Hawk takes the psychology test at Men's Health

Tony Hawk was the first skateboarder to pull off the 900 stunt in competition in 1999.

Category: Men's Health magazine subscription

Tony Hawk has told Men's Health magazine subscribers that becoming the first skateboarder to complete a 900-degree rotation is the most satisfying thing he has accomplished during his career.

The biggest name in skateboarding was asked numerous questions by the magazine as part of a psychology test, with one of which revolving around his accomplishments.

Giving the choice of winning his first X-Games, having his own computer game, owning his own company or pulling off the above-mentioned stunt, Hawk opted for the latter.

He said: "I worked hardest for the 900. I had the idea ten years prior to doing it. I put my body through so much abuse trying to make it."

Among the other questions posed to the 41-year-old included what his favourite drink was, who is his biggest hero and what would improve his life the most.

Hawk first completed the 900 trick in competition in 1999 at the 12th time of asking, before again successfully pulling the stunt off at the X Games in 2001.
