Summary: If your a skateboarder that can read, check out this book!
Review: This is definetely a must. Did you know that Tony Hawk was a Devil as a child, unpoular at school, and didn't really care when he went pro? This book is loaded with TONS of info. that you wouldn't dream Tony Hawk would ever be involved with.(Like speeding down the interstate at 90mph in a van that has its dashboard lit on fire!) If you are a skater that likes Tony, (or a poser) then get this book! It rules! (Just skate)

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I've been skateboarding since I was 7 and I've always looked up to Tony Hawk. I was so happy when he released this book. You get to read all about his life from when he was born up until now. Tony Hawk is a great skater, and he's very nice too (I met him at a skate demo last year). This is a great read for anyone who likes skateboarding.

Summary: Tony Hawk Occupation Skateboarder
Review: Tony Hawk-Occupation Skateboarder obviously a book about a skateboarder but its more than that. Its a realy fun book to read. Its got every thing from the first time he rode a skateboard that his brother gave him up to his first sexual experience. In the book he'll tell you what its like to go on tour with a bunch of 18 year old skateboarders and what its like these days as a grown up. Its not just a book for skaters any body could enjoy this book. Its got lots of funny storys in it one or two sad but all and all its a great book.

Summary: Tony Hawk is the "Rudy" of Skateboarding
Review: Tony Hawk has done it all, the loop, the 900, the building jump, the video game, and now the book! Tony Hawk has been my idol since I was nine years old. I remember when I saw him land the 900, I was nearly crying! So when his book came out, I may have been the first to reserve a copy. And the last to review it. I have read the book three times now, and the review should be easy. This book is good for anybody who likes true storys with good morals like never give up. That is really what this story is about. It reminds me so much of the movie "Rudy" because they have so much in common. But Tony had a little more support than Rudy did and he got a little more of a reward. Tony always wanted to be a skater, Rudy always wanted to football player. Rudy was to short, Tony was too thin and they both got told that. Rudy didn't have the grades to get into a college, and skateboarding was about as popular as being a professonal frisbee thrower (that was a line from the book) and the punk era was "out." But in the end, they both come out good. Rudy does QB tackle, and Tony becomes a multi-millionare. So they are very similar, but Tony had a little more support because his dad was about his biggest supporter, Rudy's dad didn't do jack-diddely-squat to help. And after reading the book, one can only hope for a movie...

Summary: The evolution of skateboarding and the skater
Review: Late in the 1980's I was flipping through the channels on my way to Nickeloden's Double Dare(to watch with my kids) when my eye was caught by athletes swooping and soaring on a halfpipe structure. ESPN had just begun broadcasting the sport and along with Christian Hosoi and Mike McGill was a storklike young man, Tony Hawk. My kids watched for a minute, but I was captivated. Cut to 1999, and a much more mature Hawk has just completed the 900, the Holy Grail of skateboard tricks...in front of a crowd of over 20,000. Of all the early stars of the sport, he is one of the few, if not the only to have continued to compete. This is his story. How a young, hyperenergetic child was able to catch the beginning of a sport and ride it through the many ups and downs, until retiring on his own terms. This is also a great look into the life of a California boy in the 70's and 80's, supported by parents who indulged and supported his growing passion. You meet a unforgettable cast of fellow skaters, get a bird's eye view of the evolution of skateboarding as a sport, and revenue maker. Written in a scattered style of conversation with friends, this is full of stories and photos and bits of background that will delight the skateboard fan.

Summary: tony hawk is a sellout!
Review: I can' t believe everyone likes Tony Hawk. He is such a sellout. What kind of skateboarder has a book about himself. Have you seen the commercials he has been in. I mean tarzan, come on! Also a game about himself all because he landed a stupid trick once or twice( a 900).Sure I could see a book about a person who invented electricity, or discovered something that changed the world. I just don`t like TONY HAWK!

Summary: Skateboarding
Review: Tony Hawks bio is a very good book because it has a lot of pictures and it has very good details of what it is like to be a skater (skateboarder) in the 80's-90's. This book is about a skater who was a skater in the 80's who was made fun of because he was a skateboarder but as the years went by skating became very popular and Tony Hawk popularity went up. Skateboarding had its good years and it bad years and this book is about being a skater during the years. This is a good book if you like to skateboard or want to learn to live like one. This book is for anyone who likes to skateboard.

Summary: A Skateboarders Bible
Review: Tony Hawk is, (emphasis on the 'is') the greatest skater that has ever lived. No person could ever acheive what he has in Skateboarding and this book prooves my point. He has invented hundreds of tricks and is still the only person to have pulled off the 900 not mentioning the fact that he and his father have literally made skateboarding what it is today across the globe. The book is a skateboarders bible. The book affacted me a great deal and in a way it has changed my attitude towards skating and even life itself to some extent. Favourite Part of the Book has to be his tour with Birdhouse and the making of The End video. Even those of you out there who dont posess a skateboard will find it easy to appreciate this fantastic autobiography.
