Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (Game Boy Advance)/Characters

These are all the playable characters in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, which includes 13 real life professional skaters and 3 secret characters. Biography information on the skaters reflects their careers up to 2001.

Tony Hawk
Possibly the most influential skateboarder of all time, Tony has invented hundreds of tricks including the stale-fish, madonna and 720, and is the only person to land the vaunted 900.



Bob Burnquist
At 23, Sao Paulo, Brazil's Bob Burnquist has no equal. Since his first moments in the professional spotlight, he's continuously amazed the world of skating. His innovative switch-stance skating and unmistakable style combined with a true passion for every aspect of the sport have set him apart.



Steve Caballero
Cab has left his mark on three decades of skateboarding and is considered a legend in the sport. Rising to the top as a Vert champ in the 80's, he made the transition into an accomplished street skater in the 90's. Along with innovating the Caballerial, a smooth style and longevity remain the hallmarks of his career.



Kareem Campbell
Born in New York and raised in L.A., Kareem's smooth metropolitan style is recognized on both coasts. When not skating, Kareem's probably overseeing one of his several skate companies or chilling with his son li'l Reem. Kareem's advice for skaters: 'Do it for yourself and keep it honest'.



Rune Glifberg
When Rune was 11 years old, a friend brought a skateboard to his home in Copenhagen, Denmark. Later, a skateboard brought Rune to his new home is Huntington Beach, CA. Here you'll find the all-terrain terrorist sessioning anything he can find: pools, streets or massive vert ramps.



Eric Koston
Perhaps the smoothest street pro there is, Koston makes difficult switch and nollie tricks look like simple child's play. Koston can imitate other riders' styles or tricks, or simply transition into the grind that bears his name - the K-grind.



Bucky Lasek
Hardened on the East Coast and currently refining his skills in Carlsbad, California, Bucky is equal parts power, originality and style. When Bucky's not dropping jaws at the local Mission Valley Skate Park, you'll find him loving life with his wife and daughter.



Rodney Mullen
The godfather of technical street skating, Rodney was a freestyle world champ 35 times over before bringing his mind-boggling skills to the street skating scene in 1990. The kickflip, kickflip-underflip, impossible, 360-flip, casper, and darkslide are just a few of the patents on Rodney's exhaustive resume.



Chad Muska
The Muska's popularity grows each and every year, a fact most recently evidenced by his choice as Transworld Street Skater of 1999. Perhaps inspired by a youth spent growing up in Las Vegas, Chad is constantly pushing both street skating and equipment design in ever more outrageous directions.



Andrew Reynolds
Andrew's only been a pro since 1996, but what he may lack in years, he makes up for in control and pure guts. If you're in Los Angeles, and you see somebody going huge over a massive stair set with effortless style, odds are you're in the presence of Turtle Boy himself.



Geoff Rowley
Called the one-man English invasion, Geoff Rowley went from the streets of Liverpool to the top of the skating world. Currently living in Huntington Beach, CA, a few run-ins with the law haven't dampened his passion for long handrails and huge staircases.



Elissa Steamer
Originally from Ft. Myers, Florida, Elissa has dominated nearly every all-girl event she's entered. Breaking down all barriers, she became the first female skater to have a pro model deck. Now living in L.A., Elissa skates like you wish you could.



Jamie Thomas
Originally from Alabama, Jamie has conquered some of the biggest gaps and longest rails ever seen - his video parts in Welcome to Hell and Misled Youth prove it. Jamie is also the only person to walk away from the infamous Leap of Faith with both legs intact.



Spider-Man
Given fantastic powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker skates and fights crime as the Amazing SpiderMan. SpiderMan's super strength, enhanced reflexes, wall crawling and web slinging make him one of the most spectacular skateboarders around.
