Trickstyle!  This ended up taking me MUCH longer than I anticipated, but as you'll see, it has some bonuses in it that help make it worth it.  I also ran into editing errors AGAIN using completely different codecs this time.  I really need to figure out what the hell is going on and whether to blame Bandicam, Handbrake, Premiere, or everyone.

This is the 3rd "countdown" video out of 9 or 10, after which I'm going to go all-in on the movie for a while.

I can recomend sonic riders. It actually has requred tricks (sort of), actual AIR mechanics where air is your FUEL and Sonic Riders 1 has AWESOME 2d intro made by some professional anime studio. Really nice game, I think you'll find it interesting.

Also, I managed to beat all hoverboard races in 2002 PS2 Ratchet and Clank

First one was quite annoying

breddy gool and radical episode

I'm pretty surprised at how similar the racing gameplay is to some anti-grav racers. Maybe this similarity is why hoverboard racing games never took off. 

 
made an account here just to say how much this reminded me of the Jet Moto series, especially jet moto 3. Its a hoverbike racer for the ps1 and its a lot quicker pace but theres similar themes as well, including a stunt mode and a floating final level

 
This game was kinda like jet set radio and although not a hover-board its like hover shoes i think. maybe you know about it already. its called Hover i cant remember a lot about it but i do remember having fun with it for a couple of days.

Good episode, Ross. I have Trickstyle on an old physical copy in addition to digital (I think), so the EXE replacement might be great (I'll have to figure out WINE and possibly DGVoodoo, though).

I'm legit surprised there seem to be few hoverboarding games, I thought it'd be a more common sub-genre since it seems like such a slam dunk. Could just be that people need to warm up to skateboarding games again (which a game like this kind of is, from a fundamental perspective), plus also the slow-burning desire to return to the Y2K aesthetic. It could also be that people would rather play a Wipeout-type game than this, but it's hard to say.

 
Ok so I usually save and download all of RGD every time a new one comes out, but I can never get Phantasmagoria 2 to download. EVER. Has anyone had this problem? The only one I can’t frickin save. I use ‘Documents’ on IOS. I’ve used many sites and all of them say the url is non existent. Ik I’m not doing anything wrong? I’ve done its 83 other times. Help anyone?

 
@Ross Scott oh, I almost forgot: since you were going through the list of games with hoverboards, I feel a bit frustrated that you didn't mention Unreal Tournament 3. Maybe this game wasn't a big hit, but it definitely was a bigger one than a lot of games that you did mention.
