"Tony Hawk : Professional Skateboarder" A Skater's Point of View

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.

A wonderful book

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.

Moms get this for your kids!

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.
