Sure thing, let’s see… oh wait, where was I? Yeah, skateboarding… those legends who flipped the sport on its head, literally and figuratively. And it sounds crazy, but they mixed guts, a sprinkle of chaos, and well, sheer determination to roll skating into the mainstream. Honestly, these folks could probably ollie over a mountain, no stress.
Okay, so Elissa Steamer — big name here. First female skater in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game, can you believe it? Talk about a game-changer moment. She’s like, “Whoa, this is epic!” And even today, she’s still buzzing about it. Who wouldn’t be?
Then there’s Rodney Mullen. If you’ve ever tried a kickflip, you gotta thank this guy. When Tony asked him to be part of the game, he was like, “Yeah, honored, but what’s this gonna mean?” Next thing he knows, he’s being hoisted onto a van just to sign autographs. Madness, right? The van’s practically pogo-sticking from the crowd’s excitement.
And listen, the game’s reach? HUGE. Suddenly, it wasn’t just the rebellious best friend skating anymore. Mullen’s noticed how it brought in folks who’d never imagined themselves on a board. Parents even started nodding sagely, like, “Maybe my kid isn’t nuts for liking this.” Skating’s more than just boards and wheels; it’s a vibe, a lifestyle. Tony’s game nails this with its killer tunes and fresh art.
Oh, and hold up, new game alert! Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is cooking up a storm this July. Can you say nostalgia city? Getting in on this are those OG skaters you know and love. The excitement’s unreal.
So, who’s lining up? Let’s start with Tony Hawk. Classic, right? But there’s a whole lineup itching to grind those rails again.
And – wait, was there something else? Oh, right – happy skating!
