Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off

Really enjoyed watching this doc. I was only ever a half hearted highschool skater, but still found this an inspiring watch. The dedication, the heart, the work...all while enduring being a teenager, which is hard enough on it's own. The old footage is fantastic, and I love the slow build and history of how the sport evolved, died, was revived, died, and on and on. Tricks got bigger, skaters got older and stronger, and the context of the sport changed so much. I learned a ton from this doc. I met Tony in 2010...went to LA to shoot an interview with him, along with a few other celebs, for the olympics. Watching this doc really added context to the interview and the chats we had in the short time we all spent with him, and gave the film even more depth...for me anyway. Honest and moving doc. Great film making.

This documentary shows what life can be when you find something you love and commit 100% to it. Truly inspiring. Rodney Mullen's comments bring the story to the next level with some amazing insights. As a skateboarder, i watched the whole thing with a huge smile on my face.

Caught about 90% of this movie while my husband was watching it. I know who Tony Hawk is but that's all I knew going in. Don't know skateboarding, don't know the history, and don't know a thing about Tony's life. This was an excellent doc that told an incredible (and devastating) story. As a therapist, I hope those men have good ones.
