My dad saw Scott Hamilton in line at the grocery store in Jackson, TN, & asked "Anyone ever tell you ya look like Scott Hamilton? Yes My mom
softrogue01
Wait...there were TWO people who recognized Tony Hawk in the same day???
linecookdaddy
Dude Chris Sent charged, he was my fave street skater when I was in high school. Dude went so hard, so fast
Internetuser666
He ripped in “Jump Off a Building.”
RoundThreeFIGHT
Lol I love that he thinks the guy is in on the joke he made about himself ?
FoxyEllie
to be fair, it's all over the internet, so it's not an unfair assumption

WokeGhettoSpiritualist

He got a job as a Tony Hawk impersonator
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
I wonder if he is related to Anthony hawk?
Hugomanen
But why is he Tony Hawk?
gibbybibby
My guess is surfing in Hawaii /s
AtmaDarkwolf
I am curious if TH just started this whole business about people recognizing but not recognizing him in public just to keep himself in the
AtmaDarkwolf
news, or relevant. Cuz Honestly I used to watch him all the time, but if i saw him in person i would most defiantly NOT think 'that guy ...
AtmaDarkwolf
...looks like Tony Hawk' (no offense TH if u reading this, but I'd simply just see you as a normal guy doing normal guy stuff)

I'm ready for Tony Hawk Kiwami.

Tony Hawk pro surfer, but I'm only in if its released on the n64 with cheats
aloharamada
Assume every stranger you talk to is actually Tony Hawk?
spookyactionatadistance
So that's yesterday. Living life like there isn't a pandemic.
GahDuma
Imagine having to stay inside because there aren't any outdoor activities to do.
spookyactionatadistance
It's winter in Montreal. I don't have to imagine. I still would go to the park and interact with people without a mask.
crdrgrnr
Hawaii put in lots of rules and is generally avoiding the pandemic from the mainland. He had to be tested to go there and while there, etc.
spookyactionatadistance
I understand but he still had to go to the airport, take a plane, etc. I don't know the situation so maybe it's for work.
freckledkink
People go outside still. All the time. That's the only place left. I'm with you on staying away from people (I'm immunocompromised and
freckledkink
Haven't gone anywhere or done anything in a year and neither have my kids), but outside is the one okay place.

Rode a 7'2" in my day and loved every minute of it.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
serious question to the Imgur skate community: is hawk really one of the best skaters, or is he just the best marketed? Genuinely curious.
MeatSparkles
He's a pioneer in vert skating. Broke barriers and things thought not possible. He basically showed everyone whats possible and more.
TheMiamiVicePresident
He is genuinely very good but yeah also very iconic. He’s invented a lot of original aerial tricks that are still in competitive skating too
TheMiamiVicePresident
But to kinda answer your question: he was marketed so well because he was so good
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Fair enough. Thank you sir/madam
mrsdowneyjr
Also he was the first to do some things and sweet and persistent
sarahjane138
What if Tony Hawk is how Jesus came back? We are all one.

You'd think people would be smart enough to know it's him...it's one thing to look like him but to be the same height??
IupvoteAussies
Out of curiosity, who here can say without checking how tall Tony Hawk is?
FierceAndAdorable
People are sometimes hard to recognize out of context.

Fuck, I've met so many famous people in Mississippi (of all places) and it wasn't until about the 10th I realized I wasn't meeting

Doppelgangers. No, I'm not slow, I just really didn't expect people to keep coming here. Vacations, making movies, concerts, second homes,

They're all over the place here. Just hanging out. It's like finding Waldo. You don't expect him because you're not looking.
NotAPervert
There’s roughly 7.8 billion people. Would you honestly believe you got to meet the real one, or just someone who “looks like” him?

That anyone is famous lol

Esp. on vacation! My buddy was somewhere in the US visiting a friend and Jack black was bowling in the lane next to him. I would never assum
