Motivational Message for the July Takers from Tony Hawk

Hey Goats,

I know you're all stressed as you're starting your July studying journey. I wanted to do something to cheer you up.

As many of you know, I was an amateur skateboarder in my youth. I got a wildcard into the 1999 X-Games and competed against Tony Hawk in the vert. I tragically tore my ACL attempting a double barrel Goat flip, and Tony carried me off the ramp himself. I began a life of bar prep shortly after that.

Tony has quietly checked in on me ever since. When I told him the July class was spiraling, he insisted on recording something.

This is what he had to say:

I'll never do a kickflip again due to my injury but he is speaking the truth.

Let's focus in and crush this test. You are all going to do great so don't get discouraged if your practice results aren't there yet. It's normal to start slow - it will all come together soon.

Reach out if you ever have any questions or just want to talk!

- Goat
