The skitchin’ victory dance where he elbows himself in the junk is still something a couple of my friends joke about.

My dumb friends and I as kids actually tried Skitchin’ irl because of that goofy game. No pads, didn’t even know how to roller blade, comfortable in the knowledge that “all you’ve really got to do is hold onto a bumper”. Didn’t go great but luckily no one was seriously hurt!

God I think I might still have the box for this somewhere.
Yes, it did use the word Bitchin’ IIRC.

Yep same! Directly after playing we strapped on the blades and skitched a few cars in his apt complex.
A guy stopped his truck and chewed us out. Kids are so stupid

A magazine advertisement for the game, which used the headline “Skatin’, Hitchin’, Bitchin’, Skitchin’”, was criticized for its use of profanity. EA associate publicist Fiona Murphy recounted, “The American Slang Dictionary defines the word bitchin’ as ‘good, excellent, superior.’ Our use of the word was with this meaning in mind and was not intended as profanity. Skitchin’ is an action-packed, hard-core street game, and we felt the word bitchin’ in the headline … reflected the attitude of the game and also conveniently rhymed with Skitchin’.”
Skitchin’ was Blockbuster Video’s fifth-highest renting Sega Genesis title during the month of August 1997.

ESPN Xtreme Games was a fixture in my cousin’s basement circa 1996
So much so I bought for myself 2Xtreme, and then 3Xtreme, the long awaited fully 3D version
