The Universal Record Database is where any average Joe (or Joe the Plumber) can create and set world records. Tony’s drinking buddy for the record breaking feat was Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com, who recently had a chat with Tony for a Digg Dialogue.

Tony Hawk made a visit to the White House today to meet President Obama, and managed to get away with skating down the hall in the White House. Looks like some good run-up for whatever he’s about to try, and as far as I know this is a first for skateboarding… Check the photo and follow @TonyHawk for more updates.

Even though I don’t want to admit it, this is pretty cool. I can’t explain it, so check out this video on Quicksilver’s site. It’s got Tony Hawk, Alex Olsen, Danny Garcia, Reese Forbes, and Kyle Leeper.

It looks like that will stay the same, but the way you actually play the game is in for a big change.
