Imagine that!

it's in the latest issue...Jeep ad is 3 pages and on the last page, you'll see Tony with his quiver...

there's even a 70's board there too along with the popsicle shape

I like the faux krypto foamie birdhouse. In Cali, I heard tale he rode a longboard to the race. OH THE SCANDAL!

Tony Hawk is owned by marketers. Of course hes got a longboard! Hes got to hit that demographic.

Seems to be working for Hawk. Every time his image appears anywhere somebody posts in this forum.

i love that retro birdhouse

He is definatly not owned by marketers and if you think that you are an idiot.

Yea he gets paid to do ads and things of that nature because he is a legend.

But, HE OWNS everything he skates, so therefore they do not own him, he owns

himself so fcuk off.

Notice how they are ALL Birdhouse boards.

Tony Hawk is a doer...because when all is said and done, a lot more is said, than done

I am glad he put those boards in there...and I hope that his new downhill jam inspires a generation of kids to get off their butts and skate!

Also got the cover of SLAP on that board. Tony Hawk on a longboard is nothing new, he's way ahead of you guys........

lets face it, hawk can pull off pretty much whatever the hell he wants to, because he's tony hawk.

**Hamkins** · 10-28-2006 12:26 PM

Didn't he say a while back he hates downhill? And then he makes DH Jam...And poses with crap longboards...I hate that hipocritical (sp?) goomba.

Sure, like many others here, 'if it wasn't for him I wouldnt be here', but I think it's more down to Activision than him. They would have just locked on to another big skater and still made the same games.

that was from like 99 or 2000
classic stuff...but it took a long time for him to come up with his own set of longboards

**wilder** · 10-28-2006 02:30 PM

Yes you're right, hes a very good skater. And I will accept that he has skills. But if he becomes the face of longboarding I'll puke.
I want to see Bricin Lyons in a downhill video game, or Jim Z.

**Louieb153** · 10-28-2006 05:25 PM

yeah but they've got that tony hawk downhill jam game coming out and he is definintly gonna become the face of longboarding.

Kinda sucks but at least the game will get alot more people into longboarding, also i hope they have Coleman as a player or a unlockable one or something in it.

It would be cool to have someone like that, but instead theyll have Spiderman.
