  I don’t know why so many people are commenting this or where they got the info from, but Street Sk8er and the arcade game Top Skater are two completely different games. They have completely different developers and publishers. They do look similar, but street sk8er definitely isn’t a port of top skater.

  Thrasher is excellent in one regard. It is as hard to play the game as it is to actually skateboard, which I think is what they were going for. It&apos;s supposed to be so precise and technical because skateboarding is extremely difficult to master, and tiny mistakes will cost you in bodily damage, not just points. I love the idea, hate the execution. It&apos;s the Dark Souls of skating games.

  Turbo is a movie about a suicidal snail that gets super powers and gets hooked up with a mexican fella that runs a taco stand. pretty decent movie all things considered

  Grind Session was great. I loved finding the keys to unlock hidden areas.

  Thrasher is as rough as arseholes but as a skater, I adored a more grounded experience instead of a game where you can do a kickflip McTwist over a moving taxi like it&apos;s nothing. It&apos;s a shame you hated it.

  The cop chasing you in the thrasher game is actually a rare occasion you get the 2nd person perspective, so kinda cool for that

  Honestly I love that Evolution Skateboarding has gradually developed a bit of a cult following over the years. For the longest time I thought I was the only person who unironically enjoyed it, glad to see I&apos;m not alone anymore lol<br><br>Edit: recently replayed it (dug out my old Wii to play the GameCube version) and yeah, it still holds up well but some of the incorrect trick names and the announcer had me laughing out loud... what the hell are a Disaster Slide, Grab Tack Knee, and a Primo Stool? Lmao

  Having not had any exposure to a skating game beyond THPS1, and not a fan of sports games in general, this was still engaging to watch. Your videos are always entertaining and I love what you put into them, especially actually filming yourself bailing to make a point (that looked like it hurt). Great work!
