Tony Hawk can still pull off a 900 at 48 years old
Wow.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Tony Hawk might be retired from professional skating, sure he’s 48-years old -- but this is proof that Hawk is still the GOAT. Monday marked the 17-year anniversary since Hawk landed the first 900 at the 1999 X-Games, and he wanted to do it again.
Sure it took a few attempts, and Tony was a little frustrated by the time he finally landed the 900 (at 1:45 in the video), but that can be forgiven. Dude isn’t exactly a spring chicken at this point. Perhaps the coolest thing is that his son Spencer Hawk was there to witness it — again. Spencer was only 3 months old when his dad landed the trick, but he was there again this time around.
