Tony Hawk has revealed something many of his diehard fans wouldn't even know.
The skateboarding legend, who became a household name because of his exposure at the X-Games and the huge popularity of his video games, lifted the lid on a little-known truth about his sport.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the 52-year-old told the real story behind the trick known as the "mute", saying it should have been named something completely different decades ago.
"For nearly 40 years, we've shamelessly referred to this trick as the 'mute' air/grab," Hawk wrote.
"Here is the backstory. Around 1981, a deaf skater and Colton skate park local named Chris Weddle was a prominent amateur on the competition circuit. The 'Indy' air had just been created & named so somebody proposed that grabbing with the front hand should be known as the 'Tracker' air.
