Skating is fun. It's exhilarating. And Electronic Arts was pretty successful in giving an honest depiction of the skating experience in its next-gen title SKATE (PS3, Xbox 360). So honest, in fact, that you'll be sure to break some of those virtual bones of you if you don't press on those buttons correctly.

Doubting it? Just check out this "Bails" video right here. Never mind if it's just a game character. It's still sure to elicit that "Ouch!" from you.

But if you don't want your character to end up in a wheelchair, then you go ahead and check out the second video, this time on the "Mad Skills gameplay." Watch and learn. If you pull this off, then you'll be hearing loads of cheers and not jeers. Oh, and it will save you the horror of hearing cracking bones, too.

Enjoy the vids!
