 Tony Hawk is nicknamed "The Birdman" because of his high-level skateboarding skills.

Let's learn a little about his background, achievements, and life.

Tony Hawk, born on May 12, 1968, in San Diego, California, is a renowned American professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He began skateboarding at the age of nine when his older brother gifted him a blue fiberglass skateboard. By 14, Hawk turned professional, and at 16, he was considered the best competitive skateboarder globally. He dominated the National Skateboard Association world championships for 12 consecutive years. 

In 1999, Hawk achieved a significant milestone by completing the first documented "900" skateboarding trick, a 2.5-revolution aerial spin. That same year, he launched the highly successful "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" video game series, which has since expanded to multiple titles. 

Beyond skateboarding, Hawk founded the Skatepark Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding public skateparks in underserved communities. He continues to skate regularly, maintaining an active lifestyle. At 56, Hawk has adopted a healthier lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, leading to improved endurance and overall health. 

Hawk is also embracing his role as a grandfather to Ronin, the son of his eldest child, Riley Hawk, and Frances Bean Cobain. He expresses a desire for Ronin to grow up happy, without pressure from the family's legacy. 

Throughout his career, Tony Hawk has significantly influenced skateboarding culture and remains an active figure in the sport and related philanthropic efforts.
