Tony Hawk’s Final Ride On His Very First Skateboard

Thursday, June 27, 2013

After years of professional skateboarding, Tony Hawk reminisces and takes his first ever skateboard out for one last ride before it’s sent to Washington, D.C. to display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

“Before sending my first skateboard to forever live at Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, I rode it one last time. Bearings that are nearly 40 years old are pretty slow, but at least it stayed in one piece.”
