i want to post a long and rediculous paragraph stating my journey into and out of the whole fake-skate (if you read that right yes that means i quit skate..). But the honest truth is play how you want to bro. if you enjoy jumping off a bulding and grinding a few cars then go ahead. i dont think i really "converted" into realistic skating, its just something i tried, got into and basically stuck with and evolved into my own skating. i mean my best trick in skate 1 was a fuckin darkslide so you can kind of see how i thought. but as i progressed i just tried to find ways to stay within the realistic realm and do incredibly difficult stuff, like 50-50 hippy jump manny for example.

so dont think of it as "doin it wrong". its more liek "doin it doggystyle"
