Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk, Tommy Guerrero, Mike McGill, and Steve Caballero reunite after 30 years to skate the famous Animal Chin ramp.
]]>With Powell Peralta's film “The Search For Animal Chin,” it was the Chin ramp that stole the show. The ramp was unfathomable in size and featured large extensions, larger channels, a mini ramp on its deck, a vert spine, and a tunnel. After Tim Payne built it, the Bones Brigade had just three days to skate it before it was gone forever. Now, 30 years later, we hear from Payne and the Brigade about their personal experiences with the ramp and the amazing times they had together skating and shooting for this iconic film.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is a skateboarding video game in the Tony Hawk's series. Named after professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, it was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision under the Activision O2 label in 2001.
It was the first game released for the PlayStation 2 supporting online play as well as the last game ever to be released on the Nintendo 64 (which was discontinued 4 months prior to release). According to Metacritic, Pro Skater 3 and Grand Theft Auto III hold an average critic score of 97/100, making them the highest-rated PlayStation 2 games of all time.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a skateboarding video game developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. It is the second instalment in the Tony Hawk's series of sports games and was first released for the PlayStation in 2000.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 uses the same game engine as its predecessor while improving the graphics and the gameplay, most notably with the introduction of manuals and cash rewards.
The game takes place in a three-dimensional urban environment permeated by van ambience of rock and hip-hop music. The player takes control of a variety of famous skateboarders and either perform skateboarding tricks or collects certain objects.
The game offers several modes of gameplay, including a career mode in which the player must complete objectives and evolve their character's attributes with earned profits, a free-play mode in which the player may skate without any given objective, a multiplayer mode that features a number of competitive games, and a level editor that allows the player to create customized levels.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was critically acclaimed upon release and remains one of the highest-rated video games of all time, as well as the highest-rated sports video game.
All versions of the game were praised, including its addictive gameplay, large environments, detailed graphics, fluid and precise controls, customization features and punk/hip-hop soundtrack, with some minor criticisms directed at the lack of a first-person camera and the truncated soundtrack of the Nintendo 64 version.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a skateboarding video game developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. It was released for the PlayStation on September 29, 1999.
The goal of the game is to perform tricks and combinations thereof in an effort to increase the player's score. Movement can be altered using the d-pad, and ollies, grabs, flips and slides are each assigned to individual buttons.
Each skateboarder has eight grabs, eight slides and eight flips. The number of points earned from a successful trick sequence is dependent on the amount of time spent in the air, the degree of rotation, and the number and variety of tricks performed; the more a single trick is performed in a sequence, the fewer points it will earn.
When the player succeeds in performing tricks, a special gauge increases. When this gauge is full and flashing, the player is capable of performing a special trick that is worth many more points than ordinary tricks.
If the player bails (falls off their skateboard), any points that may have been earned from the current combo are lost, and the special gauge is emptied.
