  • I would say if Activision maybe had called me a month or two later, I might have already inked a deal.
  • They offered me a buyout of future royalties right before the game launched.
  • But I didn't and that was definitely the best financial decision of my life.
  • A billion dollars they generated in sales.
  • To have that kind of success, especially in video games, is reserved for someone like Natalie.
  • And at this time you've got this deal with Activision bubbling away.
  • At that time we had been working on a video game for about a year and a half.
  • So there was definitely a crazy synergy, perfect storm in that moment because I did that trick that drew a lot of attention to obviously me, but not just me, but skateboarding in general and the X Games.
  • And then that was in June and then we released what became Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in September.
  • Wow.
  • And I was watching the video of you saying that you called the guy at Activision to ask him to include the 900 trick.
  • Neversoft, yeah.
  • I emailed him.
  • Yeah, that's a good story.
  • I emailed Neversoft the next day and I said, hey, I did this thing and I think that people are going to expect to see it in the game now.
  • And I know we didn't animate a 900, but I feel like if you guys have time to squeeze it in.
  • And we were already in beta with the game, which meant that we were going to submit it to the console manufacturers.
  • And once you do that, you cannot edit it.
  • You can't alter it.
  • And I remember Joel, who was the head of Neversoft, he emailed me back right away and he said, way ahead of you, you f***ing rule.
  • And then they got it in.
  • I mean, and the rest is history, right?
  • I guess.
  • I like to think I'm still creating it.
  • You know, your father, Frank, he'd been such a huge supporter of you up until that point, but he didn't get to live to see all of this stuff after you were sort of 27, 28 years old, right?
  • No, he saw the first X Games.
  • And to him, that was as big as things could ever get because he was a big sports fan.
  • Not just, you know, obviously he loved skateboarding, but he also loved team sports.
  • And for him to see skateboarding on the sports network, that was for him, the coming of age.
  • I bet he couldn't have imagined what would happen.
  • No, I mean, and to think that it's gone on to be such a beloved sport internationally and in the Olympics.
  • I mean, all that is just beyond what he would have imagined.
  • Has it ever crossed your mind, have you ever wished that he could have seen what would happen with your career professionally, but also in business?
  • I think I'd rather wish for him to see the rise of skateboarding in general because he was so integral in keeping it alive at a time when it was struggling through sanctioning events.
  • So, I mean, sure, my own success, yeah, but I do feel like on a bigger scale, in more lofty terms, just the success of skateboarding is something that he would have been very proud of.
  • That video game deal, we all get emails and these emails often contain opportunities.
  • And sometimes we look at these emails, we're trying to figure out if it's an opportunity or not.
  • Sometimes it looks like an opportunity.
  • Sometimes it's a waste of time.
  • Sometimes it's just someone wanting a meeting to pick your brain about something.
  • As you reflect on your decision now, in hindsight, to proceed with that video game, was there any close calls?
  • There was another group doing a game that had contacted me and I went down the road with them a little bit and realized that what they were trying to do was so much more
  • I don't know how to explain it.
  • It was more technically difficult to play because they were trying to truly emulate skating.
  • And I felt like I understood that approach.
  • But at the same time, skating wasn't that big when we released this game or when we were going to release this game.
  • And I wanted something that would be more friendly to the non-skater to play, to understand, to be able to just pick up and start doing tricks.
  • And when I saw what Activision had, they had a very early version of a skater doing tricks, the way it moved.
  • And to me, it was intuitive.
  • It was perfect.
  • It was like right away I started playing it.
  • I started doing tricks.
  • It was almost like it was an extension of my body to start doing this on that screen with that skater.
  • And it's something innately felt right about it to me.
  • And so, uh, was there a close call?
  • I would say if Activision maybe had called me a month or two later, I might've already inked a deal.
  • So, um, but I felt very lucky on the commercial front.
  • I read that you'd been offered a kind of a flat check.
  • It, well, when they were close to launch of the game, they started to sense that there was buzz about it.
  • It was already getting good reviews from, from previews of, of the, the game publishers.
  • I mean, not the, the magazine publishers.
  • So they knew they had a good game overall and they felt this, this surge of interest.
  • And so they offered me a buyout of future royalties right before the game launched.
  • Um, which at the time it was, they offered me a half a million dollars and they said, you know, well, actually, what does that mean?
  • And they said, well, that that's, you get that right now.
  • And then no money going forward.
  • And for me, having lived through some really lean times when they say a half a million dollars, to me, it sounds like a billion gazillion dollars.
  • I mean, it wouldn't, no one had ever spoken those types of numbers to me before.
  • Um, but I felt like I was in a pretty good place.
  • I was, I was doing well in other ways.
  • I was, I was still skating a lot.
  • I was doing events.
  • I was, um, I had good endorsements.
  • I was, I was doing, we had birdhouse was starting to actually be profitable.
  • My skate company.
  • And I had just bought a new house with a, with a, not, you know, I had a loan, but my loan was manageable.
  • And I thought I'm going to take a risk cause I'm doing okay.
  • And I don't need that money right now.
  • And even the timing of that, like if it had been just a few months before that, when I was looking at houses, maybe I would have taken that.
  • Um, but I, I didn't.
  • And that was definitely the best financial decision of my life.
  • Because that game was a success to say that one's after it and the ones after it.
  • Yeah.
  • How, how, how does one that might not understand the scale of that success quantify in a dollar amount?
  • How many, how much revenue Tony Hawk pro skater generated in its, in its legacy?
  • I, I mean, I know that they, they talk about a billion dollars for Activision.
  • Um, you know, my take is not that grandiose, but I am never going to complain.
  • It changed my life completely.
  • A billion dollars.
  • They, they generated in sales that, that was, that was always there.
  • They're a big buzz.
  • Yes.
  • So much.
  • I mean, so much happens, obviously that, that makes you financially free, um, for, you know, but also you'll, you become like the Michael Jordan of, of skating.
  • You are, you know, I, I was playing you on my video game on the other side of the world when I was, how old was I?
  • I'm going to say eight, roughly eight, you know, you, you become this global icon of a sport.
  • And it's funny because I didn't know skating before I knew the video game.
  • The video game was my way into, to even understanding that the sport existed and I would play with my brothers.
  • That's a, that's going from zero to a thousand in terms of notoriety.
  • Oh, for sure.
  • And, and, um, that was never lost on me.
  • I mean, I, I, I felt very lucky to have my name synonymous with a video game and with skateboarding, um, because I had devoted my life to it.
  • Were you prepared for that?
  • No, no.
  • I, how could you prepare for anything like that?
  • There's no way.
  • I mean, it, it's, it, to have that kind of success, especially in video games is reserved for someone like Madden or call of duty or grand theft auto.
  • I mean, it's, you know, to, to have be your name was wild.
  • And, and nowadays, I mean, we've come a long way.
  • We did a remaster a couple of years ago.
  • There is a whole generation of, of kids.
  • I'm not kidding that have asked me if I was named after a video game.
  • What'd you tell them?
  • Sure.
