- tedjar, on 03/26/2008, -2/+77I wouldn't even get down the ramp without breaking my neck...
- AmICoolNow, on 03/26/2008, -3/+55Dugg for the bad pun in the title.

2:35 seconds in that video. Switch loop with an 8 foot gap in it. - Antibland, on 03/26/2008, -3/+52Since when did Tony Hawk start looking like an athletic Bill Gates?
- ritzcracker, on 03/26/2008, -4/+50Definitely not as easy as it looks.
- snowcrazy, on 03/26/2008, -3/+38These guys have some HUGE stones to try that...even with the pads!
- DuxBelorum, on 03/26/2008, -1/+28Except it doesn't look easy.
- TAWS, on 03/26/2008, -0/+25I wanted to see Tony do the loop
- chungmaster, on 03/26/2008, -0/+22Thank you. I did not notice that.
- screwthename, on 03/26/2008, -0/+21Nice protection. No wonder most great skaters are still in one piece.
- prestige, on 03/26/2008, -4/+21Seriously, just how cool is Tony Hawks. To me he is one of those rare celebrities who have done well for themselves without selling out or loosing touch with his love for his sport.
- Jokermx, on 03/26/2008, -1/+16More like "Tony Hawk invites skaters to their deaths"
And I wonder how it would be to be his neighbor.... I'm too much of a dreamer. - BlueStreak69, on 03/26/2008, -1/+14Same but unfortunately he's aging.
- badwithcomputer, on 03/26/2008, -1/+14ouch....i know for a fact the dude reads EVERYTHING posted on his submissions on shred or die- even responds to any messages you send to his account. i really hope he's not browsing digg. that's brutal. still dug you up because it's kinda true.
- alteregowi, on 03/26/2008, -1/+13i remember watching Bam Margera and Tony Hawk doing the loop on Bams Show on MTV tony wore a Chicken Suit and they jumped into a lake off it. wonder if tony stores this loop at his warehouse?
- WWWoody, on 03/26/2008, -0/+12No man, you're hardcore! You're so hardcore you ***** volcom *****.
- AceyS, on 03/26/2008, -0/+10Exactly.
- RonnyIsRondo, on 03/26/2008, -0/+9Well since Matt Hoffman is the one who rides bikes... I wonder who it was?
- WoollyMittens, on 03/26/2008, -0/+9There's more than one?
- lohphat, on 03/26/2008, -0/+9OK, ever notice that the majority of roller-coaster loops are teardrop shaped? It’s for a reason. Circular loops require a much higher entry speed to maintain downforce.

- digdugdog, on 03/26/2008, -1/+7Bail.
- d0onut, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Fakie?
- RadiatedAnt, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6hawk jr
- jbarket, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5He has since though. 13th skater and only street skater to complete it according to the interweb.
- wingo123, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5Hawk has been one of my heroes since the late '80s. Seems like a totally decent, regular dude, who has a genuine respect for the sport and the community. Plus, he's one of the most legendary skaters of all time.
Awesome. - Search153, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5You mean switch?
- d0onut, on 03/26/2008, -2/+6Wow. Seriously? It says in the beginning of the video. "Think About the Dream" by Irradio.
- dkkaple, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5Correction: When did Bill Gates start to look like a weeny Tony Hawk?
- mptsxtps, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5Holy ***** I am buddies with Josh and had no idea he did this! 14th and 15th skaters huh? That's impressive
- Sokkratez, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4Somebody rode a bike through it, too. May have been Tony, or Hoffman. Can't remember.
- eschompthis, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3shut up you ***** bore, i bet u have no adrenaline in your body to get off the keyboard and do something outside
- Asidic, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4I wonder if he'll let us longboarders take it for a spin as well.
- 1iProd, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3Which way do eyes go in the first place??
- schmitey, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3It looks like the guys that made it stayed the most rigid. The guys that fell bent their knees and absorbed energy/momentum...which makes sense. Very cool!
- tuh2, on 03/26/2008, -6/+9I cant skate but I would try it with the pads. Looks pretty fun.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2I could do it on lollerskates.
- borez, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Tony...pulling it off
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DqZ15mlXj0A - cawpin, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2I'd try it on rollerblades, not on a skateboard though. If I don't make it around I don't need shrapnel coming at me too.
- PooderKing, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Sweet Moses...
- Peko, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Quick! To the Romero-mobile!
- galen, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2you probably wouldn't make it down the ramp
- DemDude, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Saying it like this really makes it seem much nicer. =)
Also, Bill Gates is now cool, and has been ever since his goodbye Microsoft video made it to the internet =D - willster580, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Captain Obvious.. TO THE RESCUE!!
- wingo123, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Rock and/or Roll. I love this *****.
- junkwheel, on 03/26/2008, -0/+214th and 15th skaters in history to complete the loop?
Nah, it's obviously super easy. I think I'd be able to do it sat down. - navvvv, on 03/26/2008, -1/+31 - Duane Peter (back in 79)
2- Tony Hawk
3- Bob Burnquist
4- Peter Hewitt
5- Jeff Grosso
6- Bam Margera
Not sure on the rest.
I'd wager the following:
Andy McDonald, Sandro Diaz, Omar Hassan, Mark Scott, - SpikeTheSenses, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3don't forget the fact that Bam never made it through.
- barroni, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3I wasted my life chasing the I.T dream . I could have been a sk8ta
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Sounds like him to TBH
