Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk has teamed up with MINI USA for a partnership which will see the brand become the official vehicle of Hawk's Birdhouse Skateboards Summer Tour, and Hawk make a number of appearances at MINI USA events and design limited-edition skateboard to be auctioned off for charity.

Hawk commented 'MINI and skating are about design and self-expression; they are about building a community around something that is otherwise very individual'.
