It’s not that often we can get someone making a first time convention debut that happens to be in Arizona but Game On Expo is making it happen with legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Don’t tell me you already forgot about the iconic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series? Tony will be appearing Saturday, April 5 only during Game On Expo. The full bio from the Game On Expo announcement.

“Tony Hawk was just nine-years old when his brother gave him his first skateboard. By fourteen he’d turned pro, and by sixteen he was widely considered the best skateboarder on earth. In 1999, he became the first skater to ever complete a 900, and shortly thereafter, launched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, his now billion-dollar video game franchise.

The Hawk empire includes Birdhouse Skateboards, Hawk Clothing, and the Tony Hawk Signature Series products, as well as his production company, 900 Films. In 2022, a biographical documentary film titled “Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off” by award-winning director Sam Jones debuted on HBO, giving an in-depth look at Tony’s legendary career and personal life.

Tony founded the The Skatepark Project, which helps underserved communities create safe and inclusive skateparks for youth.”

Game On Expo takes place April 4 – 6 at the Phoenix Convention Center. Passes are currently on sale.
