Could be yes, I don't remember their names (the only reason I remember Tony Hawk is because his is in the title and mostly because I am not particularly interested in skateboarding and skaters even less, sorry). The guy who flipped his board on the side and slid across a surface like it was nothing. It's probably because it's different too. To my untrained eye the other skaters did kinda similar things. Halfpipe (is that the right word?) is not the same as those... empty pool-like things but it is mostly back and forth.

All of their stuff is of course impressive but those wizard moves were especially so.

Watching video game skaters do ridiculous vertical tricks is obviously exaggerated but Rodney Mullen's stuff basically came as close as my brain thought we could get to the ridiculous grind tricks (and later the ground tricks) in the video games. This is the Tony Hawk 3 video I mentioned.

THUG is complete! Look forward to American Wasteland next week, with Jacob taking over for the story, though I will do Classic Mode when we get around to that.

Neat. Never saw these games past 4 so I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi. I forgot your name. Whatever.
My... point is...
Hi. Your head's on fire.
For those who haven't seen it, we've begun American Wasteland next!
(We're skipping Underground 2 for now due to recording issues. We'll try again after THAW.)
