Dipping his wheels into every pavement has been the hallmark of Tony Hawk’s career. He has brought a pioneering spirit to the world of skateboarding, inventing just about half of the tricks in the book, and making a science out of judging skate parks.

A humanitarian, devoted to pushing the limits of human movement, the Birdman has been entertaining crowds with his moves and his team since the original Bones Brigade took the world by storm and set a whole new definition-and spelling-for the word “x-treme.”

The Birdman has been hosting Demolition Radio since its first airing on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Faction channel in July of 2004. Tony Hawk’s Demolition Skateboard Radio airs every Tuesday night, the centerpiece of a line-up geared specifically to the growing numbers of extreme sporting fanatics.

The Faction channel features shows by other top names in skate radio, like Jonny Mosely, Bam Margera and hard-rock queen Joan Jett. Featuring the latest in gritty punk, hip-hop and raw hard rock, the channel is an unabashedly aggressive audio mosh pit.

Skateboarding is usually associated with video, but sound is just as much an integral part of the experience, the friction of wheels scraping the curb, the lullaby of a half-pipe run back and forth, and of course the occasional wincing of a fallen soldier unable to suppress a scream. The rhythm of vert skating is perfectly suited to a variety of musical scores, but heavy beats seem to predominate, and the skating community almost universally prefer the punk, grunge rock, and hip-hop that goes so well with the defiant sport.

This skate radio show has become yet another first for the famous ground-breaker since being assimilated into Hawk’s top-selling American Wasteland skate emulator. Players can listen to show highlights while cruising the peril-ridden obstacle courses of Los Angeles.

The Birdman delivers his show from the field, in a small studio situated directly at the foot of the Boom Boom Huck Jam’s practice ramp in his California pleasure palace, and a natural magnet for extreme athletes of all breeds. Being in his element gives Tony Hawk a natural, settled feel, as he kibitzes about tricks, personalities and events with his trademark laid-back, surfer attitude and of course some of the most entertaining guests in the action sports world.

Unlike mainstream sports radio coverage, which tends to involve third parties debating the merits of various corporate units, skate radio is an independent affair, generated in large part by the athletes themselves, who wear multiple hats, backward and forward, often acting in various capacities as filmmaker, musician, event promoter and spokesperson for a lifestyle which was created by the need for people to get off the sidelines and live life grinding the edge.

The Demolition Skateboard Radio Show is yet another reason why the Birdman is skating’s most visible pro, setting the tone for an independent athletic core that covers it’s own sport and leaves the corporate media eating dirt trying to beat the story coming directly from the Hawk’s mouth.
