Tony Hawk is considered by many to be the best skateboarder of all time. Well, he’s up on top of all the skateboarders (definitely the best in my terms), but Tony is the most influential skateboarder ever. He has created 50+ signature moves of his own like the stalefish, the madonna, and the 720. Tony has won competition after competition that he has entered in during his ‘prodom’(12 World Championships and many smaller titles). He was also the first skateboarder ever to pull off a 900, which is a two-and-one-half rotation in the air (not to mention Tony being the only skateboarder to accomplish it). Tony was born 5-12-68 in San Diego, California and lives in Carlsbad, California with his wife Erin and their son Riley. Right now Tony is 29 years old. He has been skating for 21 years and has been a pro for 17. He has many sponsors that include Birdhouse, Tech Deck, Hawk Clothing, and ESPN.
