The Speedrun History of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 is one of the most influential games in history - catapulting skateboarding into the spotlight and inspiring a new generation of skaters. The games have since spawned multiple gaming communities, each with their own goals and objectives and style of play. For one group, they want to do one thing: complete the game as fast as possible.

For almost ten years, the THPS Speedrun Community has been growing, breaking records, and pushing the games as far as they can go. While each game has their own story to tell, this video/documentary starts from the beginning with the first Pro Skater game.

Join me as we go back in time - covering nearly twenty years of history - to uncover the community's origins, the rise of the world's best players, the fall of numerous records, and aspirations for the future!
