Yes, Mike Vallely has an iPhone game now! Don’t know if you can pick fights in this game, but the controls are supposedly unreal. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 game for the iPhone wasn’t necessarily the full skateboarding game which people were hoping for. Mike V’s game is the real deal with dope 3D graphics and a new insane finger swiping control system for doing tricks.  Check out the videos below.

Blair Alley and the boys at Transworld went to the long awaited premiere last night and seemed pretty pleased with the feature. Some parts that stood out were Shane Cross, off course Burnquist, Lance Mountain, and David Gonzalez. Congrads to the crew at Flip for finalizing the long process!

What’s next, Tony Hawk baby strollers? This actually works because Tony Hawks fans really range from ages 8-14, and we know how our eating habits were at that age. McDonalds Dad, please ? It is always wild to see how main stream skateboarding has become over the last couple years. I had no idea it would be where it is now. Here is a small article I found on Skate Theory.com concerning the new skate vitamins.

Ronkonkoma, NY (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 — Whether he’s busy shredding the halfpipe, working on his latest video game, touring the country with his Boom Boom HuckJam or making one of his numerous television appearances, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is first and foremost an athlete. And athletes know the importance of good nutrition. However, most of Tony’s fans are boys ages 8 to 16 – not the most nutritionally conscious group around. So, Tony has joined forces with NBTY, Inc., a leading manufacturer of nutritional supplements and children’s vitamins, and created the Tony Hawk HuckJam brand of vitamins. These chewy “gummy” vitamins, shaped like miniature skateboard decks, skateboard wheels and Tony’s signature hawk skull, provide a good source of 11 vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, which bolsters the immune system*, and Vitamin B-12, a major factor in energy metabolism*.    -Skate Theory
