First of all, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin routinely walks around the bench, and colliding into him will cause you to bail.

* ContestedSequel: ''Skate 3'' is not a bad game by any means, although a significant number of the ''Skate'' community prefer the second game due to its more dynamic map and more realistic depiction of street skating, while ''Skate 3'''s gameplay is more arcade like and closer to the ''VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater'' games.
Added DiffLines:
* EvenBetterSequel: ''Skate 2'' is generally considered to be superior to the first game due to the larger map, more customization features, and improved physics and controls. ''Skate 3'' also have many fans due to its park creator feature and improved multiplayer features, and it helps that as of 2021 it's the only game which still have its online servers on.

** There are various glitches that let you get up to speed without much pushing, but by far the most potent is the "Backwards Man" glitch. Throwing your board, jumping, clenching your fists by pressing RB/R2 at the peak of your jump, and then pressing Y/Triangle to get back on your board just before you land results in insane speeds, sometimes over 100 MPH. If you go fast enough (and have a clear enough path to skate on), you can even end up out-speeding the camera.
