10 Things We Learned From Tony Hawk On The Joe Rogan Experience

10. Matt Tomasello Does Some Crazy Things On A Skateboard

Despite being completely upfront about competitive skating not exactly being his forte when it comes to sporting knowledge, Joe did actually bring up an aspect of skateboarding that even appeared to catch Hawk off guard with how niche it is.

After all, by his own admission Hawk is the only pro skater Joe knows by name, so it was pretty surprising when right at the start of the podcast Rogan starts talking about videos where skaters are riding boards that are different from a conventional skateboard allowing a whole new dimension of possibilities to be opened up.

One of the main proponents of this entirely innovative subgenre is Matt Tomasello, who has starred in several viral videos showcasing his skills on the bootleg boards. For those that haven't seen this style before, even if you aren't generally a fan of skateboarding it's definitely worth a watch for the sheer ingenuity at work in both creating, and riding, the contraptions.
