All skate, no bored: We talked to Tony Hawk about his 2024 tour

Tony Hawk became the first skater to ever pull off a 900-degree aerial spin.25 years later, he’s still on his board every day.“I skated yesterday and learned a new trick,” the 55-year-old icon told the New York Post on in an exclusive interview.However, rather than just walk the walk, Hawk also talks the talk now, too.Along with fellow extreme pioneer and Bones Brigade member Rodney Mullen, he’s embarking on a two-show ‘ Darkslides and Secret Tapes Tour’ where the pair will stop into New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 4 and Austin’s Moody Theater on Sunday, April 7.“I’ve been friends with Rodney for 40 years, and I feel like we each bring a very different perspective on our careers and our success,” Hawk explained.“He lived on a farm in Florida and grew up skating on a concrete pad. I lived in the surf culture of Southern California and started skating because my brother was a surfer but we found ourselves with kind of the same trajectory and motivations.”At both shows, the legendary duo will chat and share rarely seen videos.“We have a lot of historical footage and stuff that was documented when we were kids and stuff that we didn’t realize at the time but were milestones of our sport,” Hawk said.“You’ll see Rodney’s first kick flips, my first aerials and spins.

Kurt Cobain handpainted Iron Maiden skateboard replicas are being sold by Tony Hawk
Iron Maiden skateboard that was handpainted by Kurt Cobain to raise money for charity.The skateboading legend bought the original version of the skateboard, which features the artwork for Maiden’s album ‘The Killers’, at an auction last year.It was handpainted by Cobain in 1985 and following the auction, Hawk went about tracing its authenticity.Yesterday (February 20), he released a series of replicas of the deck on what would have been Cobain’s 56th birthday as well as prints and stickers of the design, with proceeds going toward raising awareness for mental health and toward building skate parks.A post shared by Tony Hawk (@tonyhawk)Writing on Instagram, Hawk said: “In order to better understand the provenance of this ‘unicorn’ skateboard that I acquired last year, I went to Seattle to get the story directly from Cameron Ross (the original owner).“With inspiration from @thespacewitch [Frances Bean Cobain] and the help of @dupedupe, we are offering a photorealistic version of this deck in the form of actual skateboards, prints and stickers. We kept it real with the original Phillips shape and OG truck-holes, and added KC & JP signatures on the top graphic.“All proceeds from these sales will be equally split between the Jed Foundation and The Skatepark Project in order to provide resources for those struggling with mental health, and to create more public skateparks in underserved areas.
