Tony Hawk & Crew In The Backyard

Fri, 09/14/2012

Skateboard legend and Quiksilver athlete Tony Hawk has built quite the name for himself in the sport. Along the way down his massive career path he has been able to ammass a rather cushy setup on the homefront. This happens to include one of the best backyard skate parks in existance, but that should be no surprise as The Birdman and his son Riley both skateboard professionally and can probably claim the park as a tax write-off considering it is more or less "office space" for the two.

The other cool thing about having a private setup in your yard, is that whenever you get the urge you can just invite over all your pro buddies for a good ol' uninterrupted session. Tony recently took the opportunity to skate around with the flip crew, which includes among others Hurley protege Curren Caples who has taken the skate scene by storm recently and I will certainly take any chance I can get to talk about.

So watch below as the boys endulge in a little backyard fun while being documented by the likes of Analog icon Arto Saari, which is never a bad thing as the guy pretty much photographs as well as he skates. When you are finished make sure you head down to your friendly neighborhood Spareparts where you can load up on all the latest and greatest for the Fall of 2012 from great brands like Quiksilver, Analog and Hurley
