Tony Hawk

Tony's got an ollie over a half million dollar whip in this Ride Channel footage. If you make like $20 million dollars a year or something, then this is about a week's pay we're talking about. So, to most skateboarders this would be like jumping a $400 bucket. Oh well, check the jump here:

Jason Dill
Posted by D.B. on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
This throwback goes out to Jason Dill and all his stylish contributions to skateboarding. Dill's been putting out amazing parts for a decade plus and is still going. Each part always represents a new era of Dill if you will. Whether it's the clothes he's wearing, the tricks he's doing, or the spots he's skating and sometimes even the lack of spots he's skating. Dill is always ahead of the game. Some might even ask, "is Jason Dill the style icon of skateboarding?" After the below photo came out the Slap boards went off, with one user coming up with this. Is Jason Dill to skateboarding, what Jerry West is to basketball?
