The definitive life-spanning story of tonyhawk, feels like a long time coming.
When your name is practically synonymous with what you do, an in-depth, career-encapsulating documentary seems like an inevitability. That’s why, the definitive life-spanning story of skateboarding’s most legendary superstar, feels like a long time coming.
Hawk’s legacy is so all-encompassing that he’s a cultural icon even for those that don’t know a McTwist from a Madonna. But a lifetime of awards from competitions, a video game franchise that helped define an entire gaming genre, and the influence to finance skateparks all across the country don’t come without sacrifice – or, in Hawk’s case, a lot of bones that at 53 he continues to break .
Director Sam Jones marks this as a special quality about Hawk throughout the documentary: His determination to push himself has yet to fade. He simply doesn’t know anything else other than taking his body to the breaking point to achieve the ideals he sets for himself.
But Hawk’s endless feats represent more than just adept athleticism. The drained pools, half-pipes, and punk-rock skater culture that he inhabits become a more all-encompassing proving ground of putting your mind to something and following through, of getting back up after you fall down. Moreover, they become a test of the ability to be a reputable presence within the lives of your loved ones when your passion and career is one that demands so much.
