Did Skate or Die copy this game?

Unless Skate or Die is a very common expression, I am pretty sure that, at least, it is a nod EA paid to the arcade game, because Skate or Die is similar in that it had a number of mini-game skating events like 720, but I believe it got rid of the exploring the city and avoiding the bees.  Skate or Die is pretty much Tony Hawk before Tony Hawk, done mini-game mode.

Info on Skate or Die:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate_or_Die!

lol I didn't even notice that in the video that it said Skate or Die when the timer was running low.  I was just checking the video out briefly and it looked like Skate or Die.  Then after your first sentence I was like common expression?  and checked the video out more.

It is possibly a common statement, with several video pieces/documentaries by the same name done, including one b MTV I believe.  It may of existed independently or 720 had such a huge impact, it caught on.  Others can research this further.
