Alright, so there’s this whole new wave of skaters—like, seriously, they’re popping up everywhere and shaking things up. It’s wild how these young guns from around the globe are just diving head-first into major competitions and churning out some gnarly skate vids. They’re bringing all sorts of fresh moves and vibes, and honestly, the future of skating looks pretty rad.
And then there’s Chloe Covell. Man, imagine snagging the title of youngest Women’s Street Gold Medalist at the X Games at just 13! Absolute legend status. Chloe’s totally stoked about being in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4. She said it’s a huge honor, mostly because—I mean, come on—it’s Tony Hawk! She thinks the game gets folks hyped about skating IRL. Maybe it’s true. Or maybe people just want an excuse to fail spectacularly on a real board. Who knows.
On the flip side, you’ve got Andy Anderson. Now, Andy is a character. He’s got this quirky blend going on with his skating, mixing old-school flair with a sprinkle of modern pizzazz. He’s all about how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 schooled him on trick names back in the day. Like, who would’ve thought a video game would teach a whole generation how to nail those tricks? Andy’s convinced it saved Freestyle Skateboarding from being gobbled up by the Street Skate monsters. Bold claim, right? But hey, if anyone knows, it’s him.
Andy’s super pumped, saying he feels like he’s living out some kind of “Create a Skater” fantasy life. You know, like when you’ve finally hit that sweet spot in a game? That’s his reality now. Kind of makes you wonder what it’s like to have your wildest dreams digitized.
Anyway, with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 dropping this July, these skaters are on deck to keep pushing the limits. Should be a wild ride. But yeah, here’s to more epic combos and epic bails.
