Someone should remind Tony Hawk that he’s THE Tony Hawk.

Reddit is great for exactly things like this. If you can think of a community, even the strangest or smallest community, a subreddit exists for it. Take “old skaters,” for example, who post to, you guessed, r/OldSkaters, a subreddit for skateboarders who lean over 30.

The subreddit is pretty wholesome, serving as a genuine place for guys and gals still pushing wood. However, there is one poster among them who is unlike all the rest: the most famous skater of all time, Tony Hawk.

Hawk posts under the username u/tonyskates and isn’t posting to go viral or gain lost clout; he’s genuinely part of the community. In fact, he posts pretty frequently as well. For instance, just six days ago, he posted a clip of himself in Saudi Arabia, captioned, “The only skatepark in Saudi Arabia [57YO].”

Even though Hawk is the most famous man to ever ride a board, for a 57-year-old, he still rips, and that’s pretty cool.
