i remember watching this live when i was 9. it changed skateboarding for years.

[thatguy1252]

@cephalothoraxx no he didnt, skateboarding at that time was already basically at its furthest and is still the same minus a few more awesome moves, cept now people can do the 900 more, thats it, he didnt change skateboarding from doing that move

this was my first x-games run i ever watched when i watched it i went crazy.but when i saw this in this years best of the x-games i broke down in tears because it was so emontonal and memories

[thatguy1252]

@icpfan19 grow a set, you cried? i can understand tony and his friends getting emotional, but WTF???. im sry but its true. its just a move, someone had to do it first, and he did thats it.

am i the only one who remembers that tony hawk actually didnt win gold at the skate best trick contest since his 900 was after time? it was colin mckay that won the contest. not that im saying that winning the contest is more important than doing a 900, because clearly it isnt. i just remember that colin mckay won but for the LIFE of me cannot find any proof online. can anyone cosign me on this so i dont feel crazy??

[NHLfreak87]

@hawaiicanal89 You are exactly right my friend. At least I think so. That's what I can recall aswell. It was definately after the time had expired :).

[y0uRmOnKeY]

@hawaiicanal89 As it is true that Tony Hawk did the 900 after time was up, he still won. I didn't watch it live but from all the sources i've found and the videos I've found thats what it seems to indicate. I could be wrong though.
