This short Skate 3 trailer announces the arrival of the playable demo on both Xbox Live! marketplace and the PlayStation Network on April 15th. The game itself is due in stores on May 11th/15th.

The demo will give players a taste of the University District in the all-new skater’s paradise of Port Carverton, Players will shred through a series of single and multiplayer challenges including Domination, Own the Lot, and the bone-crushing Hall of Meat.

In addition to the modes and challenges, players can learn the ropes or perfect their skills in the all-new Skate.School featuring Coach Frank. Gamers can also sample the all-new object dropper by using 24 different items to tweak and alter the University District to create a personalized demo experience. Once players have that perfect trick nailed, they can capture the moment with the in-game Replay Editor and upload footage of themselves with the Skate series’ immensely popular Skate.Reel.
