### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic

*2020-11-07, version 2.4.2*

Absolutely fantastic deserves a 5

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!!

*2016-01-17, version 1.4.0*

This game absolutely ROCKS. Realistic Vert physics is all I've ever wanted in a skate game ever since the tony hawk series. My ONLY gripe comes from my greed in wanting to see different ramp maps (i.e. an open air ramp)  and customisable skater (colours of clothes / boards etc) 

Please Surfvey... More!!! Arghhh!

### 5/5 — Super

*2013-12-25*

This game needs to be played more please buy

### 5/5 — Old school!

*2013-03-22*

Awesome game, a lot of fun if your into vert skating. Quite realistic, great being able to play your own music while skating the ramp. Note to the developers - The pumping is hard to master and would make this a better game if it was a bit easier to get up speed. Would be great to get an update with another ramp with different features like gaps or raised sections, or even a pool!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2013-02-09*

I've been waiting for a vert game like this for years! Has a great selection of tricks and great graphics. It's very similar to skating a real pipe, as you have to pump to keep momentum. Cheers

### 5/5 — Good

*2011-08-04, version 1.3.0*

Good game
