Damn no one care about Tony da Hawk?

This def isn't comparable, impressive absolutely, but what Hawk did was groundbreaking at the time. You get massive air on the big ramp.
---

I'm not sure whether it was his first time landing it. Only thing I remember was him going back-and-forth on the half pipe during the ending of some X-Games.

Kinda took the wind out of his sails by comparing it to the original 900 on a halfpipe, but it's still really cool.

why didnt tony hawk just build an even bigger ramp and do more rotations
---

I care more about Tony's weird existential crisis
---

I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought it was from a GBA THPS game
---

Yeah. I get that it's a big diff when comparing mega ramp to half pipe. But still super impressive seeing it's only been done just so recently
---

Anytime I see that bigass ramp all I can think off is Jake Brown eating massive shit on it.

Remember when The Squid totally beefed it?

I was at work. I worked at a Circuit City so we had a lot of TV's turned to different channels. Suddenly, they all stopped whatever show they were airing at the same time, and there was a special news report. Dan Rather comes on the TV, he's visibly shaken, a look of terror on his face. His voice chokes with emotion; he's been doing this for decades but suddenly it's like he's an amateur again. Finally, he looks right into the eye of the camera and says:

"Today at approximately 8:15 AM, Squid totally beefed it."

You could hear a pin drop in the store. Then, when the weight of the announcement had hit us, a girl dropped a novelty mug she hadn't paid for yet on the ground, and it shattered. No one cared.

The customers all left in a hurry to be with their loved ones. Us employees began calling our families, making sure they were okay. One girl just started to cry. Me, I just stood there, in disbelief. This sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen. Not to Squid. Squid isn't supposed to beef it. And yet...and yet...he had. He had beefed it.

And I knew, at that moment, that things would never be the same.

A few minutes later the President appeared on television. He made the announcement we all knew was coming: We were at war.

Never forget the day Squid totally beefed it.

Same. That was awful to watch.

I miss those times when skateboarding was so popular. I never could actually skate (too fat and unathletic), but I loved it.
