When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater came out, Jordan and I would play that all day long. We skateboarded every free minute we and some of the old school skate videos like Misled Youth, for example. We would go outside of my house and wax our curb and borrow my dad’s Sony camcorder for home footage. We started skateboarding, I don’t know, when we were probably 10-years-old or so.

Probably not as big as some of the other mechas in the world that we kind of ended up taking a lot of inspiration from for the game.
