I have recently read this interview of Tony Hawk about his Charitable efforts,

I feel that this interview really shows the better side of the skateboard community and how not all skaters are these aggro driven maniacs that have no respect for their surroundings. Tony Hawk is one of the leading figures of skateboarding and it is great to see that he is making an attempt to make a lasting effect on not only the skateboard culture and society but our world in general. When he started the Tony Hawk foundation it served as a larger power to help gain support for skaters to build new skate parks and other skateboarding facilities and events. All in all I think that Tony Hawk is a great leader for the skateboard culture and the skaters that give us a bad name should look up to him and make an attempt to follow in his footsteps.
