@tonyhawk: Parting is such sweet sorrow, but I'm honored my first skateboard ended up in the Smithsonian.

Mixie Trouble :

Being in the Smithsonian museum is so cool.

Maryjane💰 :

Ain’t no way Tony hawk has aged dis much 😭😭

EJ Wont Let You Down :

Tony Hawk is such a unique living legend. Can you imagine being universally regarded as “the BEST to ever do something”? People will debate basketball players, boxers, tennis stars, soccer, football players, etc. Musicians, actors, directors, renaissance painters … You name it. Nobody will debate Tony Hawk.

Auto the Dragon :

I love the imagine of Tony hawk riding his first board, then picking it up and passing to the Smithsonian dude who treats like an ancient artifact as if Tony wasn’t literally just riding it

Lady Paparazzi :

is it weird to see them handling it with white gloves ever so gently after knowing what's it's been through??? 💚💚💚

locoengineer :

The Skoob :

57 and still doing tricks. Legend.

aaronhaipaa :

Bros first board was a 2x4

DesignerCallie :

✨Jules✨ :

Man what a moment 🩵

skateplad :

They didn’t even give it its own exhibit

choupique :

My first also in 78’, had a Logan Earth Ski, tracker trucks and red rider wheels. Wish I still had it.

Meat_Popsicle :

I know that Tony hawk has more control on a skateboard than I probably do on my own 2 feet walking down the sidewalk, but it's weird seeing him ride a skateboard without a helmet on.

945ampm :

Now this is the perfect reason to visit the Smithsonian on my trip to DC next month!
