Does anyone else wanna play Tony Hawks Underground 1 and 2???
Love this one!
What are the timestamps for Harry’s freestyles?
Tony hawks hawk named tony
Great. Not 2 minutes in and I'm already hearing the inclusive and equity bullshit…f off with the communist bs.
you must get a young guy named Andy Anderson on flowstate. Some of his most viral appearances are him skating in – ba da da daaa ? – venice ! 😉 He's almost as good in creating crowds with skateboarding, as you are through freestyle rap. this episode was already a childhooddream but andy would be a perfect match with flowstate
Tony Hawk once had Lil Wayne on his podcast. Would be cool to see this collab
You couldv'e given me 200 guesses and I still wouldn't have guessed Tony Hawk as a pod guest! Crazy.
LEGENDARY!!!
Tony hawk in the building net 2 harry mack pffffff
Tony might just be the most genuine and down to earth celebrity ever. And harry, don’t even get me started. Man’s so underrated it’s actually insane. Also very down to earth and seems like a very real dude. Love to see this collab????
do you, or do you not ,have a fanny pack and a bose speaker?
no way this boomer can skate
he listens solely to ace of spades.
Tony is like the CEO of skateboarding
This freestyle brought some of the best out in Harry! Since he brought is A-game to impress the legend Tony, and Tony chose some great words that had depth and connectivity from the prior conversation between him and Harry. Not to mention the excellent switch-up of beats during the freestyle. The combination was epic and appropriate for the occasion! Well done everyone.
One hell of an inteview. Good stuff man. What a legend.
We need a new Tony Hawks game!
That's the best freestyle yet Harry. No doubt. Masterful.
That was such a great interview
Fucking love you both
What a great ending
i only play tony hawks games, the EA skate games are not my bag baby… hawk the goat 99.9
tony is goated in doing this with harry mack
huuuuge guest! dope pod
40:16 funny thing is, Andy Anderson also did this, recently released in his new video part and ironically enough, it was on Tony's halfpipe ????
That was A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!! ❤????
You should have Andy Anderson on
Episode should be called GOATED.. like GOD DAMN that freestyle man.. took me back to the 90s playing that game
. Well done GOAT
Harry Mack and Big L rap battle. What happens?
Harry mack the Goat ????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Seeing Tony Hawk land the 900 in the X Games changed the course of my life for the following 7.5 years. I was immediately taken by skateboarding, and skated almost everyday during that time period.
That was a great interview and loved the freestyle
That ending freestyle was absolutely PHENOMENAL ????????????
Harry is so fucking good at interviewing man damn I’m honestly impressed. I guess it makes sense since he’s a word master but he’s very good at coming up with interesting and new questions.
been watching your vida for a while. being a drummer as well, it would be cool to see you play the drums and rap to your own beat. what do you think?
Tony hawks trip tip videos taught me how to heel flip ❤
ppl dont understand half of these bars cuz they havent played the games
The quality of guests and conversations on this pod are top tier
WOW Holy Shit Dude! haha Harry kicked it up to 200 for the Bird man! We All Felt that one! Hell Yes Dude ????????????
Nintendo 64 on the 4 count hits hard
Your videos have 1% of the views that they deserve
Awesome!!!!
Wow Harry, you interviewed Tony fucking hawk ❤️
probably the most humble goats of all time????❤
Cant belive you got jason ellis
Holy shit!!!
The only part I think you meant to say was the kid who did 3 900s in a row on the free rather then 3 kf in a row but you could tell tony thought that
Love how Harry incorporated the comparison of the Playstation and 64 versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in the freestyle. How the music had to be compressed and even cut short I believe. Then goes into the cartridge bar, a perfect freestyle! Enjoyed the whole interview as well
Bruh, that freestyle was Legend!!
