Activision details Tony Hawk Ride's 'celebrity' roster

by Ben Gilbert { Jul 31st 2009 at 5:45PM }

Though we could call the list of folks showing their faces in Tony Hawk Ride a whole mess of things, one we wouldn't call it is "celebrity." Rather than drop in famous folks like Steve-O or, umm, Wolverine, the list that Eurogamer nabbed features more actual skateboarders than anything else.

From Steve Nesser to Dustin Dollin to Mike "I beat up four dudes by myself" Vallely, the roster features little in the way of traditional Tony Hawk tomfoolery. Don't let the halfway-there hoverboard fool you, dearest reader, this is clearly a more serious skateboarding entry in the Tony Hawk game franchise. Peep the entirety of the list after the jump.

Alex Olson
Cara Beth Burnside
Christian Hosoi
Daewon Song
Dustin Dollin
Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins
Mike Mo Capaldi
Mike Vallely
Nyjah Huston
Paul Rodriguez
Rodney Mullen
Ryan Sheckler
Steve Nesser
Stevie Williams
Toe-knee Hawk

Toe-knee Hawk?

Digital tokyo @ Jul 31st 2009 6:03PM

i dont think he wants to be in this game

Pastry @ Jul 31st 2009 7:12PM

Obviously just Tony in T-Hawk's costume.

Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Jul 31st 2009 5:50PM

Tony Hawk go away no one likes you

Also: Dont let Wiizer see this board he will make us do one

Shadowbender (Wiizer Sweatshop Head of Abuse and Discipline) @ Jul 31st 2009 5:53PM

You should get 15 lashings for what you just said.

Longhorn (Sweatshop Infiltrator) @ Jul 31st 2009 5:58PM

ah first hand evidence...I mean, nothing

Or Is It Alton Brown? (Wiizer Sweatshop VP of Absolutely Nothing) @ Jul 31st 2009 6:01PM

If we're going to start making these goddmaned things, we're going to need more lead. Maybe some pure Sodium (It rapidly oxidizes in the presence of air.)

Hey, why not make Guitar Hero peripherals while were at it?

Moptimus Slime (Leader of Princess Griffins Royal Guard, Co-founder of Wiizers Sweatshop Inc.) @ Jul 31st 2009 9:02PM

we should make Guitar Hero peripherals that double as skateboard. Of course, do to budget concerns, employees must "legally purchase" (and not "steal") their own skateboards and Guitar Hero peripherals

bender, i'm official head of torture. you can assist me, but that is my department that you claim to be in.

Juande @ Jul 31st 2009 5:51PM

Toe-Knee? lol

Crimson_Ryan @ Jul 31st 2009 5:55PM

Darth Maul or I won't buy it.

I'm serious.

ToadStoolPorridge @ Jul 31st 2009 7:35PM

I remember when he was unlockable in one of the older games. His hoover board was the best.

ToadStoolPorridge @ Jul 31st 2009 7:37PM

No edit button :(

"his HOVER board was the best"

Although a 31st President board wouldn't be too bad either

Crimson_Ryan @ Jul 31st 2009 7:58PM

He was the best. I used to use him above everyone else.

Way to go, Toe-Knee. Way to go. :(

Moptimus Slime (Leader of Princess Griffins Royal Guard) @ Jul 31st 2009 5:55PM

looks like they got all the fan favorites there

....OKAY I ADMIT IT! Im nothing more than a poser

Random G (Wiizer Sweatshop Chief Bitchslapper) @ Jul 31st 2009 5:56PM

Great idea Longhorn!

I'll add it to the To Do list:

1. Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition.
2. Scribblenaut Rooster Hat.
3. Tony Hawk Ride skateboard.

oOWallaceOo @ Jul 31st 2009 6:14PM

This better not be the full finalized list or they have just lost a customer.

Luke @ Jul 31st 2009 6:20PM

Let me know when the game supports the balance board so I don't have to buy another plastic thing. And also let me know when it's $19.99. Thanks.

I still love when he showed this off at E3 and the crowd couldn't care less.

Deedubbadoo @ Jul 31st 2009 6:44PM

Better yet, let me know when it supports the regular 360/Dual Shock controller so I can play it the same way I have played every Tony Hawk game.

Mr. Joe @ Aug 1st 2009 1:01AM

even best yet, let me know when skate 3 comes out! ha ha!

BIacked Out @ Jul 31st 2009 6:46PM

I think they've gone a bit too far with the board. It cant work, therefore it wont work.

silentgeno @ Jul 31st 2009 7:01PM

What no Bam Margera?

Ianiscool @ Jul 31st 2009 7:26PM

Because he's not a good skater.

Deaddy @ Jul 31st 2009 7:05PM

Hosoi? I wonder if the game will let you ride a hammerhead board. Doubt it!

tomlinson731 @ Jul 31st 2009 7:29PM

I hope this game is good. Skate on the Wii with the balance board was absolutely horrid.

HeXeN @ Jul 31st 2009 7:30PM

Where's Bucky Lasek,Karem,Elissa Steamer and Bob Burnquist;I really must be getting old.

Mazrael @ Aug 2nd 2009 12:36PM

..finally, some names I know..

Brendan H @ Jul 31st 2009 10:39PM

They're really reaching with the term "celebrity."

indyshadow @ Jul 31st 2009 10:46PM

those things don't work on water

Mr. Joe @ Aug 1st 2009 1:03AM

unless you got POWER!

Jeffy @ Jul 31st 2009 11:58PM

Yeaaaaaaaaaa! Mike Mo! But where's all the guys that I know and love from the 1st game to about the 4th? Rune? Nope. Chad? Nope. Not even Tony Hawk! Who is Toe- Knee Hawk anyway?
I think that they should start getting some of the newer guys like on skate 1, 2, and skate it. I mean where the fuck is Rob? Seriously. Mike Caroll and Pat Duffy too. Maybe even Jeff King or Chris Haslam? There are some guys in there who have been in there for 3 or 4 games! Switch it up a little or I'll stop buying the games and get a 360 just for skate.
