The Kings didn ' t . And their guy made the allNBA team . That argument holds no water . <| sep |> The whole soundtrack was great , but Yellowcard was the only band from it that I felt compelled to go out and buy . Great cheesy pop punk . I also respected that they used a QOTSA remix that sounds nothing like the original song it shows they were going for a particular vibe rather than just throwing popular artists in there . edit I also LOVE how the layers of the songs were taken out when you bailed . So you ' d be riding to just the drum track , with bass , guitar , vocals etc . slamming back in when you land a trick . And it all went muted when you rode through a cave ! Absolutely amazing sound design . <| sep |> I ' m always a little disappointed when newbie factories aren ' t drowned in spaghetti . One of the best parts of this game is looking back at your earlier creations and asking , Who the hell designed this oh wait , I did .
