Skater Xl 1228

Beyond stats, a second meaning emerged: the ideal real-world skateboard build to mirror Skater XL’s 1228 feel. Deck size: 8.125” (close to 8.12). Trucks: Hollow forged, 5.25” height (≈ 28mm axle-to-axle equivalent). Wheels: 99a durometer, 53mm — hard enough to slide, small enough for responsive flips.

Hardcore players literally built IRL boards to match their in-game 1228 settings, then posted side-by-side clips. The result? Near-identical flick response and scoop timing. Skater XL became a training tool, not just a game.

Headline: The console gap narrows as Skater XL drops a massive holiday update, introducing 1440p support, new community maps, and highly anticipated gameplay tweaks.


While the base game lacks a structured campaign, the community has filled the void through the "Daily Grind" system and community-run competitions. This is where the reference to 12/28 (December 28) becomes relevant.

In the Skater XL ecosystem, specific dates often mark:

If December 28 is referenced in a Skater XL context, it likely points to a specific event where players competed for a high score or a specific clip on that day. These daily events act as the game's "campaign," providing goals and leaderboards that the developers left out. Players on that date might have been tasked with landing a specific trick down a famous set of stairs or grinding a specific rail in one of the modded maps.

Since the release of the official 1.0 version of Skater XL, Easy Day Studios has attempted to create their own "Stats Menu" and "Gear Mods." However, the community remains split.

The 1228 build is often cited in YouTube tutorials by creators like Milan and TheBrantley as the "last good build before the devs broke modding."

Here is why the nostalgia for 1228 persists:

Shakespeare Video Collection

Showcasing behind-the-scenes videos at the Globe, candid interviews with renowned Shakespeare actors and directors, as well as controversial adaptations of the Bard, the Shakespeare video collection is an ideal resource for students, academics, and practitioners. Rare documentary footage focuses on the Globe’s status as a unique theatrical institution, whilst the collection’s critical commentaries aim to demystify and illuminate Shakespeare’s most challenging works.

This collection features:

  • The captivating documentary Muse of Fire, which follows actors Giles Terera and Dan Poole across the world as they question theatre luminaries such as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench, Tom Hiddleston, and Baz Luhrman about what Shakespeare means to them
  • Several filmed adaptations of Hamlet, ranging from a 1940’s retelling set in post-war London, to slapstick Shakespeare in Hamlet Stooged!, and a musical rendition, Heavy Metal Hamlet, performed by the experimental Australian theatre troupe, OzFrank
  • The 1997 screen version of Deborah Warner’s controversial adaptation of Richard II, featuring Fiona Shaw in the titular role
  • Adaptations of Macbeth, including Gregory Doran’s acclaimed RSC production with cast and director interviews and OzFrank’s inversion of the classic: Voodoo Macbeth

This collection includes rare footage, often from smaller theatre troupes whose experimental interpretations can provide a more comprehensive understanding of theatre in general and of particular plays. Please note that smaller theatre companies sometimes have lower budgets, which can impact production values.

Synchronised transcripts and closed captions for this collection are being added to videos on a rolling basis. All videos will have transcripts by December 2023. Where films in these collections are in a language other than English, captions will appear on the video and may not always be accessible to screen readers. skater xl 1228
