LOv3

"Mike Vallely told me that a lot of pro skaters wanted in on a new style of business. I didn't fully understand what Stacy Peralta was telling us, but I vibed with it, as did many others. I contacted a few of the pros I've interacted with during my time with Element, as well as a few others I thought would work well.

Obviously, Mike V was on the team. Chad Muska gave me my first real board, so I wanted him in. Arto Sarrti was the perfect archetype of what we wanted: flash style skating. You see something cool, so you do it. Paul Rodriguez was an up and coming star, and I wanted to see what he could do under Peralta. Finally, one of the modern day GOATs, Bob Burnquist, contacted me. Getting him legitimized everything we working for.

And, with a team together, Team LOv3 was born!

We wanted to showcase our first work in ways no one else ever has. Or could. Stacy and I (mostly Stacy) knew of some crazy spots around the world. We went from Jersey to Manhattan and Hawaii to Vancouver. We lit Moscow and Tampa up in ways they've never seen with challenges we wanted to beat. We hopped buildings, destroyed pools, and even showed off our gaming know how. Man, it was sooooooooo killler! Stacy struggled to keep up with orders, so the video was a huge success!

Anyway... I punched Eric in the face and got MY helicopter footage back, but whatever.

Skating isn't about the money for LOv3. It's the thrill of the air, the grinds, the crazy spots, and just vibing. I love it so much, and I look forward to what we're gonna be doing next..."

Tony Hawk's Underground holds up. I'll skip the 1000 word essay, rizzing it up, and just get it out now. THUG a perfect game, and consider this the review. My controller kinda sucked, so it wasn't as fun as I remember it, but I won't hold software back for faulty hardware. It's a little rough around the edges, story wise especially, so perfect may be the wrong adjective, but who cares. Live a little!
