The Birdman himself's just dropped the first details on his new Ride controller on Twitter, calling the just-announced peripheral a "marvel".

"The board controller is a marvel of new technology," said Hawk.

"Responds like a real skateboard. You can even go for grabs and the sensors detect it."

Tony Hawk Ride was announced this morning, making the first show of what looks to be a very snazzy plastic skateboard.
