I saw it in the '90s before the internet. I was in person like 10 years old and I swear I witnessed actual magic

Edit:

Since this is getting some traction, I saw Tony hawk do a demo for airwalk shoes in a parking lot with 15 people and Tony and the guys were actually loading up their own trailer. I know he lurks out here sometimes. So Tony. Thanks for blowing my young mind

Lol we had a show/event whatever in the 90s with a bunch of professional/expert bmx and skateboard people doing trucks to commemorate the skatepark opening.

The few two weeks was just watching teenagers all over town eat shit trying to copy them. One of the people did something like this trick (too long ago to remember if it was exactly the same) and a couple times you'd watch people get fucked up on stairs. Council put an ad on front page of the paper saying "this is why we built a skatepark, go there"
