The man himself, legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, has announced that he’s coming to The Beach for our first ever Jackalope Festival.
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. Hawk is also a philanthropist, and his Tony Hawk Foundation has helped to fund over 600 skate parks across the United States.
