Tony Hawk Embraces the Pain While Eating Spicy Wings

Tony Hawk is the consigliere of skateboarding and an icon of pop culture. He's got more than a dozen X-Games medals, was named the top vert skater every year from 1984 to 1996, and boasts one of the most commercially and critically successful video-game franchises of all time, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But how is he with spicy food? Find out as The Birdman makes his triumphant return to Hot Ones and takes on not only the wings of death, but also the brand-new Hot Ones Hot Pockets—now available nationwide. Along the way, he discusses the evolution of skate slang, tales from the grommet come-up, and the Space Jam follow-up that almost was.
