Skateboarding sounds are great too. Very realistic. This too gets a 10 from me. This game has ok controls after a lot of playing but when its your first time. Not good for beginners. They might drop this game before even learning how to play. The controls are a little un-responsive but after a while, you adjust to them quickly.

Do not learn this game while working on a THPS game! Actually, this game has a story. Well, sort of. He skates with such ferocity that his talents are often compared to Superman. Westgate's blue-collar upbringing working with his father as a cranberry farmer in Wareham, Massachusetts , helped cultivate his work ethic and approach to skateboarding.

It's that drive that earned him Transworld Skateboarding Magazine's Rookie of the Year as well as the fan favorite award for his only X Games appearance in Real Street in Alexis Sablone broke onto the skate scene with her memorable section in "P. Ladd's Wonderful, Horrible Life," but that was just the beginning for her skate career. It turns out, Sablone could skate competitions pretty well, even though by her own admittance, she has "always kinda hated them.

But there's much more to Sablone than skating. She recently finished her master's degree at MIT with a focus on architecture after graduating from Columbia University in So throughout all of these X Games medals, she also has been juggling school full time.

All terrain skater Chris Senn will forever hold a special place in our hearts as the first gold medalist in Skateboard Park at an X Games event. In , Senn was named Thrasher Magazine's Skater of the Year for his incomparable skills on tranny and in the streets. That same year, at the inaugural Extreme Games in Newport, Rhode Island, Senn took gold and left an indelible mark on the event for years to come.

Senn went on to medal many more times in the X Games before leaving competitive skating behind. He currently resides in Hawaii, where he's a tattoo artist at Eastern Classics Tattoos.

And more than two decades after his introduction into the X Games, he continues to shred like a champ. Legendary all terrain skater, Mike Vallely, has made only four X Games appearances most recently in 's Real Street series , but he is widely regarded as a pioneer in skateboarding.

The skateboarding icon was born and raised in Edison, New Jersey, and he is often credited with being one of the early innovators of street skateboarding in the s, alongside Mark Gonzales, Natas Kaupus and Tommy Guerrero. He currently owns and operates Street Plant Skateboards with his daughters, and won the fan favorite vote for his Real Street part in Known as the Brazilian barnstormer, Pedro Barros, the unofficial crown prince of Florianopolis, Brazil, is the most entertaining skater to watch in any discipline.

Barros can skate any terrain, as was showcased in his Vans "Propeller" part, but having vert ramps and bowls in his backyard for his entire life has made the skating transition seemingly effortless for him. He's so comfortable, self-aware and adaptive on his board that it's not uncommon for him to lose his baseball hat while going upside down on a , continue his run, lap back around and grab it on the next pass as if it were nothing.

Barros won X Games Park gold as a rookie in He was the first rookie to win Skateboard Park gold since Ryan Sheckler did it in He currently has nine X Games Park medals under his belt six gold, three silver.

At age 17, Tom Schaar has already made eight X Games appearances, won five medals and is on pace to be one of the most accomplished and winningest X Games skaters ever. The Cardiff, California native's list of accomplishments before he has even graduated high school are so unbelievable that it's comical. From being the youngest skater to land a in December to landing skateboarding's first air, Schaar is on track to break more records and win more medals than most skaters could ever dream of.

Guy Mariano was the first child star of street skating, making his debut at age 13 in Powell Peralta's classic video "Ban This.

He eventually left for Girl Skateboards and went on to have epic parts in every Girl video ever released. But like any child star who experiences fame at a young age, he found himself dabbling more in excess than skate success for many years. In , he returned to the world of professional skateboarding with a comeback part in Lakai's "Fully Flared" that shocked everyone.
