Better field of view settings in Skater XL
The first thing to note here is that everyone's FOV preferences are different, but what is usually meant by this question is "how can I raise the camera higher?" »
The second thing to note is that Skater XL does not allow you to adjust in-game camera settings through the basic settings menu, but you can change them through modding. We've already covered a few mods in a list, but today we'll be covering the one that will help you raise the camera so it doesn't sit so low.

Low planes can be great for video games, but you don't always want to play your game with this kind of look because it can sometimes get in the way. Raising the camera higher can help you see obstacles better and gauge distance more accurately so you can time your tricks.
XL Graphics by Babbo hosted on the Skater XL modding community website aims to let you change the FOV in freeplay as well as in the replay editor so you can get things exactly the way you want. In the camera section of Babbo's settings, you'll be able to adjust the FOV (camera height) and make your game look the way you want.
You can change your camera to Normal, Low which is already present in the game, POV (Point of View) if you want a first person experience, or you can set it to Follow which makes the camera pan to up when doing your tricks. So, for example when you do an ollie, the camera suggests which board is better.
For these cases the best options will be either Normal or Next and then you can change your field of view using the slider so you can fine tune or zoom out as much as you want, to have a wide view or a more focused view.
As mentioned in our previous article on mods, you will need to access them by dropping the mod file into the Unity Mod Manager. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can walk you through this, or if you're part of the Skater XL Discord community, they can help you out if you get stuck.
