Yeah, I gotta say that this is by far the best game I've played on iPhone yet. I was hesitant to drop such serious flo on it ($5) but it probably payed for its self within the first 10 minutes of play. I only have one more deck to unlock, pretty stoked to see this app get developed and the new versions are going to be sick. Smash

Its alot of fun, but needs to be refined a little more. I would like to have the view zoomed out a bit so I can see stuff, better control of the screen rotation (like when you don't land straight on and the board just keeps going at an angle instead of flattening out). Also, would like a freeride option where there are no fences and no obstacles so you really can just practice tricks (I hate running out of room in the park when I am practicing).
Other then that, it really is a fun game and well worth the $5.

what about bigspins?

edrex, you are completely right. those were my only 2 complaints. i think you should be able to set the zoom level and maybe also how fast you ride would be cool so you could work on flat tricks...but also you're right about the free ride thing...gets so annoying when you keep running into fences and shizzle lol

jake .R., i dont know...you can 3 shuv and i guess you could land with your fingers the other way. ill try one

Do the boards have different strengths/weaknesses or are they all the same except for what they look like?
Also, are you guys goofy or regular fingered? I figured out that I prefer regular. Laughing

impossibles?

I'm surprised no one corrected this. the deck can't wrap around your finger. You can do weird "board front flips" though.

DRAGON88, i was saying it's not a "real" impossible because it doesn't rotate around your "foot" not because of direction.

Kay-Kay, yeah, I think they're still working on the holographic technology for that one... Confused

Sorry but I don't think any of the tricks count as "real" considering it's just glorified fingerboarding... You can land in any orientation without "falling", the game is not aimed at realism, it's aimed at being fun. Smile

Just sayin'

eviltweak what in the world are you talking about? a forward hardflip? a dolphin is just a front flip of the board. no hardflipping involved.

can you do nollie tricks on this game? just curious
