Seems we’re not the only ones spending our golden years auctioning off the detritus from our action sporting youth. Tony Hawk has joined with Julien Actions to sell the board he rode at the 1999 San Francisco X Games. You know, the one where he did the 900 for the first time in competition? The comp we left early because we knew he’d never make it. Here’s how the stuff is described:
This first-to-market “The 900 Collection” features the original 1999 X Games “900” Skateboard. This is more than just a deck; it’s the very board, the Birdhouse “Falcon 2” outfitted with Fury brand trucks and unmarked wheels, that Tony Hawk rode into legend during his historic performance at the 1999 X Games in San Francisco.
But that’s not all. The collection also includes the sweaty helmet Tony wore. His stinky knee pads. The blown out Adio shoes, and his X Games athlete laminates. The board is expected to go for between $500,000 and $700,000 making it the most expensive skateboard ever. Reportedly “a portion” of the proceeds from the auction will go to The Skatepark Project.
