Tony Hawk got kicked out of a skatepark — for skating. The legend set out to celebrate 25 years of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, attempting to recreate the iconic third entry in his video game series at a real-world park, only to be escorted out by security, Kotaku reports.

The irony writes itself: the man whose name is on the most influential skateboarding games ever made, removed from a park while paying tribute to one of them. THPS3, released in 2001, is widely considered the series' peak — the game that introduced the revert, enabling endless combo lines, and became a defining title of its era.

Hawk has a long history of self-aware stunts and anniversary celebrations around the franchise, and getting bounced by security is unlikely to slow this one down — if anything, it's the kind of story that becomes part of the celebration. Twenty-five years on, THPS3 nostalgia clearly remains strong enough to send its namesake over fences he apparently wasn't supposed to cross.
