Video games aimed at motivating players to exercises have gained popularity over the last few years, but most games are still designed for indoor scenarios. In this paper, we present a platform for a novel game concept: a mobile video game that is controlled by performing tricks on a real skateboard. The platform consists of two parts. A well-protected small wireless sensor module integrated unobtrusively into a skateboard and trick detection software that employs data mining techniques to classify skateboarding tricks from the raw data. We show the feasibility of the approach by presenting Tilt'n'Roll, a prototype skateboarding game application built on this platform.
