Tony Hawk’s Tweets

To those seeing pics of me using a cane and assuming it is a permanent situation: I had my femur surgically realigned 2 weeks ago in order to get back to what I love doing at a high level. And I’m taking it slow this time around. See you on the other side.

To the hundreds (thousands?) of people that yelled “do a kickflip” today: my apologies; it was hard enough skating through the whole parade on my misaligned femur. Surgery is scheduled for next week to put it back in place 🤞🏽

I can’t currently offer a new THPS, so here’s the next best thing: playing hits from THPS soundtracks at the legendary Dec 4. I might join on voclas for a couple songs... which ones would you suggest I sabotage? 🎮🛹🎸 Tix:

TFW you realize your podcast is actually costing you money instead of generating income:

Kid Cudi hit me up about learning how to skate. I’ve given him two lessons so far and it has been gratifying to see his commitment to the process. Rarely do beginners take direction so well or progress as quickly. And he’s taken some slams, only to get back up like a true skater:

I did my first kickflip today since breaking my femur 7 months ago. It was difficult. It was painful. It was sloppy. It was [possibly] payback for me harassing strangers to do the same. But it was gratifying beyond words. Find your metaphorical kickflip and don’t quit on it.

Our dog Lola may be getting older, but she’s not slowing down. That's why she's my favorite skating partner! No matter where our adventures take us, Purina Sport keeps her going strong right by my side. Full video coming soon. #ad

It was a humbling challenge to skate in public tonight but I’m relieved that one of my good runs happened while sharing the ramp with . The first rule of doubles is Being There. “As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.”

Here's the official #THVA schedule for SLC, and it’s all free to spectators. Friday night (Legends Demo) will be my first public skate exhibition since my injury, and although I’m not as far in my recovery as I’d hoped, I have never been so anxious about an event in my career.

I took questions from the audience after my talk in Antwerp tonight. Someone yelled “do a kickflip!” I said I’m currently unable due to my injury but you are welcome to come up here & do one. Four kids answered the challenge, all first try. Skateboarding is thriving in Belgium!
