Sure thing, let’s see how this goes. Brace yourself for a bit of chaos.
So there I was, thinking about… well, who knows what, honestly. Skateboarding, I guess? You ever get stuck on a thought outta nowhere? Happens to me all the time. Anyway — wait, yeah, skateboarding. These legends, right? They didn’t just win medals. Nah, they pretty much sculpted the skate world as we know it today. Courage? Check. Creativity? Oh, for sure. It’s like they could take on anything — even if it looked impossible. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Elissa Steamer, first lady on the scene in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game. Can we just pause here? Think about it: breaking barriers digitally and in real life. I love that. “Being in the original games was epic!” she said, and honestly, I’d be epic-level stoked too. Every time I hear that, I imagine her excitement bubbling like soda into the sky.
Then there’s Rodney Mullen, the wizard himself who conjured the kickflip. Kind of like if Gandalf skateboarded, maybe? He remembers the chaos — tour madness, rocking the van like it was a boat or something. “Blew my mind,” he said. Imagine that scene, would ya?
And it wasn’t just about tricks. Nah, Mullen goes on about how the game pulled in more folks, made skating more than just an outsider’s dream. Talk about community vibes. Even folks who wagged fingers at kids for skating started to get it… a bit, anyway. Tony’s game kinda wrapped up all those vibes — the music, the art. Made being a skater… well, cool. It’s like, finally understood, you know?
So, anyway — Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is rolling out soon. The skaters from back in the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4? Yeah, they’re ready to hit the grind again. Feels like a reunion of the OG rebel crew. And Tony Hawk, of course. He’s there too…
There’s more, but honestly, my mind’s racing off now — might catch up with it later.
