Tony Hawk's Secret Skatepark Tour 2003, August 6, 2004
This review is from: Tony Hawk's Secret Skatepark Tour (DVD)
A much different take on the whole tour thing. It shows that these guys are in it primarily for the love of the sport. For example, they stop to skate a full-pipe they randomly spot sticking out of the middle of nowhere. There aren't any other skaters there, just them in this huge dirty pipe not even made for skating.
A big plus is Rodney Mullen, inventor of the kickflip and the heelflip and just about everything else heh. And, we get to see Tony's son Riley more heavily featured than ever before; the little guy throws down double kickflips like they were nothing! There's a menu of extras to explore. Some of the funny ones include Kerry Getz and his tantrum induced shoe-beating/board-smashing breakdowns, and also former pro Jeff Petit who can land stuff every once in a while, but it's way more funny when he doesn't.
Tony gets really worked on this tour. He breaks his ankle and suffers a nasty 12" laceration to the shin, but then he keeps on skating of course. Hey, if you ever wanted to see Tony's fresh tibia, now's your chance! I really enjoyed this video and I hope Tony stays healthy, keeps touring, and never stops making these great DVDs.

All the unique styles of all the big names on one DVD!!, July 19, 2004
This review is from: Tony Hawk's Secret Skatepark Tour (DVD)
Whether you're a serious skater yourself or just a casual fan of the sport, this film is exceptional and certain to please. While the footage is predominantly skating, you still manage to sense the real human element of these guys. Tony Hawk is his charming self, Rodney Mullen's tech skills are mind-boggling, Ryan Sheckler proves himself well and truly, Bam Margera stops being an MTV prat, Kerry Getz throws more stuff around... This is right up there with the best skate films I've seen and I wouldn't've complained a bit if it'd been twice as long as it was. There's just something different about it. It was without doubt worth every penny I paid.

I purchased this product for my son's birthday. He was thrilled with the dvd and watched it many times, in fact is still watching it almost every day. I will not hesitate to purchase similar products in the future.
