Skate 2 Trailer: A Hall of Meat?

Curious as to what a "hall of meat" entails? Yeah, me too. For the answer, check out the latest trailer for EA Black Box's Skate 2, which arrives on PS3 and Xbox 360 next year.

    Nice addition letting you control your ragdoll somewhat, but I'm still a bit bummed to see no lack of self preservation from these skaters. They should chuck a button in there that lets you try to recover or not get injured so bad from bail. Like putting your arms out so your head doesn't crack the pavement. Or just, you know, hopping off and stepping away from a minor head-on curb hit because you didn't ollie in time instead of using it as a springboard to pain like some stupid shmuck.

    Guess that wouldn't be as fun for the kids :(

      I believe this is in there actually. I saw a vid where he landed out of a bail.

        That's good. I've seen the videos but don't remember any of that. There are some step-off moves, maybe somehow that makes it possible?

      You could always skitch out of some bad landings in the first one. It was never as springboardy as Tony Hawk.

        That's not what I meant with my example. You know how when you hit a low curb on a street and you basically get reverse clotheslined? The board stops and you keep going and hit the ground, even if you were going slow.
