Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is selling custom skateboards that are infused with his blood for $500 a pop. The Tony Hawk blood skateboards are a promotion created by Hawk and the canned water brand Liquid Death; the process mixes Tony Hawk’s blood with the paint used to detail the skateboards, to create one-of-a-kind bloody artwork pieces – figuratively and literally. The art features Liquid Death’s “It’s the Thirst Executioner” mascot, holding the skull of a hawk (the bird) as an ode to the skateboarding icon. Only 100 Tony Hawk blood boards will be made (the man only has so much blood to give!), and will only be sold for a limited time.

In a statement, Tony Hawk has said the following:
“I am deeply thankful to have a connection with my fans, and I appreciate how Liquid Death connects with theirs… This collaboration is taking those connections to a new level, as I have literally put my blood (and soul?) into these decks… And I take pride in knowing that organizations fighting plastic pollution and creating skate parks worldwide will be supported through our efforts. The two charities that proceeds will go towards are the Skatepark Project, as well as 5 Gyres, an environmental nonprofit organization.”
As Hawk indicates in his statement, a portion of the proceeds made from these Tony Hawk blood-stained skateboards will be given to charities focused on cleaning up plastic pollution and building skateboarding parks in low-income neighborhoods.
