Early life edit
Tony Hawk was born on May 12, 1968, in San Diego, California, to Nancy (1924–2019)[7][8] and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk,[9] and was raised in San Diego.[10][11] He has two older sisters, Pat and Lenore, and an older brother, Steve.[12]
As a child, Hawk was described as "hyperactive".[11] One time, Hawk struck out in baseball and was so distraught that he hid in a ravine and had to be coaxed out by his father. His parents had him psychologically evaluated at school. The results were that Tony was "gifted", as he was tested with an IQ of 144,[13] so school advisers recommended placing him in advanced classes.[14] Hawk attended Jean Farb Middle School from 1980 to 1981. His parents supported his skateboarding because it served as an outlet for his excess energy. Hawk's skills developed, and he made his television debut on Captain Kangaroo as "Skateboard Johnny" in 1981.[15] Hawk became a professional skateboarder at age 14.[14] By age 16, he was sponsored by Powell Peralta, Tracker, Sundek, Vans, and SIO.[16] Hawk was the official National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years.[14]
Hawk attended three high schools and graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 1986. He listed Steve Caballero and Christian Hosoi as his influences at the time.[17]
Career edit
Skateboarding edit
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (March 2021) |
With the money he made from skateboarding, Hawk bought his first house during his senior year in high school.[17]
On June 27, 1999, Hawk became the first skateboarder to land a "900", a trick involving the completion of two-and-a-half mid-air revolutions on a skateboard, in which he was successful on his twelfth attempt. After completing the trick, Hawk said, "This is the best day of my life."[18] He retired from professional competition that year,[19] but Hawk continued to appear at the annual X Games until 2003, when he retired from performing. On June 27, 2016, at age 48, Hawk performed what he claimed would be his final 900. In a video posted on the YouTube RIDE Channel, Hawk said, "Spencer was there on my first one, and now he was there on my last", after successfully landing a 900.[20]
Hawk was invited to US president Barack Obama's June 2009 Father's Day celebration and skated in the hallways of the nearby Old Executive Office Building on the White House grounds. This was the first time anyone had skateboarded on the White House grounds with permission from officials.[21] In 2009, Hawk was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame at its inaugural ceremony.[22][23]
As of April 2020, Hawk is sponsored by Birdhouse, Vans,[24] Independent, Bones, and Nixon.[25][26][27] His current Pro model shoe is the Proto.[28] Hawk was formerly sponsored by Theeve.[29]
In July 2021, Hawk briefly ended his competitive retirement to participate in the Vert Best Trick event at that year's X Games, finishing in fourth place out of nine competitors.[30][31]

Video game series edit
A video game series based on Hawk's skateboarding, titled Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, debuted in 1999. Since then, the series has spawned 18 titles so far, including ten main-series titles, four spin-offs, and four repackages.
Hawk's role in the series was usurped by customizable player characters in later installments,[34] but he has remained a prominent character. In the fifth game in the series, Underground, Hawk is a minor non-player character whom the player meets in Tampa, Florida, and skates against. Impressed with the player's skills, Hawk grants them entry into a skate competition.[35] He later appears in Moscow to teach them the "360 Varial Heelflip Lien" move.[36] Hawk and other skaters are briefly playable near the end of the game when they skate in a promotional video for the player's skate team,[37] and in all gameplay modes except the story mode.[38] He appeared as a kid in the Backyard Sports game, Backyard Skateboarding.

Other ventures edit
- Radio and podcasting
Hawk hosted a weekly radio show on Sirius XM from 2004 to 2019 called "Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio". In 2021, Hawk partnered with fellow skateboarder and former SiriusXM host Jason Ellis for the weekly podcast "Hawk vs. Wolf".
- Boom Boom HuckJam
In 2002, Hawk started a show tour featuring freestyle motocross, skateboarding, and BMX. It started in Las Vegas and went on to 31 cities around the U.S. and eventually to Six Flags amusement parks.[48]
- Amusement park rides
A series of amusement park rides known as Tony Hawk's Big Spin were built in three Six Flags parks in 2007 and 2008.[49] The ride was originally billed as the "Tony Hawk experience" and was designed to have the look and feel of a giant red-and-black skatepark. It offered a full "extreme sports" experience, with monitors in the queue lines displaying highlights of the history of action sports and a large spinning Tony Hawk figure crowning the ride. In 2010, Six Flags cancelled its license and the rides were renamed to Pandemonium.[50] The ride at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was moved to Six Flags Mexico in 2012. Additionally, a water park ride called Tony Hawk's Half pipe (renamed The Half pipe in 2011) was opened at Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland.[51]
- Emoji
In February 2018, New York magazine reported that Hawk was working with Jeremy Burge to help design Emojipedia's skateboard emoji[52] after the company's initial design was criticized by Hawk as "a skateboard you would buy at a department store in the '80s."[53] The updated design was based on Hawk's own skateboard.[54] Subsequent releases of the skateboard emoji from Apple and Samsung resemble Hawk's board (including 60mm wheels)[55] despite no direct collaboration between Hawk and these companies.[56]
- Music
In 2022, Hawk signed a contract with Cleopatra Records, and released his first single, a cover of The Jam's "In the City", featuring punk rock supergroup Punk Rock Karaoke. The single was released on July 22, 2022, with its B-side, a cover of The Damned's "Neat Neat Neat".[57] In 2023, Hawk joined Goldfinger on stage and sang "Superman" during their performances at House of Blues[58] and at the When We Were Young Festival.[59] He also performed "Superman" and a cover of Agent Orange's "Bloodstains" with Australian band Birdman, during his tour An Evening with Tony Hawk across Australia in January 2024.[60]
Image and legacy edit
In December 2011, Hawk was listed by Transworld Skateboarding magazine as the second-most-influential skateboarder of all time, particularly for the invention of the backside ollie to tail.[61][62]
In January 2013, professional skateboarder John Cardiel, ranked by Transworld Skateboarding as the eleventh most influential skateboarder of all time, listed Hawk as one of his most important influences, as well as Mark Gonzales and Christian Hosoi. Cardiel explained, "... the insane 540s with no hands, and, just like, all his tricks; he had the ramps, all his ramps, all the ramps he had—I thought that was insane. Tony Hawk's the best."[63]
In an interview for the online series Free Lunch, produced by Hawk's RIDE Channel, professional skateboarder Andrew Reynolds said:
Tony Hawk—he's like, basically, to me it says, "You can be a skater and take over everything and be, you know ... and use skateboarding to be a businessman, a role model to young people," um, he's just the best. And, he called my house when I was fifteen, and was, like, "Do you wanna do something with us?" not knowing anything about me.[64]
In 2012, Reynolds recruited Hawk's son Riley, who was 19 years old at the time, for Reynold's skateboard deck company, Baker.[64]
Hawk often posts on Twitter about encounters he has with people who do not recognize him or wonder if he is truly Tony Hawk. Various publications have speculated about Hawk's motivation:[65]
The cynical among us might argue that as he slides inexorably out of cultural relevancy, Tony Hawk desperately needs to remind us that he's still here, still famous. Others might say he’s trying to communicate that he’s fed up with it all, his stream of tweets a not-so-subtle hint... But no. Tony Hawk... thinks it is the funniest thing in the world, and he will keep thinking it is the funniest thing in the world, and keep tweeting about it, for the rest of his life.[66]
Personal life edit
Relationships edit
In April 1990, Hawk married Cindy Dunbar, whom he began dating in high school. Their son, Riley Hawk, was born on December 6, 1992, and was named after one of Hawk's ancestors.[67] Riley is also a professional skateboarder.[68] Hawk and Dunbar divorced in 1993.[11] Riley is married to Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love.[69]
Hawk was married to Erin Lee from 1996 to 2004.[11] They have two children, born in 1999 and 2001. The older of the two, Spencer, is an electronic music producer who releases music as Gupi.
Hawk was married to Lhotse Merriam from 2006 to 2011.[70] Their wedding was held in Fiji and Rancid played for them as the wedding band.[71][72] The couple's only child was born in 2008.[73]
Hawk married his fourth wife, Cathy Goodman, on June 27, 2015, in a ceremony in Limerick, Ireland.[74]
Interests edit
Besides skateboarding, Hawk's interests include mathematics, physics and technology.[75] Hawk purchased a camcorder in Japan which he had a friend translate the controls for him, and an Amiga 2000 in the late 1980s.[76] NewTek sent him a Video Toaster for his Amiga in exchange for appearing in a promotional video alongside Wil Wheaton and Penn Jillette,[77] which he later used for editing a promotional video for the TurboDuo game Lords of Thunder in 1993.[78][79]
Hawk has also made a mark in the world of NFTs, where he combines cryptocurrency and sports to create digital value. In 2022, he gained widespread attention for launching "The Last Trick Skateboard", an NFT collection under his brand Autograph.
Philanthropy edit
Hawk created the Tony Hawk Foundation in 2002 in response to the lack of safe and legal skateparks in America.[80] As of June 2018, his foundation has awarded US$5.8 million, aiding 596 skatepark projects.[81] In 2015, the foundation received the Robert Wood Johnson Sports award, which honors recipients for their innovative and influential approaches to using sports to build a culture of health in their communities.[82] In 2007, Hawk, Andre Agassi, Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Warrick Dunn, Jeff Gordon, Mia Hamm, Andrea Jaeger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mario Lemieux, Alonzo Mourning, and Cal Ripken Jr. founded the charity Athletes for Hope,[83] an organization that aims to inspire all people to volunteer and support their communities through the actions of professional athletes. In 2020, the Tony Hawk Foundation changed its name to The Skatepark Project to better describe the organization's mission.[84] Since then, Hawk has frequently struggled with keeping his relevancy, often feeling the hardships of making it as a pro-skateboarder at over 50 years of age. With his physical capabilities slowly dwindling, and the idea of possible sponsorships seeming less achievable, he decided to make other financial decisions. In 2012, Hawk decided to invest money into digital currency, Bitcoin. His "fun project" became a big source of income and interest for him.[85]
In 2023, Hawk auctioned a signed photograph of himself and Rick Thorne, with 50% of the proceeds to be donated to the Tyre Nichols Memorial Fund. The fund was created following the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of law enforcement officers. One of the fund's plans involve building a skate park in Nichols' honor.[86]
