Back at the X-Games of 1999, Tony Hawk, perhaps the most successful vert skater known to man, landed the first-ever 900. After a gruesome battle, when the event was over, Tony, try after try, went for the big ole 900, and after many attempts landed it flawlessly.

This was a spectacular moment not only for Tony but for skateboarding. And 25 years later, Tony is back on the exact board from the 1999’s X-Games with another 900… this one just looks a bit different. Watch him relive this moment from the scope of a 50+ year old’s knees!
