Hawk also occasionally sang vocals for a number of tribute acts who covered music from the ''VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater'' series. Hawk was also known to be a Commodore user, having bought a C64 just so he could play ''Skate or Die!''; he later bought [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MOcggCf2W8 an Amiga]] which he equipped with "3MB of RAM, 40MB hard drive and an internal modem", something which would've been the late 80s equivalent of having a very high-end PC today.
