Alright, so here we are, talking about skateboarding. You know, it’s kind of wild how this new batch of skaters is tearing it up, right? They’re like, redefining what’s possible — from doing crazy tricks to making rad videos. Honestly, some of these kids make me wonder if they’re even from this planet. And you know what? It’s awesome to see this energy. It’s like, the future of skating is in good hands. Or feet… you get me.
So, there’s this skater, Chloe Covell. Ever heard of her? She’s this dynamo, snagging gold at the X Games at just 13. Crazy, right? Anyway, she’s part of the upcoming Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 game. Yeah, that game. She basically says it’s a big deal because, well, it kind of is. The game’s a legend. It got people into skating before, so why not again? It’s like this never-ending cycle. Players hit the virtual ramps, get hooked, and boom — they’re out there for real. Totally mind-blowing how it works.
And then there’s Andy Anderson. I mean, this guy — what a story. He’s got this style that’s a mix of old-school and new flair. He talks about how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 taught him trick names and got him chasing high scores at comps. He even reckons the game saved Freestyle Skateboarding. Say what you will, but that’s a pretty bold claim.
Oh! And the whole “Create a Skater” thing — you know the mode where you kind of design your dream skater? He feels like he’s living it in real life. Which is both insane and very cool. It’s like life imitating art imitating life. Or something like that.
Anyway, I guess in July, when the new game drops, these skaters are set to push the limits even further. It’s like a baton — they’re just running with it. Or skating. Whatever, you get the idea.
