I completely stop when I’m running and get on the skateboard

[yessirskiyt]

Idk why this is only happening to me but if I’m running and I get on a skateboard, my character stops completely and then begins to move once he’s on the board. If I walk and get on the board, I keep momentum but it’s still slow. I even deleted and redownloaded the game and that didn’t fix it. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong?

not holding LMB hard enough /s

skateboard momentum is separate from walking momentum. you can see this if you use the superjump glitch and use the skateboard in the air: your upward momentum stops and you begin falling, but if you were to get off your skateboard, you continue flying up.

to preserve as much momentum as possible, jump up and get on your skateboard (we sk8rs call that a caveman). the fall from the jump height will preserve, if not give you a little, momentum when you touch the ground.

this might also be affected by your skateboard choice, as each skateboard has a different acceleration/cap. the golden skateboard, for $1500, is absolutely worth it.

You CAN transition from running to skateboard. JUMP. when running I will jump hit the mouse button, and come down on my skateboard at the same speed.

I hated the skateboard at first. But after a few gaming sessions I was able to figure out how to so the transition and how EARLY i needed to JUMP to avoid curbs and obstacles.

I was one of these players that wanted to complain "ah this feature sucks or is broken" then I put the time in and learned I was just doing it wrong. That's a lessen that I think a lot of people here need to learn. The mechanics and limitation in the game are there for a REASON. learning how to OVERCOME them is part of the challenge.

i thought to myself, "you only need a couple of seconds to figure out the interia", but then i finished reading -- i'm decent, but i still suck at timing jumps off the bridge, in the gravel, and hopping over the corners of curbs. @~44hrs, including demo

This still doesn't work, i have a move where i run, press shift to stop running, and then get on the skateboard. When i dismount, I immediately press shift and go back into running. I am pretty certain that this is a bug, because I tried this on my friend's computer AND the Free Sample version and I could run and keep the momentum of running. I have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC, and that has caused problems in other games, so do you know if this is the reason the skateboard doesnt work properly?

i know this sounds arbitrary, but is vsync on? :p

No, its off, does that matter?

some things behave strangely if vsync is on, that's probably why they asked

exactly this. i've had quantities upwards ~300 because i had VSync on and left the game running in the background, but that doesn't happen with VSync off.
