What is this

Counterskate turns CS2 into a skate game. CT and T drop in from towers on opposite corners of a mirrored park. Line up tricks for points, grind the copings, and bail hard when you don't land it.

It runs on a community server with the park from the Workshop, so everything works in the ordinary game.
