I think that the Tony Hawk's series is possibly the best ever. It is so addictive. The first one was amazing, it was original. However, as the Tony Hawk games keep coming, the more unrealistic. I skate and I can tell you how hard it is, even the first game is unrealistic! The third game is just to commercial, mind boggling tricks that no one could ever do are in it.

The game should maybe start to decrease its level of unrealism. The game is making skating popular, but soon it will make it unpopular when people see that the pros can do nothing compared to the game.

By the way, I did a heelflip to axle stall today!

Oh...you're talking about the virtually IMPOSSIBLE moves like the long grinds. Right...now I get ya!

I can do a nose grab and also pull off several grinds, but most of the time land flat on my face.

What tricks can you do? The pros cannot hold grinds for that long, and you rarely see a pro pull of a 900 Crossbone.

It didnt take me long to beat the 2nd one for 64. I got all the gaps and beat the game with every skater under a month, and i had exams!

Do you skate Samos? And even in the game Elissa Steamer says that kids have to realise that most of the tricks the pros can't do.

Tony Hawks 3 is class, and those flatland tricks are fantastic.

It may be unrealistic for you MonkMonk, but for the real pros it's simple, just like the game!
