Nowhere to hang out.

There should be a social hub for the player and their friends.  A custom skatepark where they can meet up, voice chat, select missions.  There could be places for rewards and trophies to be displayed as they are earned.  The park would evolve as the players progress and earn new obstacles or decorations.  It would make it easier for everyone to be on the same server. 

Same with skate shops.  They should be locations in the game with items on display.  There could be weekly challenges or occasional skate competitions for unique loot.  They could have their own social hubs as well. 

A way to dislike or skip a song.  Please.
