>h..hey dudes*cough* Tony hawk here... please buy THPS3+4..*COUGH* i dont have long left..

Dude the joint is only 43.5% THC relax

>>716496936
Bam go earthrock somewhere else

tony hawk was already old for a skater when the originals came out

>I've been mogged by a little jap girl
>Why am I Tony Hawk?

>>716496787 (OP)

That's sick bro

>>716496994
Not really

>>716496787 (OP)
Did he get radiation poisoning or some shit?

>>716497158
Hes 57. That's just bad lighting.

>>716497158
Worse: He sk*teboarded.

I really thought skate 4 was going to be shit. Yes, the graphics are very cartoonish compared to skate 2, the writing/dialogue sounds like they told an ai to be as cringe and reddit as possible, glitches, and there are only a handful of good songs (mainly the get up kids(!), turnstile, mf doom)
But it's fun. it feels like a skateboard mmo seeing all of the other players skating around a huge skatepark city. There are a lot of good features, and I like how parts of the map and challenges can change. Tony Hawk 3+4 was a fucking rip off and Skate 4 is free so it already mogs that shit.

>>716496994
He was 33 when THPS3 dropped, he was ancient as far as the skate scene was concerned

>>716496936
wasnt the bird man straightedge the whole time?

I loved TH games but back in the day I only played 1, 2 and theb the THUG ones later one. I really enjoyed the first remake (1+2), so I was more than interested in 3+4, but Ive heard its shit and Im trying to wait for a sale, the temptation ks strong though....

>>716497381
I read a biography about him and while he always had a straight laced image, no, he smoked and drank and fucked

i met tony hawk at LAX
i asked him if he was tony hawk and he said he wasnt sure

>>716497314
>it's free!
That's usually a red flag for predatory monetization, especially when EA is behind it.

>Tony Hawk was younger than I am now when the original THPS came out

>>716497468

Kojima moment

>>716496787 (OP)
It's kind of crazy that Bam now looks and skates better than Hawk now. Feels like just yesterday people were thinking he was going to die at any point.

>>716497554
funny thing: i was in a fan meetup with kojima a couple of weeks ago
the organizers said no autographs but i took a picture beside him and yoji shinkawa

>>716497575
>Skates better than Hawk
I've never seen oldbam do anything beyond farting around in a skatepark and maybe doing 1 liptrick

>>716497575
Bam sucks and barely goes out. Also, we all hate him
>t. Life long PA skater

>>716497314
Oh yeah and a lot of things about skate 4 are really gay and trannyish, like le heccin wholesome graphics like hearts and shit (here's a heart and a rainbow - it feels shallow and forced like "please don't kill yourself and purchase the microtransactions.") they added to the game in case some tranny is playing so they don't want to kill themselves constantly. and you can make your character into a hideous tranny. the customization is shit so far and no genders, you can be a guy with tits and mascara, and there are only a few options to choose from and no sliders. I guess at least that's more customization options, but it just comes across as troonish. but I can ignore that because it seems like people aren't making their character look gay, and if they do, they make their character a black, overweight, bearded troon as a joke, which is funny. anyway I'm impressed with it just because it feels like a huge alive world with tons of players and the actual gameplay is fun.

>>716497575

>>716497737
>>716497883
Yeah like that

>>716497484
how do you monetize skate though? you just do tricks. if they want to charge out the ass for holographic rainbows and shit then let them scam faggots. i don't want to look gay and I can still play the game.

>>716496787 (OP)
>Dave Mirra has been dead for almost 10 years now

>>716497954
Cosmetics is the easy answer
Paywalled missions like Ubisoft did with riders republic
Paywalled tricks
"ENERGY"

>>716497883
Was Bam actually a good skater in his prime or just a meme skater due to his popularity from Jackass?

>>716497449
Can't find anything on that. You're lying.

>>716497737
he was pro really early on in the grand scale of things. he's one of the pioneers and did it at a young age.

>>716497575
>Mudslime tattoos
They really go after the hopeless and mentally weak.

>>716498080
He's the type of "sk8er boi" avril sang about.
All about image, couldn't really skate

>>716496787 (OP)
Is the wheelchair mode unlockable in the game?

>>716498080
He was legit, he got a bunch of sponsorships, but then he fell down the degeneracy hole and never recovered

>>716496787 (OP)
I always wanted to skateboard growing up, but I lived in a shitty rual area so I never got a chance. Feels bad man...
Thank you for reading my blog post.

>>716498107
Its in Tony Hawk: Occupation Skateboarder
I did a book report about it in like 6th grade

https://web.archive.org/web/20250706183355/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/arts/tony-hawk-pro-skater.html

Most recent interview talks about drinking whiskey. Don't know anything about hitting the reefer tho.

>>716498447
>ITS ALL OF THEM
fudge off, muslim

>>716498263
Basically this, he wasn't complete shit. But at any given time, just in the immediate PA, VA, NC area there were half a dozen dudes without any sponsors who shredded harder than Bam ever could. I wouldn't blame people for not knowing that though. People don't see what a scene really is on a TV screen.

Why couldn't they just create a new THPS game instead of remaking all 4

>>716497347
Which is exactly why most people aim to go pro in their mid to late teens. The ability to fall hard and bounce right back up to try a trick again quickly falls off in your mid 20s

>>716498263
No, she was singing see you later, boi.

>>716498616
He was a "see you later, boi"?

>>716498080
A lot of what made a good skater back then was just having the balls to actually do the stunts. He was a good enough skater but not phenomenal or anything

>>716497575
>and skates better than Hawk
LMAO. Yeah, ok, BAM.

Don't you have missed child support payments to be paying instead of dicking about on 4chun?

>>716498107
smoke drink fuck aint ths crack meth and oxyscbam and crew were blasted on

>>716497347
The reason there aren't as many older people is because its harder to recover from injuries and because the culture is more for young people. Its not like you can't do some sick stuff on the board at that age

>>716498540
demaking*

>>716497985
LOVE IS
IS WHAT I GOT
I SAID REMEMBER THAT

>>716499136
some older people's knees are fucked up making it hard to even ollie because of pain >_>

>>716497883
Embarrassing washed out bum.

>>716497985
Its kind of sad to see the people daring to live getting these brain injuries from all the concussions and ending up like Mirra or Bam.

>>716499291
this is old retard

>>716499235
Sublime is fucking terrible

>>716499370
This is somehow supposed to make it better?

>>716499136
Yup, even if you're working out and stuff. Which sucks. You can remember how to do everything. But the power you need to do it just isn't there.

>>716499370
okay, bam

>>716497883
>grimacing in pain just from falling on his ass

>>716499136
A lot of people don't realize how hard skateboarding and tricks are on your knees.

>>716498042
well, while it's still good, play it while you can. I got in the alpha and it doesn't have any bullshit yet so it feels like one of the best games ever made to me right now. they already have all the tricks, not like you can invent new ones at this point, but i guess they could do some retarded one button 10x backflip or other ridiculous cartoon shit. that would be fucking lame to use even if they did add it. energy and paywalled missions would fucking suck...

>>716499460
Your bones are just too brittle and your not as springy as you used to be.
I'm not one of those "oh no I hit 30 I'm dead" guys but even just dropping 6 feet onto your feet will fuck up your ankles whereas when you were 15 you could fall 6 feet into the top of your head and laugh it off

>>716499447
yes because he's still skating

>>716496787 (OP)
why did you cut the story mode, Tony?

>>716499493
he broke his wrist in that clip dumbass lmfao

>>716497547
>Tony Hawk is now older than when I was younger and THPS came out and is now younger than the older Tony Hawk that is now older than me when I was younger when THUG released

>>716499829
brittle ass bones

Is 3+4 worth it?

>>716499756
Ignore the anti-Bam Fuddees. They've been shorting BAMcoin ever since he went to prison and have been trying to pump Steve-O-Inu and think being aggressively against Bam will make them rich.

>>716499892
no i felt like I was scammed by fraudulent troons

>>716499952
>Steve-O-Inu
tfw 99% of my networth is in both BAMcoin and Steve-O-Inu

Man I loved THUG game
Say "THUG game" over in your head five times

>>716500275
so you don't

>>716499892
There isn't a whole lot of reason to play it over the original unless you really care that much about the graphics

Project 8 best game in the series, don't even @ me.

>>716500536
My copy was so buggy it wouldn't let me complete the first fucking mission

>>716500275
you don't even know what standing up MEANS KWAB

>>716497381
he was quite active in the south californian jenkem community during the late 90s

>>716499892
I got a few levels into 3 in 3+4, then uninstalled and just replayed the original

>>716499881
Damn...Really makes you think.

My sister for some reason always liked Rodney Mullen more than Hawk. Apparently this dude invented most of the skate tricks and skater community cannot replicate even 10% of his stuff.

>>716496787 (OP)
I will buy it as soon as you go back and remake 4 properly you fucking washed faggot. (I know it’s not your fault Tony I still think you’re cool but FUCK the devs or project managers or whoever who gimped 4)

>>716500659
>brings up blacked porn
You cucks are so weird.

>>716500624
"next gen" version is the only real version, ps3 and 360. The other ports weren't even made by Neversoft. I think people dislike the game because it came out between gens so most probably played the lesser ports, likely the shitty ps2 one.

>>716500860
Mullen is an autistic savant

>>716500860
he invented the kickflip and most of the tricks yes

>>716501024
you're really lost and very confused aren't you?

>>716497158
He just got old.

>>716501058
The buggy version that didn't let me beat the first mission was the 360 version

>>716501387
welp then. i personally played the ps3 version and had a blast, I even emulated it a couple of months ago and it's working great on my weak ass pc.

>>716496787 (OP)
Take the Qunol Turmeric and CoQ 10 before.. I.. beeeeeeeeeeep

>>716497484
Yeah but it was going to be like this anyways, at least it doesn't have a MSRP along with the bullshit.

>>716500860
>>716501162
He also invented the flatground ollie. The jump that you basically do for every other flip.
His 90s videos are still pretty much black magic for all skaters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olv1tqGmDdo

>>716497158
Happens to most people who are out in the sun for extended periods of time. Makes the skin crack all over the place

>>716502087
It only happens to white people which is pretty funny
They're so lame

>>716496787 (OP)
fuck thps3+4 play Rethawed instead.

>>716499136
Its what happens when it's a hobby primarily pushing people into street skating (cement) and doing jump tricks. Also a hobby that says "pads and helmet are gay, dude". I feel like that is why most vert skaters are still kicking unless they had a terrible spill at an X Games or similar.
I love how this song was used in Tony Hawk 1+2. I never heard it until the game came out.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7kecW5p0b5I

>>716499404
Fuck you, yeeyee ass bitch.

>>716499881
This. Also we need Austin Powers and Dr Evil as secret skaters.

>>716498540
Nostalgia sells better than novelty. All the new Hawk games kinda sucked after Downhill Jam

This is back before Ollie's where a thing. I think he also invented the pop shove it, varial flip, dark slide/Casper slide. I know it kinda doesn't look super impressive to today's skaters but videos like these are basically showing the baby stepsof skateboards. I think he was also responsible for the current design of skateboards and he designed that back then. Before we used to have those Bart Simpson skateboards that are kinda fish shape with the big tail stop on the back. Basically all the weird wacky shit about Tony Hawk game moves came from an invention of his. And I remember Tony saying how the next generation of skaters kinda learned from the video games and committed to moves and lines that were difficult to do before, like chaining multiple flips, manual, and grinds. Its all extremely difficult but that's what the younger kids are focusing on so they're crazy good at a younger age than the 70s, 80s, 90s kids.

>>716497158
He went to the beach that makes you old.

>what do you do?
>I skate
anyone else?

>>716505637
Yes, I would play a game of skate against Hawk and win

Pfft professionals? Bam's the only one who is pro. Just because Wee Man can do a nose-slide on a fucking one foot curb does not mean he’s a pro, you do not get little kid points. And Steve-O? You know, yeah he skates but he can barely do a rail slide on a fucking flat bar. Meanwhile we have Cory Juneau, Nyjah Huston, Chris Joslin all these motherfuckers, breaking their ass. I talked to the Olympics, they all said "this is fucked."
