Notable:
Although Tony doesn't officially compete any longer, he doesn't seem to have any problem maintaining his spot in the limelight. Tony's latest endeavor is the "secret" skatepark tour, where he and other pros show up at various skateparks around the country unannounced during the summer. A major icon, even outside of the industry, Tony is skateboarding's mainstream ambassador. There is now even a Tony Hawk Day in Springfield, OR (April 30).
