- [Tony] All right, you're
on your way, lean forward!
- [Zach] What do I do?
(Zach laughing)
- That was a pretty good
knee slide, actually.
You all right?
(upbeat jazzy music)
- Hey guys, I'm here with Tony Hawk today.
Super excited.
Thanks for having me.
- Thanks.
- I'm gonna learn how to skate
and I'm gonna show him some tricks.
You're probably not wearing a helmet,
but I'm gonna wear a helmet, so.
(balloon popping)
Let's go.
- What?
Is that safe?
You need your skateboard.
- Step one.
- Okay, let me do a quick
warm up, so I can get loose.
And then we'll get into it.
(upbeat rock music)
- I feel like I should be warming up too.
They said I'm not good
enough to go up here,
it'd be kind of dangerous,
but I could slide down.
Whew!
- Okay, I'm good.
- That's your warm up?
- Yeah, that's it.
- I'm warmed up too, okay, let's do this.
So what am I gonna learn?
- The idea is you've got
to go down this ramp, okay.
And when you go down the ramp,
you have got to lean forward
to anticipate that motion.
- Now for the actual board slide,
I need to make a jump happen?
- Yeah.
So you need to learn how to ollie,
which is the act of snapping.
- [Zach] Like that.
- Yeah, that's the general idea.
Hit your tail, there you go!
Okay, that'll be, that'll work for this
That rail's kinda slippery,
so I say lean forward.
- All right.
You make it look easy.
We'll see how this goes.
(upbeat rock music)
- All right, Zach, see what you've got.
- Woo!
- Solid board slide.
- Yeah, it's nice.
- You're gonna bar that?
- Sure.
Hey, thank you guys so much for watching.
Don't forget to check out
these two videos and subscribe.
And also check out Tony's
company, Birdhouse.
Can I ask you a favor?
- Yes.
- Can you sign my skateboard?
- Oh yeah, for sure.
- I mean, not that, not
that one, this little one.
- Oh.
Got it.
- We're gonna give this to
somebody in the comments.
So comment below and we'll
randomly pick someone in a week.
Sweet.
I'm gonna have you come
down one of the ramps
and you're gonna do a board slide
onto the flat rail.
Flat bar?
- Flat bar. Yeah, that works.
(both laughing)
Let me get to fake it. (laughs)
