Boards + Bands

I love that the incredible Rodney Mullen rides his friends' pro model skateboards instead of his own. This is the Chris Haslam board that I wrote lyrics to "God Fearing Man" on, a song Rodney enjoys listening to while he skates. The board is up for auction to support the Tony Hawk Foundation and its work to bring free public skateparks to at-risk youth. Tt's part of the Boards+Bands project, a set of 8 insane skateboard collaborations available on eBay. Auction closes Thursday night. So get on it! www.BoardsAndBands.org And go SEE the boards in person at The GRAMMY Museum in LA.

12.06.12 Boards+Bands Auction for the Tony Hawk Foundation is ON!

Psyched to serve on the Tony Hawk Foundation Board of Directors and help build free public skateparks for at-risk kids across the U.S. Last year I had an idea to bring skaters and musicians together to help the cause, and today it's HAPPENING. I wrote the lyrics to “God Fearing Man” and "Burn One Down" on skate legends Rodney Mullen's and Bob Burnquist's personal skateboards, respectively. The boards are being auctioned NOW as part of the Boards+Bands project supporting the Tony Hawk Foundation at www.BoardsAndBands.org.
