Carpet boarding has been a rainy day past time for skateboarders for years (see Joey Brezinskihere), so with the release of Tony Hawk's newest videogame, 'Ride,' he's expanded on that idea. The board controller is like a real board, but with an accelerometer and sensors.
Nothing will replace real skateboarding, but on a rainy day with your friends or at a sweet party, Tony Hawk's 'Ride' is a fun alternative. Jon Robinson, sat down with Tony Hawk to ask him some questions about the video game. Take a 'Ride' with Tony Hawk.
