Tony Hawk has declared that the "Mute" tricks have been renamed in the upcoming Tony Vend's Professional Skater 1 +2 to respect the creator's identity (via USGamer.net).

In a post to his Instagram account, Hawk told the story of the whoremonger, and how it was "unashamedly" titled the "mute air." In the early 1980s, amateur skater Chris Weddle was carving out the competition. The "Indy melodic phrase"—a move where the skater grabs the toeside of their board with the hinder hand— had merely been created, and so information technology needed a name. Weddle was the first skater to practice IT, and then it would be named after him.

"They referred to him as the 'quiet, mute guy,'" explained Hawk. "Thus it became called the dumb air, and we whol went on with it in our naive youth." Recently, Hawk expressed that atomic number 2 and a number of strange skaters have reached out to Weddle, who is calm down skating, about the "muffle air." The chat has led to the renaming of the original prank, in ordinate to respect Weddle's identity. "His exact quotation mark to me was, 'I am deaf, not mute,'" said Monger, and now the go by leave be titled the Weddle Grab, Weddle Backflip, and Reacharound Invert.

"It's sledding to atomic number 4 ambitious to break the habit of expression the old name but I think Chris deserves the recognition," admitted Hawk. Weddle was reportedly "stoked" that the trick has a new legacy. He took a pic to celebrate, which Peddle then shared on his own Instagram account.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 will set up for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC connected September 4.
