![]() Sam Jones’ Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off is ostensibly a documentary about the world’s greatest skateboarder, but it’s also, perhaps unintentionally, a look at Generation X’s unique inability (chillingly, even worse than Boomers) to admit that they may be getting too old for some things. But the fact that you’ve heard of him, even if you wouldn’t know a quad deck from a cheese sandwich, speaks volumes about both his impact, and his role in bringing mainstream respect to a sport once dismissed as a pastime for bored kids and delinquents. Maybe you’ll know there’s a bunch of video games named for him, or that he appeared in a Police Academy movie. ![]() If you’re not a skateboarding fan, you’ll likely only be aware that Tony Hawk exists, rather than anything specific about his life or accomplishments. ![]()
