“Yesterday sucked. 20 years ago I broke my arm in the elbow and was able to come back. Recovering after a fractured femur will be much more difficult due to the severity of the injury and my age. But I am ready for the challenge,” Tony Hawk wrote on Instagram. The skateboarding legend has suffered a serious injury that may end his adventure with skateboarding.
The American published photos showing a broken leg after an accident during training and a femur after surgery, folded with a few screws. “Coming back with so much heavy equipment will be difficult, but I’ll do it. It is true that I will not be in top shape anymore, but I gave up this concept a long time ago when I was approaching middle age. me “wrote Hawk.

The American is an absolute skateboarding icon. Hawk is a 10-time gold medalist of the X-Games, the annual extreme sports competition, which is more popular in the USA than the Olympic Games. Since 1999, games signed with his name have appeared on the market. In 23 years, 18 different versions of “Tony Hawk Pro Skater” have been produced for consoles and computers.
The American, 53 years old, ended his professional career in 2003. He hung it up for a while in July 2021 to perform at the X Games in the Vert Best Trick competition, where he finished 4th. Nine competitors took part in the competition.
23 years ago, Hawk made skateboarding history as the first player to do the 900 trick. It’s an evolution of two and a half turns on its own axis.
