Best birthday ever: woman finds Hawk’s skateboard

(KPRC) Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk kicked off one heck of a scavenger hunt Tuesday in Houston, Texas.

Hawk tweeted a picture of one of his skateboards propped against a post with one of the sculptures on JFK Boulevard near George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the background.

“I just left my skateboard kind (of) close to Houston airport,” Hawk wrote in the tweet. “Finders keepers if you can figure out where this is.”

In Hawk’s tweet, he wrote to “please reply with the hashtag on the grip tape” and the race was on.

The board was snatched up within minutes of Hawk’s tweet.

It turns out that the woman who found it, Melissa Riggs, is celebrating her birthday.

“This is the best birthday present I could even ever want,” Riggs said in a video she posted on her Facebook page. “I tried skateboarding on it. I looked like a complete idiot, but that doesn’t matter.”
