This game is excellent. The trick mechanics are fantastic. It is on the way to being a cult classic at the very least.
With that said...
CRITIQUE
I believe it is obvious that the main drawback of this technical demo is the lack of an ability to reposition the camera! Auto-tracking would be ideal, but players should at least be able to change the angle in some way or it immediately begins to feel very much like a cage with a cool skateboard.
You also need to consider the future expansion of this project more thoroughly when developing now. NET CODE IS TERRIBLE. Please at least cursorily read into the process of creating a synchronized multiplayer environment so that in the future, WHEN (not if) you want to do so, you will be able to without extreme pain.
I would be happy to help you with all aspects of this. I have done a lot of UI/UX design in the past, and I think I could at least help you storyboard this thing. I know you don't want to treat this professionally, but I urge you to reconsider this. This game has serious potential. Don't waste it due to stubbornness.
On a lighter note, here are some of the specific bugs / missing features I noted.
BUGS / UNIMPLEMENTED FEATURES
Cannot be closed
The current structure -- with Account leading to Sign Up & Login -- doesn't really make sense... we can discuss if you'd like

this would make the game 10x better immediately. But is no small feat to implement well.
I don't think that staring at your player-model before choosing a menu item is ideal. Maybe the plan is to have a nice, animated standing player wherein your Cosmetics can be inspected and modified, but something should really be changed here.
Before fully implementing modifying all controls, it would be prudent to maintain a document which explains all features as of now. I will of course help with this if you let me.
I won't include any further speculation / my 2 cents regarding the direction of the game, other than we do need a goal.
