The video announcement was played during the mayor’s annual State of the City address on the fifteenth of this month, with Hawk saying that he’ll take part in a “vert showdown” with some of his friends.
Tony Hawk is a household name in the skateboarding community, and his talent and charisma have earned him fans all around the world. He has been a dominant force in the sport for decades, winning countless competitions and inspiring a new generation of skateboarders.
