“Never Ever Use These… to Make Clones”: Legend Tony Hawk Has Blood Relation With 100 Lucky Fans Who Bought His Special Skateboards Back in 2021

The Birdhouse owner Tony Hawk is one of the most prominent names in the skateboarding realm. His journey in the sports world began at a very young age. Tony turned into a household name and a significant skateboarder when he was only 16. The legend announced his retirement from professional skateboarding in 2003. 

Even so, his popularity in the field didn’t scale down. Fans and followers are still enthusiastic about him, given his vibrant personality. Almost a year ago, the superstar became a brand ambassador for Liquid Death, which is a canned-water company. Soon after that, they made use of Tony’s blood to paint skateboards and sold it to 100 lucky fans.

Tony Hawk used his blood 

Tony Hawk is an inspirational figure for every skateboarding aficionado. He is the master of several tricks and techniques in the sport. Birdman was 43-year-old when he did a 900 and posted a video about the same via Twitter. His achievements and accomplishments are one of the reasons why people admire him. 

The athlete joined hands with Liquid Death for collaboration and produced 100 skateboards for his die-hard fans. They coated the skateboards with a mixture of red paint and Tony’s blood. Both the star and the company posted a video that captured an expert taking out blood from the skateboarder’s veins. 

Liquid Death also added a disclaimer that read, “Although it could arguably make the world a better place, never ever use these boards to make clones of Tony Hawk.”

Fans did not take much time to order all the 100 skateboards. It was just a matter of a few clicks. The skateboard had a red bloody look and words on top “MURDER YOUR THIRST” followed by “just like Tony Hawk.”

The company made it clear through Instagram that the blood was sterilized before putting it into use. They manufactured the boards in California, Tony Hawk’s birthplace. In addition to that, everyone who bought the skateboard got a certificate of authenticity. 

What does Tony have to say about the skateboards?

Tony Hawk went beyond his limits to make fans happy this time. In the official video, the athlete talked about the procedure and how everything started. 

“So, they’re gonna mix my blood into the paint and do a limited run of skateboards using my real blood,” the icon said.

Towards the end of the video, Hawk sarcastically warned fans to not take advantage of the DNA present in the blood. “Wait, if you have my blood, that means you have my DNA,” said Tony Hawk. “No clones.”
