Editors’ Pick, The GOAT of Skateboarding: Tony Hawk San Diego native Tony Hawk, the legendary skateboarder, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, turned pro at just 14 years old, was crowned vertical skating’s world champion 12 years in a row, and landed the first 900 at the X Games. He co-founded Birdhouse Skateboards and Hawk Clothing, launched the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game franchise (one of the most popular game franchises in history), and continues to perform worldwide (as photographed here at his skate ramp in Vista in April 2025). The Tony Hawk Foundation has awarded more than $13 million in grants to 660+ skateparks, making him an enduring icon in action sports and youth advocacy.
