If you’ve ever wanted to prove yourself to be a better skateboarder than Tony Hawk and not have to worry about risking your spine on the half-pipe, then now is your chance to beat the Hawkman at his own game. Literally.
Tony Hawk has partnered with Pacifico Beer to create Pacifico’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater Challenge, which will be livestreamed on IGN’s YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch on February 18 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM EST.
Hawk will play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 for 30 minutes during the stream, share his favorite Easter eggs, demonstrate real-life tricks on a half-pipe, and set a high score during a two-minute run in the game.
Once the stream has concluded, players will have two weeks to submit their own scores into the competition, where they stand a chance to win gaming gear valued at up to $5,000. Prizes up for grabs include a player’s choice of a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X console, a 55-inch 4K smart TV, a signed copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 by Hawk himself, and more.
Since this is an alcohol-sponsored event though, participants will need to be 21 and older to enter. Players can share their high scores with Pacifico through its social media channels, and you won’t even need to beat Hawk’s score to be eligible for entry.
Still, it’d be nice to at least earn some bragging rights in this rare opportunity and win a few prizes for your efforts.
