That could be one of the greatest things ever, or could kill the whole skateboard game concept. The way they do it is the whole thing to watch out for.

It would suck compared to the analogue sticks in my opinion... If they're trying to simulate skateboarding with an actual skateboard, they'll fail miserably. Using analogue sticks to create a new and unique take on skateboarding game game-play was very good.
