South Beach Sessions - Tony Hawk
5/21/20261 hr 10 min
A legend, point blank period. Tony Hawk brought skateboarding to the mainstream, defined the sport, and made it accessible to thousands of kids through his charity work. And, not to mention, he stars in one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). Tony takes Dan through his upbringing, from being a hyperactive kid who just needed to get his energy out, to becoming one of the best skateboarders alive when he was only a teenager. He also explains what it was like when skating fell out of vogue in the 90s and he fell on tough times… and then boomed back into popularity a few years later. Dan also gets a rundown of all Tony’s injuries over his entire career - including the worst one, a broken pelvis. They also talk about aging and finding joy in a body that doesn’t work quite the way it used to.
