Need1eBanger here,
I'm a 27yr old dude from Alberta Canada. Been skating since grade 4 - 1994. Anybody who grew up in the 90's could tell you that skateboarding use to be a whole different kind of monster, compared to what it is today. I dont really skate too hardcore anymore due to a stack of x-rays & injury reports that I've accumulated over time. Anyways, I was always equally as good at editing crap on computers, video games etc. and my fave skating games of all time were Thrasher, Tony Hawk 2, and whatever THPS had that insanely good park editor with the "rail tool" & "gap tool" respectively. When Skate 1 came out, at first I was questioning if it (the controls) was even possible... but after about 3-4 months of steady practice I was finally able to bust tricks off/up/down obstacles with decently realistic skateboarding tricks. Skate 1 was my bread & butter. I played offline for about almost 2yrs, building up my skills until finally 1 day I had the Internet hooked back up. I went directly to the EA website & challenged anybody who thought they could lay it down against me, and after slaughtering all of my competition I found myself on 1 of their little "teams" - Hoodlum Skate crew, some badass motherf*ckers in the world of Skate. I must say. These guys were doin the 3flips outta blunt/nose slides before anybody else, before most people even asked if it was possible. Doin that under/through the rail 3flip sh*t. 1 of the guys in that crew had a link to Cuz, one of the original creators of the game. My opinion on Skate 3 is that the skateable world is an absolute joke. If it wasn't for the piss-poor skatepark editor they added, Skate 3 would have absolutely flopped dead. Over the course of about 1-1/2yrs I learned how to master the skatepark editor. The lengths at which EA went to implant such a worthless editor into their game is amazing, it's like they are trying to suck. I base my parks off the physics engine on normal difficulty, rather than make it look good for a picture when in reality it skates like sh*t. Snap-together parks are not cool, whatsoever. I may be a harsh critic but its because I have high expectations & I bring quality to the table w/parks ready to go to back that up.
