THPS 3 & 4: The Skaters Return

Alright, here we go. So, imagine a world where skateboarding is this wild mix of chaos and art. That’s where these legends come into play. They took their boards and suddenly, bam, everyone’s talking about them. Courage and creativity? Check. These folks were like, “Bring it on!” whenever a new challenge popped up.

So, I heard Elissa Steamer once said, “Being in the original games was epic!” She’s that trailblazer—the first chick you could play as in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. It’s like her whole world flipped overnight. And you know what? She’s still stoked about it. Kind of like those moments that stick with you forever. No clue why, but they do.

Oh, and Rodney Mullen? That guy who came up with the kickflip? Total hero in the skate scene. He mentioned how Tony asked him to be part of it all. He didn’t really grasp what it’d mean at first—none of us did, honestly. But fast forward to tour time, suddenly he’s on top of a van, trying to sign autographs while the crowd goes nuts. I guess the van was shaking like crazy? Wild stuff.

Rodney also mused about how the game reached all these different skaters and kinda expanded our universe a bit—made people, even skeptical parents, see skaters in a new light. Skating is like more than just a sport; it’s this whole culture experience. And Tony’s game totally nailed that vibe with its music and art. Makes you feel seen, you know?

Anyway—whoops, hold that thought. New stuff’s dropping! This July, watch out for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. The gang’s all here, from the classic games to some new faces. It’s gonna be epic…again.
