Don't you just wanna try it..

There’s something about the simplicity of a skateboard that keeps designers coming back to revisit it… but the SoulArc board certainly seems a worthy reinvention. It’s designed to make skateboarding feel more like surfing, with a huge leaf-spring mounted between the deck and the wheels..

Apparently there are zombie grandmas in skate..

They would always land their tricks… but as we all know skaters can’t fly, or can they?
Apparently there’s a glitch on ea’s skate where you end up on top of an invisible wall, therefore creating the illusion of flying. The wall eventually ends on either side so you can’t fly over everything, but think of the edges as 500-stair sets and I’m sure you’ll know what to do.
 
The glich is easy to do, the area is easy to get to, but… It takes a while.
 
For all of you “skaters” who wanna release your inner eagle and have more than 10 minutes to play, the video is after the break..

As many of you may or may not know the Spot Database used to require login, as it was integrated with the sk8fever forums.  Well, in my decision to disable the forums I have been contemplating on how to deal with the Spot Database, and how to implement user submissions.  In the end I decided that anyone  should be able to submit or edit a spot, no registration of any kind needed.
 
You may think “well then how can I track my submissions?”, but as I also had that in mind there is now a field at the bottom of each submission/editing page where you enter your name.
 
Not only does this field serve as displaying you as the author, but it saves the name in a database.  Therefore, everytime the name is used, it’s submissions are recorded in the database alongside the name.  This is of course now active, so submit those spots!
