Age Of Tony Hawk

Perhaps the most famous moment in skateboarding history occurred when Tony Hawk was 31 years old. At the 1999 X Games, after eleven failed attempts and with the clock ran out, Hawk landed the first-ever (two-and-a-half mid-air revolutions).

In the modern era, Tony Hawk has transitioned from a competitor to a philanthropist and a cultural historian. Through the Tony Hawk Foundation (now The Skatepark Project), he has helped fund over 600 public skateparks across the United States. He has ensured that the "Age of Tony Hawk" leaves a permanent physical infrastructure for future generations of skaters who will never know a world without a local park. age of tony hawk
