Weird Wide Web Pod - Tony Hawk blood infused skateboards─── 15:19 Fri, 27 Aug 2021
The legendary skateboarder teamed up with drinks manufacturer Liquid Death to make a limited edition run of boards. And rather than just using regular paint for the artwork, the company decided to tap the 53-year-old for some of his blood.
Priced at $500 (£364), only 100 were made, with money going towards "killing plastic pollution and to building skate parks in under served communities". In a press release about the venture, Hawk said: "I am deeply thankful to have a connection with my fans, and I appreciate how Liquid Death connects with theirs. This collaboration is taking those connections to a new level, as I have literally put my blood (and soul?) into these decks."
He added: "I take pride in knowing that organizations fighting plastic pollution and creating skate parks worldwide will be supported through our efforts."
Sadly, they are all sold out now. Hey, it's Tony Hawk's blood, they were never going to stick around for long!
