Tony Hawk's Final Video Part - Tapes You Leave Behind

Tony Hawk gives us his last video part “Tapes You Leave Behind.”
In Tony's words:
The project was inspired by Stacy Peralta’s first video entitled “Skateboarding In The Eighties” in 1981 (before Bones Brigade Video Show). It featured Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, and me, using this same [timeless] Ultravox song, from which the lyrics inspired the title. I asked the same crew, adding Lance Mountain and Tommy Guerrero, to revisit some of their tricks in that video and BBVS since we’re all still actively skating 40+ years later. It has been my distinct honor to be associated with these legends through the decades, and it felt right to include them in my videographic swan song.
I’ll still be here skating as much as possible, but no longer torturing myself mentally & physically for the sake of comprehensive video missions.

Slammed Stomped 2008: X GAMES THROWBACK | World of X Games

X Games 14 went down July 31 to August 3 in 2008. Throughout the greater Los Angeles area, from Staples Center to Home Depot Center, X Games brought the world’s best action sports athletes to the forefront of ESPN. New tricks were landed, new gold medals were handed out, and along the way, the week was riddled with stomps and slams of all types.

Here, we take a look back at the 2008 Slammed, Stomped show, featuring Jamie Bestwick’s gold medal winning BMX Vert run, plus an array of slams from Skateboard and BMX Vert, Ryan Sheckler’s gold medal winning highlights from Skateboard Street, Skateboard Park Legends with Mike McGill and Tony Magnusson, SuperPark slam sessions, the return of Danny Way to Skateboard Big Air, Kyle Loza and the electric doom at Moto X Best Trick, plus Travis Pastrana’s gold medal win at RallyCross at Home Depot Center.

Even though this feels like a lifetime ago, it’s noteworthy that many of the athletes featured within this show are still ripping, progressing and spreading the shred like no time has passed.

2018 Vans Pool Party: Legends Highlights | Vans Pool Party | VANS

The raucous crowds that filled the legendary Combi Pool arena for the 14th annual Vans Pool Party were treated to another sizzling skateboarding performance by the winningest skater in Pool Party history, Chris Miller. Miller left the coping ablaze with a score of 93.00, leaving no debate on who deserved the 2018 Legends crown. Chris delivered a flawless run laced with his patented fluid style that has been his calling card ever since stepping on a skateboard in 1978 to earn his 10th title. Eric Nash and Steve Caballero rounded out top honors with Nash scoring 91.33 and Cab 90.67.
