No youll have to control your balance but not with a balance meter, more with the way your skater is leaning. Dont worry, youll have a hard time doing perfect grinds.

Also, look at 1:02 how the landing (guy landing behind the controller) is not normal, he his like floating on a cloud, strange....

good. i can sleep better tonight now. ya that landing did look awkward.

does anyone know if someone has put a youtube video up for the new video yet? My pc has a problem loading most videos (modem/router problem) but for some reason youtube often works anyways. I cant see more then the first 10 seconds off IGN.

you should just download it then.... ive got some problems runing them online too but there a download link on the right of the video, download it then it should work fine.
But sorry no youtube.

You balance when grinding? I thought it was automatic, and just a case of hitting the rail. I also thought the left stick was used to change your grind up during a grind, not balance your skater.

ok so do you balance or not????

The grinding automatically takes place when you hit the obstacle but they haven't talked about balancing a tall..although I am sure you will have to balance your body and the board with the sticks, it doesn't make sense, in a realistic skate game there's no way they'd let you grind forever.

I read that balance is in the game. you can make a 3 foot grind look like crap, or a 10 foot grind look like cake. or pie =D

I prefer pie.

Ok so u balence with one of the sticks. But i thought that started a diferent grind??

Balance in real life isn't usually like that in tony hawk's games. It is mostly based on speed and approach. Concidering if you get those right you tend to do the grind perfectly (at least until the landing, which is the hardest part alot of the time along with getting onto the rail/ledge). You tend to just slide, not so much "balance" like tony hawk's games have said. Not easy to describe, but balance isn't anything like thps games frankly.

good point, maybe its the left stick then. or saxis controls anyone?

Haha yea i kno but its a vidio game they have to make u do somthing when ur grinding dont they?

No, TH does
