Unlike surfboarding, where you need perfect weather and a seaside to make the most of, other extreme sports such as BMXing and skateboarding can be done anywhere. The world is your sandbox, and you're free to do what you like where you like. Well, in theory, anyway. Real Life is a bit different. Some places just don't have ideal terrain to ride over; others are restricted, and you'll get thrown out or arrested almost immediately if you so much as try. Even if you did try it, some places are so dangerous that one wipe-out is all that separates you from a messy end.

  • Unlike surfboarding, where you need perfect weather and a seaside to make the most of, other extreme sports such as BMXing and skateboarding can be done anywhere. The world is your sandbox, and you're free to do what you like where you like. Well, in theory, anyway. Real Life is a bit different.

Even if you did try it, some places are so dangerous that one wipe-out is all that separates you from a messy end. Not so in a video game, though. Everything is a skate park, and at worst, falling into a vat of acid is merely going to cost you your combo. Security won't throw you out (unless the story calls for it), and nobody's going to do anything more than yell at you, even that guard with a gun you just knocked over. Expect all the places to be littered with loads of quarter pipes to practice vert tricks off of, often lined up perfectly for a gap. And yet, despite all the possible places available to do your gnarly shreds, the pros always seem to hang out in the same sort of areas. Even when you go trekking around the world to bring your sport to the masses, you invariably end up in the same kind of locations. Funny note, despite his lack of a skateboard, Sonic the Hedgehog levels also have shades of this due to the eponymous character's method of movement, and more recent ability to grind (with his sneakers). Note: Sonic the Hedgehog's grinding abilities trace to a Product Placement in the second Adventure game for Soap sneakers, which are actually used to grind rails in the absence of boards.
