Tony Hawk at Cracker Barrel

[_Wes_]

Well the title says it all... Really random Sunday at Cracker Barrel.

Tony and the posse.

Got his autograph.

Nothing great, but I thought it was pretty random for North Carolina.

That's cool!

Must have been in Greenville. Yeah, that would have been really random to see.

Man that`s too AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one of his old vintage 80`s t-shirts with the bird skull/German cross logo :^)

Funny, I just watched a new episode of Tim Allen's new show "Last Man Standing" and Tony Hawk had a cameo appearance at the end.

I can still remember him coming to my local indoor skatepark in the early 90's and just literally flew around the ramps doing transfers and gaps that none of us even considered possible... Tail taps off the roof in the large 1/2 pipe were also mind blowing... Cool guy too, made lots of time after for autographs and stuff.

I do recall that this is the fine gentleman who rode his skateboard down the halls of the people's house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Not impressed.

Skateboards will have parts availability until the sun runs out of hydrogen.

Nope. I had motorized transportation starting @ 9 yrs old.

I did go to HS with RR and Dale Evans grandkids though.

Maybe he wanted some good southern food!... Or possibly wanted to go somewhere older people frequent to avoid fans???...

I'm only 25 and I go there all the time. Seems like the majority of people in there aren't too young, atleast at the one I go to.

At _Wes_: I assumed this was in Greenville.

No, it was actually in Fayetteville. But, I see why you would guess that, if I didn't know, I'd say G-Vegas as well.

I graduated from ECU, used to see a couple BMX stars up there (Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist, etc).
