Controllers are getting crazy these days.  Gotta be the Wii that paved the way.  First the announcement of DJ Hero and now this.  Tony Hawk's Ride includes a new controller with motion sensors.  "Grabs can be performed by actually grabbing the edge of the board, with infrared sensors picking up your hand position, and pushing is performed by running your foot along the side of the board. Ollies and flip tricks are obviously going to be a bit different than the real deal, while manuals and steering are pretty much spot on, and apparently there's a lot of choice as to how much "realism" you'd like in controlling the thing."

Apparently, Hawk is quite good at the game.  No surpise there.  All I know is that Josiah would have killed for one of these things.  Check it...
