Could you build this?

No Developing a 3D downhill board sports game with responsive physics, terrain streaming, custom camera controls, and real-time multiplayer ghost sync requires specialized game engine engineering.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a WebGL/WebGPU 3D graphics stack (such as Three.js or a custom engine) with terrain mesh generation, LOD streaming, and custom downhill skating physics (using Rapier or PhysX). Real-time multiplayer and record synchronization requires a stateful WebSocket or WebRTC backend with spatial interest management. Achieving smooth 60fps rendering, realistic carving mechanics, and tight controls demands experienced 3D graphics and game physics programming.
