Tony Hawk, Eric Kosoton and Collin McKay.
If you need a skate tutor, you can't beat Eric Koston on street and Colin McKay on ramps... with the help of skating's godfather, Tony Hawk. This video starts where the first volume left off and presents the next level of tricks that you should learn.
The Tricks
Street Essentials
Tony and Eric Koston guide us through three segments:
- Segment I:

Afterwards there's "Talk Time with Tony and Eric" in which Eric discusses his introduction to skateboarding and other fascinating things that I fast-forwarded through.
Ramp Skating
Tony and Colin McKay guide us through two segments:
- Segment I:
- Axle Stall

- Pivot
- 5-0
- Segment II:
- FS Ollie
- Fakie Disaster

Interspersed in the Tony & Colin footage are these awesome little nuggets of style from Colin - "Stylin' with Colin". Each of the segments he shows you something cool you can do with your sk8 while you're not skating. These tricks are Hella cool and will occupy your time when you might otherwise be twiddling your thumbs, putting your hands in your pockets or other nervous oddities that make you look like a dork. Follow Colin - be cooler.
