Tas says he was getting really close to the 900 leading up to the X Games that year, and he had a sequence published in Transworld. So let’s take a look at the specifics here. And the reason he got him kicked out was because he knew Pappas would probably do it first. So the basic story here is that Pappas says Hawk got him banned from the best trick contest in 1999, which is when Hawk stepped in and did the 900. They were some of the first people really pushing flip tricks on vert, along with guys like Danny Way. I watched it on Netflix.Īnd if you don’t know about the Pappas brothers, they were really big for a while in the 90s. He doesn’t even deny that Hawk did it first, so how did he steal it? But when you watch the documentary, it kind of makes sense. At first glance, that sounds completely ridiculous. He says Tony Hawk stole the 900 from him. So it’s not really ABOUT Tony Hawk, but he does come up a lot, and the movie does make a lot of claims. It’s really about how he and his brother get caught up in drugs and how his brother tragically died. Back in 2014, Vice made a documentary about Tas Pappas called All This Mayhem, which is basically his life story.
