About Hook-Ups:
Hook-ups Skateboards are part of Birdhouse skateboards. Birdhouse was founded in 1992 in Huntington Beach, California. Formed by Powell-Peralta pro skaters Tony Hawk and Per Welinder. After the skateboard boom of the late 1980s had died Per Welinder wanted to stay involved with skateboarding by starting a company. Welinder had originally asked Pro Skateboarder Lance Mountain to be his partner in the venture. Mountain declined as he only wanted to start a skateboard company if he had 100% ownership. Mountain later founded The Firm Skateboards (now defunct). Welinder later asked Tony Hawk to join his new skateboard company. Hawk accepted as he felt his time in skateboarding was nearly over due to the lack of interest in Vert Skating caused by the popularity of Street Skating. Welinder and Hawk decided to name their new skateboard company Birdhouse Projects - Birdhouse being a reference to Hawk's last name. Birdhouse makes decks and wheels, as well as clothing and accessories. Birdhouse also makes Videos (Films) showing the talent and skill of the teams skaters (See Video list below). The Birdhouse team in 2009 includes Matt Ball, tony Hawk, Steve Nesser, Willy Santos, Kevin Staab, and Shaun White. Amateurs include Derek Burdett, Sean Eaton, Shaun Gregoire, Riley Hawk, Aaron Homoki, David Loy, Randy Ploesser, Alan Young.
