that’s amazing, i’ve got the feeling that this whole rolling depression will be over soon, TV appearences and ‘celebrity’ consiousness is beginging to make the difference
what the fuck is going on? i’ll bust this dude down if I ever see him rocking rollerblades, anyone whos welcoming this, is welcoming the demise of the soul of our sport…. it’d be like voting for bush again
Do none of you guys skate with skateboarders? I used to skate with three rollerbladers and one skateboarder. Who gives a monkeys? Ive always been a rollerblader though because in my opinion its always seemed the best to me? I used to like messin about on my mates BMX in bowls too!! OMG!!!
i saw the same pic on some other blading forum and it said that tony hawk had quit boarding for good and will no longer have anything to do with it…. thats obviously not true as hes bringing out a new game soon, if it is photoshopped its been really well done but its a bit of a lame joke. if it is real though its cool that Hawk is respecting the sport the way it should be
Look in case you didn’t know, he’s the reason we got kicked out of x-games in the first place. Arlo got some of the story when he heard their new pitch for ads for the summer x-games but what they didn’t show him was that Danny Way and Hawk started bitching about having to share the spot light with bladers. Remember they hate us even though we are the foolish ones who bought their shit and helped them become so big. this just proves that the war is ongoing between the two of us. Hawk meant to destroy us and he thought of a clever way to do it. Poison the children’s minds with showing us as homosexuals and losers in his video games. How many missions throughout his games required you to destroy the blader?
another reason why this is photoshop…
the pic is taken with a flash…
the light on his hand is more intense then on his head
eventhough it would have almost the same strength of light…
in barley dead theirs a very small aprt were it shows tony hawk saying he respects rollerblading.
Could be bullshit though,i dont care really in the end though its not him,big companies like mcdonalds or anyone thats goign to “save” our sport,what needs saving? weve got a great industry at the moment with amazing companies and i dont want shitty companies to come in to make money of us really,the only thing id change would be that bladers make a more dewcent living,though the Wrs seems to eb chaging that in a way.
how does one picture make so many people whine? no wonder people think rollerblading is gay. if our sport is better than quit whining and act like it. just a picture
hahahaha loving the controversy, once again audience reading is simply an amazing pastime. What a joke to post this and laugh all day long reading stuff from people confused, offended, and some even pleased about the “refreshing” side of being tolerated by the very head of the opposition.
Might be an old photoshop, but the comments are recent and contemporary, so the ever so universal Barely dead-rollerblading martyr syndrome is still kicking and very much alive!!
Definite photoshop. The dark black halo round his head shows it. Good effort though. I reckon Tony Hawk would ride M12′s if he did rollerblade. He’s oldskool like that.
@philroller24/7. whats all the hate? maybe its the stupid comments that all this little 13 year old kids make, and the fact that this website is supposed to represent rollerblading and the current happenings that go on, yet it is run by a guy that seems to be no more than 8 years old.
tony hawk was a pivitol figure in getting blading removed from the x-games, along with other skaterboarders of the old guard. they are the ones that actually hate blading, not the new kids at the skateparks. they just go along with whatever trasher tells them.
get over it! dave could you moderate the comments on here and accept whats appropriate… ,have some mods on here..thats the only way to stop SPAMMING… and yes id say its mpstly kids 15under …
THIS IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. Holy shit… I saw it on like three other websites before, he’s not quitting skateboarding obviously, he’s prolly the most respected in the sport. He’s holding a pair of rollerblades with his middle finger up, how else could you take that, other than negative?
mmm and the other looks like Jess D. buuut hey what ever… rolling is a great spport to get those legs and the rest moving… depending on what type of rolling it is…
So apparently it is photoshopped?? not sure. who cares does anyone actually believe that this is somehow gonna change shit around make people think twice about rollerblading?? you can have dave mirra tony hawk and bam margera in a picture taking a dump into a pair of icon 2s and put it in times square and do you think that would make things worse for our sport than it already is?!
would be nice to have more info though
i really cant believe you guys didnt notice that..what theres like 60 comments?? look at his neck man..its pretty obvious that his face was just printed over a rollerbladers .plus tony hawks old as shit i bet he barely skateboards anymore so why the hell would he start rollerblading out of no where
Just remember how skateboards started. People cut a rollerskate in half and bolted it to a piece of wood. If it wasn’t for the origins of our sport Tony Hawk wouldn’t have anything to ride.
ohh waoo its like voting 4 bushh aqain this aint tony bummass ! nd plus if tony on blades trow a stick at him maybe hell do a kick flip on it lmaooooooo.!

October 15th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
what the fuck is going on? i’ll bust this dude down if I ever see him rocking rollerblades, anyone whos welcoming this, is welcoming the demise of the soul of our sport…. it’d be like voting for bush again
October 15th, 2009 at 12:56 pm

October 15th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Negrita that is definitely Tony Hawk, not Taig Khris fucking idiot.
October 15th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Photoshop. Mr. Hawk doesn’t have a shittily done star tattoo on his left wrist.
October 15th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
OK, if You see it correctly …look at his finger, if he is the “Tony H.”
probably he is thinking the same!
I think this is not a good pic !
October 15th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

October 15th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
wisdom comes with age i guess … on the other hand,he made millions with skateboarding, so hes got reason to be liberal
October 15th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
As if….right.
Obviously photoshop, nice retroperspective putting a pair of M12′s in his hands.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
