Birdhouse Tony Hawk Tillbrook Skateboard Deck 8.25"

Tony Hawk's pro model for Birdhouse, the brand he founded in 1992 and continues to run.

To talk about Hawk is to talk about the 900 landed at the X Games in 1999, but also about more than three decades of keeping a skateboard company going without selling out.

The artwork is by Alex Tillbrook and plays with the brand's name: a detailed bird skull, in bone tones, on a speckled turquoise background that looks like wet stone. The logo appears in dark lettering near the tail, without spoiling the image.

7-ply hard rock Canadian maple, 8.25 inches wide by 31.75 inches long.

Balanced size, equally at home in street skating, transition, and bowl.
