Serena Williams, Shaun White, Tom Brady, Sue Bird, Roger Federer, and Albert Pujols are only some superstar athletes who’ve walked away from the sport they dominated for years. They have countless accolades and championships that the most audacious competitors might not even be close to touching.

On the other hand, there’s Tony Hawk. He’s dominated skateboarding for as long as the superstars mentioned above have been at the peak of their sports. The only difference? He’s still going. The skateboarding legend who completed the first recorded “900” is a pioneer. His legacy will live through several philanthropic endeavors like The Skatepark Project, which assists with constructing skate parks in underprivileged areas, and Tony Hawk pro skateboarding video games.

Hawk doesn’t plan on letting up. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Hawk said, “It’s always been the idea that there are new things to learn. I never got into skateboarding because I thought I’d be rich and famous, so it’s not like I want to rest on my accolades. And obviously, I’m older, so my style of skating has changed a bit, but it still is what keeps me fired up. And so I want to do it as long as possible. When you’re asking about longevity, I mean, I guess I’m the litmus test now to how far you can take it and at what age. And I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon, so I’ll let you know when I get there.”

The ollies and kickflips will still come, but Hawk admitted he’s been thinking more about his health over the last year. He added that he’s been monitoring his high blood pressure and cholesterol for the past decade. He said he turned to Qunol supplements like CoQ10, which supports vascular and heart health and turmeric, which helps with anti-inflammation and has antioxidant properties.

For Hawk, the collaboration with the wellness brand made sense. He told Fox News Digital, “When they approached me about if I was interested, I literally sent them a video of my holding a bottle and said, ‘yeah, I’m already a customer, and I’ve been taking CoQ10 for the last 10 years or so.” Hawk prioritized his health and tries to stay active the best way he can, even with his most recent injury.

Hawk said, “I try to stay active the best I can. Honestly, that’s been challenging recently because I broke my leg last year, and I had to have a second surgery on it a couple of months ago. So, getting motivated to be active and exercise when dealing with that has been really tricky.

“But I do think that it’s important to just stay in motion however you can. Generally, for me, it’s a little more rigorous in terms of my skating and what I like to do. But when you get to be, you know, I’m 54 now, and when you get to be my age, just staying in motion in whatever context is going to be helpful to your longevity. I’ve been trying to exercise to get my leg back in order, get on the stationary bike, go swimming, and finally, like last week, I’ve been able to skate again. So now, I’m off and running.”

Hawk has competed competitively since 2021 after initially walking away in 2003. However, Hawk said he didn’t get into skateboarding for money or fame. He wanted to live out his dream, and he’s thankful that he still gets to live that dream years later.
