Skate 3 King Of The Road

[TheIronz]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, Skate 3's own KOTR.

I imagine the formula is familiar with most of you, but for those that have not seen it.

1) A list of challenges will be compiled in secret, it will be shared once the contest starts on Monday 9th / March
2) Riders and teams have one month to complete as many challenges as possible. Contest ends Monday 13th / April
3) Judges will watch all footage and award all "best, longest, biggest" bonus points
4) All footage will then be edited into team montages complete with scoring and challenge titles

The contest is open to both Xbox 360 and PS3 and will take part in Port Carverton, so no addition DLC will be required. The challenges will be a mixture of traditional skate challenges, and more wacky novelty challenges. The only requirement is that you must be able to get the raw Skate 3 clips to me. The team with the most points at the end of the contest will be crowned, King Of The Road.

*Please keep clips at least "loosely realistic", Realistic stuff just looks better, but no-one will be a nazi about it.*

During the month of filming, I will open open a DropBox or similar for everyone to send me clips as and when you choose. You can also send any extra clips of general skating for filling out the team parts. If you wish to enter or be a judge, please drop a message below.

[EmmitBrown]

Sign me up while theironz hot

Badump tchshhhhh

[arthurnunes98]

so its like xbox only? dlc required?

[EmmitBrown]

I vote for any type of capture so those of us without cap cards, or certain Skate.s on ps3, can participate.

Edited by Big Bird's cousin Dee: i also vote that the spot specific challenges should be main game map only, just so everyone has a chance...or maybe for some have a main game spot and an optional dlc or something...idk hopefully some more heads chime in so we know what dlc everyone has

[TheIronz]

I never even thought of that, but that's why you guys kick ass. I think Port Carverton only and although cap-cards would be nice, Im far from turning anyone down that wants to take part.

If you got Skate3, and you can get me clips, Your in!

[arthurnunes98]

so i would only need someone to record the clips then, i'm in man

[TheIronz]

I've added both of you, and clarified the No-DLC, cross platform stuff. I've just thrown us in as seperate teams until we (hopefully) get more riders and can get a nicer spread.

Where are the actual teams at? I was expecting some of the big name crews to be ready to throw down!

[EmmitBrown]

You can't spell "Win" without "I" and there's no "I" in "Team"...Skate.4 - Split Up, Throw Down

[momadaddy]

I'll do it

[Tabloid]

I'm in

My only possible dillema is timezones, as I think most dudes on here are from the US, but it should be easy to coordinate

[TheIronz]

Thankyou guys so much.

I thought about timezones, but with a full month to film I think everyone should get a good chance at it. There will be some team challenges to keep the incentive there, but a team could do perfectly well if everyone got their clips solo.

Anyone have any idea's on how we decide who goes on what team? Randomise maybe? Or could we all decide like grown-ups without bickering? haha

[Felly]

When do you want to release it?
Because at the moment my pc is dead, so can't do shit atm. But i can ask if i could use my brothers laptop, but if that's not possible.....

Hope my pc is fixed in time so i can join KOTR

[TheIronz]

This is very much open to discussion.

I think that the best bet, would be like second monday of march, and running for 4 weeks. What does everyone else think about it?

[TheIronz]

I also just thought, we are gonna need judges. Im sure we can get together judges between the competitors, but if any "impartial adjudicators" out there wish to step up, that'd be awesome.

[xfreeZe]

yeee I´m down

[TheIronz]

Your in Freeze.

Has anyone got any preference on who they wanna be teamed with?

Edit: I've decided the start date of the comp. Monday 9th March

Edit: Edit: Made the OP a little neater and more understandable

[arthurnunes98]

yeah timezone sucks... and i think we dont have to care about the teams as long as they are all equal, is just a fun shit hahaha

[TheIronz]

Yeah, I'm down with a randomised team, but if anyone does have a preference, and it isn't unfair to everyone else. Let me know.

Im up to about 30 challenges already. This list is gonna be a big one! Obviously you aint gotta film everything, but there will be plenty of choice on what you do film.

[Felly]

when i'm home from school, i will ask it for the second time if i can use my brothers laptop... because i really want to be in this!

If i'm in, i want to be in a team with Freeze do, hes my homie hahahaha

[xfreeZe]

Yis bluud

[EmmitBrown]

Bump for the Knights of the Round, or whatever this thing is called

[TheIronz]

Although I've titled it King Of The Road, I've been calling it King Of Carverton to avoid confusion. Call it what you will...

I think the list is prolly at around 100 challenges right now, trust me, there will be no shortage of what to try and do next.

Ideally though, I'd like 1 more person, 3 teams of 3 would make a better video that 4 teams of 2 in my head atleast.

[EmmitBrown]

Im calling it Klaws of the Rooster then

[TheIronz]

Anyone got any challenges they would like to see added? I think im just about done with the list other than what you guys may have come up with.

[Felly]

Could anyone please film me?
Freeze, or coola or someone else? otherwise i'm out of KOTR

[Felly]

IM IN!! My home FreeZe is filming my ass!

[TheIronz]

Cool Felly, Im gonna throw you in with FreeZe for now. Probably gonna make this a 3x3 type thing but im not 100% how active my to buddies St0nedStar and AlbinoRhino plan on being, wouldn't be very fair to somebody if they had 2/3 of the team being abit slack.

So we will see how it pans out if we get more riders or not, if we go with what we have now, you guys can just be a threesome team, shouldnt be a huge advantage if your filming together. I'll just tweak certain challenges to fit.

Edit: I think its about time we got some Team Names in. Anybody got any opening suggestions?

[arthurnunes98]

freeze do u have a PS3? if so, could you also record my clips?

[Jonobn]

Is there any room left?

[EmmitBrown]

Is there any room left?

zebraman is on my team. i called it first

[TheIronz]

Jonobn, your in homie.

[Jonobn]

Yayz!

[EmmitBrown]

Who will be editing? My clips will be 1080p .mov files. Let me know if a different, and which, format would be preffered.

[Jonobn]

Only problem is I no longer have a computer. So I can't record my clips.

[EmmitBrown]

I don't care. I'm keepin him on the team. (That was directed @ironz regarding the zebra's lack of computer.)

@zebra do you have any other options? Could you record it with a digi phone and email clips? If you can think of any way to get clips, go for it...if not no biggie. Im not kickin anyone from the team for lack of participation, tho.

[Jonobn]

@Emmit hit me up on Xbox in the am so we can talk aboot it. I just got off work so im gonna crash. I'll be on tomorrow most of the day tho. Plus, then I can give a sneak peek at a few new parks.

[TheIronz]

Emmit: I will be editing. Im sure everyone's gonna be sending on all kinds of resolution clips and formats, so whatever you get at the end of capture of whatever is fine. If worst comes to worst I will ask later if something else is available or find or buy a convertor.

And on the Jonobn note, Like Emmit said, any capture method is fine so webcam it, digi-cam or phone cam is all good, if you are gonna go down that route, Try and get a tripod or something to minimize shaking if you can, and also try and save up a bunch of clips and film them together, so they have the same background light and stuff.

and finally, Any thoughts on team names? Maybe go with a theme and everyone gets something related. Literally first thing off my head would be like.... Fast food? Team Burger, Team Fries, Team Shake and team.... Apple pie?!

Something like that... but not that... unless we got some real ideas. Im for either.
