Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on May 12, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Tony Hawk! May your day be filled with more flips and spins than a skateboarding video game—oh wait, you already have one of those. From landing the legendary 900 to inspiring generations of skaters worldwide, you've proven that gravity is merely a suggestion.

Your recent adventures continue to amaze us all; whether it's effortlessly shredding ramps or hilariously tweeting about people not recognizing you in public. Keep soaring high and defying age as gracefully as you've defied physics on wheels. Here's hoping this year brings even more epic tricks—and maybe fewer awkward airport encounters!
