Inspired by this thread, I downloaded Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD yesterday. It...uh...it's not nearly as fun as I remember. Tony Hawk 2 was one of my favorite games on Dreamcast, but I just don't seem to enjoy this game anymore.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

I never liked the Tony Hawk games.  I used to be happy with a tre flip.  The game is very superficially concerned with actually skating.

I took a look at the "how to" vids with Tony Hawk and Mike Vallely yesterday.  Pretty good, they'll come in useful!

*edit* this is good:

Hey man, ice skating is fun. 

Until the f*ckhead hockey players start shaving ice up on your crotch because they think its funny, and then you punch one in the eye and get thrown out.

I've changed my new years resolution to casper slides.  If someone gets a box out down the green, I'm going to try powerslides, casper slides and primo slides

*edit* yikes, desperately needed some new shoes, and managed to grab these for £30!



stoked  :mrgreen:

How's this working out for you?  Weather is starting to clear up here and spring is finally feeling like spring. I've skated a few times over the last couple weeks. Feels great to get the legs conditioned again. It's been a loooooooooooong winter here in new England.
I'm on the fence about new shews. I've been tearing up a pair of emericas, but I can't seem to let them go. NOT loving the new enjoi deck, but a 7.5 width is getting harder to find these days...

Funny you should mention it. I was just in a skate shop yesterday checking out long boards. They only had a small handful, though, and none of them seemed right for me. Will probably buy one from SoCal by the end of April.

Still too damn cold for me.  Also, money could be an issue.  Fingers crossed O__o

Oh yeah, the University just built a sweet little skate spot right by my house, with all these perfect marble blocks.  Then they kind of ruined it by putting arm rests all over the blocks.  Jerks.

They literally filled the park in with dirt by my house because of skateboarding.

We'd crack all the plaster tiles while jumping off the stairs, lol
