More quotes by Tony Hawk
I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there's so much that that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.
Tony Hawk
I think skateboarding is hugely challenging - it teaches you self-confidence, it teaches you self-motivation, and it can be something that helps you throughout your life.
Tony Hawk
When your daughter asks you to be a fairy for her 5th birthday party... you better be a damned fairy.
Tony Hawk
For those that say I endanger my child: it's more likely that you will fall while walking on the sidewalk than I will while skating with my daughter.
Tony Hawk
I started skateboarding at around age 10, and enjoyed the artistic aspect of it as much as the sporting aspect, so for me it was more of an art form and a lifestyle.
Tony Hawk
The biggest lesson I learned from my dad is to support children even if they're doing something that is unorthodox.

I played team sports, but I never felt like I fitted in that well, so this allowed me to be part of a community but to do it in my own way.
Tony Hawk
I never imagined getting to do what I love for a living and having so many people appreciate it. There was only one other skater in my high school and we were the lowest form of cool. Our classmates couldn't figure out why we liked such a loser sport, or why we hadn't grown out of it yet.
Tony Hawk
My definition of success is doing what you love. I feel many people do things because they feel they have to, and are hesitant to risk following their passion.
Tony Hawk
Big decisions in my life have always come easy and are made without hesitation. It is easier for me to make a life-changing decision than to decide what to get for dessert.
Tony Hawk
Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.
