Starting today gamers can download a demo of Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground for the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live; a PS3 demo is set for release on Thursday.

The demo takes place in Philadelphia (one of three cities within the game) to begin shredding the pavement as contest-winning Career Athletes, Hardcore Skaters and Riggers, who alter and modify the world into their own skate park. It also includes the full-featured video editor from the full game, allowing gamers to create their own skate videos.

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is set for release on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Wii and DS on October 16.
