My hero is Tony Hawk he was born 1969, in the town of San Diego. He is 38 years old and he has a brother Steve. Tony Hawk is a pro skateboarder and he has appeared in the X-games on ESPN. I watch it sometimes on T.V. with my brother.

He is my hero because he inspires me and because I really like skateboarding. I skateboard all the time after school. I made jumps on my driveway out of wooden fence posts. My favorite trick to perform is to popshove it. The kickflip is a difficult trick.

When Tony won his first skate contest, a pro skater named Stacy Peralta liked what she saw and became his sponsor. When Tony turned 14, Stacy asked him if he wanted to turn pro. Tony wasn’t exactly sure, but he checked the pro box and that was that. And that is why Tony Hawk is my hero!!!!
