Love it!

[ETA] Also, not the first time he sang some punk/post-punk music…

Ace! I am well inside the target demographic for this one

Cool tune. Cool band. Cool frontman (the guy Elon Musk wishes he was).

I just got to the end of that video; and the way Tony does a one take karaoke straight in to some tricks is soooo cool.

[Mindysan33]

Do you think he even knows who Tony Hawk is?

[bsr]

Nice! Even a cameo from Trent!

I’ve shared this before but it bears repeating: in the late '80’s a young woman I went to school with wrote Tony Hawk a fan letter. He sent back a really nice personal reply telling her how grateful he was to hear from a fan. He was glad she was a skater, adding that it’s a sport that’s for everyone, and wished her luck in competing.

I understand he’s got a lot of commitments and gets far too much correspondence to respond personally to each message these days but his core philosophy hasn’t changed.

He’s just a swell guy, isn’t he?

Tony is such a hero, and a credit to the human race.
