[Tony Hawk: 50 tricks at Age 50] (Viewer #606,061)
You absolutely need to turn captions on, or you won’t be sure if he’s moved on to a new trick.
And then you need to watch it again, because some of the distinctions are quite subtle.
Also, I still don’t know what a fakie is.
Anyway, it’s an impressive collection. I couldn’t even do any of these when I was 20.
I wish all skateboarders would take up the yo-yo instead. It’s a less intrusive, annoying toy.
A “fakie” is when you don’t turn around at the top of the ramp. So the lead foot on the way up is the trailing foot on the way down. The original “fakie” was basically going up the ramp, stopping due to gravity, and then going back down backwards. You “faked” doing a trick.
