Skateboarding dog plays Tony Hawk Ride

November 18 3:18 P.M.

Sure, you've seen skateboarding dog videos, but we're betting you've never seen one quite like this before.



Why not? Well, for one thing, there's never been a skateboarding game quite like Tony Hawk Ride before. That skateboard controller in the video contains infra-red sensors that detect movement and turn it into on-screen hops, spins, and flips...even when performed by a four-legged friend.

The game's in stores this week, and while it's a little too early to get a sense of the critics' reactions to it, the dog certainly seems to like it.

(And yes, we know it's probably fake, but we liked it enough to share regardless.)
