There is actually a video on how Tony's pro skater video game did indeed do just what you are talking about. Its amazing what they are doing now. I can wrap my head around it but only barely. I skated from the mid eighties to the mid 2000's. I was the highest you can get in the Amateur division with 3 sponsors for a while. I was lucky to grow up in a great skate scene and then move to an area where we built it up to be a great skate scene with some pros moving there for it. I've got so many great stories. My first demo for one of my sponsors we had a 5 ft half pipe built in the parking lot of the business. A band came and played for us while we skated. I think I was like 16. After the show I talked to the band and they gave me their cassette that only had two songs on either side, the same two songs. Loud Love and She's got a gun. Still have that cassette.




Here is the video about the video game changing skateboarding.
