Grinding Vert Ramps

Long time player first time suggestion. I’m level 10 on Hedgemount, Gulcrest, and Market Mile

With a rip score of 17.4k 

A true San Van Staple. 
I have only one concern after playing this long. I thought it would be ironed out by now, but ironically grinding the lip of any vert ramp: the transition out is awkward. 

if you 50-50 any half pipe, quarter pipe, or bowl— then try to slide off the coping into the ramp you’ll see what I mean. 
Ruins the flow of transition skating. 
Thanks. :) The skate franchise is the only true skateboard video game franchise. I appreciate your contributions to both cultures— video game/ skateboarding respectively.

    Yeah I seriously h8 when I'm on the coping hitting a SICK grind and I go to drop into the ramp and I'm SIDEWAYS xD

    Like bro I have grinded, went to go into the ramp, and I've hit my **bleep** on the coping xD Maybe I fall more often than others but hey I think after a 50-50 there's gotta be a way to guide ourselves straight down the ramp without getting locked up sideways up there.

  • its so frustrating!.  I loved transition skating in the previous games even though they weren't perfect but with Skate. I'm really only left with the option to do airs because the grinding exit animations or lack there of make it almost impossible to get a good realistic flow.
