As a 90s kid and skater, I have to say that I have a lot of nostalgia for these old x games courses, but let’s be honest the designers had no ide how to make a good street course. They just stuck ramps everywhere in every shape and a shiton on them. Worked better for the bmx guys and even in-line skaters.

See the thing is there wasn't even hardly street skating though. Like street skating wasn't even a thing until like the mid-90s really. These things take time :)

You can definitely see it a couple of times during the run where he has to awkwardly carve and loses all his speed haha. My favorite is the ridiculously steep like 20 stair handrail he starts with haha

I don’t think it would get anything near that. If someone did this same line in SLS I think I would get like a 5.2. He did 2 50-50’s, a switch tail slide & a kickflip nose slide that was about it. Then there was the little 360 at the end and the small grab off the ramp. Honestly I think it would be even lower than 5.2, maybe even 4.5
