I mean Tony was doing some genuinely novel and cool things. I'm not surprised he's a California fail son, but he was flipping and spinning in a way that was new to the sport. All these other dudes had long limbs and they'd reach down and grab their boards mid air. Tony was not a tall guy so he learned to tuck himself up in a ball. Genuinely impressed the old heads.
Tony Hawk is 6 ft 3, how tall is not tall??
I'm 6'6. Can confirm, am a short king.
Seethes in 5'9
5 10 gang!
200 cm (6 ft 6.7 in)
To give a serious answer though, Hawk was a professional skateboarder already at 14, so maybe he was referring to before Hawk reached his full height?
Okay I admit I got that from a Tony Hawk documentary. And I think that when was when he was like 14 so that's probably before his growth spurt.
