As a vert skater (mainly because I sucked at street skating), Hawk was my idol. He managed to keep himself pretty clean (other than going through a few big hootie wives) too.

Cmonty, that's awesome that you knew Frank, I remember seeing some videos with him back in the day <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I too suffer from some snowboarding injuries after an unfortunate botched 360 attempt. I throw a football like a girl now, which my wife always enjoys pointing out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Also did my share of BMX racing, even won the points race in my class when I was in 4th grade on my Mongoose Expert Pro (before the started selling them at Wallyworld)...
