    You can do it!. Just do it like you do in real life. Move foreward and then do an ollie with the front of the board

    How about adding some sort of really long rail, or an oddly shaped obstacle to screw around with for anyone that finds their way up their?

    I noticed it's easier to do tricks with the close-up camera view. However it's harder to see. Also, it would be amazing to have a track editor. Even in very basic one where you start out with a completely flat surface and are just able to place rails and wraps. Buying that about just a big flat playground with a few rails to practice crimes.

    Question: is there anyway to do vert tricks? Seems like it's all street based. There are lots of ramps but I don't see a purpose for them. Am I missing something?

    Also it would be nice to be able to hide the rewind button and other buttons at the top. I'm constantly hitting it by accident when doing Nollie tricks. On a related note, it seems very hard to do Nollie shuvits

    I generally manage to do one by flipping the board up and then pushing the board down again from the back to stop it from becoming a pop shove-it. It needs quite a bit of air, so try it from a height... or maybe I'm just doing it in a harder than normal way.

    That is something we plan to improve in updates. We didn't focus on it for this release.

    This is on my to do list to fix. We will just make it so you have to hit the button directly, like the other hud buttons.

    There is an impossible done in the launch trailer, which you can find in the first post.

    I agree, the rewind button placement is not very practical I hit it all the time then it just messes me all up...

    Hmm just got 8000 points in the pool. Seems kinda busted. If you ever want to get serious about competitive scores it might be good to take out the back and forth grinding trick.

    Ah. Lol. I kept trying letting go and flicking the tail after an ollie >.<

    Frontside and Backsides are still pretty tough :/

    Anyone have a consistent way of doing a 360 kick flip? Oddly if I Olly and then do a shuvit motion afterwards it does it but looks weird.

    Loving the game but a couple of bits of constructive criticism.
    -the trick names are pretty accurate but the 'impossible' is just plain wrong.
    -have a 'change stance' option. The trick names are setup for regular but many players will be goofy.
    -follow the leader style missions are always the least liked on games. Make them a bit more interesting.
    -new areas, I've only had the game a short while and it's already starting to feel stale. I think people would be willing to pay iaps for this.

    Still, I love the game, and it's by far the best skate game on iOS. :)

    Really, what is wrong with that? I have to admit, although, I have spent a lot of time around skateboarders, and done some my self, I was into agressive inline my self.

    I'm having way too much fun just goofing around in this game. I keep meaning to play some of my other games but this one keeps eating all my spare time! Great game True Axis, well done.

    Fantastic sim/game!

    Wow, True Axis nailed it on this one!

    New to the forums here, but I've been stalking around for a while.


    I am totally digging this game. Unlike many other iOS games, I actually feel like I'm really getting better as I practice (like real skateboarding). When I first started playing, I sucked, but after quite a few hours (quite a few) I am starting to be able to just skate around and nail tricks with relative ease.

    My suggestions just mirror everyone elses. Really, the the #1 thing I'd love most in this game, is a park editor. I'd love to be able to set up my own long sets of ramps and pipes for trick runs...

    Just for fun, here's a tricks reel I made. This is a compilation of my best tricks+grinds so far. Of course, I cut out the many times I failed to make this video. :D


    EDIT: Ah well, here's a youtube link for the video.
