Speaker 1 (00:00):
On with Mario Lopez. Telly All Mario Lopez join me
now on Zoom Skateboard and Hall of Famer The Man
Tony Hawk.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome back, buddy. How you been? Thanks good? Thank you?
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm well, I'm well. Thanks for taking the time. It's
always great to see you. Just announced today your new
collab with Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Tell me about this partnership.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well, I wanted to tell people how good the ice
coffee at home is from Starbucks. And so you always
see me doing stuff that's like, don't try this at home. Well,
this is something you can actually try at home. And
I have my own difficult version of doing it, but
you can see that online.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Dude, I drink a Ventie ice coffee every day, and
so now you're telling me I can try it at
home and do because because yeah, ice coffee is a
difficult day.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So how do you do it? Well, either through.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Cake they have ca cups or concentrate and my favorite
is the Signature black ice Coffee blend, but they also
have vanilla and other flavors and and you can actually
make I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Most people don't buy ice coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Most people don't make ice coffee at home because they
think it's better when they get it from a cafe,
but this actually tastes like cafe style.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, I'm ana tray hold. I'm gonna trust you in that.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Are you a coldbrew guy? Colber black ice black, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay, me too, Although I do sometimes like a like
a smidge of non fat. I don't know why. It's
like a little like a little smidge and uh and
I'll do a splendor.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's my move.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Right there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I hit the fifth level they have.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
They have the creamers too, They got the creamers. Okay,
you can get all hooked up right there. I hit
the fifth level recently, fifty years old, and I'm trying
to dial it back a little bit with the training
and adjust because these injuries, man start piling up and
it's getting harder, and you seem to still be going
full throttle or have you chill out a little bit?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh that's a hard question to answer. I went through
a pretty bad injury a couple.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Of years ago. I broke my femur. Oh well, into
my fifties, and you broke it. You broke it in
your fifties. Yeah, Oh, that's get to normally what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I was just skating and skating my ramp doing a
MC twist like I do I've been doing for forty years,
and I after around have found out because I didn't
have enough speed and thought I was still, you know,
young enough to pull out of it, and it didn't work.
But I think that was that was my super hard
reality check. Since then, Yeah, since then, I've been really
(02:32):
way more into working out, training, stretching, Like I.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Didn't do any of that stuff all through the years.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And now I'm I'm way more disciplined and I'm actually
skating better than I was kind of before I got hurt.
But I feel my mortality and I feel like I
know I got to work at this.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I'm gonna keep doing it at my age. But hey,
welcome to the fifty club. Yeah, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And likewise, you know, I I now go early when
I'm going to train and stretch and warm up.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Same thing.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I should just get in here, started doing stuff and now, yeah,
you got it. You gotta be smarter about it. Hey,
what do you what do you think about that Australian
teenager who landed that nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Behind my computer right now is my ramp and she's
on it right now.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I just went out there to ask her what she's
going to do with that skateboard because I want to go.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I want to buy it from her. Dude, that's awesome.
Are you still in San Diego? Yeah? Oh, that's awesome.
That's I like, you're from the Palway area. What are
you again?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I grew up in Tira, Santa Tierra, and then my
parents moved to North County when I was in high
school and I've been here ever since. That's to answer
a question, Arissa. I mean, she's really phenomenal, not just
from nine hundred, but just in terms of her her trajectory.
I mean she's learning tricks. I mean I just saw
her do two new tricks just now that are save
(03:58):
for only the most veteran vert skate She's just thrown
him out there easily.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Dude. That's so impressive. That's awesome.

you keeping an eye on and outside of the Americans,
who really brings it?

I mean, there's Japanese skaters that are just killing her
right now, especially like Utah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):

him coming through all the qualifying and everything and he
just won the last qualifying. He's from the US, he's
actually from our area, and I mean, in full disclosure,
I sponsor him, but there's a reason for that.
