DALLAS (KDAF) — The legendary partnership between Tony the Tiger and world-renowned skateboarder Tony Hawk is igniting once again to celebrate something big.
Their friendship, which started with Tony Hawk serving as Tony the Tiger’s stunt double in a ‘90s advertisement, captured both icons’ enthusiastic attitudes and desire to motivate youth to be courageous and get active. This time, their reunion will take to the physical and digital skatepark – via the launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 and at the live Vert Alert Legends Demo and skateboarding competition.
“I’ve been a fan of Tony the Tiger since I was a kid,” said Tony Hawk. “It’s been an incredible
journey, from originally doing stunts for Tony to reuniting over 30 years later, and I’m honored to still be associated with the most iconic Tiger in the world.”
In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 video game, players can dive into tiger-themed gear and
accessories. Available now for pre-order, the game promises an epic ride across digital skateparks.
To commemorate the collaboration, limited-edition skateboards will be released for five lucky
fans. Complementing this release are exclusive Tony x Tony cereal packs, featuring autographed items from Tony Hawk and the timeless taste of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes.
The legendary duos’ reunion will hit its peak at the two-day Vert Alert at the University of Utah, a
global gathering of skateboarding talent, which will be free and open to the public. Both
Tonys will hype up participants in the competition.
