In a video clip, Darby Allin revealed that originally, he decided to embark on a climb to Mt.Everest to support Hawk’s foundation, The Skatepark Project. Unfortunately, that plan has to be put on hold due to Allin’s broken foot. Tony Hawk then explained the cause behind the foundation.
It was formerly known as The Tony Hawk Foundation and helps underserved communities by creating safe and inclusive public skateparks for youngsters. As per Hawk, they have been operating for 20 years and helped to fund almost 900 skateparks.
