Man, there’s something about these old-school skaters that just grabs you, you know? Like they weren’t just on a board—they were living it, breathing it. They had this wild mix of guts, creativity, and a stubborn streak—kind of like that one song that gets stuck in your head out of nowhere. Anyway, these legends—let’s be honest, they’re more than ready to take on any crazy thing life hurls at ’em.
So, let me tell you, Elissa Steamer—remember her? She was the first female skater you could play in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. She was like, “Being in those original games? Epic!” Changed her life a bit, she said. I guess that much excitement is hard to shake off.
And then, Rodney Mullen—man, the kickflip genius. He goes, “Tony asked me to join. I didn’t even know what was coming.” Can you imagine? First tour after the game came out, and boom—folks were flipping out, rocking the van he was in. Like, actually shaking it. Insane, right?
Rodney added more, of course. He’s all about how the game brought in a bunch of new skaters. It somehow made everyone look at skating differently, like parents who finally stopped nagging kids because they saw them belonging somewhere. Skating’s not just shredding boards—it’s a whole vibe, as he puts it. And Tony Hawk’s game? It nailed that vibe with the music and art. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
So yeah, the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is dropping in July, and you’ve got the OGs making a comeback. It’s gonna be wild seeing them hit the pavement again. These aren’t just characters—they’re like the heartbeats of skating since the beginning.
Anyway, just throwing it out there. It’s cool to look back and realize how much of an impact these skaters had, you know? Feels like just yesterday I was watching them carve up every street they touched. Or maybe it was longer. Who knows.
