I don't think I've ever been this hype for an indie release. It's been over 10 years since we got a solid skateboarding sim but the time has come. I've been playing the Early Access PC version with map mods and it's been restoring the feeling. The controls are more difficult than skate but much more rewarding and realistic. Instead of doing your fliptricks with one stick and turning with the other, you do tricks with both sticks (one for each foot, one foot pops/scoops, the other flicks) and turn with the triggers, although you can still make slight turns/adjustments with the joystick. The fliptricks are physics-based so you can actually tweak how fast/slow you want the board to flip, when you catch, adjust the pop on your ollies for specific obstacles, etc. Takes a bit to unlearn the muscle memory coming from skate but it's worth it. Can't wait to play the new maps on release
