Fun Physics Are Out The Window?
The game so far isn't bad. I just think that the game needs to be a bit more like previous skate games where the physics are a bit more Arcade like, going up a ramp or half pipe with momentum now jus...

I like the slower and more deliberate transition skating, as you’re not meant to get crazy air from every ramp. You have to pump deliberately around obstacles to build speed before getting big air off a ramp, which feels more realistic, rewarding, and fun to me.
That said, there are definite issues with vert. For whatever reason, pumping doesn’t seem to work properly on ramps that reach 90 degrees, meaning it’s a struggle to reach the lip with enough momentum to air unless you start big and ride that momentum from the off. It’s pretty much the biggest gameplay complaint around here.
That pumping issue with 90 degree ramps are my main issue too - otherwise I feel like the "high speed" physics were done right. You now have to start from higher places to have enough potential energy to fly off ramps. There's a few cool spots on top of buildings where you can do that. Even in Market Mile in the area with all the bowls, you can get good air if you start from the top. But maintaining your speed, even with pumps in those half pipes, is a struggle as it is right now.
