I have been a big fan on Tony Hawk for a lot of years and even though he hasn’t been too present lately in the Extreme Games, he still is my favorite skateboarder. Anthony Frank “Tony” Hawk was born May 12, 1968. He is an American professional skateboarder that gained significant fame for completing the first 900 move at the 1999 X-Games as well as his licensed video game titles distributed by Activision. I have been following him ever since he made that 900 and I never failed to buy his video games, as well as some of his memorabilia. I also never missed his Boom Boom Huck Jam events and I even got a chance to meet the man himself in one of those events. As for myself, I am also trying to get in to extreme sports and I have a collection of skate decks in my house and one of them has Tony Hawk’s signature on it, which I consider one of my prized possessions. I haven’t really competed in any major events but I am always practicing my moves and tried to compete in a minor contest. I can only wish that I can reach the success that Tony Hawk has ever achieved.
