About six months ago I proclaimed that action sports athlete Travis Pastrana is Metal as Fuck.

Well now legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk has joined Pastrana in being metal AF.

I always thought it would be cool to be unquestionably the best in the world at something. Anything really. Best golfer. Best dart thrower. Whatever. Tony Hawk did it and he’s still doing it.
