Thanks to team behind my Gadget Show games review page for getting me a preview copy of Tony Hawk’s: Ride with the much anticipated board peripheral. What you see in this review is my first five minutes of play. The hardware board has had mixed reviews online, which I have to say I understand; it’s not perfect, but as you’ll see from my brief experience with it, you can ollie and you can rail slide - first time! It’s no hardcore simulation, but as a fun, physical addition to the skating game genre, I think it’s successful. Enjoy!

My World Record Attempt
The man from The Guinness Book of World Records was standing by. The laser-timing gate was in place. The twin engines of my £2500, purpose-built, radio-controlled car were gargling nitro. I was ready for a world speed record attempt. As for whether I was successful, well, you’ll have to ‘find out after the break’ – as I’m bound to secrecy until the ‘RC Car’ challenge goes out on The Gadget Show. What I will say is that when a fifteen-inch car made of aluminium and carbon fibre goes beyond the fifty miles per hour mark, you stop breathing – as the slightest wrong movement can send it airborne. Watch this space.
