    Weird, this kid's cheap cameraphone strangely has HD capabilities. All unnecessary dull moments are edited out, no cheesy intro slide saying "BEST dog evr: plz subscribe" or out of place music in the background, almost like an adolescent kid didn't even make this video.

    @tande04: True, but still the general editing, quality, and content is not characteristic of this kind of video. Especially in that the vast majority of home-made "my dog does funny stuff" videos are shot as one continuous take, and don't take the time to have that much clipping and editing. Its just the combination of these things that raise suspicion.

    Why is it always bulldogs doing cool stuff like this? I've never seen, say, a lab do anything to earn street cred.

    If you are impressed, then you have much to learn about the magic of cinematography. Chances are they were actually playing the game with a controller while looking at the dog's movements and executing the correct trick, making it look like the dog is the actual player. C'mon guys.

    @Marcem: I think you're right.

    Regardless you could have another guy in the background using another board controller.

    Or it could just be the case that there isn't really that much to the game. I haven't played it I don't know. It could just be like the original Wii sports where you got all into it and used perfect baseball form only to later realize you just had to flick your wrist. A person on it could probably do the same thing and just kinda prance back and forth and get tricks out of it. Don't know, haven't tried.

    @Dooosh: I don't think they sell individual controllers apart from the game yet - so if the dog is on one controller and someone is on another, then 2 games... (from what I've read/heard there is no option to just play with a controller, and from those same reviews, you wouldn't want to anyways because the game is so simple)

    @GodfreyOriole: How is that "fake"?

    If I were thinking of ways it was fake I'd say that either someone else was actually using another controller or there was some video manipulation.

    I mean the dog is still doing it in yours so I wouldn't say its "fake".

    I think that this dog has made several cognitive breakthroughs. It understands that the screen is connected to the board and that the board can control the skater. Even understanding the "concept" of controlling something externally is completely alien to a dog.

    Totally completely amazing!!

    Is this going to be available on Wii? Probably got too much pressure from Nintendo to not tarnish it's all white selection of controllers and such. Would be bad ass if you could grip-tape that mother.

    hey holy shit here's one they could actually do - a 'speed wobble' feature, where the board starts fighting with you and amplifying your balance adjustments side to side when you reach a certain speed! THAT would be cool as all hell.
