Tony Hawk Ride’s Skateboard Is Getting Whitewashed

Racist much?

White, who the hell has a white skateboard. (im not talking about the underside)


this is lame, dont people know that electronics in black are way, way better, than those that are white. hence, why i have an elite.

Oh brother, now nintendo's getting caught up in the michael jackson craze?

genius idea. make it white, so we can dirt it like hell with our feet.

More consumer friendly? What a crock.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop but I haven't seen too many white skateboards in my time.

@Lite: is on a boat.: Hahaha. Awww... Maybe, but there was obviously no metaphor intended. For the record. ^_^

@Lite: is on a boat.: Do 75% of Hook-ups remind anyone else of that incredible work of Japanese genius, "Battle Royal?"

@drewkkake: If I were worried about that I'd rip the package open and immediately apply Hook-ups stickers to it.

@Lite: is on a boat.: It'll also show ugly immediately upon opening the packaging.

@Lite: is on a boat.: No, so that it will look more like a Wii peripheral. All of which have been extremely consumer... er developer friendly in terms of their wallets.

@mikeness: Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitars are no longer white as standard for the Wii...

Is this going to be available on Wii? Probably got too much pressure from Nintendo to not tarnish it's all white selection of controllers and such. Would be bad ass if you could grip-tape that mother.

@LegallyBored in NYC: Careful, that could be construed as a rather strong metaphor.

More consumer friendly?

You mean as in it will show dirt and wear faster causing people to want to replace it sooner?

So unfortunate. You would think that anything meant to be repeatedly stepped on wouldn't be white...

I swear to god... Everything thing I own is white. Now I know how blind people feel...

Ugh. No more white stuff, please.

@nala1908: but you can see that they are doing well!!!

I seriously don't understand why they've gone to white. If I had known M$ was gonna make a black 360 from the start, I would have waited the three years or so, and same with the Wii. Now I'm stuck with two ugly white consoles.
