Tony Hawk is a legend...does anyone know how he became a professional skateboarder?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here's an interview with Hawk where at about 1:15 he talks about how he got started:

His complete biography can be found here:

You may be interested in the movie "Lords Of Dogtown":

This biofilm describes the start of skateboarding as a sport. The story includes Stacy Peralta. Petalta signed Hawk when he was 14 and started his career.

Just like anything else, it takes practice. The more you practice the better you become and the more likely you are to succeed.
