first skateboarder.
The Outlier parts are just sick in general but this one and Brad's part so far are fucking sick
Riley is a madman
That ended though! I think he was on that rail longer than I've been alive
Yeah Tony! way to be modest and objective! "Best style out there, one of the best skaters in the world" classic Tony Hawk so full of himself
ramayomama he said hes created his own style (which he has) and that he is recognized as one of the best in the world (because he is). The kid is like 22 years old with 10 video parts.
awesome street vid. Tony can be proud.
fuckkinn gap to noseblunt on that triangle was insane!!!!!!!!!
Bien.
I love how they just toss random 30ft rail footage in throughout his part... Holy fuck!
That first bluntslide was flippin naughty
Yeah when I watched his first couple vids I thought he was only getting attention bcuz of his dad, but now he is so fun to watch. he has his own style and can hit big flip trick down huge stairs as well as sick rail tricks. just pure street skating!! does anyone know what song that is?
BEAST!
im mind blown right now like holy shit that ender was tight
It would be nice to see father and son having part together:)
insane balance on dem rails
People say he sucks Lol That's straight up ridiculous. He kills it in every video..Beast.
Man, I really wanted to see that fs bunt at 4:07 from the second angle... it looked like they were about to show it then it cut to the fs hurricane and then showed that second angle, then his last trick was just a 50 down a curved rail?

I use to think Riley Hawk was surfing on nepotism. I'm not gonna lie. This was when he was younger. I obviously take all that back. He has great style. That's the name of the game these days. He fits Baker perfectly. The new non- alcoholic filled Baker team
front blunt to nose grind is sick
sctim123 agreeed!!!!!!! shit man I can't wait to get my game up to that level!
He skates freely as not got giving a shit! And thats awesome! Fucking crack
Damn he fast. Killin it
i knew when i was a kid that i would never be good enough for pro... and that was before this kid was even born. skating just keeps blowing my mind as it progresses and that's one of the two things i love about it, the other being just skating.
I think the best trick by far was that gap to noseblunt, that was insane!!
Sickest looking 50-50's in the game
He's good! Good stuff!
Yes.
Sick Ollie Late Flip!
that 50 50 at the end only in your dad's games his a beast
imagine how lucky you would be if you were a skater and you were riley hawk's best friend, you would literally have access to a backyard skatepark almost whenever you wanted
he skates like he is in a Tony Hawk video game lol. Seriously dude does like 20 ft rails and all the late flips and huge gaps. Kid is an animal!
Tony Hawk and Riley Hawk are both amazing skaters. My top three favorite pro skateboarders are 1: Riley Hawk 2: Rob Dyrdek 3: Nyjah Huston.
u gotta be fucking kidding me
Hell yeah Foo I'm guessing you hate those skaters. Am I right?
it's pretty awesome that riley grew up known as the son of a VERT skater then for him to become a STREET skater
What's the music playing?
He's so fucking good!!!
rad part, rad dude
That triangle miami trick insane
That last trick was crazy. Easily sketchy slip out
Last trick at Fresno City Hall !
it's like the board is magnetized to his feet
