Tony Hawk, also known as 'Birdman,' knew from an early age that he was special. Using skateboarding as an outlet for his excess energy, he became a professional skateboarder by age fourteen. He then went on to be named the National Skateboard Association world champion for twelve consecutive years. Among other notable 'firsts,' Tony Hawk became the first skateboarder to land a '900' trick, earning him the title as the pioneer of modern vertical skateboarding. Although he is known for his skateboarding, he is also an accomplished businessman, philanthropist, and founder of the Skatepark Project, which builds skateparks in underprivileged neighbourhoods. Young readers can learn more about the man who ushered in the era of modern skateboarding in this exciting book.
