Tony Hawk, Pro Skater, talks with http://maxflowertv.com/ about what inspired him to establish his foundation. The Tony Hawk Foundation helps collaborate resources and funding to build skate parks for at-risk youth, inner cities, and lower income areas. Tony’s inspiration began about 10 years ago, when he then realized skateparks were typically only built in wealthy communities, and many of them still lacked substantially in design. Tony’s vision is to bring great skateparks to the people that need them most. Distributed by Tubemogul.
The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.
"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."
