Proselytizing Skateboarding through a Videogame: Possibility Models & Lifestyle Religion

I have written a guest blog on the site Popular Culture and Theology that links the Tony Hawk Pro Skater (THPS) video game to my Skateboarding and Religion dynamic.

I basically argue that the original THPS became a vehicle to espouse skateboarding and recruit a new generation of believers. The game also modelled possibilities - introducing new ideas about what was possible in skateboarding and the culture.
