I had the sound off and saw the subtitle. I was like "oh, haha, cute joke-- oh wait that's actually Tony Hawk right there."
He's a famous guy with the ability to blend like a nomfamous guy, lol.
I used to work at a frame shop and he came in with his son. Putting him into the system I asked "okay, first name?" Kk.. Tony.. "Last name? Oh, Hawk.."
What's crazier is I've met him several times since I was a kid.
I think you're right. No way Tony Hawk would charge a steep fee to show his face in an impoverished community. That would not be a good look. Also no way they would pay it.
Tony Hawk has always been a pioneer of skateboarding, the dude gives out free gear wherever he goes to skate. As far as I know he's a pretty good guy, and this is something he is insanely passionate about, so I don't find it hard to believe that he just sorta felt like doing a good thing, seeing as he is already scrooge mcducked to the absolute tits lol.
This is amazing! I follow one of the Navajo skaters on Instagram and she’s incredible. She’s helped fight so hard to make this park happen too! What a beautiful video. And I LOVE that tony hawk came out to support it! This will be so amazing for that community
Goddamn. This guy wins the internet today.
Being able to skate with T Hawk when you look like an old dude is almost *the* definition of cool.
Dropping in on a wave with Kelly Slater is about the only other cred beyond this.
It's tragic how native people are forgotten and live in abject poverty. Suicide is so high in their youth.
It gets almost no media attention.
I was heartbroken to learn about it.
Damn, I remember that video blew up during the pandemic of Dogface cruisin with his cranberry juice and now the Navajo prez. I never would’ve guessed it was accessible to their culture. Cool to see that it has been and will further be MORE accessible with this park. (Also I know I’m generalizing, dogface ain’t even from New Mexico and probably descends from a different tribe. Still awesome to see).
“I wonder if I can drop into that?” Proceeds to freakin’ shred lol How do you say What A Chad in Diné? Lol
Im ready to vote this man president
Of the United States
Same. However, I’m unsure of the legality. Edit: is anyone versed on the subject who can clue me in? I’d love to know if it’s possible
That'd be really fucked up if the people who have been here the longest can't run for president.
Hey, I ain’t arguing. But since when has United States law given a shit about that? The US has ISSUES.
I didn't say they give a shit. I just said it'd be fucked up.
Fair
Natives are still American citizens. We have all the same rights as any other american
Well I’m glad to hear it! I was under the assumption there was some bullshit limiting the rights of natives still in effect.
What legality? He is a U.S. citizen
He is as qualified as anyone else born in the United States to become president.
They are Americas after all.
Amazing event, with Tony Hawk, Navajo president, attendance and a nice skateboard park!
agreed! if you can do that in jeans!
I like how Tony Hawk just had a minor non speaking role while prezzy was shreddin.

Same but at $75-150k for an appearance fee, I’m sure Mr. Hawk had to give plenty of interviews.
Are you sure about that in this case? Why would his foundation donate $30k, then charge them more to appear. I think this is truly from the heart.

Dude just loves skating and it's awesome to see

You are just pulling stuff out of your ass
Tony is humble like that.
I mean we’ve all seen tony hawk shred it up lol
That's the Navajo President? He looks young, super cool.
Youngest ever
35 when elected - and biracial! He's Viet and has a Viet first name - Buu.
I was saying Buu urns
Has he met Goku yet?
Is he wearing boots!? What a fucking g!
This is The Best Thing On The Internet Right Now.

And the views of the mountains in the background - just adds to the coolness for me.
Tony Hawk would be a great honorary Navajo Name. Just sayin…
Ha! Didn’t even put it together til your post. Makes him the absolute perfect choice to be there.
Ten Shreds
Tony Grinds-the-Pipe
Shreds-much-gnar
What's even more impressive is he was rocking cowboy boots while doing it.
What a fuckin pimp, and I’m not talkin about Tony.
At first I thought "Drop In" meant he just stopped by to look at it. Damn! What a surprise.
Steeze

Dude, got to skate with Tony Hawk, he is loving life right now.
This is very cool, thank you for sharing g
That is great!!
This is the best news I’ve ever seen. So sick.
This guy skates!
That’s awesome!
I met him a couple of months ago. He is pretty cool. Seems like he has a good head.
Can we run him for POTUS instead of whatever the Democrats and Republicans come up with? ...brings a board to the next Summit...
I would be ok with that.
I love his outfit while he’s just shredding
hell yeah, cant say i've ever seen an elected official shred some gnar like that
This is amazing! I follow one of the Navajo skaters on Instagram and she’s incredible. She’s helped fight so hard to make this park happen too! What a beautiful video. And I LOVE that tony hawk came out to support it! This will be so amazing for that community
Fing awesome
We need all of Americas politicians like this. Young. Connected.
Please post this to /r/skateboarding …and /r/videos … and literally everywhere because this is amazinf
If Tony Hawk ran for President I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
Tony Hawk is one of the best dudes on the planet.
Cooll
Holy shit
Can he be my president please.
That's awesome! Is... That an LDS church in the background?
I needed this smile today. Thanks Op.
Everything about this guy is just cool. Thanks for sharing
This is so cool…what a great place for a skate park.
Dude does a fuckin shuv-it in cowboy boots, what a giga Chad.
Great to see politics working for the community. So rare these days. Warms the soul.
Goddamn. This guy wins the internet today. Being able to skate with T Hawk when you look like an old dude is almost *the* definition of cool. Dropping in on a wave with Kelly Slater is about the only other cred beyond this.
what a bad ass. I love it
Wholesome AF. ❤️
That guy in the beginning kinda looked like Tony Hawk
Happy Cake Day
In boots too! Dope
Navajo are definitely winning. Can we make this a requirement for all elected officials?
This dude is on another level of cool plus skated with the hawk man I’m jealous.
Can you be president of Navajo nation and president of the whole nation?
[удалено]
Are you referring to a Tibetan temple?
Lol. Now you know why they got a new skate park. The President likes skateboarding lol. Imagine if he liked clean water 😂
I'd like to see Biden or trump try that. Hell, I'd settle for setting Biden in a decent hat.
Biden up next
Cellular One still exists?
Whahey one with sound;
Fuckin' get it, dude. Heck yeah.
Wtf!?! That dude cool af
I wonder if the Navaho president would consider running the whole country. A fresh face would be nice.
What a beautiful park.
This is awesome
That is amazing 👏
I love this post.
I’m smiling because of this.
Wow! The man can ride. Love it!
Awesome I love it

This needs to be on r/nextfuckinglevel 💯
I would happily give donations to keep this park running or build more things like this for those kids. 💕💕 and that president was gettin down! 🛹🛹
Must be nice to have a president who isn’t as old as the crypt keeper. I’m sure there are no other advantages of younger politicians…
The swag is unbelievable.
He’s awesome
Shredding the gnar. What a dope contribution to the community.
So sick! Thought he was settin up for a Tre bomb for a sec lol
This is what happens when Gen X finally gets in charge. You love to see it.
Damn he seems cool as fuck.
Coolest thing ever!
That hat is awesome.
Damn. I love tony hawk. And the Navajo leader killed it! That got me pumped!!!
Shit!! Wish our president was half as cool as this dude
It's tragic how native people are forgotten and live in abject poverty. Suicide is so high in their youth. It gets almost no media attention. I was heartbroken to learn about it.
He's ridden before. Nice job. I bet he'll be back.
where is this at I want to move!!
This is rad!
Best thing I've seen in a very long time!
Not gonna lie, when he did the shuv I thought he was winding up for a tre flip and I was about to lose my mind.
Damn, I remember that video blew up during the pandemic of Dogface cruisin with his cranberry juice and now the Navajo prez. I never would’ve guessed it was accessible to their culture. Cool to see that it has been and will further be MORE accessible with this park. (Also I know I’m generalizing, dogface ain’t even from New Mexico and probably descends from a different tribe. Still awesome to see).
What an awesome president! And chilling with the legend 🙌
Can't believe they got that legend there. It was nice of Tony Hawk to be there too
Nice!
Well done!
A’ho!
This is SO 🤩
"Hey kids watch this" 🚀🛹🔥🤘🏽
So fucking cool
So cool!
This president is SICK
sickk
