5.0 out of 5 starsMoms get this for your kids!
By A Customer on September 24, 2002
Format: Paperback
My oldest son is 15 years old, and he loves Tony's books Occupation Skateboarder. The problem was that my 8 year old wanted to read the book too, but it was too hard for her. Thankfully, Tony came out with Tony Hawkk Professional Skateboarder which is an easier to read version. She read it all by herself one Saturday---I can never get her to read! When she was done my 15 years old read it--there were new photos and stories, he was so happy. Thanks, Tony, for getting my kids to read.

By A Customer on December 11, 2002
Format: Paperback
There is nothing in this book that is improper for children. This is a book specifically designed for young readers with no foul language and nothing indecent. Tony is a very moral and respectable person and a great role model for children.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Tony Hawk : Professional Skateboarder" A Skater's Point of View
A Kid's Review on November 28, 2005
Format: Paperback
Tony Hawk: Professional Skateboarder was a great autobiography. Tony Hawk is the main person. He talks about his life from when he was a baby through his adult hood with ups and downs of his skateboarding career.

Tony Hawk wouldn't be a successful pro skateboarder if it weren't for his brother. He introduced Tony to skating at age 9. Once Tony was really into skateboarding, he became pro. In the summer of 1999 Tony Hawk landed the 900.He was the fist person to ever land that. You have to spin fully around 2 ½ times. Tony made history in skateboarding. He is a great role model and gives skateboarding a good name.

I thought this book was great and if you are smart about skateboarding history, you will connect to a lot of things in this novel. This book is for all ages. I enjoyed it, and if you like skateboarding, you will like it too. If you don't like skateboarding, you might learn stuff about skating. Also, you might get interested in skateboarding. Now enough about the book review, read Tony Hawk: Professional Skateboarder.

5.0 out of 5 starsTony Hawk Professional Skateboarder - Great Book
A Kid's Review on February 26, 2007
Format: Paperback
I like the book because when I read it it helped me land new tricks. I learned a lot about Tony Hawk. He would never give up and he would always try to land tricks no matter what. He wanted to get better and that told me that it doesn't matter how much pain you are in when you land it. It is all worth it because now you have a new trick. He also did not let what other people thought influence him. He wanted to be a skateboarder when it was not cool, but he did not care. He knew what he liked to do and did it.

After I read the book, I was all pumped up. Whenever I would go to the gap I would always try to land this trick that I couldn't do and then after I read the book I said to myself it is worth it no matter how bad I fell just get up unless you break something, and after I said that then I went for it and did my all, and I landed the trick on my third try and from there on I have been landing all of my tricks and become a better skateboarder.

I think that every skateboarder should read this book because it will inspire them a lot like it has inspired me. Before I read this book I thought that Tony Hawk was just a pro skateboarder and I thought that he wasn't that good. When I read this book that my friend recommended, I said to him that I didn't like Tony Hawk that much, and he said just read it. So I went to the libary and checked it out. Then, I got into it. I found out that he wasn't a poser or a loser that he all he wanted to do was get kid skateboarders into it and to teach them and help them out with their skating. Because of all his success, he is able to do a lot to help kids all over the world. He is a cool guy and this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat biography for middle schoolers
By Kristen Raymond on March 5, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bought this book to add to my classroom library for a "Remarkable People" biography unit for my 6th graders. Five of my students have read this book now and it is still being passed around. It's often difficult to find biographies that really grab the attention of 6th graders--this one definitely does!

4.0 out of 5 starsTony Hawk's Autobiography
By Collin Kingery on October 3, 2005
Format: Paperback
Tony Hawk: Professional Skateboarder

By Tony Hawk

When Tony Hawk was still a young boy, his older brother gave him his first skateboard. This was the beginning of a skateboarding star. Tony became a professional skateboarder at the early age of 14. I chose to read this autobiography on Tony Hawk because as a fan of Tony, I am interested in the sport of skateboarding and am amazed by how many accomplishments Tony has made in his life because of skateboarding. For Tony, skateboarding was an activity that shaped his life and helped him succeed.

Tony Hawk was not an ordinary child growing up. When he picked up the sport of skateboarding, he had so much energy. He had a lot of determination that came out whenever he was doing anything that had to do with competition. His parents encouraged him and were supportive from the start. This support of his parents helped him follow his dreams and become what he is today, a professional skateboarder.

Skating taught him the meaning of focus and perseverance. If at first he did not succeed, he would try and try again. He would get hurt many times trying to learn new tricks. He knocked out his front teeth more than twice. Getting hurt didn't bother him because he knew he sometimes had to pay a price to learn a new trick, and once he landed the new trick, he knew that all that pain was worth it.

The more time he spent on the skateboard, the more it built up his confidence. It didn't bother him that he wasn't the popular guy at school, or that he didn't have many friends or a girl friend, all he cared about was being with other skaters at the park and having fun learning new tricks. When Tony was growing up, skateboarding was unpopular and it was considered a geeky thing to do that only weirdo's and nerds did.Read more ›
