Tony Hawk's Legendary '900' Skateboard Featured at Julien's Auctions

The Unveiling of Tony Hawk's '900' Skateboard at Julien's Auctions

One of the most pivotal moments in skateboarding history is set to take center stage at Julien's Auctions. The revered skateboarding icon, Tony Hawk, has partnered with the auction house to introduce the "Tony Hawk: The 900 Collection," an event that promises enthusiasts and collectors alike a chance to own a piece of history.

Launched on August 26, 2025, this unique auction marks the first time that original artifacts from Hawk's illustrious career will be made available to the general public, a move that is both exciting and deeply personal for the legend himself. Tony Hawk shared his enthusiasm about the venture, stating, "This is the first time I've been personally involved in every aspect of selling my items." This involvement underscores the significance of this event for both Hawk and his fans.

The auction will feature an impressive set of 99 items, each selected for its personal importance and appeal to collectors. At the very heart of the collection lies the original '900' Falcon 2 skateboard. This historic board, which Hawk famously used to execute the first successful 900 maneuver in the history of extreme sports, is outfitted with Fury Trucks and unmarked wheels. The estimated value of this extraordinary artifact ranges from $500,000 to $700,000, categorizing it alongside legendary sports memorabilia like Muhammad Ali's heavyweight gloves and Michael Jordan's iconic "Flu Game" sneakers. This skateboard not only represents a milestone in Hawk's career but also in the broader landscape of pop culture and extreme sports.

In addition to the '900' skateboard, collectors will have the opportunity to bid on a variety of additional pieces that further accentuate the significance of Hawk’s legacy. Among them are signed gear and worn equipment from the historic X Games in 1999, such as Tony's helmet, pads, and Adio sneakers. Other notable items include his first professional skateboard from 1982 (manufactured by Powell-Peralta), the outfit he wore for the Olympic Torch Relay in 2002 during the Salt Lake City Opening Ceremony, and a unique "Simpsons" themed jacket he received after his guest appearance on the beloved show in 2003. A collection of medals and awards depicting his legendary career will also be up for grabs.

Julien's Auctions draws on its extensive experience from previous auctions, which featured high-profile personalities like Princess Diana and Michael Jackson, to ensure that this event captures the attention it rightfully deserves. A live auction will take place on September 23, 2025, at 10 AM PT at the Loews Hotel in Hollywood, with options for online participation.

For enthusiasts wishing to own a piece of this historic collection, registration and bidding details will be available at [LINK TO AUCTION]. This event not only represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for skateboarding fans but also serves as a meaningful fundraiser for The Skatepark Project, Hawk's nonprofit organization that supports the development of skate parks for underserved youth communities. In this spirit, the auction is both a celebration of Hawk's contributions to the sport and a step towards giving back to future generations of skateboarders.

Indeed, the 900 Collection is treated as one of the most significant collectible events in the skateboarding world, setting new benchmarks for sports memorabilia. Whether you are an avid collector, a fan of Tony Hawk, or a person interested in the evolution of extreme sports, this auction is an event not to be missed.
