Great Video dude!!! Tony Hawk 1 was originally meant to be nothing buy downhill racing tracks, but when they found how fun it was to just ride around instead, they made all the levels like that. Tony Hawk's favorite ever level was the downhill track, hence why Activision made downhill jam on the wii, which apparantly didn't do very well.
i trust rockstar, they would make an awesome skateboarding game! they did it before! but... look at GTA Online. it's basically a pay-to-win game by now. Rockstar would probably squeeze every cent out of the players in a skateboarding game too.
I just finished Thrasher: Skate and Destroy again and is still to this day one of my favorite games from PS1. I love both TSaD and THPS2 and I appreciate them for being two truly different and fun experiences.
I re-finished Thrasher again too it sucks how fast it's done n not enough levels n really nothing to gain except playing with Gameshark.. a true gem the illest n what made me realize rap idn't crap
Around the time THPS 1 and 2 came out there was a THPS forum on a site called Delphi and some of the better players on there were doing incredible lines in THPS 1. Really pushing what you thought was possible in those early games. The developers had a meet up with fans at a skate park in my town and I met a guy named Aaron who worked for Neversoft, he gave me a bunch of spiderman stickers and a spiderman poster and was a really friendly guy. Once other kids there found out who he was I remember everyone swarmed him and were asking a bunch of questions, it was great. One kid really wanted to know if you could skate outside of the Burnside level in THPS1, it was a huge rumor back then. :)
A buddy and I used to play thps3 with zeroed out stats to make realistic lines. Then one day we came across a used copy of thrasher. After rubbing various household creams and pastes into the scarred surface of the disk the game finally booted and the rest is history. Such a wonderful game, I'll never stop singing it's praises
The goat, shame they din't keep on and went to BMX formular I briefly touched w/e Skate 1 er 2 but I din't care TRASHER Skate & Destroy shits on Skate trilogy and TH of course TH justa comedy franchise
@@mistamontiel00 I played thps back when I was little and picked up thps 1+2 and like it. Ppl say it feels like real skating, but I disagree. Its an arcade style game and just unrealistic. Imo, the real skateboard game of today is skater xl. There's challenges but only to !ale you better at the game. Other than that, it's all about finding spots and doing a line and making a video. It gets to where I take like an hour to make my line perfect which is what real skating is. I never played thrasher though.
@@-dfh-866 It's a real treat and then the Dave Mirra BMXs after too, there is ragdoll, and if you run timer out you get first person view of cop/mugger/dog chasing you
Remember when skateboard was such a mainstream back then in 90s and early 2000s with rockin' soundtrack with punk,rock,and hip-hop pumped up your gameplay!
THPS was a game-changer but it's really wild to see other games from around that same time trying to cash-in on the craze in their own way... it's like seeing an alternate-universe THPS. I don't recall any other skate games from back in the day beyond EVOLUTION SKATEBOARDING, which I got addicted to for a while. Nice video.
THANK YOU. Just had to say that beacause I got the same vision like you. THPS2 and Thrasher were both the best skate games for PS1. I still play Thrasher every week because of the spirit. Anyway, you deserve more views and you still doing an amazing work. THANK YOU again.
I take offense to the PSX version of THPS4. That game was awesome, having a ps1 game that had most of the iconic features of the ps2 Tony hawk games in a PSX games was very fun since you couldn't really play THPS2 with the same insane combo mechanics that most ps2 games had. THPS4 feels like playing THPS2, but with revert, spine transfers, balance meters, linking grinds, pivots, triple flips etc.
@@MosoKaiser Sure in comparison to the original THPS4 on ps2 it's considered a "demake", but in comparison to THPS2 i consider it an upgrade since it adds so much more to the game.
But in the PS1 I don't think it was better than THPS 2. I played it a lot but only because I couldn't buy a PS2 back then. It had more content but looks worse the "real thing", their vision was on PS2.
Ayy, I just wanted to say man, I absolutely LOVE your channel. I've been interested in skateboarding pretty much since the original THPS came out when I was a kid, but can't actually skate due to the fact that I use a wheelchair. I kinda lost interest in it when I was a teenager, but fell down a skating rabbit hole on youtube after watching some Richie Jackson and The Gonz vids. Your channel popped up, and I've just been going through your back catalog for like...a month now. I really love and appreciate this channel and all the skate history and stuff. Super cool. Why don't you have a Patreon? I feel like if you had one, you might be able to do this as a full-time job eventually. I know that I'd love to throw some money your way.
I remember playing a demo disc that had thrasher on it at a buddies house, we both played it for days! The whole vibe is what really makes it special. First off it starts you out in free play, then you can actually start the contest without backing out into the menu's, so it felt really natural once you warmed up you could play to get the point requirements. The clothes are baggy, the music is dope grungy rap, fuck the police vibe, it really made you feel like your skating the streets. The level design felt like a real city or actual real spots to skate. The flow of the game is what i really like, it's much slower, you spin slow and tricks actually spin pretty close to real life, so it made doing complex tricks more satisfying. I liked tony hawk games played the shit out of them all once I was younger, but now 20 years later I'm still playing Thrasher. As you get older you just want to play for a bit, so i really like that, you can play the whole game in roughly a half hour if your decent. If you guys want another great game, I recommend Dave Miras freestyle BMX which also does the 90's vibe justice.
3Xtreme, Snake n Destroy and THPS1 were my childhood. I remember getting this 3 in 1 disc with Skate n Destroy, THPS1 and some snowboarding game i don't remember the name of, that was my introduction to skateboarding games and i fell in love
Thrashers! I'm sure it's the one I remember. The demo had a cop chasing you after the time limit. You would see the cop's point of view, but control the skater.
Oh man! Thrasher! That was the game I was looking for all these years! Thanks man! I knew there was a skateboarding game that had a cop chasing after you with a taser.
I feel almost the same with the order of worst to best, but wow some of those games i'd never heard of before now lol. THPS2 is without a doubt one of the best PS1 titles to have been ever released. Any chance you could do a video on PS2 skateboarding games?
My friends always stuck to THPS games (THPS2 was my all time favourite) but I found a gem in grind session. The soundtrack to this game was awesome too, I believe it was Jurassic 5 who did a couple of tracks. Great game.
Rocket Power: Agreed, everything played terribly but snowboarding was far and above the worst. Street Sk8er: Yeah, not that much to it and not that much to keep you playing. Street Sk8er 2: Levels were surprisingly big with multiple paths. Kept discovering new things and then only had like 30 seconds to run through them to the next checkpoint. Was cooler to mess around in free-play than do the races. MTV Skateboarding: The delayed ollie literally makes this game unplayable to me. I could not get over it. 1Xtreme, 2Xtreme, 3Xtreme - haven't played them. Apparently having a copy of ESPN Extreme Games pre-rebrand can net me some cash? Grind Session: Interesting selection of pros and a cool way of laying out levels with the tech lines and adding time back in. Too bad it is sort of awkwardly bare-bones caught in between Thrasher and Tony Hawk. Thrasher: I am literally playing that right now. The controls do still trip me up but I am really enjoying getting better at the game. High scores really do mean getting smooth, solid runs instead of doing long, tense combos. Tony Hawk 1: Classic.Tony Hawk 2: The classic-est. I know how you feel with knowing it so well - me, personally, I DID draw Garibaldi from SSX Tricky as a kid because of how well I knew that. Tony Hawk 3 (PS1): Haven't actually played this one. Tony Hawk 4 (PS1): Tinkered around some to see what it was like. It really is weird to compare it to its next-gen version. Still a solid game and still very playable. Good luck with the whole PS2/Gamecube/Xbox collection. There's some real weird games you haven't gotten to yet...
In defense of the Street Sk8er games, when they came out, I remember seeing Top Skater in arcades and that was the closest I could get to playing it at home. They're weird games, but I don't think they're bad once you wrap your head around it. I'd rather play those than the Xtreme games.
Hey Rad Rat, just saw Caddicarus episode of Net Yaroze games for PS1 and there's a skateboard game there called "Super Ramp Skater Deluxe Turbo Alpha Plus". Would be fun to see you try it even if it barely can be called a game. Love your channel!
The downhill jams in THPS1 were great as a kid. I would pause and restart automatically after a fall and eventually I would get everything on a first try
you should make a thug 2 server dude, should the opertunity arise, group plays would be awesome, it's worth a thought, I'm so happy I avoided many of the games in the video 😂
Have your played Yanya Caballista on the PS2 yet? Haven't played it in years but if you can find it with the little skateboard attachment in tact (you'll see what I mean) I'd love to see a review. I've never met another human being who's owned or played it but I remember enjoying it back in the day.
Realize it's all a matter of opinion, but STRONGLY disagree that THPS2 had the best level design. THPS4, overall, had the best level design of the series. Agree 100% that Grind Session was underrated and wished it had gotten a sequel as well. Thanks for putting out the quality videos!
2Xtreme is rad. Skateboarding games, and skateboarding in general has come a long way since then, but I love how raw and pure it is. Just riding fast and going off launch ramps.
Street Sk8er gave me so many hours she hours of playing it to death man I loved it. I couldn’t afford tony hawks till ages after it came out and bought it 2nd hand. I bought street sk8er for either £5 or £10 and got tons of money’s worth out of it. Plus the disc was a cd you could play it’s music. Soundtrack was incredible
THPS1 is still my favourite skateboarding PS1 game, probably because it was the one I played the most. I still remember getting it Christmas Morning in 1999. Its soundtrack also inspired my taste in music as I got older. I love that game, and I still have my original copy, but it is showing its age.
I'm thinking about porting thrasher to the Sega Saturn roughly. Anyone know if the 3D models are ripped? Might do street skater since it's easier and more arcade/Sega like
THANK YOU Iv been trying to remember thrasher for a very long time, I wanted to listen to the theme song that I still remember from where I was super young. I remember playing it on a demo disk and I thought up in till now it was a Tony Hawk game. But you reminded me that you get chased at the end and set a lot of bells off for me. THANKS
excellent list! personally I would switch THPS 2 and thrasher skate and destroy. though THPS2 was a better built game, thrasher was a more important to skateboarding as a whole. thrasher was the only true depiction of what skateboarding actually was and went beyond what tony hawks pro skater presented. tony hawks pro skater showed skateboarding from the perspective of a professional. big name sponsors and pulling off tricks with ease was the theme. thrasher showed the perspective of the average skater. small homegrown brands, every trick felt difficult and getting kicked out of spots was the theme. my personal top 3 would be thrasher, thps2 and grind session in that order.
man there is such a hole in the industry for a skating game, Rockstar needs to make a new skate and destroy. as well done as their maps are on the gta series they could knock the level design out of the park and nowadays they would have the ability to really smooth out the gameplay
Ok, was the team behind 2Xtreme, the same group that did "Skitchin" (1994)? because the look and feel is so similar- except, of course, that Skitchin was amazing!
I can agree on every single word you said about THPS2. I guess it's my all time favorite video game and School 2 is my favorite level as well. Would have been Philadelphia but the physics vs level object/layout dimensions doesn't make completely satisfying and proper lines on the Love fountain ledges.
I suddenly recalled a very old fever dream like memory of me and my sister player a weird skate game where you have to finish a track while everything looking dark and dangerous. So I came here and now you reminded me of the name of the game. MTV Skateboarding
This channel is something else, man. Your content is outstanding.
Raif Nabor you could even say it's... *_radical!!!_*
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah. He got me skating again. Love his stuff

Hello again you!
Hello you! Love your videos man.
If EA won't make another Skate game, then Thrasher Magazine and Rockstar Games need to make a new Skate And Destroy!!!!
Thrasher's become a little too corporate but that would be mad.
And rockstar wouldn’t even continue GTA Series
i trust rockstar, they would make an awesome skateboarding game! they did it before!
but... look at GTA Online. it's basically a pay-to-win game by now.
Rockstar would probably squeeze every cent out of the players in a skateboarding game too.
2 years later...
Skater XL
So much work went into this. Bravo.
I just finished Thrasher: Skate and Destroy again and is still to this day one of my favorite games from PS1. I love both TSaD and THPS2 and I appreciate them for being two truly different and fun experiences.
I re-finished Thrasher again too it sucks how fast it's done n not enough levels n really nothing to gain except playing with Gameshark.. a true gem the illest n what made me realize rap idn't crap
"Rocket Power has more glitches than any other game I've seen in my life!"
*THPS 5 never existed then*
PAKTRA_PRODUCTIONS WATCH_DOGS he either hasn't played thps5 or he meant he has seen the most glitches on the ps1
he is still correct. any other game he has *SEEN*
none of your business yes, because before, you couldn't even play it *_to see the glitches!_* 😂😂😂
I loved playing those games, in fact, we still play it
m.th-cam.com/video/9eOQR8M_n_Y/w-d-xo.html
none of your business But it still sucks ass
It's crazy the resoundingly profound impact THPS had on the industry when it came out. Nobody else dared innovate until Skate.
What do you mean ? Thrasher was innovative just not popular
Around the time THPS 1 and 2 came out there was a THPS forum on a site called Delphi and some of the better players on there were doing incredible lines in THPS 1. Really pushing what you thought was possible in those early games.

You can put the street skater game in the CD player and plays the sound track. That shit changed my life.

Great video! Only complaint is that I'd rename the video "Every Single PS1 Skateboarding Game Ranked!". Reviewed implies something else.
Remember when skateboard was such a mainstream back then in 90s and early 2000s with rockin' soundtrack with punk,rock,and hip-hop pumped up your gameplay!

Good to see you again Rad Rat. I know that life is busy but always a pleasure to see a new you pop up again. Hope all is well.

Ahh Thrasher Skate and Destroy has a lot of nostalgia for me. I loved this game and still do. Good list!
Oh boy, cant wait for your metal gear solid 2 substance video.
That ended up just being a demo for Evolution Skateboarding, which he's covered.
Agree with 1st place. Soundtrack, levels, skaters, special tricks, game interface. Masterpiece.

Its still great, thats for sure, all the tony hawk playstation 1 games are awesome
It feels like THPS2 because it essentially _is._ Basically a THPS4 re/demake done in the THPS2 engine.

I’m glad grind session is higher then thps1 cus I always felt that way
On THPS1, I always try to manual. Still my first and favorite.
3Xtreme, Snake n Destroy and THPS1 were my childhood. I remember getting this 3 in 1 disc with Skate n Destroy, THPS1 and some snowboarding game i don't remember the name of, that was my introduction to skateboarding games and i fell in love

Thrasher skate and destroy is life
The first Street Sk8er was really fun and had a sweet soundtrack
Oh man! Thrasher! That was the game I was looking for all these years! Thanks man! I knew there was a skateboarding game that had a cop chasing after you with a taser.
Oh my childhood. Thank you for uploading this. I’ve been trying to remember for years which one that i used to play.
I've watched your videos a few times now. Enjoy the nostalgia
love your dedication, radrat! i remember playing 3xtreme and grind session on old ps1 demo discs as a kid.... :)
Very strong list!
I've got THPS 2 & 3 in my forever collection, may be looking to add Grind Session soon.
GOD, you awakened the contempt I had for ROCKET POWER... my friend had that game back in the day... it was horrendous!
I wish these were longer :) great job!
I feel almost the same with the order of worst to best, but wow some of those games i'd never heard of before now lol.
THPS2 is without a doubt one of the best PS1 titles to have been ever released.
Any chance you could do a video on PS2 skateboarding games?
I bet you can’t wait to play the remaster of THPS2 in September! Please do a review on that when it comes out.
Awesome video man. I would slightly change the list because thrasher is my no1. But THPS2 is so very close.
I respect the courage to put Thrasher all the way up where you put it so much. That game was waaaay ahead of its time
I love your channel man. Keep up the good work. You're a badass!
I really like those intros with the ps. Nicely done!
Jeeze just the thumbnail pics of the tops of the cds brings the nostalgia knife to the gut
Love this. Respectfully, I disagree on THP3's placement but mad respect for the "arguments"/points you made.
I love this video! Great to see every single one in one video. Thank you so much. ❤️
Badass review man! But is psybadek a skate game too?
My friends always stuck to THPS games (THPS2 was my all time favourite) but I found a gem in grind session. The soundtrack to this game was awesome too, I believe it was Jurassic 5 who did a couple of tracks. Great game.
I really liked as you went on with the list, the play station opening to reveal the game was really cool!!!
11:43 is that the same actor that voiced Canderous Ordo in the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games?
thrasher skate and destroy best skateboard game on ps1 hands down
Michael Perez underrated just because of the thps release. Great soundtrack and trick selection. Good times
imagine GTA Online gets a Thrasher Update, I mean we got a Smuggler's Run Update so why not?
if they did that i will bet supreme will be in it again
I mean, we have skateparks and bmx, we even can do tricks like 180, 360 and backflips so yeah
Loved it
Rocket Power: Agreed, everything played terribly but snowboarding was far and above the worst.
Street Sk8er: Yeah, not that much to it and not that much to keep you playing.
Street Sk8er 2: Levels were surprisingly big with multiple paths. Kept discovering new things and then only had like 30 seconds to run through them to the next checkpoint. Was cooler to mess around in free-play than do the races.
MTV Skateboarding: The delayed ollie literally makes this game unplayable to me. I could not get over it.

Good luck with the whole PS2/Gamecube/Xbox collection. There's some real weird games you haven't gotten to yet...
Insetik47 You should definitely try out the PS1 version of THPS3. That was the version I got back in the day and played it to death
This is awesome, thps 2 is surely my all time favorite as well. Also, I like how you didn't show all of the levels on any game!
You deserve so many more subscribers.
A year later and I agree.
How did you not talk about the amazing subway level in Skate and Destroy. Had so much fun hurling my body into a moving train.
Today my PS1 died. My cat somehow dropped it off the shelf. 😢
Xcalibur Gaming73 I'll take that sucker off your hands.
the cat I mean
Never...my pussy belongs to me! Wait, what did I just say? 🤣
Thank god, there are many second hand ones at the local pawn.
Xcalibur Gaming73 oh no you can keep it I just want to play with it for a while. 😗
Xcalibur Gaming73 I had no idea they sold cats at a pawn shop
In defense of the Street Sk8er games, when they came out, I remember seeing Top Skater in arcades and that was the closest I could get to playing it at home. They're weird games, but I don't think they're bad once you wrap your head around it. I'd rather play those than the Xtreme games.
Hey Rad Rat, just saw Caddicarus episode of Net Yaroze games for PS1 and there's a skateboard game there called "Super Ramp Skater Deluxe Turbo Alpha Plus". Would be fun to see you try it even if it barely can be called a game. Love your channel!
love your reviews! used to play the first 3 games a lot. Are you gonna do a vid on all portable games? or maybe all 2d games?
The clip you showed of ESPN extreme games reminded me of an old saga megadrive game i loved as a kid called skitching.
The downhill jams in THPS1 were great as a kid. I would pause and restart automatically after a fall and eventually I would get everything on a first try
thrasher was the OG game and the soundtrack made me like cetain types of music mostly a tribe called quest
THPS2 was my first games ever played. Really loved Koston and Mullen. Thank you for your opinion that it is number 1 skate games all time of PS1.
I'm lucky enough to have seen Koston skate at the only big park where I live the dude was a machine
you should make a thug 2 server dude, should the opertunity arise, group plays would be awesome, it's worth a thought, I'm so happy I avoided many of the games in the video 😂
Finnaly new video!!!!
The piece on the wall behind you is really cool.
Something about the gameplay in Thrasher is so satisfying, as are the flip animations. Loved that game
Have your played Yanya Caballista on the PS2 yet? Haven't played it in years but if you can find it with the little skateboard attachment in tact (you'll see what I mean) I'd love to see a review. I've never met another human being who's owned or played it but I remember enjoying it back in the day.
Please if you think it's a good idea also make these top review video's for SS, DC, GC, XBOX, PS2/3. Awesome video, this one!
Yay you’re back!
Please do something on the delta flip
MTV skateboarding was my FAVORITE but I forgot the name of it. Thank you!!
Thank you I really enjoyed your video and your opinion. Subscribed
Realize it's all a matter of opinion, but STRONGLY disagree that THPS2 had the best level design. THPS4, overall, had the best level design of the series. Agree 100% that Grind Session was underrated and wished it had gotten a sequel as well. Thanks for putting out the quality videos!
Which version of 4? PS1 or 'next-gen'? And how come, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious.
2Xtreme is rad. Skateboarding games, and skateboarding in general has come a long way since then, but I love how raw and pure it is. Just riding fast and going off launch ramps.
I like how in the skate series you need to press the grind button yet you have to do an ollie and land on the rails or edges to grind
Super cool! Thank you from France
Amazing video!

amazing vid. you are the man.
You are my fav youtuber
THANK YOU
Iv been trying to remember thrasher for a very long time, I wanted to listen to the theme song that I still remember from where I was super young.
I remember playing it on a demo disk and I thought up in till now it was a Tony Hawk game. But you reminded me that you get chased at the end and set a lot of bells off for me. THANKS
excellent list! personally I would switch THPS 2 and thrasher skate and destroy. though THPS2 was a better built game, thrasher was a more important to skateboarding as a whole. thrasher was the only true depiction of what skateboarding actually was and went beyond what tony hawks pro skater presented. tony hawks pro skater showed skateboarding from the perspective of a professional. big name sponsors and pulling off tricks with ease was the theme. thrasher showed the perspective of the average skater. small homegrown brands, every trick felt difficult and getting kicked out of spots was the theme.
my personal top 3 would be thrasher, thps2 and grind session in that order.
I love your logo! It’s very 90s !
man there is such a hole in the industry for a skating game, Rockstar needs to make a new skate and destroy. as well done as their maps are on the gta series they could knock the level design out of the park and nowadays they would have the ability to really smooth out the gameplay
Ok, was the team behind 2Xtreme, the same group that did "Skitchin" (1994)? because the look and feel is so similar- except, of course, that Skitchin was amazing!
This guy looks like he could be a relative of The Act Man haha. Anyways, great video!
Any videos of you skating irl?
I feel like THPS4 for PS1 is neat to play if only to see how they interpreted the PS2/Cbox/Gamecube version for a previous gen system
That boneless to impossible is my next trick goal
I can agree on every single word you said about THPS2. I guess it's my all time favorite video game and School 2 is my favorite level as well. Would have been Philadelphia but the physics vs level object/layout dimensions doesn't make completely satisfying and proper lines on the Love fountain ledges.
Grindsession introduced me to alot of great bands and rappers when I was a kid.
I suddenly recalled a very old fever dream like memory of me and my sister player a weird skate game where you have to finish a track while everything looking dark and dangerous. So I came here and now you reminded me of the name of the game. MTV Skateboarding
Playing THPS1 and Street Sk8ter are 2 games i still play. They have some of my fav songs to listen to...Superman by Goldfinger for example.
Thank you. I forgot Grind Session existed until this video
I tell it in Rocket Power video and I'll tell it again - stucking in air is NOT a glitch but a feature which is very usefull for getting points
