It is with this lack of basic knowledge that I hesitantly tried out Tony Hawk: Ride recently.Tony Hawk: RIDE focuses on innovation and fun, bringing the 1 best-selling action-sports franchise to the forefront with cutting-edge technology for the hardcore fans and accessibility for the mass audience. Sure, I know what a half-pipe is, and I've seen an ollie performed once or twice, but when it comes to the 'real' sport, I am a total novice. DETAILS: Please Check Out The Pictures For More DetailsSeptemI've never been a skater, and I won't purport to be aware of the skateboarding culture in any sizeable way. No buttons, no thumbs, no analog sticks-just you on the board.ITEM: Up For Sale Is A PS3 Tony Hawk RIDE/SHRED Skateboard REPLACEMENT WIRELESS USB RECEIVER DONGLE. Bundled with the Ride game, the unique motion-sensitive board controller redefines the action-sports genre by translating your body motions into the game. Experience the true thrill of skateboarding as never before through the revolutionary new skateboard controller in Tony Hawk: Ride.

Instead of using a traditional controller, Ride will instead use a wheel-less skateboard peripheral that allows you to skate, flip, and do tricks by mimicking real actions that you would take on a skateboard.Tony Hawk: RIDE's skateboard gets FCC'd, USB dongle required for PS3 and Wii. While prior entries focused on complex button combinations that needed to be memorized in order to pull off tricks and gain points, Tony Hawk: Ride is all about well, the ride. Tony Hawk: Ride represents a complete change of pace for the Tony Hawk series.

There are also four IR sensors, placed in the middle of each side. The buttons are identical on both sides, so it doesn't matter whether you like to ride left or right. Once you get into position, you can start the game and navigate through menus by using the buttons of the left and right of the skateboard. You can position yourself on the skateboard anyway you want, but we were advised that it is best to keep your feet parallel, facing either the left or the right. The peripheral itself is very light, but it has a nice firm base which keeps you balanced.

However, the speed run has several areas where you can choose to go left or right, and to make a choice you will have to point the board in the direction you want to go. From here, your avatar will skate endlessly, without you needing to push more on the skateboard, which makes it a perfect opportunity to try out all you can do on the skateboard.Since Speed Run is a simple on-rails course you don't have to worry about actively steering. To begin, you stand on the board and then wave your foot in front of one of the IR sensors on the side of the board to push off. You can attempt to perform some simple jumps or a few tricks, but it's not entirely necessary.

The next mode we were able to try is where these skills will be put to the test. However, when I did, I was advised to grab the front of the board (or simply wave my hand in front of the IR sensor) to pull off a very simple grab trick.The speed run was a great place to get comfortable with the board, and I suspect veteran skaters will be able to grasp the mechanics of the board fairly quickly. Although this sounds simple enough, it did take a few tries before I was able to pop my leg up successfully in time to execute a perfect jump. To jump using the board, all you have to do is use the leg you have on the back of the board to pop up the front at just the right moment. During the speed run, there are plenty of areas where you can perform jumps and even try your hand at a trick or two. After I got a feel for basic maneuvers on the board, it was time to try something a little more difficult.

Unique Motion-Sensitive Controller: Using full motion sensing technology, the intuitive skateboard controller allows players to physically control the action by performing various movements and gestures on the board that directly translate into amazing tricks in the game. Without complex button combinations or analog sticks, gamers can literally step on the board to play.
