So I was playing the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and I just realized that the entire framing device for the game is pro skaters travelling to various locations to make skating videos. It's why you get a tape for completing each objective. It's also why all the tapes feature the 411VM logo (a skate magazine known for it's skating VHS tapes). Odd though that it took them until Proving Ground to actually try and replicate the low angle, fish-eye look of 90s skate videos.
Don't know why it took me nearly 20 years to realize this, but it's actually a neat little touch that sadly went away in later games.
