Tony Hawk is considered to be one of the best skateboarders of all time. From time to time, this legend has amazed the spectators with his incredible abilities. He has performed many mind-boggling and gravity-defying tricks, including a ‘900 rotation trick’ with his skateboard. 

Every person who is devoted to skateboarding considers him a god in a way. Meanwhile, once Hawk drove his car around the town, yelling and asking other skateboarders for a trick. Finally, however, there was one kid who caught his attention.

Tony Hawk reaching out to random skateboarders 

The skateboarding legend, Tony, drove around suburbs encouraging people to kickflip in exchange for skateboarding equipment. He told every skateboarder he saw on his way to do a “Do A Kickflip.” In addition, he handed skating items for free as a reward to the skateboarder who successfully did the trick. 

Meanwhile, there was a kid on his scooter to whom the legend asked to do a bar spin. As the kid did the trick easily, Tony was impressed with him. After handing him a gift, he said, “I feel like his whole life living upto that moment. Like someone to call him out to do a bar spin ’cause he was locked and loaded right when I said it.”

In addition, the ‘Birdman’ was telling everyone a fake name to see if they could recognize him. Finally, there was one boy who recognized him with just one look. For obvious reasons, Hawk was impressed. But, on the other hand, many other skateboarders fizzled to do the tricks and didn’t recognize him either.

Hawk’s unveiled legacy

The illustrious skateboarder, who is also known as ‘Birdman,’ has a remarkable journey in skateboarding. He has won 70 tournaments throughout his career. In addition, the legend held the title of National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 years. But there is a thing that makes him different from every skateboarder: that is the way he creates many new tricks.

He invented tricks for the gymnast plant, the Saran wrap, the frontside 540-rodeo flip, and the ollie-to-Indy. With this, the Birdman has won ten gold medals, three silver medals, and two bronze medals in the X games.
