Ride Along: Riley Hawk on Growing Up with the Coolest Dad on Earth

Riley Hawk was raised in Southern California by the most famous and wealthiest skateboarder who ever lived. We accompany Riley as he dishes on his unconventional childhood and explains why he's not the listless pothead many make him out to be.

Riley Hawk was raised in idyllic Southern California by the most famous and wealthiest skateboarder who ever lived.

We accompany Riley on an unconventional errand as he dishes on his unconventional childhood and explains why he's not the listless pothead many a media outlet has made him out to be.
