Skateboard made from blood of legend

Acompany has created skateboards using the blood of Tony Hawk. The skateboarding legend has teamed up with the drinks manufacturer Liquid Death to make some limited edition boards and the company drew blood from him to make the equipment.

Only 100 of the boards were made at a price of US$500, with the money going towards “killing plastic pollution and building skate parks in underserved communities”.

Hawk said: “I am deeply thankful to have a connection with my fans, and I appreciate how Liquid Death connects with theirs.

“This collaboration is taking those connections to a new level, as I have literally put my blood (and soul) into these decks.

“I take pride in knowing that organisations fighting plastic pollution and creating skate parks worldwide will be supported through our efforts.”
