Not sure if this will help, but there are two camera heights you can switch between: high and low. Of the two, I prefer the lower; while the lateral fov is better on the higher option, it’s angled towards the ground. Once I switched to the other, I found general traversal much easier. It’s not the default option, though.
Also, you can switch between these on the fly with the thumb sticks, along with camera orientation to left/right side of your skater. But, those toggle have to be enabled in the game settings first unless you are playing on Advanced mode.
