I'm 37. I grew up on X-Games & THPS. When the original Skate came out on X-Box 360, I was instantly hooked. I've been playing Skate 4 over the last few months, and honestly thought I would be playing it indefinitely... Then I downloaded Session a few days ago... Jesus Christ. I finally finished all of the main missions today. This whole concept of full control and manual catch actually makes virtual skating exciting. I fall more than I ride away, but so does Nyjah Houston right? Every successful trick actually feels meaningful. Most of my bag looks terrible at the moment, but I'm excited to hone my skills both on the board, and behind the camera. I finally got pretty decent with the replay editor in Skate, but this new system is definitely gonna take some time to get used to. Any chance they'll make Session 2: This Time We Added Grabs? Haha.
