During the 90's, many figures emerged who have placed themselves in pop culture, ranging from singers to film actors who are already the most beloved by fans; On the skating side we have Tony Hawk, who is called one of the best in the world. That popularity has led to him being given sponsorships and an appearance on The Simpsons, but it seems that it will not be the only animated representation that the famous skater will have.
According to what has been mentioned through the media, Tony is working on an animated show for children's television called Skatebirds, which is clearly inspired by the nickname Birdman, which has been slowly being remembered among veterans of wheeled sports. In addition, it is thought that it will be a kind of educational launch, this to teach children about the risk involved in skateboarding and how accidents can be prevented with the appropriate equipment.
From what they say in the sources, Skatebirds will celebrate skateboarding's playful community while emphasizing its adventurous nature. This is a group of young skaters who are also brave birds in search of new experiences and tricks. So viewers can expect a lot of teamwork, friendship, and a focus on community. The episodes will last just over 11 minutes, which could be reduced due to the opening and closing themes.
Here is a description of the athlete:
