Tony Hawk Perched
It’s got big airs, lip tricks, flip tricks, and circus tricks. Tony’s new video part titled “Perched” has some amazing footage as well as an interesting remix of the Dead Kennedys song Police Truck.
I can honestly say that I haven’t worked on a skate video this hard since The End. I never want to do some of these tricks again, but I am proud to have completed them and hope that you enjoy the outcome. And thanks to Z-Trip for resurrecting two classic songs from THPS… I love my job. -Tony Hawk
I especially like some of the traveling foot plants, not really traveling in the conventional sense of a vert trick, more like sliding. Just watch the video, you won’t regret it. Old man Hawk still has it.
Yeah, those sliding footplants are rad. What gets me is when he says he hopes he never has to do some of these tricks again – what sort of bullshit is that? Surely tricks are something to learn, be stoked you can do them, and be stoked every time you put them in a run. Who wants to skate just to achieve something, then forget about it? That’s no fun.
I think he is referrering to a punctured lung from a hang up at Mach 2
When he was younger his attitude was different towards perfecting tricks but at 46 you don’t recover from falls so easily so I can see why he wouldn’t want to try some of those tricks again.
That last front foot impossible method was fucking insane. Some one get him an agent
He’s got red and black diagonal stripes like Duane’s graffic, that’s funny.
That’s Steve steadhams graffix not dp’s. Hawk is the man this stuff seriously has no competition
