Welcome back to Shred School 101! Trick two is going to be the shove it and pop shove it, which are technically a little bit different. This is going to be the first time the board does something without you and you land back on it. But it won’t be that bad because you’ll see […]
Welcome back to Shred School 101! This time, we’re going to tackle the ollie. It’s going to be tough, but it’s worth it. Let’s do it! The Ollie is the most foundational trick in modern skateboarding. The trick was brought to flatground from ramps in 1982, and is responsible for skateboarding’s popularity. So what does […]
I’m Aron, AKA Rad Rat. I first started teaching skateboarding tricks on YouTube 17 years ago. For the past couple of years, I’ve been juggling injuries and health issues, and it’s been almost impossible to keep skating. I was wheelchair bound for a bit, and I used a cane for a while after that. This […]
You know, I’ve got to admit. I had some trepidation going into this game. The last two games in the series were hard. Like, tear out your hair and smash your controllers hard. And in the trailers, it showed that this new version added in a bunch of stuff by moving to 3D. Branching paths, […]
I recently replayed all of Skate 1 – every single challenge except for the optional pro games of SKATE. Sure, I did it with all the controls reversed, which made it a little more painful than it needed to be, but I feel like that gave me a really good look at how it might […]
When this game was announced, I wasn’t sold. They’ve tried and failed to remake these games before. What I was looking for is for these games to be better or equal to the originals in every way. The graphics will be better, but what if the animation is worse? Or the gameplay? There’s no reason […]
So this was discovered by Morten on the thpsgoat Discord. I learned about it through Vexilion on Youtube. Here’s what you do: Install Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker Open the THPS1+2 Demo In UUE4U, pick the game and inject the .dll Switch back to the game and start a single session Hit the tilde key […]
I modded a Skater XL deck! It’s just a deck I designed for fun a few months back. Might as well put it to use. Here’s what you do (PC version only): Download this file: Deck_Rad-Rat.zip Unzip the image file into This PC > Documents > SkaterXL > Gear Fire up the game and scroll […]
Skater XL has a really advanced trick system, even if it is somewhat limited. The amount of tricks is lower than most skateboarding games, but every time you do the tricks, they look different. In other words, no, there aren’t late shove its and no complies and street plants or darkslides, but you can do […]
If you want to follow along with this challenge, it’s a little tougher than setting up Pro Skater 4. They got a little fancy with the programming this time, and it won’t load a modded save without messing with the .exe file. So here’s what you do. Install the PC version of the game. If […]
