Watch Jack Black Play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Remasters With The Real Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk has announced new remastered versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, and he went to Jack Black's YouTube channel to promote it. The actor and comedian known for Tenacious D and the Jumanji series boasts over 4.5 million subscribers on his channel, "Jablinski Games," and he and his two sons watched as the skater shredded the Warehouse, the iconic opening level of THPS1.

As they played the game, Black and Hawk discussed how they first met at a Tenacious D concert back in 1999, with Black revealing that he used to play the original Pro Skater in the back of his tour bus for hours. Black also mentioned that he was a fan of the classic arcade game 720°, and how that led him to believe that the 900 was impossible. (As any THPS fan well knows, Hawk was the first to perform the trick at the 1999 X-Games. Recently, an 11-year-old skater became the first to perform a 1080 on a standard vert ramp.)

As revealed on Tuesday, the THPS remasters will have all of the original levels, skaters, and tricks from the first and second games in the series, along with THPS 2's create-a-park and create-a-skater modes. The last official entry in the series was the disastrous THPS 5, which received dismal reviews from all quarters.
