Is there a list of what gear/brands are in this?
and NY, Philly & SF, or is there more?
I sucked at Skater XL but am hearing better things about this game
I'm trying to find a list, but off the top of my head- Almost, Antilanta, Santa Cruz, Heroin, Welcome, Jart, Magenta, Element, Zero, OJ Wheels, Snot Wheels, Satori, Fallen, Es, Adidas, Santa Cruz, Flip, Thank You and Meow.
There's just the three cities for now, but the NYC map especially is super detailed and big. They're planning on adding more. If SkaterXL gave you trouble, I can't say this is gonna be easier, but once you start dialing things in, it's super satisfying, especially on manual catch with low grind alignment.
