The game was developed by The Code Monkeys and co-published by Fox Interactive and Electronic Arts (EA).

Players can test their skills in either a two-player head-to-head skate off, or in one of the fast and furious modes: Freeskate, Skate Fest, Trick Contest, and a game of skateboard H-O-R-S-E, unlocking additional characters, locations, and skateboards.

Players can also choose to learn all the skateboard moves and tricks before they begin the actual game in the Skillz School mode.
