Tony Hawk’s mom.

Well, that’s who it is. I snapped this shot of her at a NSA contest called the Bluegrass Agression Session in Louiville, Kentucky back in 1989 or so. I had her phone number to get a date do an interview but I decided against it since I asked for it as a goof and though it best not to hassle her. Stupid conscious. Found it again around 2000 and threw it out. OK, nothing to see here. move along.

  1. Is that the one Gator won? I still have that video tape.

  2. Looks kinda like Egghead Jr from Foghorn Leghorn.

  3. Gator did win that contest. Somehow I was able to talk my parents into taking me & a friend to that contest. It was a long-ass drive from our home in Virginia! I barged the decks during practice to shoot photos for my ‘zine & eventually got kicked-off the ramp by Barry Zaritsky for not having credentials.

  4. Chip – what zine? We were probably on the deck together.

  5. She’s originally from Port Angeles, WA, and 30 or 40 years later I lived there for four years. That pretty much makes me Tony’s little brother.

  6. Hi Kilwag,

    I put out a zine titled Edger from 1987 to 1991.

    A funny thing I remember about that contest was how quiet the crowd was. My friend & I were sitting in those fold-out chairs about half-way to the back during the vert contest. We the only people going berzerk for EVERY skater.
