Do Hawk's sons, Riley, 13, Spencer, 5, and Keegan, 3, ever play the games? Do they like to challenge their dad, or make him crash-land? "Riley likes playing, but it's not like he wants to compete with me. My little ones just like me to dress up my character in ridiculous clothes, like my face with a diaper, and a cowboy hat, and clown shoes, and skate around." What kind of father is Hawk? Apparently, surprisingly sensible. "It makes me proud that I can switch from being a skater to a parent," he says. "But," he's quick to add, "I don't feel as old as other parents". He can seem like a big kid at times, but spends much of the flight proudly showing me digital pictures of his sons goofing around, and talking about their antics.
