Tony Hawk: As long as the wheels hold is a very entertaining documentary that chronologically reviews the life of the most famous extreme athlete in history. The film looks at Tony's life from his early days in the sport to the present day. Not only do we have the protagonist, but we can also see his brother and sisters and many important figures in the world of skateboarding, such as steve knight, Stacy Peralta or Rodney Mullen. These three being the main commentators, we also have some of their colleagues as mike mcgill, Mountain Lance, neil blender, Andy MacDonald, Duane Peters, Sean Mortimer s Christian Hosoi.

The documentary consists of two parts. In the first one, we have a review of the history of sports youth along with Tony's own. In this first part we are introduced to the attitude of Falcão, his friends and his enemies in the skateboard and how the contest was conceived thanks to the important figure who was Frank Hawkyour father. Frank Hawk was the creator of National Skate Association. In this first part we are also told how Tony views the sport. It was always his emotional outlet and he himself was always his biggest rival to beat. We see how he goes from discovering the sport, joining the mythical band Bones Brigade created by Stacy Peralta (one of the creators of the sport) and finally how he becomes professional.

In the second part they teach us the decline of skateboard in terms of general public interest and how its popularity is rising again thanks to the X-Games and above all to Tony, who has become the visible face of the sport. Then there is a review of video games, shows and Tony's own figure as an icon, but above all as a father and person.

I think there's something wrong Tony Hawk: As long as the wheels hold and it's that he never manages to delve into the icon that Tony has stood for for more than a generation. And I mean icon in many ways. While it's true that the documentary delves deeper into the athlete's own psychology and possibly mental health, at no point does it reflect on how Tony Hawk changed fashion (of clothing, culture and music) for the 90s generation thanks to video games Tony Hawk Professional Skater.

Precisely discussing with a friend the other day the release of this documentary, we came to the conclusion that our musical tastes would possibly be different if we had never played the Playstation 1 game. Tony Hawk Professional Skater. Possibly we would never have climbed onto a table skate. Tony Hawk Professional Skater and the skate videos that arrived in Europe thanks to Tony Hawk was a megastar in the US has influenced the way we dress, the music we listen to, and the fact that many people of our generation climb (and some of us still do) skateboarding.

the final part of Tony Hawk: As long as the wheels hold he reflects on Tony's injuries and those of his teammates. It is a very new sport and we must not forget that many of those who started competing in the seventies and eighties are still alive and are now grandparents. Grandparents who keep skating. But the kind soul of Rodney Mullen, who whenever he speaks seems like a ray of calm Buddhist light, makes a precious reflection. According Mullen skateboarding is how we express ourselves as human beings. They still have things to say and that's why they continue to express themselves, maybe a little less each day, but it's their way of breathing and they'll keep breathing until they can't anymore. It's the only way they know how to live life.

Tony Hawk: As long as the wheels hold is a beautiful tribute to that visible face of skateboarding that has always been Tony Hawk. It is a review of the sport, of his career, but also of his victories and defeats. A beautiful tribute to one of the most influential figures of the last thirty years.
