According to Gamasutra, Robomodo, the independent developers responsible for Tony Hawk: Ride and the upcoming Tony Hawk: Shred, are sadly going to have to lay off some staff.
A source in Chicago, speaking directly to Gamasutra, claimed that those made redundant have already been informed.

Tony Hawk: Ride may have been useless as video game, but that sturdy plastic controller may have a second calling as a real skateboard. All you need is your own wheels.
Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk may have just officially sent the Activision PR team into a 720-degree tizzy, tweeting about Tony Hawk: Shred, quite possibly the more shred-tastic follow-up to the skateboard-as-controller experiment Tony Hawk: Ride.
Tony Hawk seemed to take matters into his own hands last night, hopping onto Twitter to get people to play his latest skateboarding game Tony Hawk’s Ride.
Skateboarding hero Tony Hawk is still positive on the possibility of more Tony Hawk Ride and more skateboard controller support, despite harsh critical reception and cool sales of the Robomodo developed game.
