Yea but if theres no balencing then i can fs boardslide a 12 stair first try no problem there has to be some kind of balencing in the grinding or it woundt be a chalenge.

The challenge of grinding in this game is to line yourself up perfectly, ollie just at the right time, and ollie the perfect hight. Also i think the left stick controls your balance, but theres no meter.

i think balancing will either be the left stick or the bumpers(for 360).

bumpers would be gay.

Yea bumper would be akward

Ok so u balence theres just no bar and u have to line up all that

Alright i think i got it now

I remember reading that there was no balance. As long as you have enough speed a proper approach and contact with the rail you will grind. They are assuming you are a good skate and that if you can get onto the rail you are good enough to stay on. Same with manuals, as long as you have enough speed you wont fall out of it until you lose speed.

I think the bumpers will be used for placing a respawn point and respawning.

I thought the respawn stuff was in the d-pad.

y doesnt EA get this video and if they do wont dont they post it up there

Like it was said previously, grinding is all about the angle of approach, the speed, and the ollie/kickflip/whatever to get up on to the rail. There is NO infinite grinding and you will fall if you make an error on the speed, approach, or the ollie.

The actual grind is pretty basic, there isn't a lot going on mainly because there isn't a lot going on in a 2 second grind in real life. The producers are of the thought (and correctly so I might add) that if you have the proper approach and speed you should be able to grind perfectly fine. Professionals do not all the sudden lose balance during a grind, they usually have problems with getting onto the rail properly. The grinds are designed to properly emulate this.

Don't worry guys, it'll be dope.

Right right when the demo comes out ill get it and ill love it

Im just sayin i think knowing all the tricks going into the game will take away from it.

or for me it wil.

Thanks for posting the video on youtube for me, it looks awsome!

Holy crap, that looks so awesome...

i read somewhere that respawns are done with LB (left bumper for the newbs) click it once to set spot
click twice go back there

The game has improved so much its really looking sick, the animations are much smoother. But i am kinda worried about the demo because it is well before the release and i know i can't resist playing it like crazy so when the actual game comes it won't be AS sweet if I experienced everything at one time.
Don't get me wrong still stoked for everything.
