Lil Nas X Cries Foul After Tony Hawk Skateboard Painted With His Blood Sells Out With No Outrage
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MSCHF / MSCHF Lil Nas X has an excellent case here when it comes to the outrage on the internet. In March, conservative snowflakes and so-called bible thumpers were up in arms when Lil Nas X announced he was teaming up with MSCHF for a pair of limited edition Nike Air Max 97 sneakers dubbed the “Satan Shoes,” that contained a drop of blood in the air unit. Nike would eventually take the openly gay artist and MSCHF to court, slapping them with a hypocritical lawsuit, and the judge sided with the sport’s apparel company forcing them to buy back all pairs of the kicks. At the time, everyone spotted the jig because MSCHF sold a pair of the same sneakers but in white, calling them the “Jesus Shoes” because they shared a drop of holy water in the air unit. Ther...
NGHTMRE is Hosting a Livestream Featuring Pro Skaters Tony Hawk and Elliot Sloan
NGHTMRE is getting ready to debut one of the most unique livestreams of the year. Midway through next week he will be airing a performance with Ghastly and Wavedash. While that’s an awesome lineup, you may be asking yourself, “What’s so special about three sets from these artists?” Well, they’re boardsliding their way into the world of professional skateboarding and performing while a number of skaters dazzle with tricks during their sets. They didn’t recruit just any skaters for the Insomniac-powered event, dubbed The Highlands. They’ve teamed up with the sport’s most notable figure, Tony Hawk, who will be joined on the ramp by NGHTMRE’s longtime friend and gold medalist Elliot Sloan, as well as Tom Schaar, Clay Kreiner, an...
Barney the Dinosaur Goes Street Metal in “Second Hand Misery” Video from Warish (Riley Hawk): Watch
Warish, the sludgy punk-metal act fronted by Riley Hawk, are gearing up to release their new album, Next to Pay, on April 30th. Now they’ve tapped Barney the Dinosaur to help promote the latest single, “S.H.M. (Second Hand Misery)”. The song’s music video syncs old VHS clips of the big purple dinosaur with the ferocious street metal of Warish, creating an absurdly hilarious combination. The lyrics to the song appear as subtitles so you can sing along with Barney, just like on the show. Riley, the song of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, explained, “This video came to mind when I heard the ‘If you’re happy and you know it’ song by Barney playing somewhere while I was in a bad mood and was thinking, this song is kinda evil sounding. Then I went home and instantly started editing the video to ...

Tony Hawk Teams Up with The Avalanches to Sell One-of-a-Kind X-Ray Vinyl for Charity
The skateboarding and electronic music crossover you didn’t you know you needed is here, thanks to Tony Hawk and electronic music outfit The Avalanches. The legendary skateboarder has joined forces with The Avalanches to launch a fundraiser for Hawk’s The Skatepark Project, which helps underserved communities create safe and inclusive public skateparks for young people. Following the release of their single “Reflecting Light,” the renowned duo teamed up with custom vinyl manufacturer Small Run to press a limited number of records onto X-ray film. “In a tribute to the ‘bone records’ of the 1950’s Soviet era, (where banned western records were cut onto X-Ray film and smuggled into the USSR to avoid authorities) we’ve come togeth...
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remaster Brings New Energy to Classic Games
With the remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 set to release on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on Sept. 4, skateboarding fans young and old are preparing to pick up the sticks once again to return to the iconic series. What was once considered a bit of a holy grail when it came to desired remasters — and an unlikely one due to how many songs would need to be licensed to replace the legendary soundtrack — is mere days away from reality after being in the works for years, and it’s no mere high definition re-skin of the 20-year-old classics. Filled with new skateboarders and features, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is more of a brand new game built around the core of the originals than a cheap glossy makeover (the latter of which already happened once with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD back in 2012)....
Original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Games Getting Re-Released for PS4, XBOX One, and PC
Whether you’re regular, goofy, or even a cop (we see you Officer Dick) get ready to drop back in to the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater universe. As THR reports, 1999’s Pro Skater and 2000’s Pro Skater 2 are being remastered with 4K HD graphics. The games will be available on PC, XBox One, and Playstation 4 starting on September 4th. The original Pro Skater titles represented a revolution in freewheeling gameplay, and as hard as it is to believe today, the graphics were top-of-the-line. The re-released games will feature the old familiar maps, as well as the same skaters, moves, gameplay modes, and best of all, the original soundtracks. But this isn’t just a new skin on an old structure; led by publisher Activision and developer Vicarious Visions, the updated Pro Skater gam...
