Tony Hawk Skates The Warehouse Level From Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Tony Hawk has skated the warehouse level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in real life. You can check out the video here:

The 52-year-old took on the warehouse for real to celebrate the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, which was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on Friday.

The revamp of the classic game - which became a cult favourite during the noughties - has been described by GAMINGbible as 'skating perfection'.

The 9/10 review reads: "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is about as good a remaster as we've ever had, staying as close to the originals as possible, and only veering off slightly where it spots a chance to improve on the source material.

"There's really no reason not to get this if you have even a passing interest in the original games, or skateboarding, or hanging out with your buddies on a Saturday night to see who can nail the craziest combos."

And although it's been a while since the originals were released, Hawk showed no signs of ageing in his real-life skate at the warehouse.

However, even the GOAT gets it wrong sometimes, and in June, he shared some pretty nasty pictures of his fingers 'bending in new directions' after he fell off his board.

WARNING - GRIM BENT FINGER PICTURES LIE AHEAD

Reflecting on the accident the day after, Hawk said he was 'too cavalier' with his approach, explaining how the fall happened with lots of skating parlance - which I for one do not understand.

He said: "The session was fun until I did a backside smith stall as a set up for a backside blunt, and suddenly found myself on the flat bottom with my fingers bending in new directions.

"The coping was huge and I paid the price by hanging up on my back truck.

"In that moment, I regretted not wearing full pads. Ironically, that wouldn't have saved me from injury but I was being too cavalier to think that a wall over eight foot with vert was as 'safe' as a mini-ramp.

"The session came to a screeching halt, and Riley drove me to the hospital like Ricky Bobby with a cougar in the backseat."

He continued: "I am filled with divergent emotions: sadness from scaring my son & friends, regret from being cocky/careless, grateful from having an injury that could have been worse, and frustrated that I never got a backside blunt... as my skater ego endures.

"As pro skaters, we accept that injuries are inevitable and perseverance is key to success. But it still sucks to get hurt, especially at my age. And I'll still be back for more."

That's the spirit.
