Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off is a reckoning of passion told by those who best understand the price of that love story: Hawk, his loved ones and his peers on the board. That’s where Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off comes in. They don’t know the toll this life, and the deep devotion within it, has taken on the skater’s mind, body and emotions of his loved ones. As with a lot of famous people and their crafts, the general public only really knows half the battle in Hawk’s quest to conquer the art of skateboarding. The prolific athlete is the best-known and most accomplished skateboarder in the world, and his career has been a storied journey to greatness. So goes the story of Tony Hawk, famous to most for his name being before the words “Pro Skater” (the title of his legendary videogame series). It takes time, but when you find the thing that demands all of your focus, your dedication to it can catapult you to new heights-but it can also permanently change you for the worse, too, whether or not you want to fully acknowledge it. There’s a crazy calm in that chaos, the frantic and frenzied quest to “get it right,” whatever it may be. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes, the things that we struggle with can be our salvation. ![]()
