Skaters Comments: Tony Hawk is a legend in skateboarding. Tony has won 12 skateboarding world championships, over 8 X-Games Metals, invented over 80 tricks, started over 5 skateboarding related companies and most importantly, he is a family man. All that is what makes him the most recognized skateboarder in the world…that and being the only person to ever land the 900. Tony is now retired from the competition world of skateboarding but he has left his mark. He still continues to skate and do demos he just doesn’t compete anymore.
