Geocache Description:

Considered one of the most successful and influential pioneers of modern vertical skateboarding,  Anthony Frank “Tony” Hawk continues to be a role model for many by following his passion of skateboarding and interweaving it with kind philanthropic acts.

In his early life, Tony was considered “hyperactive” and was head strong as a perfectionist.  A psych-evaluation requested by his parents determined that Tony at that time had an IQ of 144, just one point shy of genius.  Skateboarding was Tony’s outlet for his excessive energy, and as his skills developed, he became a professional skateboarder at the mere age of fourteen.  From that time, Tony “Birdman” Hawk won and continued to hold the National Skateboard Association Championship for twelve consecutive years.

In 1999,  Tony retired from professional competitions, but continues touring North America performing personal skate shows bringing awareness to his nonprofit, the Tony Hawk Foundation, which supports projects in low-income areas and helps underprivileged kids by helping build skate parks.

To find this cache, locate the tallest ramp at the listed coords and project in feet the amount degrees revolved in the Birdman's best trick at 150 degrees.  While at stage one, be sure to take in some of the action of the local skateboarders;  I wish you the very best on your caching quest.
