Skate Physics

Yo. So the ramp physics need to be a little smoother. What I mean is that when i’m approaching a ramp pushing i get to the transition it slows down and I can’t get to the top half the time. The speed just starts to drag… It’s really bad at the Grom dock ramp at the end. i push all the way down the dock and my speed drops all the way up the ramp and i can’t even pass the coping. Also, lip tricks are completely absent. if i roll up to a curb or rail i think ill do a nollie 180 fs to nose blunt, then nollie out. But, you can’t do this unless you’re rolling parallel/angled to the rail or curb ect. not just straight onto the curb, box whatever. especially on ramps. just an old school rock n roll/rock n roll fakie, or straight up to a nose stall or tail stall ect.

  • You shouldn’t be pushing up ramps: you’re meant to pump. You’ll get more speed this way.

    Lip tricks are possible, too. You can pop into them, or push up on the thumbstick as you approach the coping. Don’t hold it though or you’ll air out.
