Anthony Frank "Tony" Hawk (born May 12, 1968 in Carlsbad, California) is one of, if not the most, recognizable skateboarders of all time. He is considered the pioneer of modern vertical skateboarding. Hawk's nickname is the "Birdman". He was the first person to perform many tricks, but is most famous for being the first to land the 900 (two and a half complete rotations in the air before landing back on the pipe).

Early life

---

Introduced to boarding by his brother Steve, Hawk proved to be a prodigy. He turned pro at 14 for Powell Peralta as a member of Stacy Peralta's Bones Brigade, still finishing high school at Torrey Pines High School near Del Mar in San Diego. He was the third skateboarder to have a pro model shoe, produced by Airwalk.
