Is this the future of skateboarding games!? VR skating feels INSANE!

Virtual reality skateboarding games have always been super intriguing to me, but they've never really felt "real".. until now. Virtual Skater by far feels like the most "realistic" VR skateboarding game that I've ever played. There is DEFINITELY a steep learning curve for it, but after seeing what's actually possible within the game, it has a ton of potential.
