{{expand section|date=May 2025}}
Tony Hawk is a trailblazer in vertical, or "[[Vert skateboarding|vert]]", skateboarding, and remains one of the most iconic figures in the sport's history. He got his first skateboard at age nine, a gift from his older brother, and by 12, he was already dominating amateur competitions across [[California]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tony Hawk |url=https://californiamuseum.org/inductee/tony-hawk/ |access-date=2025-04-10 |website=California Museum }}</ref>

Turning professional at just 14, Hawk quickly rose to the top; by 16, he was widely recognized as the best competitive skateboarder in the world. By the age of 25, he had entered 103 professional [[Competition|contests]], winning 73 and finishing second in 19—a staggering record that may never be matched. He also held the title of National Skateboard Association vert skating world champion for an unprecedented 12 consecutive years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IN THE BEGINNING |url=https://www.tonyhawk.com/in-the-beginning |access-date=2025-04-10 |website=Official Tony Hawk website}}</ref>

Tony pioneered late-grab airs – which a few early grabbing pros called cheating at the time – and [[Invention|invented]] over 100 [[Skateboarding trick|tricks]], including the backside Ollie to tail, varial, frontside hurricane, rodeo flip, stalefish, and Ollie 540.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Todd |date=2020-04-18 |title=Tony Hawk SHoF 2009 |url=https://skateboardinghalloffame.org/shof-2009/tony-hawk-2009/ |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum |language=en-US}}</ref>
