Long Name, Short Celebrities
Tony Hawk took a knee for The Tony Hawk Foundation Annual Activision Presents Stand Up for Skateparks Benefit in Bridgehampton in New York City, New York. Sheesh! That’s a loooong name. We fell asleep twice reading it. Quick, we dare you to say it fast five times. You can’t. It’s impossible! Skateboarding legend, ambassador of the action-sports lifestyle, and philanthropic pioneer Tony Hawk launched his Stand Up benefit on the East Coast for the first time in its five-year history. The event included skateboarding and BMX demonstration performance on the vert ramp. Adorable little Verne Troyer attended the event as well, as it was cute to see Tony pose with him in these fotos!

Oh How nice! Mr. Hawk comes off his high pedestal to spend some time with the little people of this world. Although I must admit, it would be killer to see a “vertically challenged” individual doing skate boarding aerials!!!
