Gameplay

The reworked Flick-It system forms the basis of trick controls and links inputs via the analog sticks to physics-based board behavior. Off the board, the character can run and climb to reach new lines and spots.

Skatepedia explains tricks and inputs; Spectate and Spectaport make it easier to switch to ongoing sessions.
