However, while on stage, they seemed to have a debate about the ultimate GOAT.
“It’s impossible to ever be certain that just one star was clearly the GOAT,” said Shaun. Hawk was quick with his reply and said, “Well I don’t know about that there are a few athletes who you clearly know are the greatest in their field”.
Tony Hawk took a dig at Shaun White, commenting on how he “used” to be one of the GOATs’.

“Really dude,” Shaun White rolled his eyes.
I’m talking about you two of course at least it used to be,” said Tony. Slaten then jumped in to give his opinion regarding being the Greatest of All Time.
“Well, we tried our best to be game-changers in our respective sports.”
It was light-hearted banter between the 3 athletes, who are extremely talented in the won sport. While Shaun is a 3-time Olympic champion, Hawk himself is one of the most experienced skateboarders in the world. In fact, it was Tony Hawk who majorly inspired White to take up skateboarding. Meanwhile, Kelly Salter has won the World Surf League a record 11 times.
