New Tony part ‘tapes you leave behind’

[MrDuckey]

Is there another sport where 6 year old children and 60 year old men can do the same crazy shit? Makes you wonder if it's less about skill and more about being willing to throw your body around

[Crust]

Vert wouldn't be my favorite type of skating to watch, but I am in awe at Tony's drive at 55 years old.

Still learning new tricks and pushing himself; inspirational!

[goodatmeth]

Inspiring. Gonna try to do every possible trick from this part in a really small miniramp

[ShyLow]

Fun stuff in there. Hard to imagine Birdman hanging it up. Doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.

[ziggy]

I have a terrible feeling of loss after watching this

[Cuban_Lynx]

He didn't even have to do that, but he did that.

Nothing but respect

That’s the best part. He has nothing to promote here and nothing to prove.

[j....soy.....]

This is all new footage?  or just the one trick?

[lickcakes]

what a very good boy

I think all relatively new like at least since covid. No idea if some of those lakai clips are pre vans or after.

[wake and bacon]

Yeah, I was just confirming short of the BV 50-50, it's all pre injury stuff right? 

[Sedition]

Yes. Same.

[layzieyez]

Going out on the highest note. It’s hard to imagine anyone else putting out a swan song part this epic.

I was actually listening to some other music on my headphones while watching this on my phone and One Vision from Queen came on when the part was just one banger after another.

I'm not sure how to tell what's new or old. Seems like if it was just that one trick left to do he'd of just put it out without it. Only thing I can tell that's different is some tricks the coping just has birdhouse repeated and some birdhouse then skate light

[KoRnholio8]

50 or 55 years old, this is inspiring in any case

[bohemian]

nerd is still killing it
somehow i find it hard to beleave this is his last part. there is no way hes not gonna document any more skateboarding.

[Mount St. Hermdog]

wildly insane tricks in this fr fr and also I'm not crying you are!!!

[OldieButFrenchie]

This should probably shut down the "Best Older Skaters" thread in the Useless Wooden Toy Banter.

for real. Who else is doing NBD's and learning new shit at 55?
I can't believe his recovery after the femur. also...madonna to switch crooked??? gonna have to rewatch this.

[RoughStylin]

Loved the frontside grab over the channel to smith grind at 1:12

[Shuh]

Last tricks in Lakais haha

[HugeBodBoyle]

Bam should put out his final part and call it "Apes You Leave Behind".

She'll be so pissed.

[streetmeat]

i might have choked up

[yghartsyrt]

don't care for birdman as a person and wasn't that much into him as a vert skater, but those were some wild stunts.
Loved the front hurricane over the channel.

impressive to pull this off at that age.

He's gonna reinvent himself as a curb guy

[RoaryMcTwang]

Hard not to shed a tear here.

[Filip]

Amazing, I love you Tony. That hurricane over the channel in the first couple of tricks was the best, proper ollie into it and everything.

[Síota]

That was class. Crazy that he is 55, gives me hope!

[Star Whores Episode I: The Fellatio Menace]

Got a tad emotional in the kinda corny bones brigade section, a real watermark for the passing of time.  Say what you want about his cheesyness, but Tonys had a wild & long career & to even bother going this hard is some real skate rat shit and I fuckin' love it.

Is it me, or is it weird to anyone else that Tony spends way more time talking about the legacy of the Bones Brigade and not the board company he started and rode for over the past 30 years? If you look at all the people who have ridden for Birdhouse over the years (Reynolds, Kirchart, Berra, Greco, Klein, McCrank, Santos), the lineup is arguably as heavy and not arguably more influential to the modern landscape of street skating than the Bones Brigade team.

[j....soy.....]

No one asks him…..

That said, he talks pretty regularly about the lean days at Birdhouse…..

My impression is his rehab is going just ok and for himself and everyone else, he doesn’t want to carry on the insane expectations.  He’s now showing us the way on how to walk away from it…..

[Star Whores Episode I: The Fellatio Menace]

The world needs a Tom Green story.

My theory is that he's pretty hands off with Birdhouse as far as running the team, and just rides for them and owns the majority of the stake.
