- The father of four and husband of one, Tony Hawk is arguably the single most influential skateboarder of all time. Born and raised in the hazy daze of Southern California, Tony has forgotten more tricks than most people learn in a lifetime, and his contributions to the sport are endless -- most recently, unearthing skateboarding's holy grail by becoming the only person to successfully land a 900°.- IMDb Mini Biography By: GLLee90298@yahoo.com

- Is the first person in skateboarding history to do 'The 900' skateboarding trick.
- As of September 2001, still the only skateboarder to pull off a 900 in competition, which he has done multiple times.
- Is the first skateboarder to do 'The 900' skateboarding trick, which requires two and half turns in the air on a vert ramp. He is the first and only skateboarder to date who has successfully done this trick. He has done 'The 900' over 15 times.
- Has been a professional skateboarder since he was 15.
- His all-time favorite movie is The Big Lebowski (1998).
- Father of Riley Hawk, who helped Ashton Kutcher play a practical joke on Tony for Punk'd (2003). The elder Hawk grounded his son for the prank.
- I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality.
- I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.
- I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.
- I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization.
- Technology has allowed me to reach my fans directly. Social media: it has been a complete revolution of how to interact, promote and share things.
