Skate legend and longtime Tony Hawk Foundation supporter and Board Member Mike Vallely spoke to Max Flower TV recently about his work with THF. Mike has a long history of supporting worthwhile causes and putting his money where his mouth is. His contributions to THF over the years have been crucial to the Foundation's growth and ability to share the message about the need for more accessible, quality skateparks.
The Public Skatepark Development Guide, the indispensable handbook for public-skatepark advocates, is now available in an updated and improved second edition. First published in 2007 by the Tony Hawk Foundation, Skaters For Public Skateparks, and the International Association of Skateboard Companies, the ultimate guide for community-skatepark advocates was available for free, and supplies quickly disappeared. The new 128-page second edition features updated information and expanded chapters, including skatepark vision, advocacy, fundraising, design, and management, plus several supplements and visual aids.
