In Case You Missed It – streets.mn visits Tony Hawk’s late 90s Minneapolis

During the pandemic, tourism has to adapt and change to fit the times. That’s why a while back streets.mn used Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater to visit Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and other late 90s skater meccas. If you missed it when it happened, check out the Twitch stream here.

Thanks to Phil Schwartz for being our skateboard expert and filling us in on all the things we needed to know about skating in US cities.

Enjoy!
