Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off

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 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.

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!

So good. I'm a 90s teen and this was such a heartbreaking and heartwarming view into one of my icons. It was done beautifully and I just wanted to hug him!

Good watch if you're looking to witness: passion, discipline, determination, faith, hope, friendship, love. Confusion, loneliness, myopia.

Pretty well done doc. I gave it a 10 because I love Mullen. From my bias, he really stole the show. Layin down wisdom like it's his job. I love how they relate. It feels like they're both on the autism spectrum a little bit; I mention because it's a good thing and interesting.

Hawk's kid Riley? Seemed really interesting too. It's a shame there wasn't more of him, but all of the ex-pros were great too.
