Okay, let’s dive headfirst into this world of skateboards and wild tricks. I mean, it’s pretty wild how a plank on wheels can spotlight talent from every corner of this planet, right? Anyway, this latest crop of skaters is just tearing it up. They’re pushing around in big-name contests and dropping mind-blowing vids. You see new faces, new moves, and—yeah okay, maybe it’s cheesy—new hopes for the sport’s future.
So, Chloe Covell—she’s all of 13—already snagged the Women’s Street Gold at X Games. Insane, huh? But Chloe says being featured in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 is like… a massive deal. And trust me, she’s buzzing: “It’s a total blast that game—it’s like, legendary or something.” She genuinely thinks if folks are jamming on this new version, they’ll catch the skateboarding bug in real life. I mean, I get it. Video games are kinda magical that way.
Now, toss Andy Anderson into the mix. This guy’s got a skating style that’s pretty much its own genre. He’s rolling back to those early Tony Hawk days too. (Which, random thought, feel like a lifetime ago). Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 had him pretty much glued to learning trick names when he was a kid. And the way he riffs about freestyle tricks—like, they’re alive because of the game—makes you stop and think.
And let’s not skip this part: he says he’s living like a real-life “Create a Skater” character with some next-level achievement unlocked. This guy’s pumped, to say the least.
With the big July launch of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, it’s these shredding, rolling dynamo kids who’ll keep racking up those combo points. I say, let’s watch them fly.
