The skaters will put on a free 45-minute public vert demo at 8 am on Hawk’s personal half-pipe with surprise appearances by Hawk. At noon, Hawk and all five skaters will return to perform a bonus 45-minute demo. Both shows will include product giveaways and more.

Hawk’s apparel collection launches mid-August at all Walmart Canada stores. Tony Hawk is an innovative athlete and an influential pioneer in modern vertical skateboarding. He is known for being the first skateboarder to land a trick known as the “900.”
