SKATE IT



Skate It has Nintendo players riding with the skate pros, owning the best spots in San Vanelona and pulling off the sickest tricks using the popular FlickIt controls. Loaded with all-new gameplay features, Skate It breaks new ground by introducing innovative support for the Wii Balance Board which gives players a fresh way to create their own signature skateboarding style. Skate It unleashes the FlickIt revolution on to the Nintendo platforms, letting gamers use the Wii remote or the Nintendo DS stylus to string together their best tricks for the ultimate skate line. The Wii remote becomes a skateboard and reacts to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves. Players can also deepen this experience by planting their feet on the Wii Balance Board. Skate It brings the Skate franchise to a new level of creative ingenuity and gameplay excellence. [Electronic Arts]

"All I can tell people is don't let nobody bring you down. Hold your head up. Whatever you want to do, do it. I look at myself like&ahellip;I came from nothing, seriously nothing. There's always stuff out there to be done. If you want to be a skater and it's not working out, there's always something else. You got talent. Always. Hold your head up, thug it out. Just hope for the best. Always."

Danny Way who rides for DC Shoes is a skater on Skate It. Here is his Bio.

We've all posed the question, "Who is the greatest skater of all time?" Some might say there is no such thing. Others will argue that skateboarding visionary Danny Way, without a doubt, has come closest to owning this title. Throughout his impressive skateboarding history, D-Way has been winning competitions since he was 11-years-old. Repeatedly breaking numerous world records, including his own, Danny Way experiments with, and innovates skateboarding like no one else.

Quote:

"Skateboarding has really been a blessing for me because it's given me the freedom in life to be who I want to be&ahellip;I'm not trying to go out and be some hotshot showman. I really love skateboarding, I love what skateboarding stands for. The contributions I make to my sport are very well thought-out and done in respect to where I come from&ahellip;You can walk out of your house and jump on the thing and you're on your way. It's cheap, it doesn't need an engine, doesn't need gas. You can throw it in a closet, in the trunk of a car. There are not too many other things that can give you the fulfillment that is that at your fingertips, literally. You're on your way. A lot of fun and freedom."
