The skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has had several injuries in his lifetime. However, it’s not that Tony cares about any of them. His passion for skateboarding is certainly beyond any fear of injury. Perhaps this is the reason that at the age of 53, he is still as great a skateboarder as he was 20 years back. tony hawk [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/tony-hawk-1.jpg]NEW YORK – JULY 16: Professional skateboarding legend Tony Hawk participates in a skateboarding demonstration to promote his new radio show, “Tony Hawk’s Demolition Radio” on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Faction Channel at Chelsea Piers July 16, 2004 in New York City. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Getty Images) Tony Hawk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tony-hawk/] is currently recovering from a femur injury that he suffered a couple of weeks ago. Although the doctor suggested him a complete bed rest, the legend is quite adamant about his quick recovery. He has a target in mind and if all goes according to the plan, he’ll be soon back on the skateboard doing his insane tricks. TONY HAWK TALKS ABOUT HIS WORST SKATEBOARDING INJURY In an interview with Jackass star Steve-O, the skateboarding legend revealed the most terrible injury he suffered during his career. Tony recalled the “Loop of Death,” he attempted during an appearance on the MTV’s ‘Wildboyz.’ He said [https://movieweb.com/tony-hawk-worst-skateboarding-injury-jackass/], “The problem was that the starting ramp was too slow, and so I tried to overcompensate on the starting ramp and that sent me into the wrong position for the loop.” READ MORE- “That Cyclist”- Tony Hawk Was Once Shockingly Mistaken for Lance Armstrong by a TSA Agent [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-skateboarding-news-that-cyclist-tony-hawk-was-once-shockingly-mistaken-for-lance-armstrong-by-a-tsa-agent/] Further recalling the incident, he added [https://movieweb.com/tony-hawk-worst-skateboarding-injury-jackass/], “I ended up shooting out through the loop flying through and landing on my hip and my head. I was knocked out and I realized that I shouldn’t have taken the loop for granted. That one was pretty ugly and life-threatening.” A TERRIBLE INJURY INDEED It was not a normal fall, but the skateboarding legend suffered serious physical damage. He broke his thumb, and pelvis, and fractured his skull. The accident was so horrible that he didn’t even want his kids to see him at the moment. The crew member had to carry him on a stretcher to the hospital.

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.

Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>

</figcaption></figure>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Tony Hawk?Â </h2>
What Michael Jordan is to basketball is Tony Hawk to skateboarding. One of the greatest skateboarders of all time, Hawk entertained the audience with his breathtaking skills. Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented '900' skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Tony Hawkâ€™s early life </h2>
Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins. By the age of 16, he became one of the best skateboarders in the world.
<h2 style="text-align: center">All about Tony Hawkâ€™s wife Catherine Goodman and kids</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Hawkâ€™s net worth 2024</h2>
The legendary skateboard did not rest on his laurels as he became a very successful entrepreneur, thereafter. According to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, it stands at $140 million. The skater started a skateboarding company named Birdhouse which produced many boards and accessories for the sport. He started a clothing firm in 1998 that aimed to provide skating clothes for children.

Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk's deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats. By collaborating with the company, both of them launched the video games series 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater' which sold 1.4 billion games to date.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Tony Hawkâ€™s career timeline</h2>
The legendary skateboarder became the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years; likewise, won 70 competitions in his career. Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip.

However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games. Thus, his major career- achievement came when he landed the first-ever documented 900 (skateboarder revolves 900 degrees in the air). Hawk took eleven years to do it and could not hide his excitement after that.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-511497878.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
After all the achievements, Hawk retired from competitive skateboarding but remained an advocate for most of the issues related to the sport. His success didn't stop there as he became the first person to gain approval on the grounds of the White House. The first-ever Hall of Ceremony of Skateboarding happened in 2009 as Hawk got inducted.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611"><figcaption>
<h2 id="node---11759-figcap" style="text-align: center">Tony Hawkâ€™s contract</h2>
</figcaption></figure>

Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk: 2024 Net Worth, Salary, Wife, Achievements and more  via Getty Who is Tony Hawk?Â  What Michael Jordan is to basketball is Tony Hawk to skateboarding. One of the greatest skateboarders of all time, Hawk entertained the audience with his breathtaking skills. Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented &#8216;900&#8217; skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding. Tony Hawkâ€™s early life Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins. By the age of 16, he became one of the best skateboarders in the world. All about Tony Hawkâ€™s wife Catherine Goodman and kids Tony Hawkâ€™s net worth 2024 The legendary skateboard did not rest on his laurels as he became a very successful entrepreneur, thereafter. According to Celebrity Net Worth, it stands at $140 million. The skater started a skateboarding company named Birdhouse which produced many boards and accessories for the sport. He started a clothing firm in 1998 that aimed to provide skating clothes for children. Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk&#8217;s deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats. By collaborating with the company, both of them launched the video games series &#8216;Tony Hawk Pro Skater&#8217; which sold 1.4 billion games to date. Tony Hawkâ€™s career timeline The legendary skateboarder became the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years; likewise, won 70 competitions in his career. Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip. However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He won 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games. Thus, his major career- achievement came when he landed the first-ever documented 900 (skateboarder revolves 900 degrees in the air). Hawk took eleven years to do it and could not hide his excitement after that.  via Getty After all the achievements, Hawk retired from competitive skateboarding but remained an advocate for most of the issues related to the sport. His success didn&#8217;t stop there as he became the first person to gain approval on the grounds of the White House.
