What do these four names have in common? Tony Hawk, Mike Smith, Christian Hosoi, and Mark “Gator” Rogowski. This was the Dogtown squad circa 1980. The Birdman tells you how he got hooked up with such a legendary lineup in this 2016 episode of “How I Got Sponsored.”

Hawk’s Battle Commander premieres Saturday!
