skate

this is the only one I've uploaded so far, might some of the rest up later

I DID IT!

the tech challenges are hard: did the grind fs5-0 to fs tail one earlier

the year-end skateboard mag photo challenge was doing my head in too : /

game keeps freezing too; think I'm going to pick up skate.2

anyone else buying?

i'm gonna get skate 2, yeah. I'm just trying to do this challenge at the Matrix for Rob Drydek and Big Black where you grind to 360 Flip to FS Crooked. It's annoying me.

see that video you put up cozen, I never thought to do that spot by grinding so did some stupid combination of fliptrick to manual to fliptrick. It took me ages. Doh.

ah right, this rob and big black thing is just 360 flip to fs crooked not grind first, nailed it!

I couldn't seem to 360 flip up high enough to grind that thing.

i went for the middle spot where it's lowest and got it eventually.

took my old video down. Here's a new one with a lame grind.

oh god playing this online was horrific. Some dudes are so good, was playing spot battles, the guy does a bunch of 360 flips, hardflips etc. connected with manuals, gets up a 3x multiplier and then hit up a grind and did a bunch of flips on that, he got like 5000, I got about 800 :(

Me getting knocked the fuck out.

ow

haha, awesome.

I'm actually proud of this one!.

That was awesome!

I just picked up Skate 2 (I didn't play the first one as I just recently got a PS3) and managed to get a very strange bail about 5 minutes after I left the tutorial park:

spinning bulldog

haha, that's some WWF shit right there.

Really want to be playing Skate 2 today but I feel a bit shitty so didn't go to the shops and I don't have any CDRs or working newsgroups to hax0r it.

I apparently trigger all sorts of weird physics when I bail:

Bench Launcg

Imagine "Launch" for "Launcg"

haha, that's a good one too!

I can wipe out like nobody's business; the whole stay on the board and complete challenges isn't always easy.

Absolutely loving it despite my inability to complete challenges. Sucking horribly at a game but wanting to play it for hours is a great, great thing.

Well, this one required many, many bails before I got it right; the final landing is a bit hard, but better than a faceplant:

Who says you can't do Tony Hawk lines in Skate?

My favorite pic so far.

ha tht's awesome

playing skate online noises me up so much because the cunts just do 180 360 flip to manual to 180 inward heelflip and get a stupid 3x multiplier and it makes you feel like an idiot. Really want to play it with like minded pwnz0rz of the ILG variety once I get it going.

plus that video was pretty sweet.

should I get skate or skate2? skate is cheaper obviously.

for PS3 BTW

Get Skate 2 for PS3 - I'd love to play online but as was pointed out most everyone are asshats.

Ooo. Skate 2. Starting now!!!1111111111111111

this seems quite a bit harder than the first one.

I didn't play the first, but this one is kicking my butt. My career is not going well, though I must admit just skating around and finding a fun line is cool.

I am complete ass at anything vert related.

Good thing about this game: the graphics creator, although it would obv be much better if you could draw your own shit mspaint stylee rather than use their shapes and etc. but the text has allowed me to have a black deck with Bawbag written in it in pink. Which is awesome.

I'm up and running with Skate 2. Let's do this thing!

It's crazy how early in the game they expect you to beat Danny Way in a big air challenge. That was one of the last challenges in skate 1.

haha, yeah. I found the challenge about as hard as that challenge in the first one as well. Steep learning curve for someone who is new to the game.

The point thresholds seem to be a little more forgiving, but otherwise it's pretty damned hard.

don't actually know how you find them, but if you're on Xbox live I uploaded a spot, it's just a rooftop jump in to the old pool but it's ok. My gamertag is JimMessina

polyphonique here.

ouch

Nice aim! Hard to get a head right on the rail.

My latest moment of zen - a switch 540 quad kickflip

Here's one of my first videos:

That's a hoot!

how does i shot "pumping"?

this duelling snakes race is killing me.

oh fuck off, a quick google tells me i have to trick through the checkpoints. doh.

This game is so much harder than the first one. I'm stuck on a bunch of different things, it's humiliating!

yeah I know, I have 4 pro challenges that I'm stuck on. One of them, the Alien manual shop, is definitely achievable, I've just made a mess of it a few times and got bored, the other ones, vert with the vampire, blaow!!, and can you spell girl? I'm nowhere near doing.

anyone figured out the easy way to do the danny way challenge yet?

the camera DLC looks neat, but fuck if I'd pay for something shd be in the retail game

I think I may have finished this game, apart from a few "Do this trick that is impossible for polyphonic to do on command" missions.

I think I might be done too, though there are many things left to accomplish. I hate the "do this trick and then this other one" and playing S.K.A.T.E. All the ones that let you decide what to do - do a grab over X, a flip over Y - I'll spend all day figuring out what line I need; but screw the other crap. I'll just freeskate so I can shut off pedestrians, traffic & security.
