Skateboard found in Nashivlle
World famous skateboarder, Tony Hawk, hid skateboards nationwide for his version of an Easter egg hunt today. Next he sent clues on Twitter to his followers in cities across the country directing them to the various locations. There were two skateboards hidden in Tennessee-one in White House and another in Nashville. When the clue was posted on Twitter for the skateboard in Nashville-I jumped on my scooter and went hunting in Centennial Park...and found it-much to my astonished surprise! Below are the 10 tweets that lead to my discovery. I had some heavy competition and am now the proud owner of a signed Tony Hawk skateboard. Living in Nashville does have it's perks!

Cool! Go you!
Congrats :-)
There was a group of us out there who never saw Tony's RT. We were crawling all over the train. Where was it exactly?
Thanks Michelle and Elizabeth! :-)

Sorry you didn't see the RT from Tony. I didn't find it until I did a search on Twitter for #TN2 about 6 hours later! The deck was located right behind where I was standing in the photo. About midway in the train, underneath the steps, and stashed in a cubby hole. There was a couple that showed up about the same time I did and all three of us scrambled all over that (really dirty) train-all within a 1/2 hour of the Twitter posted clue As the female was in the middle section on top,I was about to go up there w/ her but decided if it was up there-she would find it. So I just did a quick look underneath her and there was some plastic glinting in the sunlight. I found it! There was a fellow, sitting on a bench in front of the train, that stood up and took my pic-he was the one to hide it there. Whew! I was very HAPPY!
Very cool! Congratulations. :)
Thanks Amber! It was a fantastic adventure!
Congrats on the cool board. My friend knows Tony and says he's the ultimate alphaero dude - just a real down to Earth guy with amazing talent and a big heart. Great article.
Thanks Brett! Yes-Tony Rocks! Thanks for the support...
