Suggestion: Favoriting Skate Spots

I think it would be great to have the ability to place custom pins on the map to save our favorite skate spots.

There are so many hidden gems throughout San Van that I find myself skating and battling tricks at for hours. The problem is that once I leave a spot, I often have to randomly stumble across it again later, reference screenshots of the map, or try to remember exactly where it was. With so many great spots to discover, it can be easy to forget where some of my favorites are.

A custom map pin system could solve this by allowing players to save and favorite specific locations. It would also be great if these saved spots had some kind of player identity attached to them. For example, when you're in a party, other party members could see your favorited locations and who saved them.

This could make it easier to:

- Save and revisit personal favorite spots

- Share hidden gems with friends

- Discover new spots through other players

- Build a personal collection of locations around San Van

Something as simple as a custom pin with the player's name attached could make exploring and sharing spots much more useful. I think this would be a great quality-of-life feature for players who spend a lot of time exploring the map and finding unique places to skate.

  • not a bad idea and I thought of this as well when I first started really exploring the nooks and crannys of the map but I will ague that it would kind of take away from that sense of advanced map knowledge that only comes with time and exploration, it's self progression that makes skateboarding so great but due to the games many hand holding mechanics self progression feels lacking, we don't need anymore mechanics to make things easier because there's nothing satisfying about that.
