You can only imagine how exciting this is for me personally. Now that Activision has revealed that the Tony Hawk Ride board peripheral will be white when it finally releases, I'm among the elite few who used it when it was black. I'm at the epicenter of the maelstrom, like a guy who saw the Kennedy assassination from a different angle, or Michael Jackson's personal sandwich crust trimmer who "had noticed that he'd been acting sadder than usual, now that you mention it!"
RoboModo co-founder Josh Tsui also told GI.biz, "[the board] is the most advanced peripheral on the market. It really is going to usher a next generation of controllers for games." That's great Josh, but let's try to stay focused on this color change ushering in the next generation of my personal fame. Leave all interview requests, book offers, etc. in the comments below.

It seems so odd to have a Joystiq author refer to themselves as an individual. The way they constantly say "we" for everything had me half believing they were just separate lobes on the CollectiveJoystiqBrainInAJar-mass.

If I can't play it with just a controller then sorry, I am not buying it. They are going to alienate a shit ton of people with this, like Fight Night but on a larger scale. I see a controller configuration patch on the horizon, not too long after this releases.

Unfortunately, the quote was misinterpreted. The board will in fact be the design you see on the official Tony Hawk Ride website (black and brown surface with a white/offwhite underside).
