Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Tribute Night

Overview

In 1999, video games changed forever. It was one of those moments that split history in two: before Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and after. If you can't remember the momentous occasion, let us enlighten you. No, Pro Skater wasn't just a way get your skateboarding fix without actually doing real kick-flips and tricks. It was a way of life.

Think we're overstating things a little? Then you just haven't experienced the true button-smashing bliss that is Hawk's first video game title. But don't worry — thanks to The Foundry's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Tribute Night, you won't remain in the dark for long.

Not only will the venue be decked out like it's the kind of warehouse space you could get your deck out in (aka a familiar sight to game aficionados), but it'll be filled with consoles and primed for a night of online ollying nostalgia. Local bands Hound., DELUSO and DEEDS will also be getting into the spirit by cranking out covers of in-game tracks. Yes, this is what Pro Skater heaven looks and sounds like.
