Tony Hawk Takes Extreme To New Level: Vitamins

Every young lad at one point of his life must have a prominent role model figure that points him in the right direction when it comes to his diet.  Someone he can trust and look up to while for nutritional guidance and support.  Unfortunately some of your dads are too busy eating donuts and beer to give you any of that support.  So most of you I’m sure look to the media for a role model.  Typically an athlete or possibly an actor. 

Earlier in my life, I was looking up to POPEYE the Sailor Man.  I’d eat spinach like it was going out of style.  Fortunately for me I stopped admiring him or else I’d be some roided out crack head in the NAVY by now.  A few years later my attention focused to the WWF for guidance and my admiration for Hulk Hogan grew immensely.  After watching him every weekend telling me to take my vitamins, I new exactly what I needed to do.  Unfortunately for me, one morning I decided to take 12, thanks to the HULKSTER, and I basically passed out while playing.  Never listened to him again. 

Now, the kids of today have a new role model to look up to.  Shia LaBeouf.  But he doesn’t have vitamins out yet.  Well Tony Hawk Man-X does!  Tony is teaming up with NBTY Inc. (a vitamin company) to create supplemental children’s vitamins in the shape of little skateboard decks, wheels, and hawk skulls.  And they won’t be those crappy chalk-like vitamins.  These will be the gummy variety.  I’m going to order me a pack of these now! 

If you’re 11 years old and you want your mom to get you some of these, read the press release below. 

Ronkonkoma, NY (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 — Whether he’s busy shredding the halfpipe, working on his latest video game, touring the country with his Boom Boom HuckJam or making one of his numerous television appearances, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is first and foremost an athlete. And athletes know the importance of good nutrition. However, most of Tony’s fans are boys ages 8 to 16 – not the most nutritionally conscious group around. So, Tony has joined forces with NBTY, Inc., a leading manufacturer of nutritional supplements and children’s vitamins, and created the Tony Hawk HuckJam brand of vitamins. These chewy “gummy” vitamins, shaped like miniature skateboard decks, skateboard wheels and Tony’s signature hawk skull, provide a good source of 11 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, which bolsters the immune system*, and Vitamin B-12, a major factor in energy metabolism*.

To help make a big splash for the release of Tony Hawk HuckJam Gummies, NBTY, Inc. rolled out the vitamins nationally. There are two sizes available – a 60-count bottle and a 180-count bottle. Both will contain three great-tasting flavors of gummies: orange, cherry and grape. So whether you’re a parent looking to give your teen a better handle on nutrition, or a seasoned boarder ready to hit the skatepark, Tony Hawk HuckJam Gummies are a great source of the vitamins and minerals that help keep a body coming back for more.
