What is the game of SKATE?

SKATE was first played in the 1970’s by vertical skateboarding legends Lance Mountain, Neil Blender and John Lucero, and was then adopted by street skaters in the 1980s. It’s like playing H-O-R-S-E.

The Game of SKATE is based on the basketball Game of HORSE. Here’s how to play:

The first skater tries a trick, makes it, and everyone else has to make it. Whoever doesn’t make it gets a letter. The first letter is “S”, the second letter is “K”, and so on, until “S-K-A-T-E” is spelled out, and that person is out of the game. When it’s the first skater’s turn again, he tries another trick. If he makes it, the whole process repeats.

If the first person misses the trick he tries, the second player tries his own trick. If he makes it, everyone else has to make that trick, in order. If anyone misses, they get a letter, and so on.
