* Reduce potential for pedestrians to spawn in an active challenge location thank jebus for this.
At one point during a challenge I had spend ten minutes 'walling off' a location from ped traffic, with benches and dumpsters, to be able to even try it. Sometimes I'd teleport back to session marker, and there would be people inside my friggen construct anyway!!!! -

dude I'm pretty sure they had a guy whose job was 'spot ruiner' for fucks sake.
the sheer number of 'almost incredible' skateable stuff like great line opportunities, giant grinds, great drops, clever inclines to use to boost over streets/etc .... which ALL had the WORST possibly placed tree, curb, fire hydrant, immovable rail, or seemingly neverending pedestrian spawners placed right in their approaches.... made me think they must have had someone doing that shit on purpose.
