He is not competing. However, he is over there and skated the ramps. It's almost unreal how good he is at 53 years old. I used to be a skater and I can barely stand on a board these days without eating ****. Major props. Probably one of the greatest athletes of our lifetime and deserves all the credit he get's.

What are you LOLing. He and his father basically built a sport that barely existed, he dominated it and is now that sport is a multi billion dollar sport in the Olympics and he is considered the greatest to ever do it. So really there is nothing to LOL. It’s actually truth. You must have no clue about the sport
I wish I would have been better at skating. It never really clicked for me.
Rodney Mullen was my idol back in the day.
None of that makes him a great athlete.

Skateboarding was actually pretty big before Tony came along. He definitely took it to another level though. He's the reason I started skating when I was young.
The fact that his hips and knees aren’t absolutely destroyed is astounding.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and the soundtrack that went with it are my youth.
I think you are going to lose this battle and I'm not even a boarder.
Dumb me all you want but this **** in the Olympics is a joke.
There are plenty of sports in the olympics that are a much bigger joke than skateboarding
The problem isn’t the Olympics. It the fact you don’t understand the greatness off Hawk and how at his age he can’t still skate like he does
