Alright, so… skateboarding. It’s not just about flipping boards in mid-air or narrowly missing wiping out. It’s a whole vibe, like a soundtrack you never stop hearing. You’re probably wondering who made this world so epic, right? Well, let’s dive in.
First up, Elissa Steamer — remember her? The first female skater in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game. She was hyped, seriously. Imagine being in a game that everyone’s got their eyes glued to. She said it was “semi-life changing,” which, if you ask me, sounds like the best understatement ever. I mean, how could you not be jazzed about that?
And then there’s Rodney Mullen. Oh boy, where to begin? This dude basically invented the kickflip. Iconic, right? He once talked about how the whole thing felt like an honor, but he didn’t really know what was coming. Picture this: shop owners had to put him on a van roof just so he could sign stuff! Total chaos but in a rad way. It’s like the world spun differently after that game dropped.
Mullen also had some deep thoughts on how the game widened the skating tribe. Tricks got cooler, parents stopped freaking out, and suddenly skating wasn’t just for the outsiders. It’s like skateboarding became the universal chill zone. And that game? It’s more than just a game. It was this whole experience with music, art, and all the feels. Weirdly cool, right?
So, what’s next? Oh right, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is coming back to rock our worlds again. This July, get ready because a bunch of those legends are diving back in. Skateboards ready, folks — it’s gonna be a wild ride. Or, well, something like that.
