Very nice, solid start. Controller support is much appreciated and feels very, very good, much better than the keyboard. Animations for the character are nice, feel responsive. But the speed itself is kinda lacking - it feels like I was slowing down while proceeding on the track. Also - dunno if that was the camera or perspective - got that very same feeling a couple of times during jumping ramps.
Grindrails are a nice touch, but if you ignore them - you can fly off the map and need to restart.
It's a solid surf movement prototype.
