On Oct. 30, 2019, Tony shared a story on Twitter about an encounter with a kid at the skatepark. According to Tony, the kid was practicing already when he showed up. The kid asked if he was a good skater. Tony, who is literally one of the greatest pro-skaters of all time, answered that he was “sometimes” a good skater. The kid asked a few more questions before Tony wanted to know the child’s name. “I asked him his name, and he said Irving,” Tony explained in the tweet. “I told him my name is Tony, to which he replied sarcastically ‘like Tony Hawk haha.’ and then he left.”
