Of all the skateboard games we have covered thus far, tony hawks is by far the most popular and well known. And possibly the most well designed. This is the first game in the series, released in 1999 before the new millenium. It rapidly got released on the Nintendo 64, NGaga, and Dreamcast systems. Becoming the most recognized sports video game of all time.

In Tony Hawks pro skater, you mostly ride around perform tricks, grinds, and aerial stunts. The better your moves, the more points you score. And If you get enough points, you can not only perform new skateboarding moves and tricks, you also unlock new features of the game.

I enjoy playing in career movde, where you have 2 minutes to skate the park and collect the donuts. You must also collect points, so you need to pull off skateboard tricks while racing against the clock. The multiplayer modes include skate battles and graffiti wars.

Many different versions of Tony Hawk have been released for different consoles, and they are still under development today. Its been said tony has made over $50 million dollars being the sponsor of this skateboarding game, what a lucky guy!

Disney Skateboarding

This game is also known as disney all star sports, and was first released in 2002 by Konami. You can skateboard as mickey mouse, donald duck, and other classic disney characters, who you’d never expect to see featured in a skateboarding game! Although to be honest, the version released for gamecube did very poorly in the market, and it never received a single good review. Most hardcore gamers were complaining of the lack of features and boring levels. This is easy to understand.

But personally, I think its the greatest skateboard game ever to be released, as the tracks are just out of this world. Have you ever been to disney land? The game is like that, except on a skateboard. You can go off insane jumps, create your own parks, have skate battles, and complete missions. I believe it takes the sport to a whole new level. Overall I think the gameplay of this skate game is really top notch, and the music sets the mood nicely.

Skateboarding Games

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. Playing skateboarding games is not a crime, its lots of fun! This whole thing started sometime in the 1940s, when surfers were looking for a new way to have fun. Nobody can really say who created the first skateboard, but it started around this time period over 60 years ago. Skateboarding Games started to really become popular in the 1990′s, as they allow skaters to perform crazy tricks without having any real skill or risking any kinds of injury. Its this virtual sports entertainment which we all love.

The first boards were created in California, and sold by local surf shops. The idea was to give the surfers something to do when they couldn’t ride the waves. If you’ve ever met any die-hard surfers you know what I’m talking about. They are always looking for something exciting to do, and skateboarding not only gave them a practical way to get around town, it was also quite similar to riding the waves. Did you know that skateboarding was originally known as sidewalk surfing? The trend picked up quickly, and soon everybody was riding all over the streets.

On this website, we review different skateboard games. We also take a close look at the history of skateboarding as a sport. It was in the 1980s when skateparks, tricks, and skaters in general developed a culture of their own. Before that It wasn’t so well known. You’ll notice that things generally explode with the right media attention, and skate magazines in particular were responsible. This sport was no longer just something for surfers when they were bored!

Often skaters are seen as being rebellious youth who hate authority. Often times there will be much resistance to new skateboarding parks being created in neighborhoods, or games being held. In norway, this was actually illegal for a period of time, as it was seen as a dangerous sport which could not be considered a game.

The most popular of the skateboarding sports games is the tony hawk series. This broke records for the gaming industry and skaters everywhere loved to sit at home and enjoy the full experience. There are so many expansions that new versions of Tony Hawk are still being developed and prepared for the arcade. Infact, the arcade version will even feature a skateboard that riders can stand on, how cool is that?
