Tony Hawk walks without crutches 10 days after breaking femur

Tony Hawk appears to be progressing well in his recovery from a broken leg.

The 53-year-old skateboarding legend tweeted a video of himself walking without crutches Thursday, just over a week after he broke his femur. He also said he's aiming to be back on a skateboard by May.

Hawk broke his leg March 7 while attempting a McTwist (front flip with a 540-degree rotation) in the half-pipe, according to TMZ Sports. He acknowledged that recovery wouldn't be easy but hopes to skate again.

"I've said many times that I won't stop skating until I am physically unable. A broken leg - with plenty of hardware - will probably be the biggest test of that creed," Hawk tweeted a day after suffering the injury. "I'll be back... maybe not at full capacity, but I resigned to that notion years ago as I approached 'midlife.'"
