However, a few days ago, the first 900-scoring skateboarder shared an IG post trying the same “9” scoring flick on the mentioned skateboard. Moreover, Tony Hawk recently manifested himself in building a project that will gift four skating areas in Brooklyn. In the abundance of such highly motivated efforts, the 55-year-old might not care about shedding his blood droplets.

A life full of injuries is about to be showcased 

In his practice on the skateboard for the last umpteenth years, Tony Hawk faced a numberless injuries. But those fell short of resulting in any single crack in his iron-cast resolution. Tony expressed his urge to train the novices about the nitty gritty of skateboarding. On this goal, the Skatepark Project came into being. Moreover, a documentary named, “Tapes You Leave Behind” tended to be released, focused on Tony Hawk’s life. However, the shooting for this documentary went into limbo because of his two injuries over the last 4 years.
