A really interesting look into the life and career of Tony Hawk, from outcast kid to global superstar. Hearing from both Hawk himself and key figures from his life and the wider skating community, a holistic view is given of his journey, not shying away from personal difficulties and the perceptions of unwelcoming sections of the culture. These insights can range from the bluntness of fellow and rival skaters of the 80s to the philosophical ramblings of Rodney Mullen.
Iconic moments from skateboarding receive great focus, such as the first 900, highlighting the key events within a profession which has fluctuated wildly across the decades.
The timeline does jump around a little and certain topics are completely skimmed over, such as the video game series and his many pop culture appearances, but in thay way that does keep it faithful to exploring just the skating in his life.
