The Legend
Tony Hawk is considered one of the most successful modern vertical skateboarders. He has invented many skateboard tricks including the Stalefish, Madonna and over 80 others. His most famous trick is the 900 where he is able to do two and a half rotations (900 degrees) in the air before landing back on the pipe! Although he is officially retired from skateboarding, he is still extremely busy with his own film company, clothing line, video games and action sports tour. He even has a roller coaster based upon his skateboarding, called Tony Hawk's Big Spin. There is no athlete more extreme than Tony Hawk! (Photo Credit: Dennis Poroy, AP)
