Stoked Rider E3 video, tribute to Tommy

Bongfish sent along a new video that was featured during E3. Unfortunately, the game's spokesman and professional snowboarder, Tommy Brunner, died in an avalanche just a couple weeks prior to E3.

"PhysX-card company AGEIA put us on display at their booth, so we took this chance showing our latest tech to the public. You should know that for quite some while now we experimented on how to integrate avalanches into the game, since avalanches are one of the reasons big-mountain-snowboarding is seen as a highly dangerous extreme-sport.

... then 2 weeks in front of E3 Tommy died in an avalanche. Being shocked from losing a friend and the game's spokesperson this tragedy gave us great concerns on how to handle the upcoming show - months of preparations for a never-seen-before avalanche-effect followed by the game protagonist dying in a real-life avalanche.

Therefore we removed tommy's name from the E3 avalanche demo - today we release a video with footage from our E3 presentation - it is our small tribute to Tommy."
