Tony Hawk is the latest guest on the SPIN Presents Lipps Service podcast, during which he discusses his remarkable journey from a child skateboarder to becoming the most recognizable name in the sport, including turning pro at the age of 14, buying a house while he was still in high school and landing the iconic 900 trick in 1999.
Hawks and host Scott Lipps also talk about guest starring on The Simpsons, the creation of the Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Project) and the iconic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game series.
