Tony Hawk celebrates with real-world Pro Skater challenge

Tony Hawk celebrated the successful launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 by taking part in a real-life THPS challenge while out on a skate.

Went to skate yesterday and was surprised to find my ramp turned into a real-life [Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2] challenge,” Hawk wrote on Twiter.

“Thanks to my staff for the thoughtful gift, and thanks to all of you that got the game this weekend. Hope you’re enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the development process.”

You can check out Hawk collecting real-world S-K-A-T-E letters (and an old hidden tape) in the video below.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
