Carlsbad’s Tony Hawk has pretty much thrown his name on anything that will pay him. But, aside from that, most of them have made sense. Even the helmet mounted video camera could somehow be tied back to skateboarding of a product that Tony would actually eat, drink, or play with. Now, Tony has handed over his name to Dynacraft bikes.
Tony Hawk bikes will be completely different than anything Dynacraft has distributed in the past,” said John Bisges, managing director at Dynacraft. “They will have higher end components, updated frames and the most cutting edge graphics ever.
Thank God for cutting edge graphics.

I’m all for paying the bills, and even am not 100 percent against Tony’s statement that his jeep ad where he slides a rail in a jeep is one of the better produced skate cross over ads.
But bikes? While I’m sure Tony rides a bike or has ridden one in the past, this seems really, really off base. If he were a multi-sport guy like White, or even producing something quality and related to something he’s into (surfing?), then I’d be semi ok with it. This is just way off though.
