Father Time is undefeated … even against the skateboarding G.O.A.T.
Tony Hawk has completed what he’s calling his “last ever” Ollie 540 … and the moment will hit you right in the feels.
Of course, 52-year-old Hawk first nailed the move in 1989 … and has spent the past 32 years perfecting his technique.
Naturally, there were a bunch of wipeouts along the way … and Hawk says the failed attempts have especially taken a toll on his body over the past 10 years.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As a result of that, TH decided to officially retire the trick … but first, he wanted to land it one last time.
In true Tony Hawk fashion, the skater was able to step up to the challenge and complete the trick … and the video is pretty emotional.
“Kinda sad,” Hawk said while choking back tears. “I’m like a little sad. I’ve never had much finality to anything but that was definitely the last one I’ll ever do.”
“F*** it. Happy I made it. Thanks guys for hanging in there with me.”
Now, Hawk is using the monumental moment to rake in some serious cash … announcing the footage of his final Ollie 540 will be sold as an NFT.
Hawk didn’t leave the pipe unscathed, however — he still did some damage to his pinky.
Ice up, G.O.A.T.!!
