Like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, or Muhammad Ali, Tony Hawk is one of those sporting figures that’s come to define his field. Whether or not the skateboarding pioneer is best known for completing the first 900 or his series of video games remains up for debate, but he’s still a legend of the ramp.
With the release of ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4’ later this month (July 11, 2025), follow in the footsteps of Birdman and start your skateboarding journey with free skate sessions at Shredenhams. The former Debenhams department store turned skatepark is hosting the ultimate launch party on Saturday, July 12.
