Tony Hawk teases 5 cast with an awesome pick-a-skater impression

The new Tony Hawk game is a bit of a messy mystery, mainly thanks to leaks and accidental reveals. Now, even Tony Hawk himself is getting in on the fun, reposting an Instagram from skater Rob Wootton:

So far, the only official comment has been that the game's coming and the leaked Tony Hawk 5 logo refers to a working title. There has been heavy hinting though that the series will return to the purer skating focus of the original games - that "THPS fans will rejoice" up there for example. It makes sense then to feature new skaters and tease a classic recreation of the game's trouser-cycling, shirt choosing character crafting. Even the song, Rage Against The Machine's Guerilla Radio, is a nod to 'old' Hawk games, having appeared in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.

If you really want a kick in the nostalgias then check out this video by Kevin Perez and featuring Chris Blake on the board:
