Exiting grinds in transition

I feel like transition skating is in a great place but the main thing holding it back for me is exiting grinds. Specifically when using the new lean out mechanic. It’s my favorite new feature but it’s kinda janky when you try to combine it with other actions. Sometimes you come out sideways, other times you start to exit but get caught and start grinding again (which would be a cool feature if we could do it on purpose in a more controlled way).

It really kills the flow of transition, just as much as popping out  of a grind and landing at the bottom of the bowl. I think slashing and power sliding into grinds feels great right now and the only thing missing really is the exits. Also the pumping and speed/momentum in general could be tuned more too.

It’s also just not very responsive. You’ll be in a grind and pulling the stick all the way over to exit and it like it has to fight the grind to exit sometimes. Maybe it’s a delay or something but I think it would feel better if it was more responsive.

I’d love a future update that makes the no pop exits look and feel more natural. Smoother animation, more responsive, and more board/body control in the middle of them. I think this would open the door to cleaner (and lower) flip outs and the same possibly even for double grinds.
