Tony Hawk showed up on Dynamite for Darby Allin’s tamest stunt ever

on

AEW’s X

We’ve seen Darby Allin dive off bridges, and through panes of glass. He’s jumped a Jeep over his house, did a Coffin Drops off a crane, and a tricycle backflip off a really big ramp.

Hell, he was supposed to be climbing Mount Everest instead of appearing on last night’s Dynamite. But he broke his foot in a tame-for-him-looking spot in a match a couple weeks back, so there Allin was with skateboard legend Tony Hawk.

You see, Darby’s Everest expedition was going to be in support of Hawk’s Skatepark Project, a nonprofit he started to give young people in underserved communities safe, inclusive places to skate. Since he couldn’t go to the mountain, Allin put Tony on AEW television to do a trick off his foot cast for the same cause.

Given the stuff we mentioned at the start of this post (which is just a drop in the bucket of bonkers Darby stunts and spots), we figured Hawk would be grinding or sliding on Allin’s cast. Not that doing a handplant on someone’s broken foot isn’t, as Tony says, “so dangerous”. It’s just not quite as obviously spectacular as what we’re used to seeing from Dangerous Darbs.

Still pretty cool, though. Plus, it’s Tony freaking Hawk, and it’s for the kids. No complaints here.
