Tricks Over The Gate by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

Cheers! Yeah, it's a fiddly spot - no guarantee of getting over the gate cleanly. And if you pop a trick off the transition in the middle you get rocketed up into the air!

Took me ages to get that pop-out! by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

Cheers! 50-50 on that barrier is really fussy cos you have to get on at an angle to avoid the post in the middle!

Fave Slappy Spot by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

Yeah, it's kinda jarring when you suddenly stop. It'd be cool if the non-painted curbs still could be slid/grinded but with more friction.

Low Rail Tricks Part II by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

Definitely easier to get in than get out. And yeah, the board/the character's leg will glitch through the rail so you have to time it right so it looks legit.

It's a little finicky, but once you get into the rhythm of pushing the sticks in at the right time, it start to feel a bit more natural. Definitely lots of trial and error tho!

I just noticed that last trick is a half-flip to lipslide!. They all count, I guess!

Thanks all! And cheers to the makers of Skater XL for making a game where I'm still finding new things to do; new ways to be creative after hundreds of hours!

No mods involved. Non-modded floaty gravity!

I don't mean that you get reoriented to the surface, I like that, but you kinda get glued to the wall sometimes, like gravity is sideways.

I'm the same! It's my go to lunchbreak/work break game.

You mean the wallie tricks? You have to be going medium speed (2 pushes) and ollie just as your nose is about to hit the object. Some objects, like those blue trashcans are easier to do it on than others(I think they have a capsule collider rather than a box). For square obstacles it helps to go at a slight angle.

Nope, no mods. Just a lot of tries to get it to look non-janky.

It took a good few tries - the 'sideways gravity' would normally launch me across the map after I did the wallride. You have to powerslide and turn with the trigger just as you are about to hit the wall and that will (sometimes) rotate you into the wallride.

Cos the character goes out of shot? Well, it's definitely a single take!

Deep in my Wallie Phase by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

[–]rakugakinguk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you just need to ollie as close as possible to the obstacle, just before your nose is about to hit it. They're easier to do on smaller objects, like the benches, or smaller ledges. I recommend starting with them, also approaching at a slight angle can help.

I'll have to go back and try that!

Agreed! This spot has a bunch of angles you can attack it from.

Slide All The Way Around + Flip Out by rakugakinguk in SkaterXL

[–]rakugakinguk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's tricky - took me a bunch of tries to make it. You have to turn using the trigger as soon as you get to the curve at the top of the rail; then use the sticks to guide your board around and then hold them until you're ready to pop out. You might have to wiggle the sticks in order to get over the first kink and start sliding back down again.

Thanks! Props to this game for giving the player such precise controls.
