X-Games Vert Best Trick 1999, including Hawk's 900.
This was rescued from dodgy old VHS tapes.
This is from an old Saturday morning show called RAD, which was on in the late 1990's to early 2000's.

Who won the competition that day?. Tony put his hand on the ground, does that count?.
timestamp for Tas Pappas's trick?
oh yh Tony hawk stopped him from skating
Were they still doing slob fast plants in ramps during those times?
BS ONE FOOT SMITH REVERT
Tony Hawk Sucess as a pro skateboarder has came a long way too bad he retired that same year in 1999 but this when he first came out with his game Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game turned pro in the '80's went on to be the best and greatest of all time throughout his whole life skateboarding never stop skating all the is his life legend he had good life always keeping his life private so cool.
Sellouts
i love how even though its a competition, everyone's super supportive. Thats pretty cool.
Man Bob was really pushin it, that 1 Smith doh
I remember pretty vividly but why did they let him make so many attempts?
Man I wish I was born in the 80s
I lost my mind when I watched this go down in 99. Still boggles it. Absolutely insane for someone to just crank it out like that on a normal ramp.
in a time without red bull paying everybody....witout gopros or drones.... .ahhh great times.
Notice everyone giving him their spirit powers like in dragon ball z to help him power up right before he landed it?
Technically he didn't land it. He landed with the use of his hand and you can tell by the look on his face that even he knew he didn't actually land it, "technically", but still excellent skating though!! Mad respect.
