  • Tony Hawk Rad Science

    What does the study of Physics have to do with Tony Hawk? Everything, actually. From the force of gravity and velocity to inertia and balance, all of these factors make his amazing tricks possible.

    From May 26 to September 3, Tony Hawk will join forces with science for the
    exhibit entitled Tony Hawk | Rad Science at UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science museum.
    During a special premiere event on June 2 Hawk will be hand to help kick off summer with an exclusive skate demo.

    The exhibit will feature more than 20 interactive experiences including everything from Tony's 900 Vert Theater to footage of his first-ever 900. Other exhibits will feature the evolution of the skateboard and a street course on a stationary board that tests your balance with tricks like grinds and manuals.

    "Physics relates to everything that we do," said Berkeley physics professor Joel Fajans. "This cool new exhibition shows how a visit to a local skatepark can demonstrate important physics principles."

    Tony talks about how math and science have helped him succeed in this video:

  • Three generations of Vert skaters on display in Venice Beach


    The unique vert contest featured three generations of skateboarders teaming up to compete in four mini contests. In front of a solid crowd on the famed Venice Beach boardwalk the team of Tony Hawk, Andy Macdonald, and Mitchie Brusco took first place at the first-ever Sonic Generations of Skate.

    Tony Hawk(43) and Andy Mac(38) have both been competing long before than their third teammate (14) Mitchie was even born. During the doubles competition Tony and Andy showed the chemistry we've seen several times before when Tony did a tail stall on Andy's board while he was doing a 50-50 grind. Maybe more impressive was the simultaneous flip dismounts on to the deck of the half-pipe by the two guys with a combined age of 81.

    It was business as usual for Tony and Andy but for Mitchie the permanent smile from ear to ear summed up what he was feeling all day, "This was the most fun contest I've ever skated in my life."

    Sandro Dias delivered the highlight of the day during the best trick competition when he unleashed the 900, a trick that is rarely landed in competition.

    The contest included four competitions (individual runs, high air, team triples and best trick) featuring teams that had skaters representing each generation.


    The teams finished in the following order:

    First Place: Tony Hawk (first generation), Andy Macdonald (second generation), Mitchie Brusco (third generation)
    Second Place: Kevin Staab (first generation), Sandro Dias (second generation), Paul-Luc Ronchetti (third generation)
    Third Place: Steve Caballero (first generation), Pierre Luc Gagnon (second generation), Elliot Sloan (third generation)
    Fourth Place: Sergie Ventura (first generation), Lincoln Ueda (second generation), Adam Taylor (third generation)
