Tony Hawk Recreates 'Central Park Mystery Skater' Photo From 1965, after some pretty impressive work to investigate this mysterious, dapper skateboarder from the mid-60s,



While the "mystery skater" still technically remains a mystery, everything that has sprouted since the investigation—and really, since 1965 when the original photo was shot—has been so rad. It brought the skateboarding community (and beyond) together in such a cool, unique way.


I posted about the photographer and his 1965 New York Central Park skateboard montage a decade ago  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-invention-of-skateboard.html

    That was a really cool of Tony Hawk. Never seen the original photo before, but that was really interesting

    I still have that same skateboard, it replaced the 1x4 with a shoe skate nailed to it.
