About Skateboard Racing
Skateboard Racing is a downhill or track race on a board. You balance, you boost, you do not eat the first corner.
How To Play Skateboard Racing
Pre-turn
The board answers late. Lean before the apex.
Boost on the straight
Boost in a corner is a slide into the hay.
Land rolls straight
A crooked landing is the next crash.
Gameplay Experience
Small sided
You see the ball the whole time. There is nowhere to hide a bad touch.
Goals are cheap if you rush
A trick that loses speed is a lost race.
Rematches are the mode
These games are built to play again immediately.
Gameplay Mechanics
Move / kick / jump
If a header exists, it is a jump. If a shot exists, it is a kick button.
Keeper
Some games give you one. Do not leave the line to join the pile.
Special
A charged shot is for an open look, not a 40-yard hope.

01
First touch toward the goal
A fancy touch into traffic is a turnover.

02
Shoot when they plant
Hold a line. Do not slalom for style on lap 1.
-
03
Stay goal-side on defense
Chasing the ball past your own man is how you get chipped.

04
If it is 2v2, one stays
Both attacking is an empty net.
