Tony Hawk Full Booklet “THE BIRDMAN” A Biography of Tony Hawk Introduction Hawk was born in Carlsbad, Cali- fornia to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk and was raised in San Diego, Cali- fornia. When Hawk was young, he was described as being “hyperactive,” and his mother says that he was “so hard on himself and expected himself to do so many things.” One time, Tony struck out in baseball and was so distraught that he hid in a ravine and had to be “physically coaxed out” by his father. His frustration with himself was so harsh that his par- ents had him psychologically evaluated at school. The results were that Tony was “gifted,” he tested with an I.Q. of 144, and school advisors recommended plac- ing him in advanced classes. Given his first board at the age of 9, Hawk was a pro His parents supported his skate- by 14 and a multiple title-holder and champion by the boarding because it served as an outlet time he graduated from high school in 1986. for his excessive energy, and as Hawk’s skills developed, he became a profes- sional skateboarder at age fourteen and was the National Skateboard Association world champion for twelve consecutive years. “Big decisions in my life have always come easy and are made without hesitation. It is easier for me to make a life-changing decision than to decide what to get for dessert.” ii 1 further by landing a no-handed 900.[4] Simon cessfully land the trick during press interviews The 900 Tabron’s signature trick is the 900.

They were all white women, punkers in leath- er jackets and ripped jeans who exuded the ultimate in cool. I thought of my brother as a rock star in his ability to attract so many edgy, beautiful women in a racial category that I knew at the age of nine was out of our family’s league. As unique as I thought my brother’s power of attraction to be, I learned later that numerous Asian stars rocked the stage in my brother’s world of skateboarding. A community of intoxicatingly rebellious Asian and Pacific Islander men thrived during the 1970s and 1980s within a skater world almost always characterized as white, if not blatantly racist. These men’s positioning becomes particularly notable during an era documented as a time of crippling emas- culation for Asian American men.

  • THF-2008-Annual-Report
    PAVING THE WAY 2008 ANNUAL REPORT TO HEALTHY COMMUNITIES Letter From The Founder 2008 flew past and we are stronger than ever. Even in a shaky economy, we’ve been able to help create more public skateparks in low-income areas than in previous years. It’s all thanks to the tireless work of our staff and our generous donors. But plenty of communities are still in need, and we hope to continue making the same positive differences in their lives as we have with our previous grant recipients. Orcas Island, Washington In 2008, we managed to raise over 1.5-million dollars at our Stand Up For Skateparks events, and we even hosted our first East Coast event in The Hamptons. But our mission is far from over. In fact, what we’ve learned this year is just how great the need for our assistance remains. In 2008 we awarded 668,516 dollars to 59 communities (compared to $525,500 to 53 communities in 2007). That’s a 27-percent increase in grant funding over 2007. Which brings us to 409 grants worth over 2.7-million dollars to help build skateparks since our inception in 2002. Tony Hawk flies over the Nathan Lazarus Skatepark in Nederland, Colorado I cannot stress enough the importance of skateparks in high-risk areas—they offer kids a safe place to go and something to do that gives them a sense of self-esteem they may never find anywhere else. This is especially true when those very kids are the ones petitioning the city with the hope of getting their own place to skate.

The thesis is divided into two parts – a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part introduces the definition of a subculture, its features and functions. This part further describes American society in the fifties which provided preconditions for the emergence of new subcultures. The practical part analyzes the origin and development of skateboarding subculture which was influenced by changes in American mass culture. The end of the practical part includes an interconnection between the values of American society and skateboarders. Anotace Tato práce analyzuje vznik a vývoj skateboardové subkultury, která vznikla v padesátých letech v Kalifornii. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí – teoretické a praktické.
