Hi what up tony? i have all 4 of your games and i am waiting for tony hawk underground to come out. please put this on your "q and a" page! i heard its been hard to get on there. anyway, i got a question: why did you choose skadeboarding instead of other sports, like BMX, or roller blading? thanks!

Q. Hey Tony, Thanks a lot for answering my e-mail. I know you are very busy doing all of your demos and probably practicing for BBHJ but I was wondering if you would answer a few questions. 1) Do you think that BBHJ will be better this year than last year? A. I guarantee it - our routines are way more elaborate, the flow is better and we have a loop this year. 2) Do you enjoy being around all of the people that you have for BBHJ? A. Yes - they are an amazing group to travel with. 3) Are you glad that you are doing BBHJ again? A. Definitely - I can't wait. -Tony Thank you so much, Brian C
Q. i really want to get on the q&a page so tony hears my 3 questions 1 why did u have to get that meatel in ur arm? A. Because I broke a piece of my elbow (off the humerus bone) and it had to be screwed back into place. 2 were did u get ur first skateboard/ at what store A. My first was a hand-me-down from my older brother, and my second was from a sales bin at JC Penney's. 3 will u ever in 3 or less years come to winnipeg canada? A. I am not sure, but it is a definite possibility. -Tony thats the end thxs for ur time i love u tony ... in the right way cody thompso
Q. Hi Tony, I have a couple of questions i hope you can answer. 1. Does it matter at what age you start skating? I started skating at the age of 15, and I really love to skate, I skate from the heart, so am i doing the right thing. A. It doesn't matter too much, but I think you're on the right track. Starting at an older sometimes makes for a slower learning curve. 2. Do you think if I put alot of time and effort to skating, that one day I can turn pro? turning pro is my dream, an I would like to be a good role model like you. A. I believe so, but it can't be your only motivation for skating. You've got to do it because you truly enjoy it and continue to challenge yourself. 3. I'm Mexican, I would really like to know if you know any pro who is mexican like me. It would really help and inspire me. A. There are plenty of pros that are Hispanic that live in the U.S. I don't know any that are pro and living in Mexico, but I'm sure there are skaters in Mex that are of professional quality and haven't had a chance to become recognized (yet). -Tony Thanks Tony, and thank you for bringing skating to my life. You are my role model and skating has changed my life for the better and has given me a future. P.S. You and Rodney Mullen are the two greatest skateboarders of all time and will forever be the best skaters the world has seen. Edgar A. Chapa
Q. I was watching the bones brigade video show and i was just wondering which boards do u like better, the old boards you use in that video or the ones that everybody uses today? A. I like the ones I use today - there is a good reason the shapes have changed since then: functionality. -Tony -NIcole friedman
December 5, 2003 Q. Hello! I met you at the HuckJam stop at Columbus. Very nice of you to chat that late at night. Thanks! Awesome show, and I feel very lucky to have witnessed the 900. Great job :) And you look much taller in person... how does your height affect your riding? Does it hinder or help some tricks? Just curious. Have a great Thanksgiving. A. I've never noticed a difference, but I grew up as a runt and learned to adapt my style once I got taller. I suppose it helps for certain things, but it makes it difficult to ride smaller transitions. -Tony Christine Szymanski
Q. What's goin' on Tony? I'm one of ya biggest fan! I totally love watching ya doin' ya tricks in tv! By the way, I totally enjoyed the (TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND) PS2 game!! I've completed the story mode. It was so AWESOME!!! Was Stacy Peralta your first sponsor? A. No, he was my second - right after Dogtown. Who is eric sparrow? A. A guy we made up for the game.

Q. hi Tony! I was at the Wasington D.C. booom boom huck jam(Maybe you heard me I cheered and yelled go tony! everytime you were up! I was wondering how do you choose what tricks how to do at the Boom Boom Huck Jam? A. We try to stick to tricks that we know we can make every time for the doubles routines, and then try harder stuff during the open jams. The best stuff happens when the flow is good and the crowd is into it. And Boom Boom huck Jams a cool name how did you think of it? A. We HUCK ourselves into the air, it's a JAM format (not a competition), and sometimes we fall down and go BOOM. -Tony From Elyse E
Q. Hey, If you cannot answer this question on the Q&A page I would be happy if you would send me an email back. Q: When you were a little kid what did you want to become when you grew up? A. A math teacher, no joke. -Tony Thanks 4 reading this, Leslie Stong

Answering the same questions over and over about my history, my skating, doing 900's, video games and getting injured along the way. It didn't stop the questions, but it helped people understand where I come from. 2) What are your 2 favorite quotes? A. "There's no birthday party for me in here!" - Jeff Spicoli, Fast Times at Ridgemont High "Daddy, flip, owie" - my 2-year-old son while throwing my action figure around the house. 3) What is your favorite moment in your career?

The feeling I had after the first Boom Boom HuckJam show (April, 2002 in Vegas), knowing that the concept would work and the crowd enjoyed it. -Tony Thanks alot man... i really appreciate it if you answer those questions. lata man - Jesse
