Lip grinding

Grinding the various lips in the game often give you the highest trick scores because they last the longest.

Grind the rail over the bowl

This rail is high above the deep end of the bowl and makes for a great place to set up a session.

Half pipes available

While you can skate the half pipe in True Skate, the game focuses more on grinds and flip tricks, making the vert ramps kind of useless.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
