The most famous name in skateboarding, he invented 89 vertical tricks, won more than 70 contests, and even guest-starred as himself on The Simpsons. If you grew up in the 1990s, it is almost impossible for you not to know him. I’ve witnessed the hours that it demands up front: I spent some time around him and his family during a trip to California with my boyfriend – also a pro skateboarder – and it was clear that Hawk is pretty much always on call.īut one other thing was clear: the man really does just love skateboarding. Looking at his Instagram page, it would seem his schedule – speaking on podcasts, juggling meetings, taking trips and visiting events – comes easy to the man who has made a lifelong career from skateboarding.
