Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is auctioning his iconic Falcon 2 deck, used for the first-ever 900 spin at the 1999 X Games, to fund skatepark development in underprivileged areas. The board is expected to raise significant bids, supplementing The Skatepark Project's mission of promoting public skateparks across America.
Skateboarding icon Tony Hawk is set to auction his iconic Falcon 2 deck, famously used to achieve the first-ever 900 spin during the 1999 X Games, in a move aimed at funding the construction of skateparks in underserved communities.
The unparalleled moment in his career not only pushed skateboarding into mainstream popularity but also marked the best day of Hawk's professional life, as fans cheered him on after numerous failed attempts at the complex trick, executed in front of thousands at the X Games.
Other auctioned memorabilia will include Hawk's helmet, knee pads, and bronze medal from the same event, with proceeds benefiting The Skatepark Project, Hawk's non-profit that has granted over $13 million towards building nearly 700 public skateparks across the U.S., ultimately reaching an estimated 17 million enthusiasts annually.
