Like so much of “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2,” the recently released remaster of the first two “Tony Hawk” games, the soundtrack captures the magic of the first two installments while adding some improvements.

Joyner, a musician himself, says he poured over “probably thousands” of tracks to find the perfect ones for players to hit the old skate parks to. He scoured the internet, he explains, and used everything from skate videos on YouTube to algorithms on streaming platforms like Spotify, and kept an Excel spreadsheet that categorized each song he picked to make sure he had a wide range of music genres.

“Playing [‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2’] and having our song come on, I kind of forget I’m playing this classic game that me and Jules spent a lot of time fighting in front of an N64 about,” Urian says. “Then our song comes on and every time, it’s like, ‘Woah! This is really weird. It’s really, really, really weird.'”

Merkules remembers hearing Rage Against the Machine for the first time in “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2,” as well as diving into other groups like Papa Roach, Anthrax and Public Enemy. To be included on the new soundtrack 20 years later, he says, “is definitely a bucket list thing for me.”
