Tony Hawk & Top Pros Show up at Local Skateparks

skateboarding's gotten bigger and bigger and bigger there's less happening at the grassroots level and the secret tour is just a great opportunity to impact the grassroots you know Tony really can't do that with announcing that he's coming because his name is so big and he draws so many people like who saw in Montana you know 10,000 some people it's just ridiculous but get on the road just like secret tour thing and it's just yeah just show it just shows us you know really the importance of what we do and why we're here [Music] never I've never seen a first Gator [Music] you think about the idea this guy's just gonna show it up on the scene actually it's better cuz it's not all it could be expected you're just gonna stay show up you're just shocked and it's just it's actually more exciting actually you're sitting at home doing nothing else on your Tony Hawk suit this is my channel [Music] look how excited they are you know just a group of like Penn Stater show up you know how to ride these things and I just knowing so much they're gonna be inspired by us so that's a good thing [Music] and the fact that a good propose took the time to come hang out with them you know what I mean I think that that says a lot just for our sport and generally says that's that's what we're into you know these are the routes that we we grew up in these these are the types of scenes that we all we all lived in and we appreciate it and we're out there experienced in them there are any other sports that you can say professionals show up at your local spot certainly doesn't happen in ball sports [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] whenever we select a group of you guys to come on this trip I try to make it diverse you know I know there's certain guys that are good at writing transitions there's certain guys that are good at riding rails there's so few guys that are doing writing banks or doing transfers from anything to the other everybody on this tour is like a perfect mix you know I mean you got you got Chalmers you got Mike Vee got Tony me like though the older dudes I guess I can't believe I'm saying I'm an older dude but I am and then you got the little drops and and they're just killing it I think the whole point and putting together such a diverse crew is to represent all the facets of skateboarding and to show these kids that it's not just about one type of skating it's not just about hitting the stairs or hitting a handrail or jumping jumping a hip it's about doing it all covering all your bases and just having fun on everything [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
