Tony Hawk

The Sports Bubble with Jensen Karp

For the past four decades, the sport of skateboarding has been synonymous with the name Tony Hawk. Plain and simple, Hawk = GOAT. Sorry, how many other riders do you know who can fly through the air on a skateboard and do a 900 - at 48 years old? We’ll save you the time - there aren’t any. The skateboarding legend shares with Jensen how he celebrated his birthday in quarantine on Zoom and what it’s like going from an “empty nest” to a full Birdhouse. Then, Tony talks about one of the biggest announcements in video game history - quarantine or not: the upcoming remastered release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2. Tony also gives the latest update on the feel-good story that went viral - exchanging skateboards with 6-year-old Cooper through a FedEx driver named Mikail. Plus, talks about the delayed debut of skateboarding at the Olympics, The Masked Singer, and why David Spade is a better skater than Tony was a stunt double.
