Tony Hawk Wins The All ’80s Day Vert Challenge

Legendary pro skaters from the ’80s, including Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Kevin Staab & Mike McGill took center stage in Orlando for the Quiksilver All ’80s All Day Vert Challenge during Surf Expo at the Orange County Convention Center.



The day’s events will also feature a twist on the usual best trick jam session – the announcers will pick ten tricks from the ’80s and the skaters will compete for prize money associated with each trick. The announcer will decide on his favorite version of the trick during the competition, including “best version,” “worst version,” “heaviest slam” and others. Fans can submit their favorite ’80s tricks for the jam session to ShredOrDie.

Tony Hawk Skates The White House

Tony Hawk Skates The Halls Of The White House / courtesy twitpic

We were following the twitter stream of @tonyhawk today and came across this twitpic of Tony doing a manual down the halls of the white house. It appears that Tony was at the White House today for Cnn’s First Fathers event. Apparantly Ashtun Kutcher sent this tweet to Tony which basically called him out to skateboard in the white house.

With the permission of the White House officials, Tony Hawk skated the grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building. Hawk also sent out a few other tweets from today like “The Prez addressing all of us fathers before we split up to visit DC charities,” and “D Wade & Etan T make me feel short.”

How Tony Hawk spends his family vacation to Japan...skating

While on a family vacation to Japan, we (Riley, my brother Steve and I) decided to break out and find the nearest skatepark. Kyoto is not an easy place to get around by train... especially when you don't read or speak Japanese.

I was lucky enough to be invited as one of the athletes featured in the Guitar Hero: World Tour commercial, along with Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps. I managed to catch Michael in between takes (the other guys did their shoot the day before us) and ask him what he's been doing since breaking all Olympic records in Beijing. And yes, we danced around in our underwear just like Tom Cruise in Risky Business... but that's beside the point.
