A friend of mine had that one; it was more of a traditional game in that there was a story and levels in addition to the events. The only things I recall was skating in a mall and the sewer and a boss who tried to smack you with her purse.
I also wasn’t very good at it and spent more time watching my buddy play and wishing we were playing Mega Man or Mario instead.
Just saw a General Practitioner on Monday to have them schedule one. My dumb ass thought I could just order one up through MyChart. I’m like I’m old enough to have one why do I need a doctor to tell another doctor to let me have the procedure?
So, was he supposed to look like a punk Rodney Dangerfield and that's why his name is Rodney and I'm just now learning this as a 44 year old who played this as a kid?
I had this game and completely fucking forgot about it until this post. But as soon as I saw the screenshot I remembered it all. Holy shit, what a blast from the past that was lodged DEEP in my brain.

Nice; I liked this one way more, I could actually win some of the events haha.

What about Skate or Die 2? I can't remember playing it honestly.

Oh what kind of “skiing,” supplies you got in here Rodney?
Czarcastic013@reddit
Pretty sure he gets no respect.

Funkdamentalist@reddit
Wrong game. That's 720°
dirtybacon77@reddit
Oh man, my bad! Mentally if I hear “skate or die” I instantly worry about bees!

Rodney Recloose - skate or die!
Ganson@reddit
If you are old enough to recognize this man, this is a reminder to schedule your colonoscopy!
Moons_of_Moons@reddit
They only made me do poop test. That was OK so no anal probe yet!
Acceptingoptimist@reddit
Literally had my first this year.
HoneyWhiskeyLemonTea@reddit
How'd it go? Mine is coming next year.
TacosAreJustice@reddit
It’s not terrible… I went the over the counter laxative and power ade route vs the prescribed stuff…
It really wasn’t bad.
Acceptingoptimist@reddit
I re-watched Masters of the Universe in intervals while I completed the process.
BloodyRightNostril@reddit
Had mine in December of ‘24. The prep sucked but the propofol nap was amazing. Can’t wait for the next one in ‘29!

You sound like my doctor

Rodney Dangerfield
1pt20oneggigawatts@reddit
He had a last name?!
Feed_Guido_69@reddit
Was he not also in "ski or die" too?
Res_Novae17@reddit
Is that his canon name? I just realized he looks like Rodney Dangerfield. Can't be a coincidence.
Rdubya291@reddit
He's the reason I joined the Marine Corps!

Skate or Die!
maxpowerdj@reddit
Yo dude!
Skate or die. Skate skate skate skate or die, da da da da da da die. I only played part 2 😂
sincerelyryan@reddit
I remember the mall!
TheJizzle@reddit
I painstakingly mapped out every room in the buildings in part 2 on paper to make sure I didn't miss anything. All while listening to Pearl Jam - Ten.
maxpowerdj@reddit
I have done this as well for other games.

Always choose goofy foot
Kelvin_Inman@reddit
I feel like we all played this game, and we all loved it, but I also recall it having frustrating controls.
I think California Games played better.
GarciaWolf@reddit
Was California Games the one with hacky sack?
supguy99@reddit
foot bag
Roguebantha42@reddit
Yesssss
Mental_Pound4509@reddit
I'm with you except I liked T&C surf better
That1Master@reddit
T&C was really hard but fun. I mastered the surfing part but the skateboard part was ruthless.
Olelander@reddit
T&C surf was addictive to my 3rd grade self. It’s the one I remember most clearly
Kalel42@reddit
You have described half of the NES library. I love so many of them, but a lot of them are ROUGH.
Good-Bodybuilder-985@reddit
I liked this one because I could play goofy foot.

Same. I always wondered why he looked so old. Now I know.

Nope. Still hear the giggle in joust.

I played that game as an overnight rental. I doubt I spent more than 3 hours on it. And that remains lodged in my head ever since.

Skate or die the second one is better than the first.

I miss the days where you could take more liberties in games with copyright and licenses. By the mid 90s that pretty much stopped.
frisch85@reddit
I mean the name of the game is in the picture.
But do you guys know this one?
impactblue5@reddit
Wow that took me back lol. Joust was the best
mickeltee@reddit
I was having an old man moment. I kept saying, “he’s from the skateboard game!”

Dear god - this was my brother’s game but I played it all the time. I was much younger than him and definitely sucked at it but loved it!!
Only thing I was somewhat good at was half pipe and occasionally joust (luck).
JamarcusFarcus@reddit

you glorious bastard, yes I do!
ammodramussavannarum@reddit
He always reminded me of Rodney Dangerfield
yeeaarrgghh@reddit
I joined the Marines because of him. I thought all Marines were purple hair skaters. Turns out, the skater's part was right, but no purple mohawks.
Obi_Wan_Benobi@reddit
I wonder if this was cleared with Rodney or if it even mattered back then.
WolvesandTigers45@reddit
When did Rodney Dangerfield do a video game?
