Skateboarding can sometime get a bit rough and crude - but this book is AOK family material. Great pictures.

Finally, a behind the scenes look at my favorite extreme sport figure. Not only do my kids love Tony BUT I LOVE TONY.
He makes it all look so easy, but reading his tour diary gave me a real sense of what its like to be one of the top skateboarders. All those trips and award shows and broken bones and screaming mobs-- and the proud and loving father of his own kids, while bringing so much fun to everyone elses life.
Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I remember Tony from when I was a kid. I used to skate around on my little yellow banana board.
Thanks Tony for so many years of great fun, cool tricks and for the glimpse into your life. Keep it up! And GREAT PHOTOS!!! Sure to please your favorite skateboard fan!

I just bought this book. It's got really cool pictures and Tony tells you all the things he does. He's really busy but gets to have fun riding a stateboard and meeting cool people. I was stoked on his first book and am very happy he did another one. If you are a real Hawk fan you should buy it.

This book is really good. It has a lot of cool color pictures. If you dont like skateboarding dont get this book because it is about skateboarding. Its long too. Get this book.

this book is really great. i bought it because it has many pictures, it is very detailed, and it shows how difficult one day could be for the great Tony Hawk.Tony is a big inspiration to many people including me. So, if your child wants to read something that shows how much work they should put into a day, they should read this book and see how much Tony works for people every day. Anyone who likes skateboarding should buy this book.

The setting of this book is everywhere in the United States like California,Arizona,New York City,and Connecticut.But the setting is probably in California because thats the state that mostly appears in the pages.The conflick of the story is that Tony hardly gets to see his family because he is a professional skateboarder and he is also famous.He is always traveling around the world.Sometimes when he has some extra time in his schedual he can visit his faily for a couple of days.The plot of the story is that it first talked about Tony Hawk's 6 grade teacher.Next he filmed for the movie The New Guy.Tony had to do a stunt on a ramp.Last he went to the ESPN Action Sports and Music Awads where he won an award.

This book displayed an exuberant amount of beauty and color about skateboarding as it is. He has been my idol since I first learned to walk and after reading this book it has brought up my hopes of being a carnie. I beleive whoever reads this book will have the same opinion. It has changed my life's perspective on how tennis players are so awesome!!...
oh by the way, Paige, you're hot
