Gameplay
Gameplay consisted of the player picking from 1 of 6 characters, each with their own stats, competing in a series of downhill skateboarding, races with the primary goal of getting first place, where a total of 8 contestants compete in 3 locations ; San Francisco, London, and Kyoto. Courses had varying lengths and trick items which can be altered by picking the different difficulties which are: Kids Mode, Normal Mode and Expert mode. During the race contestants can perform tricks to gain points and are ranked with a letter system with SS being the highest. The arcade cabinet supported multiplayer by linking the systems together to allow up to 4 players to compete.
Misc
Due to the arcade cabinet being rare as the game only saw location tests in Japan, information about the game along with gameplay is somewhat hard to obtain. Emulating the game is also near impossible to do as the game runs on the Sega Chihiro board which is based on the Original Xbox, which lacks a good emulation scene.
