Part 2 of The Program video project with TransWorld Skateboarding. Tony Hawk and Christian Hosoi get in the session with Kyle Leeper, Justin Brock, David Clark, Austyn Gillette, and Omar Hassan in this second video. Click here to watch Part 1 if you missed it.
Today is the day, TONY HAWK: RIDE is officially in stores and available to buy! Since you’re already online, save yourself some time and click here to order the game and get your own. You can be playing the Quiksilver 80’s level as Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, and Alex Olson by the weekend.
Reese Forbes, Christian Hosoi, and a few of us spent the last two days at the Crossroads Retail Show in Carlsbad, CA. This is a great event designed specifically for skate brands and skate shops. All in all it was a great time. We met a bunch of retailers, hosted a poker game with Thrasher Magazine (Hosoi won), watched a crazy contest, and sweated way more than anybody should. Thanks to the Crossroads guys for putting on a great trade show, and thanks to all the shops that came out.
Get ready for a little something extra in the new Tony Hawk: RIDE. Quiksilver teamed up with the guys at Activision to take the new game back a couple decades and put the 80’s level together. Plus, as a bonus we got the original 80’s legend Christian Hosoi in the game! Tony’s been in it since the 80’s, Hosoi’s been in it since the 80’s, Quiksilver’s been in it since way before the 80’s… so the 80’s level was a no-brainer. Cut the sleeves and neck off your tee and make it a vert shirt cause you’ll be able to do 80’s tricks made especially for this level. And, you’ll be wearing Tony Hawk and Christian Hosoi’s classic 80’s style while you bust out those Christ Airs and Finger Flips. Check out the pictures below for a preview of the Quiksilver 80’s level in the new Tony Hawk: RIDE. As a bonus for pre-ordering the game, you will receive the unlock code for the Quiksilver All 80’s All Day vert challenge level in TH: RIDE when you pre order from now until November 17th at GameStop.

Tony Hawk is the perfect example of creativity and innovation in skateboarding. And as long as the Tony Hawk video games have been around, you can see the same qualities in the riders featured in each game. So for the new game it’s only fitting to see the addition of Alex Olson. Alex is known for taking a spot and making it his own. He’s not the loudest guy at the spot, showing up and making a scene. But when he gets on his board you can’t miss him. With unique lines and style that can’t be matched, Alex just made this game a lot more fun. But don’t get too excited to turn on the game and back smith like the man himself. He’s a secret character in the game so you gotta’ work to unlock him.
The new Tony Hawk: RIDE is getting a lot of attention because of it’s game play and board. But don’t overlook the fact that Tony snuck one of skateboardings greatest into the game – Christian Hosoi. Christian is one of the driving forces in the 80’s that made skateboarding what it is today. So, you can’t have a Quiksilver 80’s level without being able to play as Hosoi. Get ready to go back in time and re-create some of the epic battles between Tony Hawk and Christian Hosoi.
