Apparently there are a whole lot of people in this world that just don't recognize Tony Hawk when he's out in the wild. It must be somewhat nice for him; he doesn't have to deal with rabid fans storming his presence when he's out and about. But, he also has to deal with the occasional observer who thinks they know him from somewhere, but can't quite place it. At least Tony Hawk's a good sport about it.
