TWO LEGENDS STAND OUT FOR SKATEPARK. Slash and Tony Hawk seen on September 21, 2014 in Tony Hawk’s 11th-annual Stand Up For Skateparks with Hawk and other top skate and BMX pros performing an all-star demo yesterday at Green Acres Estate in Beverly Hills, California. Tony Hawk’s Stand Up For Skateparks is a family-friendly action-sports carnival with games, food, and live and silent auctions with one-of-a-kind items and experiences. Another sell-out crowd and terrific auction items like Hawkized custom vehicles from MINI and Triumph, special celebrity experiences from Ben Harper, Jon Favreau, and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, a guitar signed by Slash, and one-of-a-kind visits to Napa, Dubai, and the Gumball 3000 rally helped this year’s Stand Up For Skateparks raise over $850,000. Proceeds support the Tony Hawk Foundation’s mission to empower youth through the creation of free, quality, public skateparks in low-income communities throughout the U.S., and Internationally with programs that enrich the lives of youth through skateboarding. “Stand Up For Skateparks and the skatepark movement in general have come such a long way.” said Tony Hawk “Stand Up For Skateparks and the skatepark movement in general have come such a long way,” said Tony Hawk. “With more than 500 skateparks in all 50 states receiving funding from THF, and more than 2,000 projects benefiting from our technical assistance program, we’re as busy and as needed as ever. This was our eleventh-annual benefit, and I believe it was our best yet. Skating my ramp with DJ Z-Trip spinning and mashing it up on the deck— literally with the riders—was incredible. It was a great display of skateboarding, BMX and music, and a fitting end to a terrific day, he add.
