Birdhouse skateboards was founded by Tony Hawk and his friend from the Powell Bones Brigade, Per Welinder back in the mid 1990's. Since then Tony Hawk has set the stage for modern skateboarding with incredible vert ramp skating and all of his video games. Birdhouse just released their new DVD, titled "The Beginning", kind of a play on words from their first skate video, The End. Pick up a copy and you will the skating of Tony Hawk, Shawn White, Brian Sumner, Jeremy Klein, Willy Santos, Matt Ball and more. Also, check out the new Birdhouse Black 6 decks.
