Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain and a big chunk of the Independent Trucks team recently surprised longtime Indy TM, Rhino with his own signature truck. When The Birdman admits you've been skating certain trucks longer than him, that's pretty gnarly. But Rhino is and always has been as real as it gets.

Peep the surprise, along with a ripping Indy demo at the Linda Vista skatepark. Hot heat! Get there:

Shortly after the surprise, the session turned into a full-blown demo featuring some straight up OGs, your favorite pros and hungry ams alike, including: Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Christian Hosoi, JHANKA, Josh Borden, Bryson Farrell, Yam Behar, Greyson Fletcher, Fabiana Delfino, Tom Schaar, Liam Pace, Miles Blackman, Lady Meek, Ryan Decenzo, Leo Romero, and Braden Hoban. Squad goals!

Rhino certainly knows how to pick 'em! The dude is an absolute OG and manages some of the heaviest skateboarders in the game. Have you seen Kevin Baekkel's latest Indy part? Perfect example. Not trying to move the light off of Rhino, but peep the part above. Seriously, it's as heavy as it gets.

Anyways, that session was out of control. Leo crooked grinded up the hubba. What!? If you've ever been to Linda Vista, you know just how impossible that is. Even of you haven't been there...you know that's buck.

Congrats to Rhino on his new truck. One of San Diego's finest! Keep the fire burning.
