“Shut Up and Skate” was probably one of the most exhilarating events that took place in Texas. Even though this event took place 30 years ago, the memories made during the event happen to be very dear to Tony.
Tony has always left the audience bedazzled by showcasing his talent on a variety of platforms. Be it creating his own video game, Pro Skater, or winning the “Kids Choice Award for- Favourite Athlete”.
Tony Hawk- the epitome of dynamism
In the year 1999, he became the first-ever individual to complete a “900”. The “900” is one of the most challenging tricks to pull for a skater. Basically, it requires completing two-and-a-half mid-air revolutions on a skateboard. He was successful on his 12th attempt, and he nailed it.
The American skateboarding star has not only been one of the top athletes but also a very well-known entrepreneur. And after he launched his video games and founded his company, he proved to everyone that he’s more than just a sportsperson.
Even after retiring, the love he has for the sport continues to grow in magnitude.
