The Ramp is a stripped-down skateboard game that captures the flow and serenity of skating. It makes us want to see more minimalist sports games.
I’m not a fan of pain, so I don’t skate. Sometimes I wish I did—or that I forced myself to when I was prime skating age, which almost overlapped with its major boom period in the ‘80s, when it first penetrated the cultural consciousness. I had a skateboard, because every kid had a skateboard, but it was a hand-me-down from the ‘70s, a small, plastic oval on four cracking wheels that barely still rolled. No, I didn’t skate: I was a scooter kid.
People I know who do skate talk about it in a way that doesn’t really match how skating is presented by the media. Despite its speed, despite its danger, despite its integral connection to punk, hardcore, and other aggressive forms of underground music, skaters often talk about skating in the Zen-like way surfers do surfing. It’s calming. It’s soothing.
