I wonder if this is what the topic is about? I googled "is asphalt a video game." and got this:
"Asphalt is a series of racing video games developed and published by Gameloft. The first game in the series is Asphalt Urban GT. Asphalt 4: Elite Racing marks the first game in the series to be released for the iOS system".
the top of the skateboard is actually an asphalt clone. Just look at its texture. If you shot a skateboard from the top, you wouldn't know it's there because it blends well with the asphalt background.
