heelflips and especially nollie heel flips seem just a millisecond slower than kickflips. the animation takes longer and it's harder to do relatively easy tricks like nollie heel nosegrinds. you have to time them differently or else the skater just bails, and when you do time them it just feels "off".

also another issue i've had with basically all skateboarding games... why is landing a grind/slide to fakie result in a bail unless you're going super fast or super slow? it should be just as easy as landing normal. i'm talking backtail fakie, blunt fakie, tailslide fakie, five-0 180, nosegrind 180 and so on. and while we're at it, why can't i do quick small 360s on flat? like backside 360s or nollie cabs. or 270 out of ledge tricks without popping the fuck out?

i also have a recurring issue with the thumbsticks just ceasing to work after a while and only doing reverts. i have to get back to the main menu and start a new game. not a huge issue but it's annoying sometimes.
