This man has earned some serious money and has put a lot of what he's earned from skateboarding back into American communities for skate parks for children to keep them off the streets and in a safe environment. Truly a legend of his sport.

I gotta say I have watched hundreds of Tony Hawk interviews, and have lived in the era he has dominated, but I gotta say Oxford really did a great job of asking intelligent, competent, inspirational and inventive questions. Way better than the normal questions.. They helped to delve a little more into Tony's thinking.

Interesting, I love that Oxford will have anyone speak, it's such a smart idea. More people need to see these videos, much love to whoever is running this UKposts channel and the lecture series as a whole. I appreciate the true apolitical centrist style, the world needs more of this.

Freestyle skating may be a way to get more chicks into it. Skateboarding doesn't need to be harsh and bloody. Personally my favorite skater has always been mullen and I only skate for fun so I'd rather do Casper flips and old school shoves than fall down stairs.

I don't exactly know the policies of Oxford University but isn't it a bit ironic getting someone associated with people trespassing schools to land skate Tricks? Wonder if they allowed him to skate down the halls like he did the white house. I get the impression that the point of these talks is to just here someone speak and talk about their life even if you have no interest in what they actualy do. I am a huge Tony Hawk and skate fan. Even have a signed photo from him. I remember my parents got me a PS1 for my birthday with a copy of Tony Hawks Pro skater 2. Back then I was only just getting into watching skating. At the time kids who didn't know about skating could pick up and play as the premise was to get high scores so knowing the tricks was not that important.

Tony sits with his legs and arms crossed and looks very uncomfortable.

And the interviewer is doing that really comfortable ankle on the knee thing. A lot of guys do this in talk show interviews. Very maaanly.
@Greeeedo 5 років тому
The guy asking the questions has as much personality as one of the sculpted busts when Tony comes through the door. I don't want a stand up comedian doing the questions or the interviewer taking over but by christ please someone with a personality. The Nick Offerman one was terrible as Nick was very dry and making quips and jokes all the way through and it was flying over the interviewers head.
