selling for $500 apiece.

a certificate of authenticity.
I am deeply thankful to have
a connection with my fans,
and I appreciate how Liquid Death
connects with theirs, Tony Hawk, via 'TMZ'.
This collaboration is taking those
connections to a new level,
as I have literally put my blood
(and soul?) into these decks, Tony Hawk, via 'TMZ'.
And I take pride in knowing
that organizations fighting plastic
pollution and creating skate parks
worldwide will be supported
through our efforts, Tony Hawk, via 'TMZ'.

from the rides will go to The Skatepark Project as well
