You already know the legends of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 roster — from Elissa Steamer to the Birdman himself, these extreme athletes defined an era of skateboarding.

Since then, those legends inspired the “next generation" of skaters, who would go on to expand the skateboarding community to a more global and connected scale, dominate the competition medal boards, and find a seat next to the O.G.’s as faces of the sport itself.

With the launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, Vicarious Visions are now bringing the past, present, and future of skateboarding together with eight additional skaters joining the lineup of OGs in this epic remaster.

These eight skaters — Lizzie Armanto, Leo Baker, Leticia Bufoni, Riley Hawk, Nyjah Huston, Tyshawn Jones, Aori Nishimura, and Shane O’Neill — will skate alongside the legendary roster of pros from 1999 and 2000 in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 and represent just a few of the latest shining stars in the sport today.

Just like the original pros, all eight of these skaters come with their own style, stats, and signature tricks to represent the strengths and accomplishments of their young careers.

Very cool to see the Tony Hawk franchise show some love to the modern generation of skating, and to also make sure that the gender split is 50/50, men and women!

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 lands an ollie on September 4, 2020, with a demo hitting on August 14, 2020.
