Major Nelson has let everyone know that the promised demo for EA and Black Box’s skateboarding game, Skate 3, is now up and available on Xbox LIVE, but as is usually the case, only Xbox LIVE Gold members are currently able to gain access to this first slice of the title.

From the official description:

“Welcome to the Skate 3 Demo which offers both a single and multiplayer experience. Learn the ins and outs of skating with the all-new Skate.School or team up and throw down in co-op or competitive gameplay.

“Featuring new challenge types like Own The Lot and Domination, the ability to save and upload clips using the Replay Editor, and to drop objects to personalize your demo experience, the SKATE 3 demo has a little something for everyone.

“Skate 3 – Team Up. Throw Down.”

Indeed!

The demo weighs in at 863 MB, and you can cue it up for download over here.

You can also get the Skate 3 demo on the PlayStation Store a little later today.
