When EA had announced Skate It for the Nintendo Wii and how it would be using the Wii Balance Board, that comes with WiiFit, it was believed that you wouldn't be able to preform tricks using the Balance Board.

However new promotional material, one piece which can be seen up above, shows that the Balance Board will indeed allow players to perform tricks using it. The balance Board has been divided into six different zones, seen above in the picture, with each zone allowing different tricks to be performed ranging from ollies to kick flips and more. The WiiMote will also stilled be used as the D-Pad will add more variety to the tricks so they don't get stale and boring.

General controls with using the skateboard will have the played leaning backwards and forwards to perform manual tricks and lean left and right to stear the board. Power slides will also be able to be performed if the player manages to shift their weight on the balance board.
