Forbes Magazine just released its list of the 10 Most Influential Athletes and Tony Hawk weighs in at number three behind Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong and ahead of Peyton Manning, Shaq, and several Nascar drivers. Here’s what they said:
This month, Hawk competed in the All ’80s All Day Vert Challenge, his first competition in eight years. Fittingly, the man who won many times during his storied career came out on top again. Hawk’s influence is evident in the popularity of the videogame franchise named after him. The skater also owns his own film and TV production company.
Congrats, Tony.
