I love that this reads like a challenge with a $10k prize. Really feeds into the “nobody knows who Tony Hawk is IRL” lore. https://t.co/SYVPQdEwCJ

      If you manage to acknowledge that the person you’re meeting is Tony Hawk, you get $10k.

        I’m so cracked at this game. I once saw Tony Hawk in front of me in airport security and I recognized him by his skateboard and the back of his head. That $10k is mine!

          @hsdecktech Are you sure you would have recognized him without the skateboard? That's the tricky part.

            @Kurt50A You’re right, I had a big context clue. But two counterpoints: 1) I think the skateboard is an extension of his body; and 2) I now have practice, which puts me one up on most people.

              @hsdecktech Fair point on the second point, but counter argument on the first point, wouldn't the stories of not recognizing him not exist if the skateboard was a part of his body?

                @Kurt50A 🤔 fair, but that presupposes other people would recognize him with the skateboard. I’m not sure I accept that assumption. One of the famous examples of someone not recognizing him was the security guy at an airport, which would’ve been roughly my situation but with more info.

                  @hsdecktech Ah right. That is entirely fair. Well, good luck on getting your 10 grand.

      @hsdecktech Oh dang, that model looks a lot like Tony Hawk!

        @annafunk Lol, I love that twist on this game: turns out there’s also a bunch of Hawk imposters walking around to confuse people.
