The game uses a third-person skateboarding perspective across multiple parks and urban stages. Players complete objectives within a time limit, including score goals, collectibles, and trick-specific tasks. Core controls revolve around ollies, grabs, flips, grinds, manuals, and chaining them into long combos; revert helps connect aerial landings into ground combos. Progression unlocks new stages, characters, gear, and hidden content, while custom skaters let players tailor appearance and attribute balance for different play styles.

Strategy
Learn to link grind, manual, and revert consistently before chasing extremely long combos. Study each level's rail lines, ramps, and secret routes so you can keep your line moving with fewer drops. For custom skaters, prioritize balance, aerial control, and combo stability to make objective runs more forgiving.
