We're going to give you a lot of tools and options to express yourself and show off your personality. Players can customize their character's wardrobe, body height and shape and features however they see fit. Self-expression, accessibility and inclusivity are core to skate. and we believe that skateboarding is for everyone. You can be whoever you aspire to be in San Vansterdam.
