Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off

If you don't know what it looks or feels like to drop into a 9 or 12 foot vert, or crash and burn on a 6 foot bowl made of cement, you will still understand what Tony Hawk's life was like, from this documentary.

It's very genuine, and tells a great story of one of the best skateboarders, and second generation pioneers of all of skateboarding.

Until The Wheels Fall Off is aptly titled.

Its very inspiring seeing a man curve his entire life through something that was a hobby when he was a kid, rise up to then top, give up on it, then go back to it only to lose everything - but never get off those wheels and becomes an icon.

If you're looking for a documentary about family, broken bones, and feel good moments. You'll love this documentary.

This documentary shows what life can be when you find something you love and commit 100% to it. Truly inspiring. Rodney Mullen's comments bring the story to the next level with some amazing insights.

As a skateboarder, i watched the whole thing with a huge smile on my face.

This is what skate is all about... recently he broke his leg skating, 3 weeks later he was walking to present an Oscar. He just wont quit, he's already skating again because he has set himself to this demo. This Man is is over 50! He should be in the MCU!

This is a fascinating documentary about the life of Tony Hawk, wunderkind skateboarder extraordinaire. A passionate, persevering pioneer of over 100 tricks, there is a reason he was the National Skateboard Association world champion for twelve years. The film follows Hawk back to childhood with amazing footage of the beginning of his career, his entry into The Bones Brigade, his father's managerial involvement in the sport, early struggles, landing the 900, his success at the X Games, the risks, sheer compulsion, and punishment his body takes, as well as his personal development. This film is so well produced. Tony and his fellow skaters including Stacy Peralta, Duane Peters, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Steve Cabellero, and Christian Hosoi and more are interviewed, as well as Hawk's sister and brother. I enjoyed listening to them all, especially his brother, The Bones Brigade founder Peralta, and Rodney Mullen who is mesmerizing to listen to.
