Guy Performs Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Tricks in Real Life

Growing up, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 was one of my favorite games. The soundtrack, the frantic pace, and the ridiculous ragdolly special moves made it a joy to play—although I chalked that last bit up as video game magic that no actual skateboarder could ever pull off.
