| Tony Hawk | ||||||||
|
||||||||
| Tony Hawk was nine years old when his brother changed his life by giving him a blue fiberglass banana board. | ||||||||
| By twelve, Tony was sponsored by Dogtown skateboards, by fourteen he was pro, and by age sixteen Tony Hawk was the best skateboarder in the world. In the ensuing 17 years, Hawk has entered an estimated 103 pro contests. He won 73 of them, and placed second in 19. By far the best record in skateboarding's history. (He even won a contest after a redeye flight and only three hours of sleep.) | ||||||||
