Blockbuster in Keswick, across the lake from ya bud haha. Only had two PS3 copies, and I got one.

One good thing I've noticed is that bails look alot better in game then the demo. Theres no terrible slowdown everytime you fall. Theres definatly been upgrades since the demo.

EDIT: Thats sick, I just noticed my skaters now brandishing a nice scab on his elbow.

GASLIGHT!!!

Ahem...played 5 minutes of Career then spent 3 hours with my roommates playing Hall of Meat. So fucking epic.

Dyrdek's Rail Hopping challenge can fuck right off, I don't even understand what I'm supposed to be doing, it credits different tricks to what I thought I'd done. Like, I thought I'd kickflipped over the first rail, but in the list of already done tricks it came up as ollie, and the only ollie I did was to get onto the rail in the first place. And you have to get onto the rail because you can't straight jump over the ones that cross your path. It's not very well explained :\

EDIT: Nevermind, somehow managed it >_>

Even established sports sims like NHL now have custom soundtracks, why can't Skate? The stuff there is ok, but it'd be awesome if I could add to it with my own stuff.

Where can you even change what music you're listening to in the game?

[Clawson]

Pause->Game Settings->Audio Settings->Music Player

I think.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha. Best spot ever.

Still can't figure out how to upload a graphic....I clicked send to game, then nothing.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Ruki, look for 'Custom Shirt/Deck/Hat' ect when you go to pick your short, then at the bottom of the list of logos should be your created gfx.

Me and Maxx reckon we should make an effort to produce an EWB skate vid. We're already working on an EWB team design. It is not going well, largely due to the horrible graphic creation tool on the Skate website.

Anything that requires you to do a spot with a patrol of guards is just obnoxious. Even with Big Black with you. It's just bodies in the way of everything.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Fuck me, you'll all hate it when you reach the 'Pump 3 Corners of the bowl and transfer hip to hip' challenge for the Skateboard Mag (I'm pretty sure), it's seemingly impossible.

[Cactus Drags]

I wish pumping was more intuitive. Also, I have created a spot. It is not great, but it is far, far better than Ruki's, which as far as I can tell is just part of a gate. It is silly that we can't name them, but if it could be named, it would be called "Bombin' the Spillway," is basically just launching off an angled bench over a ledge and into...well, the spillway. I am told that spots die if no one skates them, so please don't kill my spot

[Mountainous Cleavage]

I've made a couple sick ones too. I love how you can stack objects but it takes some work and glitching them out

[Cactus Drags]

I have not yet worked out how to stack stuff. Also, I wish you could prop stuff up against walls and whatnot to create ramps or sloping rails, there's not always one of those broken benches around.

[Ruki]

Shit, people can see my spot?

[Cactus Drags]

You shared it, dumbass.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Little tip for stacking stuff, put a kicker or something next to what you want it on if its low enough.

The other technique I use is the glitchy part of it, but it works. Take a red rail for example, if you push (continuously at an angle) the leg of it against a wall/ledge/ect., slowly but surely it will raise up. I'll try and record a clip to show you better.

EDIT: Anyone else made a see-saw rail? Great fun if you can balance it right.

What's the online like for this? Can you just do freeskate with your friends and what not?

[Maxx]

You can do freeskate sessions with your friends, in which you can do level specific challenges with your friends, ala Burnout Paradise
