Skateboard legend Tony Hawk, who retired from pro skate contests in 2002, was injured this Saturday during a vert ramp demo during Quiksilver’s Action Sports Weekend held at Downtown Disney. Hawk fell while performing a 540, a staple trick for the “Birdman”. The bail resulted in Hawk having to pull out of the one day event, after injuring his pelvis.

Hawk had just completed a hugely successful Eurpean demo tour & show in Rome Italy, Barcelona Spain, and Brighton England.

Hawk updated his condition via Twitter this morning where he tweeted, “Pelvic vertical shear injury” & a hematoma in a pear tree is the semi-official diagnosis. All I know is: I can’t lift my legs & it sucks.” Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Hawk, who is also great snowboarder
