It's in the Game...not really.

I was reading today that EA sports is about to come out with some new games called Skate 2 and Skate It. I played every Tony Hawk game and own all of the ones up to his "Underground" game. I got away from the games because they were getting way to not believable, I mean alot of the stuff was impossible. Well, nothing is impossible I guess, but shit would be hard as hell indeed. So I laided off of the skate games for awhile, until last year when EA released the game Skate. It is the best game by far, it has the best controls and more true skateboarding in the way you play the game. Back to what I had read earlier, now EA has a second game plus "Skate It" for Nintendo. So you know what that means, they got a new game designed for Nintendo DS and Wii Balance Board.
I think it'll be fun to play that game, even though they still got same amazing shit you can't do in real life. I like the game and the technology is sick for video games now. It's cool to have those games for those days it's raining, way to humid, or snow outside. Hell, if your hurt, if sick, whatever that will keep you from being outside and skating for real.
Scott Blackwood, Executive Producer for Skate franchise had made this comment in the interview I read: “We knew it would be an exciting challenge to bring the soul and feel of skateboarding to the Wii and Nintendo DS,” With fresh new designs and gameplay components built from scratch, we’ve been able to, once again, capture the true experience of skateboarding in a completely innovative way.”
It also said in the interview about the Wii Balance Board which gives players a fresh way to create their own signature skateboarding style. Hahaaha That's kinda funny to me, the only way to "create your signature style" is to go skate in real life. I mean go buy a board, trucks, wheels, bearings, grip, a skate tool, and get some shoes that feel good to your feet. Practice, practice, practice, practice, don't get frustrated, your going to fall and your going to get hurt. Just got to be strong get back on your board and keep at it. Be mindful of what you can do, don't ollie 15 stairs when you can barely ollie up a curb..because you'll really get broke off something proper.

That old saying "you gotta crawl before you can walk" that applies in skateboarding too. You can't do treflips before you learn kickflips or skate transition or the skatepark before you learn how to drop in or pump up the transition. Kids always bug me out with that, don't want to learn the fundamentals first want to go straight to the ill stuff first. Be easy young grasshopper, in due time..be patient. So yeah fun times ahead if you really go out and have fun riding your real skateboard. It is freedom to do what you want when you want. No referee, no team (unless sponsered), no plays, just you, your mind, your board. Just don't let the game take over, get out and enjoy your life.
Skate or Die.

I also hope to see you on this day.
