Tony Hawk Flies High – There is no bigger name in skateboarding than Tony Hawk and last week he posted a video of him completing a 720 at 52. Although not competing since 2003, he posted a video of him completing some ‘killer tricks’ including the insane two full spins. It did come after a series of failed attempts, but it was impossible not to cheer along with him when he finally nailed it.
The 720 is an awesome feat for any professional skateboarder, but Hawk landed a 900 in 2016. The dude still has incredible fitness.
