Back in 1999, Tony Hawk spun himself into history at the X Games in San Francisco. Two and a half full spins in the air, stomped it clean, rolled away, crowd went crazy.
That was the first 900 anyone had ever seen landed in competition, and it instantly stamped Hawk as a legend. He called it the best day of his life, and for skaters watching, it felt like the whole culture leveled up right there.
Fast-forward to now, and the very board under his feet that night just sold for a crazy number.
As we previously reported, Julien’s Auctions put the Birdhouse “Falcon 2” deck up for grabs, and on September 24, 2025, somebody walked away with it for $1,152,000. Yeah, one point one million son for one board. It almost touched a million before the bidding cooled off.
The auction wasn’t only about the deck, though. Hawk let go of nearly a hundred pieces tied to that night. The helmet, the pads, the shoes, even his bronze medal and athlete pass. It was like someone opened up the vault to one of skateboarding’s most iconic chapters.
And it’s not just stacking cash. A chunk of the money is going straight into The Skatepark Project, Hawk’s nonprofit that builds parks for kids who need real places to skate. So that 900 board is still giving back, funding the next generation of kids who might one day stomp tricks that seem impossible right now.
A board that once changed the game now just pulled in house-money prices. From the ramp in San Francisco to a collector’s wall, Tony Hawk’s 900 deck is living proof that skateboarding history can carry a serious tag.
