MTV Sports: Skateboarding Featuring Andy Macdonald is an extreme sports game developed by Darkblack and published by THQ in 1999 for the PlayStation. Releasing right at the dawn of the 3D skateboarding boom, the game lets players shred through various levels with pro skater Andy Macdonald, performing tricks, catching air, and competing in stunt-focused events across large, open environments.
How to play
Your goal is to rack up high scores and complete level objectives by stringing together skate tricks. Use the D-pad to steer your skater, and combine directional inputs with the action buttons to perform flip tricks, grabs, and grinds when approaching rails or ramps. Time your landings carefully to keep your momentum going and avoid bailing.
Tips
- Use the terrain: Look out for halfpipes and large rampsโgetting massive air gives you the necessary time to pull off complex grab and flip combos for maximum points.
- Mind your balance: When grinding rails or edges, carefully adjust your balance to hold the trick longer without falling off, which drastically boosts your combo score.
