Here’s the online version of my feature for 1UP on Tony Hawk Ride and Shred, titled The Fall of Tony Hawk. I recently blogged about the experience of writing up this investigative feature for 1UP Presents #3, and this web version includes an altered ending to better reflect new details since the original printing — namely Robomodo’s follow-up projects and the teased announcement of a new Tony Hawk game this weekend.
Got a lot of thumbs-up on Twitter and in the comments for this piece, which I greatly appreciate. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever put together, so I’m glad it’s resonating with people. And I’ve heard positive things back from both a person who did speak for the piece and another who declined comment, which reassures me that I did the story justice. Certainly curious to see what this purported new Hawk game looks like!
