Nike SB App Launches for iOS Devices with Interactive Trick Guides, Live Game Events

[MacRumors]

Nike has released a new Nike SB app for iOS devices, which includes various features that attempt to integrate skaters from different locations. The app includes the ability to learn and share tricks with a "Trick Tree" section that contains videos and directions, daily challenges issued by the Nike SB team that allows users to gain exposure by filming and uploading videos of themselves, and badges for accomplishing tasks throughout the app.

The app also includes the ability to play a game of S.K.A.T.E. which involves two users connecting with each other in a round of sudden death trick performances. To prove that they have done the trick, each user records 15 seconds of video performing a trick for their opponent to match, as each failure by a user accmulates a letter. The first user to accumulate the word "SKATE" loses, and a user may not pause an active recording once it has started. A full record of wins and losses within the game are also attached to user profiles and can be viewed throughout the app.

Learn tricks, play games of S.K.A.T.E., take part in challenges with skaters around the planet, and chart your personal skate progress with the Nike SB App.

I'm sure not many people on MacRumors skateboard but I'm pretty stoked on this.

Awesome

As a skater, even though it's a uniquely individual sport, you really progress when you get challenged. To be able to play SKATE with anybody anywhere anytime is amazing. The trick tips thing is cool, a little too "sport" for my tastes but I love the idea of the app in general. Downloaded.

This ranks as one of the coolest, most original iOS game I've ever heard of.

Now if only I skated I might actually enjoy it...
