"Keep going until the wheels fall off."

Seventeen years after Tony Hawk landed his first 900 during the X-Games in San Francisco, the pro skater decided to attempt the trick one more time, at the age of 48.

Although Hawk is still an incredible athlete, he clearly took a beating while attempting to land the 900.
