Momentum / Pumping doesnt work

Hello, 

You cannot skate vert/ halfpipe with the current physics system. For example, the halfpipe to the side in bawski park or whatever, the place where you do the vert tutorial? Yeah, its impossible to get enough speed to actually clear either side of the halfpipe. I tried for 5 minutes straight. I am a skate 3 addict, been playing it consistently for years, I know what I'm doing.

 But it doesnt work. This is because "Pumping" doesnt work, which is when you press forward on the control stick as you transition from moving vertical down to horizontal. This is supposed to increase your speed. It does not do that.

The only way you can skate vert properly in this game is to go to the advanced gameplay settings and increase the pump/vert assist or whatever. Its set at 50 to begin with, which doesnt make any sense because at that setting you are stuck at this extremely slow and sluggish max speed while in vert areas no matter how much speed you'd actually get in a real world setting. You have to crank it to 100 to even get functional speed for doing tricks. 

This isn't a matter of taste, it is the fact that you literally cannot use the halfpipe I mentioned earlier without cranking up this setting.
