    About this ebook

    In this young adult autobiography, Tony Hawk shares the stories from his life that have helped him become a skateboarding hero.

    Hawk speaks of being a super-competitive 'demon' child who found peace while on a skateboard. Classmates teased him because of his interest in an 'uncool' sport. Instead of retaliating with violence, he practiced even more. With his story, he will inspire a younger generation of fans to stand up for what they believe in and follow their dreams.

    • 3/5
      This book, as you might expect, is written at about an 8th grade reading level. That's not a bad thing, just the truth. That being said, it is interesting to hear Tony Hawk's history from the source. some good stories in here.
    • 3/5
      Several photographs and caption throughout the entire book enhance the true-life stories Hawk is telling. The Appendix at the end contains lists of Tony’s favorite music, tricks, movies, food, skaters, contests, and skateboarding links on-line.
