Apparently:
“The board we’ve shown so far is like the Darth Vader of skateboards, it’s not the finished peripheral. We’re going with a white board which is more consumer friendly. It’s much more iPod-like for want of a better term,” The designers told GamesIndustry.biz.

Anyways, It’s funny to note that the board is limited to folks 300 lbs. and under! according to Robomodo and maybe that is just as well because we’ve also heard that yes, Tony Hawk Ride is indeed one hell of a work out!!

RoboModo co-founder Josh Tsui also told GI.biz:

“[the board] is the most advanced peripheral on the market. It really is going to usher a next generation of controllers for games.”
