Tony Hawk and Andy Macdonald brought vert skateboarding to Kai Cenat’s ongoing 24/7 livestream yesterday. The two pros performed a full demo session on a halfpipe built specifically for the broadcast.
At 57 and 52 years old respectively, Hawk and Macdonald showed they haven’t lost their touch. The pair traded runs on the temporary ramp installed in the backyard of Cenat’s rented mansion. They focused on smooth, flowing lines rather than attempting their most difficult tricks.
The appearance marks another high-profile guest segment in Cenat’s month-long subathon Mafiathon 3. The streamer has been broadcasting nonstop from the property, bringing in celebrities and setting up elaborate stunts to maintain viewer interest around the clock.
Hawk remains skateboarding’s most recognizable figure decades after landing the first documented 900 at the 1999 X Games. His video game franchise and recent HBO documentary Until the Wheels Fall Off have kept him in the public eye well beyond his competition days.
Macdonald built his reputation as one of vert skating’s most consistent competitors through the late 1990s and 2000s. He collected multiple X Games medals and World Cup Skateboarding titles during his career peak. The two have performed together at exhibitions and demos for years.
The halfpipe didn’t last long after the cameras moved on. Viewers reported hearing construction sounds later that night as crews dismantled the ramp while Cenat slept on stream. The teardown noise became part of the broadcast’s overnight programming.
This crossover between action sports legends and streaming culture shows how live content creators are pulling established stars into their world. Instead of traditional media appearances, athletes now drop into creator-controlled environments for real-time performances.
Cenat set Twitch’s all-time subscription record during one of his streams shortly after, hitting 1 million active subscribers on Twitch. His current marathon stream continues the format with rotating activities and surprise guests keeping viewers engaged 24 hours a day.
