Hanging at The Hawk’s Nest: The Birdmanramp Photo Feature


00 Birdmanramp TitleHe’s done the loop. He’s done the side-loop. Tony Hawk has an affinity for weird ramps, and so of course it was only a matter of time before he skated the famed half-man, half-ramp known as Manramp. How could he not? Tony's legacy of isn’t just doing the biggest and hardest tricks, it’s also skating the weirdest shit he can find or make. And for that, we are forever grateful and stoked to add this session to his long list of wild rides. Long live the Birdman.

    Rune's not only one of the gnarliest on the ramps, but he's got a hell of an eye for a good flick. See who he snapped up on his trip to Texas.
