The Skateboarding tag refers to a genre of video games that focus on the sport of skateboarding. These games aim to simulate the experience of skateboarding by allowing players to control a character who performs tricks and maneuvers on a skateboard.

In skateboarding games, players typically navigate through various environments, such as urban streets, skate parks, or custom-built levels, in order to complete objectives or challenges. The main gameplay revolves around performing different tricks and stunts using a combination of button inputs and analog stick movements.

Skateboarding games often emphasize realism in terms of physics and mechanics. They strive to capture the intricacies and nuances of real-world skateboarding movements, making it important for players to master timing, balance, and coordination. Additionally, these games frequently feature licensed soundtracks with music genres closely associated with skating culture.

Some popular examples of skateboard games include:

• Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series Developed by Neversoft/Robomodo; this long-running franchise is widely regarded as one of the most influential in the genre. It offers a mix of open-world exploration and timed objective-based gameplay coupled with an expansive trick system.
• Skate series Developed by EA Black Box/Criterion Games; this series focuses on more realistic controls with an emphasis on using analog sticks for executing tricks accurately. It prioritizes capturing the feeling of authenticity in both physics-based gameplay mechanics and realistic urban environments.
• OlliOlli Developed by Roll7; this indie game adds its unique spin on side-scrolling skateboarding action with fast-paced 2D gameplay featuring precise timing for jumps/grinds while chaining combos together.

Note that various other video game titles may include skateboarding elements, but the Skateboarding tag specifically refers to games centered around the sport itself. Skateboarding games provide players with a virtual avenue for expressing themselves creatively through skateboarding, whether they are performing tricks in a virtual representation of their favorite skate spots or competing against friends in multiplayer modes.
