The most famous skateboarder in history is giving fans an opportunity to own a custom board painted with his own blood.

As part of a publicity stunt for the water brand Liquid Death, Tony Hawk, also known as Birdman, has given two vials of his actual blood to create the Liquid Death Skateboard.

Unsurprisingly, the board is blood red and features a drawing of topless man whose head has been replaced by a can of the water.

He is also carrying a bloody axe and the skull of a hawk.

A limited edition run of 100 of the boards went on sale for $500, but sold out almost immediately. As of 5.40 a.m. ET Wednesday they are unavailable on the Liquid Death website.

The godfather of modern skateboarding was recently spotted at the Tokyo Olympics where he watched the sport he helped popularize make its debut at the games.
