The primary risks are minimal, mainly related to potential frustration from failing to execute complex tricks or complete challenging objectives. While there's a competitive element in split-screen multiplayer and high scores, it's localized and unlikely to lead to significant social risks. The game's T rating suggests mild language, but content risks are generally low.
