Teaming up with etnies EA today announced that the popular footwear brand's fifth annual Goofy vs Regular skateboarding competition will be making an appearance in Skate 2.

Leading a team of goofy or regular foot pros as they compete in a tournament in the ultimate team competition, the partnership will also extend to an exclusive Skate 2 shoe that will hit the United States at some point in 2009.

"The Skate franchise has always been committed to showcasing the spirit and soul of skateboard culture," said Executive Producer, Scott Blackwood. "The etnies GvR competition celebrates the fun, creativity and talent in skateboarding today. Featuring the event as one of the main competitions in Skate 2 felt like a natural integration and a perfect fit."

"I was stoked when EA committed to putting our etnies Goofy vs. Regular event in their new game! GvR is one the best skate contests of the year and has created some of the most hype and friction over the past 5 years," said Don Brown, senior vice president of marketing for Sole Technology and goofy footed skateboarder. "The original Skate was incredibly popular, so we're really proud to be a part of Skate 2."
