i know it wasnt trying to be tony hawks with stick control. but it just didnt do anything for me.

skating is one of those things that doesnt interest me at the best of times, but tony hawks managed to make it exciting just cos it was so OTT and exagerated (although its long past being a good series now). skate brings it back down to reality, and sadly for me, skateboarding in reality is about as boring as it gets.

"Different strokes for different folks" thats how they say. Personally I found doing a simple ollie ( not to mention advance tricks ) rewarding as hell .... Peace !

Hell YEAH!:D

Love to make the hardflip and then a rewarding grind. Can't remember what my favorite grind is called... You know the one with the tail. Anyways, Skate 2 is gonna rock! I think that Skate is for people that like real skating.
