description: Another outrageous bet sends Tony Hawks on a travel adventure in an attempt to beat the members of the Moldovan soccer team at tennis. During this hilarious journey, he is taken in by gypsies, narrowly escapes a kidnapping attempt, and smuggles his way onto the Moldovan National Team train. And with the loser of the bet agreeing to strip naked and sing the Moldovan national anthem, this book is just too good to resist.
