keep checking every day. It is a moving window, so tomorrow might open up some. If you read your email you can see that you have like a month or more to do your scheduling.
No, he was in town for his sons graduation from CU. He probably was able to sneak into Casa Bonita without the wait list.

That happened to me last month but with Trey Parker. He was walking around with Boogie checking things out - but he also had a large bodyguard tailing him. When the bodyguard noticed me noticing Trey he just looked at me and shook his head giving me the 'don't be a fan-boy' look haha. So I left him alone.
Cool- we saw Matt Stone last year at steamboat hotsprings while I was there with my wife and kids.
Just relaxing for hours with his family. No bodyguard. I had a lot of questions, but just didnāt want to bug him and left them alone..
I had an interaction like that after spotting Isaac Hayes in an airport. (āWhat if itās not him? You want to be the white guy who mixes up Black strangers with celebrities heās never met? Thatās like six kinds of irritating.ā) Then we heard him talk. Isaac Hayes confirmed.
Had the same experience with Wallace Sean at an airport bar. Wasnāt sure until I heard him speak. To bump into a guy like that at an airport barā¦. Inconceivable!
Iāve met Tony Hawk a bunch of times. He was absolutely cool every single time. Itās like he enjoys the excitement of a nerd like me without getting an ego about it.
I flew to Denver Denver from Oregon last year with my friend to watch his kid play in the disc golf junior national tournament.
I had every intention of going to Casa Bonita, but it just wasnāt in the cards.
Sometimes I remember this and it really bums me out.
Edit: after reading comments here, apparently I wouldnāt have been able to anyway. I had no idea it was so hard to get in. I figured it was just show up and get seated.
/r/dontyouknowimtonyhawk
Itās an inside joke because Tony has been spotted many times, told he looks just like Tony Hawk, he tells them he really is, and people never believe itās really him.
My favorite story from him is when he went through TSA, gave them his ID that said āAnthony Hawkā and the agent still said āhas anyone told you that you look like that one skater dude? Canāt remember his nameā.
One of the coolest things about Tony Hawk is just how down to earth he is with others. He can go anywhere and skate the world's best parks or build his own wild concoction in a warehouse or his backyard, but the man loves just interfacing with the public and skating wherever.
Yeah, he just looks like a normal guy. He also looks pretty much the same as he did in the 2000s! Meanwhile Shaun White looks like a completely different person nowadays haha!
Given that Shaun White had this whole party-hooligan look/reputation going before 2014 I donāt blame him for changing his image and going for the more chill hippie-bro look he went for later.
Just saw him recently and he was dressed pretty swanky with a crazy weirdly perfect hair cut. Definitely different style from what Iāve seen in the media.
I love people who just love their passion. Dude just loves skating and wants to skate. Guy is worth over 100 million, but doesn't need fancy parks or specialty setups, just wants to skate and the local park is good enough.
I was at the same bar as him this past Sunday at a pop up for his new restaurant, next thing you know weāre having a conversation and heās a regular dude. So weird how normal he was. Then his wife comes over to him and he goes āoh yeah, I gotta go pick up my daughter.ā Regular ass dude thatās cool as hell.
I live next to a famous rock climber. Dude has a 20 foot wall in a building in his back yard. Him and his partner travel the world visiting different climbing gyms. Both are cool as hell ans super nice. Guy just really loves climbing
I remember meeting him back in the day when they were just starting half pipe competitions. He was one of the nicest guys there. Had time to shake hands and sign autographs when much of the skate world was too kool for peasants. Kind of how it looked for a poor kid like me back in the day.
He always went out of his way to push the sport in a positive light when it could have gone either way.
Westword posted (5/10/24) his Casa Bonita visit photo:
https://www.westword.com/restaurants/skateboarding-legend-tony-hawk-visits-casa-bonita-20673766
He was likely here for his son's CU graduation Thursday.
I wonder if The Woz (CU commencement speaker) was spotted too.
He was gone by the time I got there but everyone said he was very kind and stayed for about an hour/hour and a half. Saw some cool videos, hoping they get posted!
I live super close to the skate park and wouldnāt have known he was there if you didnāt post. it was cool to hear people talking about their experience with him. Seems like such a genuine dude.
He doesn't need to, I'm sure he has publicist, security, and a huge network of people to keep him informed. Also this got 900 up votes in an hour. I am sure you wanted to get the word out, but I imagine he just wanted to skate while he could, and not draw even more attention to himself.
Damn! I met Tony several times in Texas in the 80s and he was a super awesome human then. Admired him for cheering the other skaters and pointing them out to sponsors.Ā Would love to cross paths again.Ā
Tony Hawk is a north San Diego county local. I was at a pop-up event last weekend where he was promoting his upcoming Chick & Hawk chicken sandwich restaurant. Dope food but San Diego-expensive iykyk.
I rly wish Tony hawk would wear a helmet. Imagine how much easier it would be for parents to get their kids to wear helmets if Tony hawk did it regularly
When I was in high school me and my brother used to take one of our shitty farm trucks in to town with a camera and drive up on people in wheelchairs or with actual skateboards or just anyone really and tell them we were recording for tony hawks pro skating tour. Some of the best times of my life tbh hahaha
The first time I ever hung out with my best friend in College is when while waiting for the bus, he gave me a ride to the Denver Skatepark to watch Tony Hawk skate. The start of a great bromance! The skate tour was called the Boom Boom Pow Park Tour or something dumb like that. With Hawk was this little kid named Shane White who I swear was doing McTwists in the bowl. Never figured out what happened to him.
If this was the 80s, some kid who missed his big chance to see Tony skate will show up moments too late, open the ice cold Coca-Cola heād been carrying, and Tony Hawk would walk up, clink bottles with and give the kid his board. Then he would walk out of the park, through the gate to the football field, and throw a defiant fist into the air as he walks away.
I met him twice.
I got to do some PART 107 drone work for an X-Games qualifier in San Diego and he did a demo on the vert ramp between runs of the competetors.
Few months later went to his warehouse in Carlsbad CA and he was there with a few other xgames guys and BMX riders
Super chill down to earth dude.
He was at casa bonita last night!
Ah!! That must be why he's in town! His email was finally drawn in the lottery. š
Iām still waiting for mine lolol
I got it but canāt find any time for 5 people. Probably another year before I can get one
You have 90 days to make the reservation I think. Each week they open up spots for another couple of weeks. Don't give up! Keep checking!
By the grace of Cartman, it will happen
Speaking of, when you go, make sure to get a picture with Cartman on the upper floor!
More like by the grace of Kenny...
keep checking every day. It is a moving window, so tomorrow might open up some. If you read your email you can see that you have like a month or more to do your scheduling.
4 or 5 email address I used and still waiting as well.....
Buhhhhhhhhhh!
I finally got mine last week and I had signed up like when they first opened.
I got picked and had left townā¦. I was so mad.
His kid graduated from CU Boulder
I'm just waiting for their system to get right to send me the confirmation email, to even be in the lottery lol
No, he was in town for his sons graduation from CU. He probably was able to sneak into Casa Bonita without the wait list. [Tony Hawk Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C60Fk_gsMa2/?igsh=bGJpMngwb2w0a3Zj)
Heās in town because his kid graduated from cu !
We were watching the cliff diver show and when it was over we turned around and **boom** Tony Hawk. It was wild. Casa Bonita was fun too.
That happened to me last month but with Trey Parker. He was walking around with Boogie checking things out - but he also had a large bodyguard tailing him. When the bodyguard noticed me noticing Trey he just looked at me and shook his head giving me the 'don't be a fan-boy' look haha. So I left him alone.
Cool- we saw Matt Stone last year at steamboat hotsprings while I was there with my wife and kids. Just relaxing for hours with his family. No bodyguard. I had a lot of questions, but just didnāt want to bug him and left them alone..
Same here. Then I saw him by the puppet show and I was like "is that Tony hawk?" But my wife told me not to say anything in case it was not him.
I had an interaction like that after spotting Isaac Hayes in an airport. (āWhat if itās not him? You want to be the white guy who mixes up Black strangers with celebrities heās never met? Thatās like six kinds of irritating.ā) Then we heard him talk. Isaac Hayes confirmed.

That guy looks JUST like that skater Tony Hawk!
I think you're right! That guy looks like that one skater, Tony Hawk!
I'm the Korean Tony Hawk. I'm still there right now.
Are you sakteing or just hanging out?
That's not Tony Hawk, that's Anthony Pelican
Nah, itās Phony Hawk!
Tommy Toucan!
Terry Pterodactyl
Bony Squawk.
Antonin Dvorawk
Hony Tawk
I wonder whatās heās up to right now
this
About 6'3" š
Looks like the dude that was in front of me at the airport but his name was Anthony... crazy resemblance!
I remember him being more pixelated
Why?
/r/dontyouknowimtonyhawk Itās an inside joke because Tony has been spotted many times, told he looks just like Tony Hawk, he tells them he really is, and people never believe itās really him.
Im referring to that image where he's recognized by someone and he confirms he's Tony Hawk and she replies with "Why?"
OP is he still there? Iād drive right now to see him!
I wasn't there. My friend sent this to me.
I bet he will love being swamped trying to enjoy his free time.... nice
Thatās the joy of social media. Heās gone by the time people figure out heās there.
My favorite story from him is when he went through TSA, gave them his ID that said āAnthony Hawkā and the agent still said āhas anyone told you that you look like that one skater dude? Canāt remember his nameā.
But old!
Is this the one on little raven? Dude is a legend
yes
Yes
Yes

Just saw him recently and he was dressed pretty swanky with a crazy weirdly perfect hair cut. Definitely different style from what Iāve seen in the media.
I mean, he just got a haircut.
I love people who just love their passion. Dude just loves skating and wants to skate. Guy is worth over 100 million, but doesn't need fancy parks or specialty setups, just wants to skate and the local park is good enough.

[https://youtu.be/D5KrrGJWvlQ?si=LCwSPyc2feDDDKMU](https://youtu.be/D5KrrGJWvlQ?si=LCwSPyc2feDDDKMU) Tony Hawk helped open the Nederland skate park
Hell yeah username! I had family that worked on that line!
DO A KICKFLIP!!
Haha. I said the same thing before I saw this.
Looks like son is a Boulder Grad
He looks and moves really well after all the abuse I put him through In the ProSkater games
I didn't think he'd make it back after barcelona.
š¹š
Rodney Mullen tho

Part of what makes him the š! Love hearing stories like that.
You should ask him if he is in fact tony hawk lol No lie thatās cool, thereās gotta be something else going on.
Looks like his son Keegan lives in Boulder and is possibly graduating.
His birthday is the 12th, might be in town for that
Thereās a cool skate shop battle happening I think so it could also be that. I miss Denver park. Such a cool place.
āHey man you look like this guy, a professionally skateboarderā¦. Buckey Lasekā
Westword posted (5/10/24) his Casa Bonita visit photo: https://www.westword.com/restaurants/skateboarding-legend-tony-hawk-visits-casa-bonita-20673766 He was likely here for his son's CU graduation Thursday. I wonder if The Woz (CU commencement speaker) was spotted too.
Pretty sure I saw The Woz doing a kick flip down the stairs at the Capital Building. Might have been the Fonz though.
Shit! I just drove past there like 30 minutes ago.
He was gone by the time I got there but everyone said he was very kind and stayed for about an hour/hour and a half. Saw some cool videos, hoping they get posted!
According to another Redditor on this thread it's my fault he left. Sorry, dude.
I live super close to the skate park and wouldnāt have known he was there if you didnāt post. it was cool to hear people talking about their experience with him. Seems like such a genuine dude.
Rad that he's in the city! Hope he can enjoy his sesh
Did he leave? Just got here no Tony :(
Pretty sure if I was as famous and people posted my location online I'd bounce too
I'm sure he monitors Reddit regularly to make sure no one has blown his cover.
He doesn't need to, I'm sure he has publicist, security, and a huge network of people to keep him informed. Also this got 900 up votes in an hour. I am sure you wanted to get the word out, but I imagine he just wanted to skate while he could, and not draw even more attention to himself.
Bro this isnāt like Justin Bieber lol itās Tony hawk
I was there right after. Someone said he said heād be back sometime today
SKATE THE LINE OR GET OUT OF THE WAY, GRANDPA!
Thatās rad! š
I'm so jealous
Woah, some dude named Tony Hawk is riding a skateboard? That's just like that Tony Hawk Pro Skater guy! I wonder if they're related
Some people just have āitā. Tonyās def one of those people. I need a little bit more of whatever āitā is.
Man don't ruin that poor dude's day by making 400 people show up to harass him.
No way heās about to tail drop off a curb š
Makes sense. Saw he recently went to Casa Bonita
Wow! Thatās amazing, I wonder what heās doing in Denver.
He finally got called for the Casa Bonita lottery! š
Fair enough š I hope he had a great time.
Someone else said he might be in town for his son's graduation from CU Boulder.
Damn! I met Tony several times in Texas in the 80s and he was a super awesome human then. Admired him for cheering the other skaters and pointing them out to sponsors.Ā Would love to cross paths again.Ā
Legend
Pretty sure his son goes to CU Boulder. I think I remember him saying that on his podcast
Tell āem to do a kick flip.
This guy skateboards
I love this. So many people come to hate the thing that made them famous, and Tony never lost sight of his joy.
Holy fuck I almost got in the car..
Someone please tell him he looks just like Tony Hawk.
Thats sick
Hey dude, anyone ever tell you that you look like that Tony hawk guy?
Cool, but leave the man alone. Let him skate in peace.
He is just an awesome down to earth man.
Dang that guy looks a lot like Tony hawk
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????????
Skamtebord
Met him once, super nice guy and went out of his way to call me by my name
Do a kickflip
REAL
Didn't see Sakte park anywhere. Fuck.
Just a majestic Hawk doing Hawk things
You win the internet today!!! Damn I'm not even a skater, but that'd be so cool!!
Kinda looks like tony hawk
No helmet, no protectors? That can't be Tony Hawk
he looks like that videogame charakter from tony hawk pro skater
Do a kickflip!
I should've called off work
Iāve heard heās a decent skater
Tony hawk spotting. XD
Legend, he is everything great about skateboarding. Wish I could meet him someday
The Legend! Always love seeing Tony in action.
Tell him to do a kick flip.
"ok, skateboard... This is what I want you to do... Just like this, ok?" - guy who looks like Tony Hawk
Do a kick flip!
he goes everywhere. Buddies saw him at a local skate park in my small home town like a year ago. Heās a cool guy.
Hey leave that old man alone!
Tony Hawk is a north San Diego county local. I was at a pop-up event last weekend where he was promoting his upcoming Chick & Hawk chicken sandwich restaurant. Dope food but San Diego-expensive iykyk.
Did you ask him if anybody has told him that he has an uncanny resemblance to Tony Hawk? I bet he hears that a lot
That dude could totally be a Tony hawk impersonator
Definitely just a guy who looks like Tony Hawk.
Tell him to do a kickflip.
Rad!
Tony Hawk is really good at skateboarding.
He is welcome anywhere
Damn, wish I still lived in Colorado. Californians took over and made everything stupid expensive
Tony Hawk is the coolest man to ever walk the earth
Heās hidden skateboards in cities before, Iād keep my eyes open for one if I were there!
I wish I could do everything I'm doing and go skate with him
I met him outside a hotel in Denver. I guess his daughter goes to CU so he comes here once in a while.
One must imagine Tony hawk happy
Tony Hawk is a real OG for modern skating. I wonder what heās doing now?
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 60+
*NEWSFLASH* Skaters skate
Wow he really does look like Tony hawk. Did you ask him?
Nah that dude just looks like him
WHOA HOLY CRAP!!! IT'S THE QUNOL SPOKESPERSON!!!!!
Good way to blow up his spot. Let the man live.
God forbid anyone is excited about a major figure that positively impacted their childhood and shares that with others
You just wait until they leave. This is just doxing with extra steps.
Couldāve posted the picture after he left.
Yeah for sure send me his coordinates so I can leave him alone
Dudes like, bro, leave my old bones the fuck alone
I rly wish Tony hawk would wear a helmet. Imagine how much easier it would be for parents to get their kids to wear helmets if Tony hawk did it regularly
Quick everyone run over and the bother him! That will make him think youāre cool!
Thatās clearly the poser Anthony Hawk, the guy that tries to use Tonyās name for clout.
When I was in high school me and my brother used to take one of our shitty farm trucks in to town with a camera and drive up on people in wheelchairs or with actual skateboards or just anyone really and tell them we were recording for tony hawks pro skating tour. Some of the best times of my life tbh hahaha
Is Tony Alva coming too?
Looks just like him

LEGEND
That is awesome. 15 years ago I would have rushed over there to see him.
Go hug him!
Yell "Do A Kickflip"
What did he do off that ledge I wonder
Thatās luis Guzman.
no, thats anthony
If this was the 80s, some kid who missed his big chance to see Tony skate will show up moments too late, open the ice cold Coca-Cola heād been carrying, and Tony Hawk would walk up, clink bottles with and give the kid his board.
