“#\u2018The last one I\u2019ll ever do\u2019<\/strong>”

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is skating off into the sunset of his career \u2014 or at least some of his moves are.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old pro has begun doing tricks for the last time and just retired one of his famous moves. In a video<\/a> posted to his Instagram on Thursday, the professional skater performed his signature ollie 540 for the last time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1989 I started trying ollie 540\u2019s as a joke, since it seemed there was no way to keep a skateboard on your feet throughout 1 1\/2 spins in the air. But at some point I started scooping the tail with my back toe, which kept my feet in place for most of the spin,\u201d Hawk captioned the video. \u201cSo today I decided to do it one more time \u2026 and never again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The iconic shredder decided to retire the trick, which he has been perfecting for decades after numerous wipeouts began physically taking a toll on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c[My] willingness to slam unexpectedly into the flat bottom has waned greatly over the last decade,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After completing his final ollie 540 in the video after multiple attempts, Hawk falls to his knees, crying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cKinda sad. I\u2019m like a little sad. That definitely was the last one I\u2019ll ever do,\u201d Hawk says before breaking into tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cF \u2013 \u2013 k it. Happ<\/a>y I made it,\u201d he tells the others in the video, pacing the halfpipe. \u201cThanks guys for hanging in there with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The emotional moment, in which Hawk humbly performs a feat of human ability, is being auctioned off as a non-fungible coin (NFT), the current hottest crypto craze. Proceeds from the sale of the intangible, blockchain-based ownership representation token will be donated to a yet unspecified charity, CoinDesk reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January, Hawk shared a video<\/a> of himself landing a 720.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently made a 720 and it was a battle. The last one I made before this was over three years ago, and it\u2019s much harder now all things considered: recently dislocated fingers hinder my grab, my spin is slower so I need to go higher for full rotation and \u2026 I\u2019m really old,\u201d he captioned the video.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
