There are skateboarding legends and then there is Tony Hawk.
Even though Hawk no longer competes in the X-Games, he still skates daily and keeps cranking out cool video games, including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360), a high-definition remake of some of his classic games (Read USA Today’s review).
Bottom line: “The Birdman” remains a leader and an icon in his sport, so it’s always interesting to hear what he has to say. Check out this Q&A, which also includes video, of Hawk and John Gaudisio of GamerLive.TV discussing the superstar’s video games (there are now 12!) and how video games have fueled interest in extreme sports.
