Pro skateboarder and O.G. Malibu local David Hackett has been a pivotal part of the sixties through contemporary surf skate movement maintaining a somewhat calculated underground profile. Popping up at spots and throwing down with authority, throughout the last five decades, adding fuel to the legendary Hackett fire.
For pure natural versatility, check the images below and see D.H. in low pivotal form at a Los Angeles school yard, blasting bio Suspenders air at Reseda Skatercross, with eye contact way over vert at the Upland Pipeline, surf styled on the cover of Skateboarder Magazine, inverted at Marina, pool shralping with his Hackett slash style, torking ditch flow at Bronson Canyon, one wheeling a wall ride, dropping a cube van years ahead of his time in NYC, destroying race courses worldwide with his racing partners Steve Olson and Duane Peters in Black Leather Racing and setting the record at 45 years old as the oldest skater to negotiate the loop of death.
David recently had emergency colon cancer surgery, which saved his life and left him with $100,000.00 hospital bill due to lapsed insurance. Many have felt and appreciated Hackman’s numbered and notable contributions to skateboarding. Helping Hackett would be a great way to show we care and you can do just that by contributing donations of any amount directly to Hackett’s Paypal
