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.

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.

In the tradition of the previous skatepark tours, you get to see what happens when some of the top riders in the world get out and skate some of the best parks in the States. This one is much less formal and more raw than the demo-oriented skatepark tours. Just seeing Tony split his shin open and Mullen being his normal insanely technical self is worth the price of admission. Still for me the biggest surprise was seeing old high school classmate Jeff Petit going all out in a slamfest montage. Inspirational! My only gripe is that I didn't want it do end so soon.

I origanally bought this movie, because Rodney Mullen was in it. But after i saw this video I was glad i chose it. It introduced me to some awesome skater's like AleX chlamers, and donny barely. Rodney mullen does increadable handstand flips to primo to like a weird backside triple primo flip thing. The extra's are great to. And an added bonus Tony Hawk skweeks when he says destryod. Awesome Movie, still could of used more mullen though.

The best part of this DVD as opposed to the Gigantic Skatepark Tour videos is that it is pure and simple skating without the demo atmosphere. There is more skating involved than before and less banter. I loke the banter, but this shows the guys doing what they love, more than what they have to do.

This is one of the better skate vids, and I got a crap load of em'.
Many skaters. Many parks. Many styles. Old school/New school. They
even throw a bmx guy into the mix. Tony Hawk injures himself.You can
see a bone sticking out. He tapes it up and continues skating!!!

A great skate video all around! Top knotch pro's, excellent skating, and a great video to add to the collection! Don't forget Tony Hawks Secret Skatepark Tours 2 & 3

It's great to see all these guy's together again. Not as indepth as the Gigantic dvd's but fun none the less. I am a huge fan of the past few Skatepark Tour dvd's and this one is just all to short. Not that much "on the bus" footage and the coverage at each park could be longer. Overall if your a fan it's a must have! I can't weait to see what's next?
