As i said previously 1 was the only decent one. That isn't to say i have not played ever one that has come since.

Steve Caballero FTW. I used to buy his shoes, lol.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

I used to think Tony Hawks 2 was for gays because of manuals. When I first played it against someone and there were doing these mad combos, I thought fuck you, that's cheating. It just seemed to easy. Of course I love manuals now.

I wanna play TH1 now. You could jump so fucking high on it. I used to play the warehouse level all the time to try and get a high score. From the start, turn around, do a grab move on the quarter pipe to build your special up, then use the speed to jump the half pipe at the bottom through that weird hanging room with a christ air or something and land straight into the grind. Then keep doing flip moves off and into different grinds to build up the multiplier. Oh yeah!

I used to love TH1&2 but I never really got into them obsessed style. However, when bored at Uni I started playing 3 all the time. I became stupidly good. No exaggeration I think I was UK Champ style good. I bought TH2 a little while back but my PS2 has packed in and won't read CDs. Furthermore, I don't have a PS. All manner of shitness.

Did anyone play the secret skating bonus game on MGS2: Substance? It was shit, but quite funny. Solid Snake on a skateboard, humorous.

Tony Hawks indeed, but not really for me. I used to love playing the demo of TH2 when I was doing work experience at Virgin Megastores in year 10, we played it every break and lunch time in the staff room, briliant. But I was never that great at it, so I didn't really get into it too much.

Caps... I promise you you weren't UK Champ level good. Did you ever see some of the top scores in magazines? Some of them were like 50 million.

I really like those games, fun and not to hard but still quite challenging, amazing multiplayer too, clocked them all. One thing though, number four is actually amazing, well worth playing.

I used to love playing 4 on-line and plugging up a keyboard to the playstation. I'd generally just skate around knocking people off their boards and pretending to be a Spanish kid with very poor English. I once told a bunch of American kids that Tony Hawks was banned in Spain because of all the blood... not only did they fall for it, they asked me what happened with the Grand Theft auto games. I said they released them, but they were changed... "all love and no blacks" Oh man I make myself laugh.

Yeh the tony hawks games are awesome for just picking up and spazzing out on. Although they are a bit silly nowadays. I think the series peaked at 3 i reckon.. once you could do those spine transfers and stuff.. pretty much complete control over your board.

On the website for Tony Hawks (the comedian), he has a section where he answers e-mails from dumbass skaterboi's who think he is Tony Hawk (millionaire dumbass skaterboi).

Pretty sarcastic.

Yeah the PS2 Tony hawks were all crap. As were most PS2 games I played to be honest. PS1 was so much better!
