The celebrity-crafted combo includes a classic Cheese Quesadilla, a Crunchy Taco, Chips & Nacho Cheese Sauce, and a medium Lipton Iced Tea. Related: "At Taco Bell, delivering bold flavor at unbeatable value for our fans isn't a trend—it's part of our DNA," said Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell chief marketing officer, in the June 23 announcement. "We're seeing 1 in 5 Luxe Cravings Boxes being scooped up by Taco Bell first timers, meaning our value is not just satisfying cravings—it's so compelling it's bringing new fans.

It kept me going while I was chasing a dream," Hawk, 57, added. "I had a self-imposed Taco Bell allowance and practically lived on it while creating a brand and skating nonstop. So, getting to create my own box with Taco Bell along with co-creating a line of new in-game features is my version of living the dream. I hope it inspires others chasing their passion to keep pushing, keep grinding, and maybe grab a taco along the way." At risk of saving the best news for last, Hawk's most dedicated fans can enter for a chance to win one of 500 limited-edition skate decks (15 of which are autographed by the legend himself) beginning at 2 p.m. PT on June 24, only via the Taco Bell app. About 50,000 early-access demo codes for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 will also be up for grabs in the app around 3 p.m. PT on Tuesday.

Tony Hawk, pro skater, pays surprise visit to Smithers, B.C.
One of the world's most recognizable athletes has paid a surprise visit to a small B.C. mountain town, population 5,000. Tony Hawk, who revolutionized skateboarding with several new tricks and helped popularize the sport through his athletic performances and a line of video games, is in Smithers, B.C., in the province's northwest, to help celebrate the expansion of the community's skate park. "Hey, what's up Smithers? It's Tony Hawk. Someone told me there's a skate demo happening at your new park?" he said in a video posted to social media. "That's pretty cool, I may have to check it out." The Smithers Skate Park Society has been advertising a "pro skater demonstration" to celebrate the completion of the park's expansion but had not previously revealed who would be involved. According to the society, Smithers — located 661 kilometers northwest of Vancouver — was the first community in B.C. north of Kamloops to have a dedicated skate park, first opening in 1996, and has been working over the past several years on a major expansion, at a cost of nearly $1 million. The expansion includes new features for skaters, such as an eight-foot bowl, as well as lighting, benches and signage. The celebration, which includes a demonstration by Hawk, as well as learn to skate events, will be underway all afternoon Thursday.
