Badly designed run ups, stairs, ledges & rails
I don't know how i'd describe my play style, its like unrealistic realistic skating (example on yt below)

However so often things in the map are close to being great but because of poor design suck.
Too often theres a sick rail set of ledge, however no run up or a trash can or tree at the landing. Its like these things have been deliberately put there to ruin the spot or no thought into making it skate-able. San Van is meant to be a city where skaters are first class citizens, but no skater would design a city with obstacles to ruin spots.
I've attached two pics, the best ledge and rail in the game imo (would love more huge straight ledges or rails). The rail length is perfect but so steep you land halfway down with little speed, its skatebale but could be so much better & the ledge goes straight to ground which completley ruins what could be awesome, would be a bonus to have a 10ft drop off the end of both.
The ledge in the video could be so much fun but they've literally stuck crash barriers at the landing to kill it. I don't know if the devs skate, am I the only one who finds these design a hinderance to what could be an awesome session or makes a spot not worth bothering.
