Wont let me play the daily race, it says i already competed in todays daily race. There usto not be an ad after each race. The one nice addition is the watch a video for free coins. I could understand an ad after every couple races. ### 4/5 — Good but could be better. *2015-12-12, version 1.2.8* I love skating downhill, and I love games. But when you put two together it's hard to make a realistic game. I wish EA would just make a iPhone/Console downhill game. You need more options like clothes, boards, wheels, races.. Truck, bushings and bearing options would be a great add. I have played this game for years but I always end up starting over because it gets boring then I delete my stuff I bought then I have to buy it over again. PLEASE make an option to get cash (in-game) without having to buy $10 in real life. Graphics could need an upgrade. Graphics 3/5 Gameplay 3.5/5 Concept 5/5 Fun/boring 3.5/5 Realistic 3.5/5 Options 2/5 Money grab estimate: 100/5 Overall: 4/5 ### 4/5 — Worst songs ever *2015-11-17, version 1.2.8* Good game but the songs are terrible ### 2/5 — Fun game but is a money scam and too many ads *2015-07-12, version 1.2.8* It's a fun game. It is nearly impossible to get a lot of cash without forking over real money. You'd think they wouldn't make you pay for money because of the amount of ads but nooooo. A helmet costs 8,000? Then you have to buy a 8,000 dollar board just to able to qualify for a race. I think prices should have a 0 taken off the end. Oh wait then they wouldn't make as much money. Developers now a days are too greedy. We understand that you want to make money but if you have a bunch of ads in a game and the game is a pay to win game then you're a greedy developer. At least it's a fun game. ### 4/5 — Gnar *2014-08-11, version 1.2.6* This game is fun but as someone who actually downhill skateboards, I think it could be a lot better, maybe using actual gear from like real downhill skateboard companies. And use actual tracks used for the idf races ### 3/5 — Ok *2013-09-10, version 1.2.5* The game is great and all, but my player glitches Every couple seconds & that gets very annoying. idk if I'm the only one experiencing these problems since I saw no comments about it but please fix. It's very hard trying to save up coins cuz you constantly need to buy wheels or you will badly lose every race. & I'm not wasting .99 cents or whatever for a bundle of wheels idk who would ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-04-16, version 1.2.4* One of the best games on iOS! Just wish you would change the coins to dollars to make it more realistic and introduce the ability to purchase different kinda of slide gloves. AWESOME GAME THOUGH! I highly recommend it! 👊👊👊👍👍👍✌✌✌ ### 4/5 — Could be better *2013-03-29, version 1.2.3* It's truly an amazing game, but if you improved the graphics just a tiny bit and used real boards and gear it would easily have the potential to be on the top ten. ### 5/5 — GreAt gAyMe *2013-03-27, version 1.2.3* Best game ever but you could add freeriding in it with more slides and stuff as a new mode. And if your able to make an xbox game with this and the freeride like I said before. If you take this into consideration and dont ignore this I will be very happy thanks ### 5/5 — Great game! *2013-03-12, version 1.2.3* I love this game it really feels like im going down hill and i can say so because i am a longboarder this game is great! Please fix the bug that gets the screen messy and the font size small😒 ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2012-12-31, version 1.2.3* Fun addicting game and great if your bored/stuck in your house and you can't longboard. Some people say its annoying because the boards are too expensive in the game but I however disagree. You just keep playing and saving up for a good board. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BAD *2022-03-10, version 1.2.8* Ok so I’m on a iPhone 10 and the screen is trash fix that and the fact that on things you can not turn a lot so that’s another disadvantage so if you want to play it do so on a iPad or just don’t I really dont recommend this game ### 1/5 — Not good *2018-11-02, version 1.2.8* I do not like the graphics of the game. It is lagging a lot it needs to be fixed. I am so sorry but it takes forever to compete in a race. This is a no. Graphics 0 Overall 1 Sorry ### 1/5 — Game doesn't even fill the whole screen... *2016-08-09, version 1.2.8* There's clearly a problem with this game... Instant delete for me. ### 1/5 — Fix dis mess please *2016-05-24, version 1.2.8* I tried to download but it takes forever please let me no when you can fix it thanks👍🏼🤗👌🏻😇😁😀😅😆 ### 1/5 — 4 stars for concept *2016-02-13, version 1.2.8* I love skating games and I've been waiting for a longboard game for the 360 or X1 with basically this same concept. Downhill while wait hing your speeds and having to slide around turns. So definitely 4 or 5 stars for concept alone. Then execution is where it fails a little for me. After a few races, I'm forced to watch a 30 second ad, which isn't terrible, but for a not-so-great game, it's annoying. The graphics are the biggest pet peeve of mine. As I've been waiting for one, assumed it would be better. But what can you expect from a cheap app game? I'd love a few better upgrades for graphics as far as your character. And also more options. Hair, boards, wheels and clothes. Everything only has a few options and I definitely feel there are tons more board styles. So overall concept 5 stars. Graphics 1. Gameplay 3. UPDATE: I uninstalled the game months ago after the game deleted all my gear. I tried to send them an email and find out what happened and how to get it back and never got a response. I reinstalled hoping it was fixed. My gear was still gone but I'm giving it another chance. However I'm still having this same glitch I did months ago. I do my crew race one day and then a few days later I play again and it says I've already completed my race for today. No... I just got on. I'd send to app support but they never contacted me so I'm just changing my review. ### 1/5 — This is awful *2015-08-10, version 1.2.8* This game is a game MADE FOR people that don't know what downhill skating is, MADE BY people who don't know what downhill skating is. It is basically the the worst interpretation of the sport. I highly recommend not wasting your time downloading this game. ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2015-06-12, version 1.2.8* Game is sick and fun but why oh why make it a money grab? Why not just make a purchasable version with no adds. That way people can actually enjoy the game by beating races rather than having to buy everything with real money??? Much potential here but greediness from the makers kill it. Update: Got enough to buy a helmet is lvl8, only now...to qualify you need a $8k board. Yup scammmmmmmmmm ### 1/5 — Game ruined by cash cows *2013-01-24, version 1.2.3* If this game was not a cheap money making machine, I would actually enjoy. But in order to be good, you must pay money. You can still win most races without paying a dime, but there is a point where you will have to pay money to get they next best piece of equipment. I'm disappointed that the heart of this game seemed to be based around money, not fun. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2012-05-08, version 1.0.1* This is a great game! It's super addicting! Has kind of an old school Tony Hawk feel to it. The only problem is that when you get to later stages in the game, it is literally impossible to win without paying (with real money) for new boards and wheels. I tried to do so for hours, but it's a waste of time. To the Developers- Please fix this. There's so many good games like this one that are just ruined by this gimmick. People will delete the game soon and it will only have a shelf life of a couple weeks. No one minds the ads if it's free, just as long as it isn't set up to force you to buy items. Or make the game $0.99 and get rid of the ads and having to purchase items. I would be happy with either of those options, but its not ok with your customers the way it is. People will delete the game in a matter of days if it stays this way. So please fix this because I sincerely enjoy playing your game! ### 1/5 — Pretty awesome but.... *2012-05-02, version 1.0.1* The money system is such a scam. The only new available race I have now is a pro one, but because Ive been needing to spend all my money on wheels (and because you dont earn enough from races alone) I cant afford a helmet, and therefore cant progress through the game. I havent even bought a new board yet. I know you can purchase more coins with real money, but Im sure Im not the only one who refuses to pay for currency in "free" games like this. Stop being so greedy and maybe we'll be able to play this game again ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Game *2020-12-07, version 1.2.8* My honest opinion , I’m enjoying this game the people who created this game should update it ### 5/5 — Iran *2016-09-09* Tehran ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-08-22, version 1.2.8* I downloaded this when I was 6 and stopped Playing it and I just bought it again and I'm 10 still love he game ### 5/5 — Best game EVER!!!!!! *2016-01-01, version 1.2.8* For a girl this is the best game i have played on my iphone 6. But some levals are pretty hard, oh and glitches come every once in a while , but besides that this game ROCKS!!!!! Best wishes, Brielle😍 ### 5/5 — BEST SKATEBOARDING GAME IN HISTORY *2015-06-22, version 1.2.8* This game is sick. It's bossome!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-06-07, version 1.2.8* It's so cool! I like how you can design your character! ### 5/5 — Best skate game ever!!!! *2014-04-22, version 1.2.6* I love this game... It's like your really skating on a long board down hill!!! I even spend some money on it because its so great! 5 stars all around!!! I think they should add some jumps to it!!!! :) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-08-30, version 1.2.5* Longboarding game! Though for my iPod 5th Gen, it crashes all the time and doesn't even load sometimes. Stability can be improved also, and mutiple controls can be added along with fashion of characters as a plus? ### 5/5 — So laggy *2013-07-29, version 1.2.4* Even on offline, it's really laggy and that makes the boards really hard to handle. It's an okay game just to difficult to play. ### 5/5 — Great game *2013-07-15, version 1.2.4* Addicting, if you get stuck and you dont have the money for a new board, go to an earlier season and do a race that you know you can place 1st or 2nd in every time, and do it over and over again until you rack up the money or xp that you need --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
