Sam is a skater (READ: Skateboarder) and was 16 when he experienced the hardest slam of his life. He’s used to the bumps, bruises, scrapes, and broken bones that come from the occasional slam of a trick gone wrong. He’s also used to being looked down upon by others because he’s the son of a teenage mom. Sam’s mentor and hero is Tony Hawk (TH) and if you know anything about skating, you know that TH is the man. Sam’s read TH’s autobiography “Hawk-Occupation: Skateboarder” so many times, he knows it by heart. Sam is such a super fan that when he needs advice or someone to talk to, TH is his man. I know, he doesn’t REALLY talk to TH but he does talk to the poster on his wall and TH talks back (using quotes from the book, but still its advice that can be very worthwhile!). When Sam meets Alicia, he never expects that the next slam will change their lives forever? Is it possible that TH help him deal this slam?
