Yesterday I was watching Tom Penny’s part from Flip – Extremely Sorry when I come across some comments from people who had no idea what they are talking about. Here’s one of them:

This comment above annoyed me so much that I decided to make this post. Some people don’t understand that some skaters are past their prime for example Chad Muska was at his prime in the video Shorty’s Fulfil The Dream. Rob Dyrdek was skating at his best when Alien Workshop Photosynthesis first hit the skate shops! Tom Penny is no different and just because his latest part wasn’t his best doesn’t make him underrated. Check out this video of Tom Penny skating in the 90s to see just how talented he was from an early age!

Skater Nation is the best skateboarding game I have played on the iPhone. It reminds me allot of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 (the first THPS game). This game has very good graphics for the iPhone and a surprisingly big map for a hand held device. The price is a bit steep but if you are a skateboarder or a fan of skateboarding games I think Skater Nation is well worth the cost.

To start of you have 8 charecters to choose from (both male and female). You can either play the career mode, free ride or play online. You can also change your deck, wheels and trucks for better bonuses.

The music is also quite good for a iPhone game. While all of the songs and bands are un-heard of they have a good mix of rock and hiphop.

The trick list is actually very good. You can do Kickflips, 360 flips, 50.50s, crooked grinds, impossibles and much more! The grinding is probably the hardest to get used to, try letting go of the joystick and just hold down the B button to finish them. it’s basically trial and error.

The controls are quite hard to get used to in the beginning but get much easier the more you play the game. Just remember than B + joy stick is for grabs and A + joystick is for flip tricks.

The story mode is actually very good. The main challenges consist of getting high scores (much like Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1, 2, 3/Underground 1 & 2) and performing certain tricks in a row (much like S.K.A.T.E 1 & S.K.A.T.E 2). The story mode is quite short but it’s certainly long enough for the price.

One of the coolest features about this game is that you can watch a replay of your gameplay at any time and even upload it directly to Youtube from inside the app!

This game is defiantly a must have for anyone who skates or anyone who just enjoys skateboarding games.

This is Justin Bohl skateboarding who is also a biology teacher at Tower High School. Who ever said that teachers are not cool?

Every time I watch a Ronson Lambert video on Youtube I always see comments saying he fakes his style. Is it really possible to fake style? even if he does try hard to skate with style isn’t it a good thing? Watch the video above and let me know what you guys think!
