Link’s Pro Skater As I constantly lament the death of theTony Hawkfranchise (and get excited at the prospect of it coming back every chance I get), the spirit of the series still lives on through fans everywhere. Or something like that. It definitely lives and breathes in this clip from bennyfastfeet, who posted a “totally intentional” video.
