The sport's popularity has swelled and shrunk over the years. In 2006, U.S. skateboard sales were $76.1 million, a 2% decline from a year earlier, according to the National Sporting Goods Assn. (from LA Times article) I cant seem to find a hard number of units sold, though maybe this will give you an idea.
Here's a small piece of info that will give you some idea:
In the past four years Hawk has become a one-man marketing phenomenon. Sales of Hawk-branded items generate more than $250 million annually, and Hawk himself has earned an estimated $10 million in each of the last two years. He is represented by the William Morris Agency and has a personal publicist. His sister Pat, a onetime backup singer for John Denver and Michael Bolton, runs Tony Hawk Inc., which employs 75 people. The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game series has amassed about $450 million in sales since its introduction in the fall of 1999.
