Tony Hawk: Till the Wheels Fall Off documentary review


Listen Later

Some athletes really don’t want to quit. We all know powerlifters who should probably hang it up due to age, injuries, and the chaos the sport can bring to their “real” lives. Tom Brady can’t stay retired. Joe Montana had to hear from Bill Walsh that he couldn’t be a 49er anymore. Albert Pujols is still playing major league baseball in his 40s. And Tony Hawk is still rolling in his 50s. This highly-rated documentary gives some idea of what still drives him, how he stepped on a skateboard for the first time, and his formative role in the history of professional skateboarding. Is he the "good" guy we all think he is? When you’re no longer able the be the athlete you were, who are you? Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos joined us in this discussion and brought his personal knowledge of the sport and its impact on fashion, gaming, and culture.
