Any pinball enthusiasts that could help me remember a table name?

I could ask in the vpinball forums, but I don't have an account there. My memories are really vague. I have the feeling the table is skateboard or high school themed. It should be before the 90s or near to it because it didn't have a led matrix screen but 16 segment display arrays to show the scores and messages. What I strongly remember is the displays showed scrolling skateboards when the ball dropped. Something like:
Code:
\ _ _ _ _ _ _
|_| |_|
I've checked various YouTube channels with VPX galleries without success. The places are filled with originals or mods making it difficult to browse anything historically accurate. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

What immediately comes to mind is Radical! which was released in 1990 and has segmented displays that allow the description you provided. I have never personally played it, but did see some videos of it on John's Arcade that seem to suggest it might meet your requirements.
Also, you can try digging through The Internet Pinball Machine Database (ipdb.org) if all else fails - but a bit of warning that it is easy to head down a rabbit hole that you may never come back up from.
Yup...just saw a video here, and it fits your description at the 1:14 mark.

I knew it was from a known brand, never though about looking for "Bally" without "Midway". The ipdb.org will come in handy next time I need to look for another one. Thank you both for the help.
