Tony Hawk at Burnside

I did not see Tony Hawk’s unannounced stop at Burnside yesterday, but I did make these nifty shelves in my garage instead. It would take me half a day to get this into the form of a cartoon like MC does, so this is what you get instead.

Frame 1: Caption – “1986” 1st guy speech bubble – “Tony Hawk is at our local skatepark right now!”

Frame 2: 2nd Guy speech bubble – “Oh man, I’m going to blow off finals for this, lets go!”

Frame 3: Caption – “2012” – 1st guy (looks older) speech bubble – “Tony Hawk is at our local skatepark right now!”

Frame 4: 2nd guy (looks older) speech bubble – “I think I’m going to build shelves in my garage.”

I’m not dissing Tony, I’m sure he was rad. I saw that he even graciously posed for some photos with grooms.

Interesting side note: The story behind why Portland wasn’t an official stop on his tour is a disappointing one.

    People were getting married at Burnside? Those shelves look nice and purposeful.

    Have you met Tony before?
    I think you can be damn proud of those shelves.
    I’m expecting MC’s cartoon to appear pretty soon!

    i rode with Hawk at Newberg about 10 years ago. I thought he was going to be a dick. Everyone stopped skating to watch him. I just kept skating with him. He was the raddest dude. He should give some money to Burnside though.
