Tony Hawk is a goofy-footed skateboarder. In September 1999, he launched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (THPS). Tony’s favorite skateparks are in California and San Diego.
Someone who is goofy puts the right foot in front of the left on the skateboard. Not all goofy riders have a dominant left hand.
Tony Hawk will tell you, "You’re goofy-footed, like me." Left-handed people are only left-footed about half the time.
About 10 percent of people are left-handed, while 89.4 percent is right-handed. “Goofy Foot” is one of the oldest terms in surfing jargon.
As of 2020, Birdhouse, Bones, Independent, and Vans are Tony Hawk’s main sponsors. Tony Hawk’s net worth is estimated at $120-150 million.
Hawk authored books including "Hawk: Occupation: Skateboarder" and "How Did I Get Here?"
