Tony Hawk tour coming to Six Flags

Skating legend Tony Hawk and Six Flags have announced a two-year agreement to bring Hawk's Boom Boom HuckJam tour to Six Flags parks around the country. The Boom Boom HackJam tour is a travelling action sports show incorporating skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross.

Hawk himself will star in two shows daily at selected Six Flags parks throughout the summer, and HuckJam branded merchandise will be available for sale during his park visits.

"Tony Hawk is an internationally-recognized athlete and skateboard icon, and while our mission at Six Flags is to make our brand more attractive to families, our alliance with Tony Hawk's tour underscores our sustained commitment to our teen audience," said Mike Antinoro, Six Flags Executive VP of Entertainment and Marketing. "We've made a pledge to diversify our entertainment so the Six Flags experience is about more than just rides, and bringing Tony Hawk to Six Flags is a perfect illustration of that."

"Tony's Boom Boom HuckJam tour is a great fit for the Six Flags audience, and working together we'll bring an incredible new entertainment experience to Six Flags guests while raising awareness for the Boom Boom HuckJam brand, our successful tour and the best athletes in skate, BMX and moto-x," said Pat Hawk, COO of Tony Hawk, Inc.
