It specializes in content heavy with the skate, snow, surf, BMX and motorcross sports culture. As creative director, Hawk is hands-on in charge of choosing action sports video material for the site. The goal is to make ShredOrDie.com the premiere video community for big-name athletes, professional and amateur filmmakers and regular, everyday users.
“I'm excited to be a part of Shred or Die because I like the idea of creating a site where action sports fans can find content from professional and non-professional athletes, as well as creating their own and sharing it,” Hawk announced. “The action sports community has a unique camaraderie and our site reflects that.”
Aside from being chockfull of action-packed extreme sports videos, ShredOrDie.com also has an impressive and extensive selection of interviews dubbed Dissent TV from Tony Hawk's very own THI/900 Films. Dissent TV documents the skateboarding icon's various travels and interactions with important sports figures and celebrities like Lance Armstrong, Shaun White, Ed Helms, Bam Margera, Isaac Brock, Christian Slater and
