TONY HAWK was the best skateboarder in the world by the time he was 16. He has entered an estimated 103 pro contests, winning 73 of them, and placing second in 19. In 1999 Activision and Tony created the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game for PlayStation, which has become one of the best-selling video-game franchises of all time, with a fifth version due out in late 2003. His best-selling autobiography, HAWK-Occupation: Skateboarder is currently available in paperback. He created Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skatepark Tour for ESPN, which is second only to the X-Games in viewership, and founded the Tony Hawk Foundation, designed to help finance public skateparks in low-income areas.
Tony showcases his passion for skateboarding with "Mouseskateer," depicting Mickey as a fellow enthusiast, complete with a board and helmet. |
