A small flood of new media for the upcoming Tony Hawk: Ride has hit the streets.

After a one-year hiatus to re-invent the series "from the ground up," Activision has announced that its Tony Hawk skateboarding games will return with Tony Hawk: Ride--controlled by a brand new skateboard peripheral (pictured left).
