PHOTOS: Tony Hawk Skateboards Around Detroit
Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk snapped some pics of his moves around Motor City this weekend.
DETROIT, MI — Tony Hawk was doing his thing around Detroit this weekend.
The skateboard legend posted pictures by one of the region's most notable photographers, Camera Jesus, making for some awesome images out of the city. In the photos he shows off his moves with graffiti covered walls and handrails in the background.
Thanks to @CameraJesus for capturing me in motion today in and around Detroit. I can’t begin to explain how frightening handrails are for me these days, considering my AARP status and long dormant street skills. pic.twitter.com/pcYLTXrXxn

Hawk joked about his age and even tossed in an old man emoji, but we know he's still got it.
