Tony Hawk's Legendary '900' Skateboard Highlights Major Auction Event
Historic '900' Skateboard Auction at Julien's
In an unprecedented event, iconic skateboarder Tony Hawk has collaborated with Julien's Auctions to present "TONY HAWK: THE 900 COLLECTION." This landmark auction, which kicked off on August 26, 2025, showcases 99 personally selected items from Hawk's career, allowing fans and collectors to own a piece of skateboarding history. Hawk emphasized the personal touch by stating, "This is the first time I've personally been involved in every aspect of selling my own items," allowing for an intimate glimpse into his life and legacy.
The centerpiece of the auction is no ordinary skateboard; it's the original 1999 X Games "900" Falcon 2 Deck, the very board that Hawk rode when he successfully executed the first-ever "900" aerial maneuver in skating history. With its Fury trucks and unmarked wheels, this board is estimated to fetch between $500,000 and $700,000, propelling it into the ranks of iconic sports memorabilia like Muhammad Ali's first heavyweight gloves and Michael Jordan's legendary "Flu Game" sneakers. This skateboard symbolizes a pivotal moment in extreme sports, showcasing Hawk's incredible influence on skate culture.
