Occasionally, we get a reminder that the power of social media is unlike anything else, and that’s the case with this story involving legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, a TikTok user and a kid.
Let’s start with TikTok: a FedEx driver who calls himself Mikail on his profile sent out a video in which he said a young fan of Hawk’s named Cooper chased him down to ask if he could mail a board to the skateboard star.
Mikail, of course, doesn’t have Hawk’s address, so the video was the next best thing.
Sure enough, Hawk responded with a TikTok of his own directed to Cooper: he said the skateboard was on its way … and that Hawk was sending one of his own back:
A kid asked this mailman to deliver his skateboard to Tony Hawk
Tony came through and sent over his skateboard 🙏
