Yes! Thanks (?) for digging up this forgotten gem. It would take too long to explain how it came to be made but I’m honored you spent time on it. Being “featured” on your channel is the height of cool as far as my daughter is concerned so I appreciate the dubious claim.

I can’t stop laughing at the fact that the reverb from “BALLS” lasted so long after the joke was over

As a literal former circus employee, it was quite clearly to me: "People like their human cannonballs with skin."

If i can recall correctly, the reason why he was always decked out in gear was that he knew kids looked up to him, so he wanted to be a good role model and promote safety.

I watched this movie so much as a kid, “people like their human cannon balls with skin” was such a quotable line because he was trying to get everyone together and it was a full on ringmaster moment!

it’s incredible how tony hawk is so famous but if i saw him in public i’d have no idea who he was

Fun fact: i used to think thay tony hawk and stephen hawking were the same person, and it made sense to me because i thought that tony hawk got in a major accident when skateboarding and got all fucked up so he became an astrophysicist and went by stephen hawking afterwards

Tony Hawk stuck in a glue trap is legit one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

"People like their human cannonballs with skin," which is a genuinely unhinged line to write, record, and edit into a film.

I love how everybody just agrees that Tony Hawk is less of a celebrity and more of a chill guy that everybody knows

My dad directed and rewrote this movie, He considers it the worst movie he’s ever worked on. He wrote the antagonists lines and rewrote switch Mitch (hence the switch in character), caca and weewiz, and basically everything good about this movie. I’m so glad to see his work/humour getting the credit it deserves, even if some other dude gets credit for such an ironically terrible script

I got bullied into not learning to skate or even ride a bike bc of how "lame" it is to wear safety gear. Huge maturity of Tony to always be seen wearing his safety gear

I was never unto skateboarding, mostly because I knew that I would break every bones I've ever owned if I attempted it, but I always loved that Tony wore all his safety gear all the time. He is a role model, so encouraging safe practices is really important, and he obviously doesn't care if people think it's lame because he knows it isn't

Real talk I haven't finished the whole vid yet, I'm at the part where Kurtis mentions Tony always wearing safety gear and I've always 100% loved Hawk for that, the amount of times I've seen people get seriously injured because they did a stupid skateboarding stunt with no helmet and smashed their skull or broken arms and legs, yet here is this guy who's like the top name in skateboarding and is always wearing and promoting the use of safety gear at the pro level, I appreciate and hope that some kids have at least learned to wear it because of him

I'm sorry but animated Tony lying face down is the funniest thing I've seen all week-

"smells like pee pee and poo poo in here" genuinely made me laugh out loud that's the funniest thing

There's always something about these low budget animations from the mid 2000s that i find weirdly charming and feel like a time capsule to simpler times.
