WELCOME TO A RAD INFESTED WORLD. There's a place on Earth where hot dogs and nachos are health foods, summer vacations last the year round, and punk rockers with mohawk haircuts are looked upon as mello dudes. It's a place where rulers are determined not by their fund raising talents, but by their power to dominate the streets with rad skateboarding skills.<BR>Here, the king of the road is none other than that skateboarding maniac - Rodney Recloose, owner of the Flesh 'N Asphalt Skateboard Shoppe. He, along with his freaked-out son, Bionic Lester, and their crazed cronies, Pete and Eddie, rule the streets with iron wheels. They're sort of a nuclear waste version of Al Capone and his once ruthless gang of gangsters.<BR>As a newcomer on the scene, with power aspirations of your own, you must prove yourself to Rodney and his free-wheeling weirdos. That means you'd better be on your toes when you challenge friends in free-style and downhill competitions packed with rock 'n rolls and rail slides. And you'd better be on your worst behavior when you come board-to-board with Lester in the "whack 'em upside the head" joust! (**intro from manual**)<BR><BR>All I really remember about this game is the halfpipe/ramp play. Definately one of the first, and still on of the best skateboard games out there. I was inspired by this game to hurt myself a lot when I was younger. <BR><BR>A few really good ramp tricks if you can pull 'em:<BR><BR>540° Ollie Pump moderately, ollie <BR> pressing either<BR> direction on the D pad,<BR> press the opposite<BR> direction to stop the<BR> spin<BR><BR>720° Ollie Same as 540 except pump <BR> a lot more and<BR> rythmatically.<BR><BR>Handplant Pump a lot, your pump <BR> determines how well it <BR> turns out, press back and <BR> B while on the lip of the <BR> ramp, you must use<BR> precise timing, hold the<BR> position for as long as<BR> you can for maximum<BR> points
