Tony Hawk's Trick Tips, Vol. 2: Essentials of Street is a good sequel to Tony Hawk's Skateboarding Basics, with more advanced tricks that pick up where the first video left off. In the street section, featured tricks include the feeble grind, 360 flip, and hardflip, with help from the infamous Eric Koston, the 2000-2001 street skateboarder of the year and the X- games street gold-medalist. In the vert section, Hawk demonstrates ramp tricks like the 5-0 grind, frontside ollie, and backside disaster, with help from pro skater Colin McKay and Hawk's young son, Riley. Each pro skater has an animated portrait that randomly pops in and out of the screen, sometimes to give helpful bits of information or comments. But a little of this goes a long way, and it tends to be overused. --Neal Marks

5.0 out of 5 stars Tony Hawk Rooolz!, October 28, 2001

I'm an old skool dawg who skated nothing but Tony Hawk decks back in the day, so any DVD with Tony on it is a MUST-HAVE! As for the content, there are 21 tricks in all. Rail tricks include: feeble grind, frontside smith grind, frontside boardslide, backside lipslide, frontside noseslide. Flipping tricks include: backside 180 kickflip, frontside 180 kickflip, varial kickflip, 360 flip, frontside 180 heelflip, backside 180 heelflip, varial heelflip, hardflip. Ramp tricks include: axle stall, 50-50 grind, pivot, 5-0 grind, frontside ollie, fakie disaster, frontside disaster, backside disaster.

As for the format, the DVD is set up much like Vol. 1. Chapter advance on your remote will bring you straight to the next trick. There are sub-menus to help you navigate as well. In my opinion, Eric Koston is a great sk8er, but his comedy needs MUCH work. His antics get to be really annoying after a while. Now the StyLiN' tips by Colin McKay was funny! Colin basically teaches you how to be a poser heheh. Tony's son Riley is in the video; he helps demonstrate the frontside ollie on the ramp. And what a ramp!!! Bob Burnquist's private backyard half-pipe/bowl hybrid thang.

Get this DVD and be amazed how someone 6'3" with size 13 shoes can manipulate a skateboard. Ok, so Tony can't do the backside 180 heelflip... or can he??? Just watch the credits and cheer!!! Yay!!!
