Why did Tony Hawk stop competing?

Answer 1

As of early 2013, Tony Hawk is still Skateboarding at least 4 days a week.

If you are referring to why he stopped competing in the early 2000's, there are myriad answers, but the short version, paraphrased from Tony's words, is that the contests were less interesting to him, and his schedule got to the point where he could do other things and help skateboarding more by spending his time doing demos, clinics and other activities.

Please note, though, that Tony entered the Protec Pool Party at the Vans Skatepark in Orange, CA, in May of 2012. Do a YouTube search and I"m sure you'll find this and many other videos of Tony skating in 2012. Or check his Instagram account.

Answer 2

yes Tony Hawk really did quit competing but still signs adigrafs.
