Who is Tony Hawk? My oldest daughter is standing here castigating me because I don't know who Tony Hawk is.
"Crawl out from under your rock" she says, "even mom knows who Tony Hawk is."
She still hasn't explained who he is. Oh well, I'm officially old now.
Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe,
Old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death. Walt Whitman













to know.

Sports Illustrated recently calculated those holdings. The magazine estimated Hawk's annual take at $10 million and the amount of business he generates at $250 million a year. In the tween-to-teen universe seemingly ruled by the likes of Eminem * and Harry Potter, Tony Hawk is an altogether different advertising weapon - so secretly popular that Ma and Pa America have barely heard of him. How popular? Two recent surveys rank Hawk behind only Michael Jordan among athletes.
