You know Eric, I often wonder how much effort you put into your articles. They're consistently terrible (honestly). How hard is it to Google Tony Hawk Ride? Hell, you don't even have to use Google, just search a few of the other tech blogs. You could easily find a picture of Tony Hawk riding the board. Does that answer your hmmm? Are you trying to write something informative at Crave or just using this forum to wonder aloud about all the things you don't properly research?

Thanks for the constructive criticism (honestly). I appreciate it. Seeing people riding the board does indeed answer my question. Thanks. To answer your last question. I little bit of both.

I agree, I read this story on Engadget late LAST week and have already seen video of Tony and other riders use the board in-game (with out their hands). I have noticed that CNET reporting has been a few days late compared to other tech blogs, anyone else notice that too?

I'll soon be updating the article with the info that you can ride it. Also, you may have read it last week, but not everyone that comes to Crave, visit other tech blogs. I appreciate your feedback though and will try to be quicker about these things. Thanks.

This video [ http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=59&ch=1&sd=0 ] shows Tony Hawk explaining how to use the board. Yes, you ride it.

Awesome. Thanks for linking the vid.

I'll echo the others' comments. If I can work 50+ hours each week in a job that doesn't involve cruising the web for news on video games and still manage to know more about the subject of the column than the author, someone needs to be fired.

If only my job had something to do with video games...

Haha oh, ouch. Atleast theres something different to read on CNET, Tony Hawk and this weird skateboard, that, from looking at the image has no wheels. And that you're able to ride it. Ok yeah, I didnt try to sound like I dont know anything from this article, really. It is something different.

Really, technology doesn't have anything to do with video games. Interesting. Less arguing about semantics and more research, turbo.
