Skitchin' is a Mega Drive/Genesis game, created by Electronic Arts in 1994.

It has a very similar Road Rash playability and shares the same software engine, but the players are put on violent races involving inline skating, instead of motorbikes. You can ride (skitch) cars, bikes and trucks to earn speed advantage over the competitors and you can pick up weapons from armed enemies and from the ground. Cash is earned winning races, doing tricks, defeating enemies and skitchin cars, and you can spend it on better Inline gear (such as more resistant Elbow Pads to protect you from injuries).

You can be put out of the race wearing out your Inline skates, accumulating injuries in eventual accidents or being under arrest (in a similar Road Rash fashion, including funny animations according to the case).
