Most celebrities dream about living under the radar. For example, being able to sit down at a coffee shop and not having to sign twenty-seven paper cups. You know, the little things. The song The Way I Am by Eminem paints quite the lyrical picture of the subject.

But skating legend Tony Hawk doesn't have this problem. People recognize him relatively rarely; Hawk can even have conversations with random folks he bumps into like a regular human being. The best part is that he enjoys these moments so much, he even tweets about them in a hilariously down-to-earth kind of way.

    The correct response to "you've gotten older" is "It beats the alternative."

    "Who are you? My son is a big fan of your work, and we used to watch videos of you when he was a kid, but I still have no idea who you are, Mr. Tony Hawk, famous pro-skateboarder."

    I like that Hawk is wearing a Van's shirt, since it's a competitor with his shoe line.

    Sounds like a lot of people in the San Diego "grew up skating with Tony Hawk".
