Olympic skateboarding star Margie Didal officially makes history as the first ever Filipino professional skateboarder to join the ranks of the legends of Activision Blizzard's Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 game.
The news was announced by Tony Hawk The Game with a post that read:
"New skater alert! Stoked to announce that @margielyndidal is on the roster of new Pros in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. Available July 11!"
For fans of Didal, this is huge. Her fun personality, technical skills, and creative approach to skating have made her a standout on the global scene.
Now, players will get to control her in-game and pull off the same tricks that have made her a crowd favorite at competitions.
Didal’s addition to the THPS series is another step forward for representation in skateboarding games.
She joins an already legendary lineup, but her inclusion means more skaters from different backgrounds get to see themselves in one of the most iconic skateboarding franchises ever made.
Her path from selling kwek kwek on the streets of Cebu to making a name for herself in skateboarding is nothing short of inspiring.
From being welcomed into the Red Bull family, competing in the Olympics and now landing a spot in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise, Didal continues to prove that skateboarding can open doors in ways she never imagined.
This moment really shows just how much skateboarding in the Philippines has progressed. Didal continues to break new ground.
With THPS 3 + 4 dropping on July 11, skaters won’t have to wait long to play as Didal and bring her smooth style to classic levels.
No matter if you’re hitting massive combos or just cruising around, this is a perfect way to celebrate one of skateboarding’s brightest personalities.
