INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Many, many people have hailed Tony Hawks Underground 2 "The worst in
the Series", but I love this game. Every year when Neversoft brings out
a new skateboarding game, I always like it. It all started with a demo
to Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 back in 2000. The demo level was Marseilles
(sp?), and I played the demo a lot, more than I have actually played
some other of my original Playstation games!!
I ended up picking up the great game. Since it was my very first
playstation game, I played it a lot. Then Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 came
out. Not having a Playstation 2, I got the game on it's release date
for the playstation, and was addicted to the game. So addicted I even
completed the game with every character - even the secret ones! THPS4
came out, picked that up, and even though it was a different style from
the other two, it was heaps fun, even more so than the previous games.
So I had no hesitations in getting Tony Hawk's Underground, and what a
great game that was! I was still playing it a year after I got the
game, and I was still playing it the morning before I got this game,
Tony Hawks Underground 2, which is again excellent. I hope you enjoy
reading this guide and find all the help you need to complete the game.

button to vert plant.
Tantrums Sometimes when you stack, a meter will come up.
Rapidly press triangle to throw a tantrum.
Sticker Slap Jump into a wall and press the X button to sticker
slap the wall and make the skater head back in the
other direction. Replaces the wallplant from thug.
Graffiti Go up to a wall and press triangle to graffiti. Can be
done in a combo off the board to get more points.
Bigger the combo, bigger the size of the tag.
Natas Spin Find something with a point (or flat) top that is
quite small, like a fire hydrant. Jump into it and
press triangle plus R1 to perform the natas spin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IN DEPTH TRICK DESCRIPTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This describes all the tricks in the series that are not new. The newer
ones are listed below.
OLLIES
An ollie is a jumping trick. Just jump in the air and do a spin to get
an ollie. Ollies don't show up straight away when you go up on a vert
ramp, because it is waiting for you to do a trick, like a grab trick.
If you don't perform one, when you land, it will count it as an ollie.
To do an ollie, just press X to jump, and then spin around.
GRAB AND FLIP TRICKS
Both of these are performed in the air. To perform a Grab trick, press
the Circle button plus a directional button. To do a flip trick, press
the Square button plus a directional button. Hold down the flip trick
to get bigger points. This can't be done with flip tricks. Spinning
these tricks will give you more points.
GRIND AND LIP TRICKS
Grind tricks are tricks where you use the board to slide across an
object, such as a rail, wire, or a ledge. To do a grind trick, approach
a ledge that looks straight and press triangle. Press different
directions before you jump and grind the ledge to determine what grind
you do. Also, pressing buttons like circle, circle can change the
position of you when you are grinding. To perform a lip trick, go to a
vert ramp, and at the top of the vert ramp (not the air) press the
directional button. This will perform a lip trick. If you angle and are
moving to the left or right, it will grind, so lip instead.
MANUALS AND FLATLAND
A manual is something you do on the ground that keeps your trick combo
going, so you can get more points. These can be linked using reverts
off of vert tricks. To do a manual, on the ground press up, down, or
down then up. You must balance out your manual. The more you stay in a
manual, the harder it becomes to balance and the less speed you get.
Flatland is tricks you perform in a manual. Pressing different button
combos can get tricks, like Pogo, Handstand, etc. Tricks you do help
your combo.
BONLESS AND NO COMPLIES
These tricks make the skaters go off the board with one foot and push
themselves up. To do these tricks, press the up button a certain amount
of times (one for no comply, twice for boneless) and then press the X
button to jump. This will do a no comply or boneless. These are used to
get more speed, or just more points in a combo.
REVERTS
The most valuable trick in the game, in my opinion. A revert is kind of
like a switch, but just when you land on a vert ramp. A revert changes
the board stance when you land, and is great for keeping alive big
combos. Revert into a manual to get a big score and keep your combo
going.
SPECIAL TRICKS
There are a whole host of special tricks you can do in Underground.
Some are new, but a whole lot are old. Special tricks are designed to
look good, and to give you a lot of points. Select Edit Tricks from the
pause menu, and then go to specials. After you have all 11 spots, you
can have 11 specials. Choose them. For me, I have 3 Air Tricks, 3 Grab
Tricks, 2 Grinds, 2 Manuals and 1 Lip trick.
SPINE TRANSFERS AND ACID DROPS
Spine transfer is where you go from one vert ramp, and while in the
air, transfer to another vert ramp over a distance. Make sure two ramps
are in font of each other, then go up one vert ramp, and while in the
air press R2 to transfer. To acid drop, get on a ramp, then jump off
and press R2 while in the air (the first ramp has to be higher than the
vert ramp you are transferring to.)
WALL MANOUVERS
To firstly Wallride, go parallel to a wall, then angle into the wall
and press and hold the grind button. You will wallride the wall. Jump
while wallriding to do a wollie (wallride ollie) and get more points
and jump farther. To do a wallplant, head straight for the wall and
jump into it and press down plus x. To do a wall push, skate or manual
straight into a wall and hold the triangle button to push off of the
wall.
SKITCHING
This was new in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4. Skitching is where you hold on
to the back of something that moves (car, truck, dog, elephant) and let
it carry you. You do get points for this. To skitch, go up behind the
moving thing you want to skitch and press the up button. Balance using
left and right, and to get out of skitching, either press down, or
jump. Also, you can move sides while skitching by pressing L1 or R1 (L1
to move left, R1 to move right.)
=======================================================================
THE BASICS
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MODES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY MODE
Compete in a World Destruction tour. You go to 6 different
international cities, causing havoc along the way. The story is sorta
based off of Bam Margera and Jackass, and skating fans wont really like
the story mode. Story mode is packed with goals and the stat system is
similar to THUG.
CLASSIC MODE
Ready to go Old Skool? Classic mode is packed with 13 levels - 7 new
levels, and 6 old levels! You compete against a two-minute timer and
have 10 tasks to complete. The first 3 are all high scores, and the 4th
is a high combo. Most other goals are something like:
- Knock over, hit, collect 5 things
- Perform a trick over this gap
- Find the secret tape
- Collect SKATE
- Collect COMBO
HIGH SCORE/FREE SKATE
It starts off in Free Skate mode, where you can just cruise around the
level, look for gaps, look for secret areas and just have a great time
doing it. When in free skate mode, press start and go to "Start high
score run" to start the 2 minute timer and try to get a high score.
CREATE A PARK
Gives you the ability to create your own dream skate park. There is all
sorts of stuff you can choose from. There are some things that have
changed from THUG to THUG2 in the park editor, and you can see those
things in the create a park section.
CREATE A GOAL
This was an absolutely great new addition to THUG. THUG2 expands on
this. It gives you the ability to create your own goals, on any of the
14 levels, or your own skate park. Goals include SKATE letters, COMBO
letter, Race, Trick to the beat, Triktris, Skate Tricks, High score and
Gap.
CREATE A SKATER
Customize your skater - make him look how you want him to look. You can
change his shoes, his hat, his beard, face, glasses, socks, tattoos,
hat, hair and everything else, and even put your own face in the game
if you really want to.
CREATE A TRICK
I haven't used this yet, but I did in THUG. You can create your own
tricks, complete with grab tricks, flip tricks, rotations and all sorts
of other things. There are plenty of variables as well, and you can put
specials in it, and choose if it is holdable or spinable.
CREATE A GRAPHIC
Create a graphic mode lets you make your own graffiti tag. You have a
canvas, and you can make layers and put pictures on it. You can put
normal pictures, sponsor logos, weird shapes, backgrounds and also text
to create your own, personalized graffiti tag.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PRO SKATERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Hawk
---------
Depending on whose house you were checking, Tony Hawk's been a
household name for over twenty years. But it's really his last half-
decade of contest winning and 900 spinning that have tattooed HAWK on
the foreheads of our youth. A trailblazer in the effort to bring
skateboarding to the ends of the world, Tony has become an icon for a
generation of kids sorely needed one. Through the invention of
countless tricks, his seemingly limitless potential, and a sense of
grace and class that follows behind his quickly moving self, Tony Hawk
soars.
Eric Koston
-----------
The clean bean ideal of an Everyskater, Eric Kosten has quietly became
skateboarding's most influential front-row cheerleader for the Los
Angelas Laders. Tirelessly supporting his home team to a domination NBA
Championship two peat, Eric, has also managed to evolve his smooth,
consistent, and innovative skateboarding skills to the point that young
fans everywhere are abandoning their dreams of crossovers and three
pointers in hopes of someday nailing fifteen-stair backside noseblunt
slides, "Just like Kosten"
Rodney Mulen
------------
Rodney Mullen birthed today's street tech. Period. An icon among idols,
he's the man who freestyled many of the moves today's freshest pros use
as a foundation for their own progressive skating. Flat ground ollies,
360 flips, and ollie impossibles were all made manifest by the critical
thought and problem solving of this tenured Proof of skateboard
conceptualism.
Chad Muska
----------
With a nod to the past manifested in Muska Style, be it his deck
designs or his daring 'dos, this heroic skater proudly represents
today's new breed of renaissance professional skateboarders. This
customized sled shredder is known not only for his breathtaking leaps
and bounds on board, but his other-level self promotion - demoning,
music making, and palm pressing like the tireless public figure he's
built himself up to into. Still, Muska has and always will be respected
for fearlessly testing the physical bounds of real deal street skating
with the best very of them.
Bam Magera
----------
Bam Margera is both lightning bolt and lightning rod -- snapping necks
with his unrestrained Pennsylvania-grown skate style, and harnessing
the energy of his own massive discharge by video taping literally every
waking moment of his practical-joker lifestyle. For skaters, he's a
hilariously talented breath of fresh air in the form of seriously non-
serious, and for the nest of the planet who know him simply as "The
jackass who skates," he's the bad example that everyone wants to follow

OFF YOUR BOARD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, to get off of your board, press the L1 + R1 buttons. If you
are confused by that press the L1 and the R1 buttons at the same time.
There is no need to hold them down. Now you are off of your board, you
can explore on foot. To get back on your board, press the same buttons
again.
Movement off your board is kind of the same as movement on your board.
Although, when you are on your board, you will automatically move
forward, because the board is taking you forward. Off your board, you
need to actually hold the up button (analog or d-pad) to head up. So
hold up to move forward.
Off the board it is better to run around, than to slowly walk around.
If you are using the D-pad, and want to run, hold down the X button.
Let it go and you will jump. If you decide to use the Analog stick and
push it all the way up, you will run forward automatically. If you want
to walk using the analog stick, then move it up only a bit. The more
you move it up, the faster you walk. You don't need to hold X when
using the analog stick to run.
Climbing ledges can get you to places than you can't get to on your
board (or maybe you can get to the place on your board, but it is just
a lot easier off your board.) To climb a ledge, press the R1 button by
the edge. Sometimes, it won't hang on to the ledge. What I do when I
jump is just to continuously press the R1 button while in the air so
you will always get the timing right and hand on to the ledge.
=======================================================================
NEW STUFF
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FOCUS MODE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Focus mode slows down the game and focuses on your board. A blurry
effect comes in, and focus mode just helps you out balancing your
tricks as well as making the tricks you do look good. All you can hear
is your skaters heartbeat, and nothing else, no music. The music stops
while you are in focus mode.
Focus mode helps you perform those big combos, because it is easier to
balance, meaning more trick time which means big scores. It is a must
in a big combos. Focus mode is limited though. You can only perform
focus for 15 seconds in one combo. Also, you cannot use it more than
three times in one combo. If you don't perform enough tricks, the focus
meter will drain down and not last the 15 seconds, but you can get more
points again and use it again, but no more than 3 times in the combo.
Also the 15 seconds is combines time as well.
Make sure you roughly know how long you are in focus mode for. You can
only use it for 15 seconds. I have this happen to me many times: ive
been in a manual or a grind, and ive been easily balancing, when focus
has suddenly cut out, and the balance meter is going nuts that I can't
control it beacuse it went from very easy to balance to extremely hard
in a split second, usually meaning I stack.
They could have fixed this by actually having a timer of how long you
have been in focus mode for, instead of doing what happened to me in
the above paragraph.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAFFITI TAGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Graffiti is new to Tony Hawks Underground 2, and I don't think I have
seen any game where you can graffiti in apart from this game. You can
make your own graffiti tag, or use the default one. The default
graffiti tag is the words Neversoft with a bunch of pictures and colour
in the background.
In story mode, each character has their own special graffiti tag, for
example, Bam Margera has the word "Bam" on his tag, as well as the Adio
sign, which I think sponsors him. Every character in story mode apart
from the ones using vehciles have graffiti tags, so you can tag using
Ben Franklin, the Shrimp Vendor and the Graffiti Artist, but not
someone like Paulie or Bigfoot.
Graffiti can be done on any wall, or even on a fence sometimes, or on a
vert ramp, although you probably wont fit the whole tag on it though.
When tags are done out of combos, they are quite small. Get in a combo,
and then get off of your board and perform a tag and it will be bigger.
If you have a big combo (something over about 15,000 maybe) then the
tag will be a lot bigger.
There is also a graphic editor in game, where you can make your own tag
up. You can put pictures on your tag, make layers, or write your own
text in there. For example, IGN made a sign saying something like "IGN
Rocks" and sprayed it on a wall. Truly great stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE NEW TRICKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TANTRUMS
When you stack, a tantrum meter may come up on screen. Rapidly press
the triangle button to perform a tantrum. These are good for afew
reasons, first of all, you can take the frustration out in the game,
instead of on your controller or the window if you happen to stack a
rather large combo. The second is that it gives you some points towards
your next combo. After you perform the tantrum (freak out) you have
about 3 seconds to get into a combo to incorporate those freak out
points into the next combo. There are many types of freak outs.
1st is where you simply kick the board away
2nd is where you pick up the board and throw it away
3rd is where you stomp on the board, causing it to break
4th is where you pick up the board and smash it against the ground
5th is where you snap the board over your head.
STICKER SLAP
If you have ever played Tony Hawks Underground, you will know the move
wallplant, where you stick your foot in the wall and push yourself off,
making you go in the opposite direction. Sticker slap is like that,
except you put down a sticker instead of your foot. So it does the same
thing as the wallplant. The sticker I have got to slap is a "2" from
the end of Tony Hawks Underground "2", and don't know how to change it.
NATAS SPIN
Spin something small with a pointy or flat top, like a pole, a fire
hydrant or a little post. Jump into it, and press triangle + R1. You
will spin around the top of said object. The more the meter is in the
middle, the faster you will spin round. The more to the left or right
the balance meter is, the slower you will go. Notice how the move is
not described in the instruction booklet? That's because you are
supposed to learn the move in story mode.
FLIPS AND ROLLS
In THPS1 - THPS4 I don't think there was even a way to do a backflip or
a roll, unless it was in a special. In Tony Hawks Underground you could
do a backflip or a roll if you make the trick using Create a trick.
Now, in THUG2 you don't even have to make your own trick to do flips or
a roll. To do a frontlip, hold down either circle or square, and press
up twice. To do a backflip, hold circle or square and press down twice.
To do a roll, hold either circle or square and press either left twice
or right twice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY MODE AND CLASSIC MODE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A few people didn't like the change from THPS3 to THPS4, where by
Neversoft got rid of the 2 minute timer and all the tasks given to you
straight away and instead placed skaters around the level, ans then you
go to them to get your goals. Personally I like the move, but as I said
some people weren't too keen on it. Back in Tony Hawks Underground 2 is
classic mode. The game gives you the opportunity to go classic in
levels, giving you ten goals and a two minute time limit.
Playing classic mode really made me think how much I missed it. Classic
mode is really too easy now. If you re even a reasonably skilled Tony
Hawk player, you can get past the first 4 objectives in each level in
just one combo! Classic mode really goes too quick as well, even though
there are 14 levels in classic mode! More than any other Tony Hawk
game.
Also, there are old school levels back, levels from previous Tony Hawk
games. If you are reading this and want to know what old levels are in
classic mode, then here is a list. From THPS1 there is the Warehouse
although it is renamed Training. Also from THPS1 is the School (one of
my favourites) and also Downhill jam. From THPS2 is Philadelphia. From
THPS3 is Canada, Los Angeles and the Airport.
In conclusion, classic mode is a great fun, but alot of the goals can
be too easy now because of the new moves you have got to do.
Now, onto the story mode. Story mode really disappoints me. It pits
Team Tony against Team Margera on a World Destruction Tour, where you
travel through 6 international cities scoring points for your team. You
can get the goals by going to the start menu and go view goals.
Different tasks get you different points. What really annoys me is the
game strays away from real skateboarding, and instead has you
performing all these non skateboarding goals. They really need to get
back to the basics of skateboarding, performing combo lines, high
scores, collecting COMBO and SKATE, etc.
There are plenty of goals to complete, and story mode is quite short,
but I'm sure it will keep you entertained long enough. Alot of people
don't like the story, and I can see why. It takes on a more Jackass
style with Bam Margera, Steve-O and weeman.
=======================================================================
THE GUIDE TO GETTING A HUGE SCORE
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This section will describe what tricks you can do, how to get a
bigscore, and everything else to do with tricks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCORING BIG (MASSIVE SCORE)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is how to get a massive score.
1. Find a halfpipe. A halfpipe is where two vert ramps are close to
each other, so that when you land off of one you will head towards
the next. The closer, the better.
2. Go up one side of the vert ramp (it doesn't matter which side) and
perform a grab trick and hold it. Any grab trick will do, like a
benihana, Melon, etc. Even better, do a sepcial.
3. Now, spin around the trick. This will give you even more
points. Keep on holding down the grab button while you are spinning.
You can spin with the D-Pad, analog stick, or L1 and R1.
4. Land doing a revert. To do a revert, just when you are about to land
back down on the Vert Ramp, press the R2 button, and you will
revert. This will keep the combo alive.
5. Perform a manual by pressing up, down or down, up. Manuals will link
from the revert, and keeps the combo going on. Now, go up the other
side of the vert ramp.
6. Do the same thing as number 2. Go up the vert ramp and perform a
grab trick, then spin it around. Once again, land using a revert and
a manual.
7. When you just have enough speed to reach the next halfpipe, perform
a lip trick, and hold it for as long as possible. You will get more
points from this than going up the vert ramp with no speed.
8. When performing the lip trick, change the trick while you are doing
it by pressing different combos, like square, square. Experiment to
find different ones.
9. Land the lip trick using a revert and a manual. No perform some
flatland. Perform different tricks by pressing different
combinations, like circle, circle to perform a flatland trick. Press
square, square to do a flip trick of the current trick.
10. When your balance meter is going crazy and you don't think you can
hold it any more, press L1 + R1 to get off of your board. Now, run
and find a grinding place before the meter runs out.
11. Your grinding meter will be at the middle, so you can easily get
about 10 seconds worth of grinding in. While grinding, change
positions, just like the lip trick to get the multiplier up.
12. Now to incorporate focus to our combo. While grinding, you will
eventually come to the end of the line, so now use focus (L3) This
will slow time down.
13. Land the trick, and your score should be huge. Just don't bail, or
you will ruin a great combo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LINKING TRICKS TOGETHER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To link tricks together, use manuals. Lets say you grind a rail, and
when you jump off, you want to keep the combo alive. You need to
perform a manual. To do a manual, just as you are about to hit the
ground, press up, down, or down, up. This will go into a manual, and
you can take the manual to another grinding location (or a halfpipe,
etc.) and your combo will keep on getting better.
To link vert tricks, and to keep them in a combo, when you land, press
the R2 button to revert. This is like a switch just as you land on the
vert ramp. While you are reverting, press up, down to get into a
manual, and find somewhere else to trick to get lots of points. I
always revert, every vert trick I do lands in a revert, and sometimes a
manual if I want a big combo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCORE MULTIPLYER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first score is your total points together, and as you to tricks,
the multiplier will go up, meaning more points. You get a x 1 for every
trick in the combo you do. For example, doing one of these will get you
plus one (these are quick methods, a special, for example, wont be
counted as that takes ages to do.)
. A simple kick flip
. A simple grab trick
. No complies, bonless
. Reverts
. Manuals
. Lip tricks
. Changing positions
Here is an example.
You perform a heelfip. Total score: 200
You perform a kickflip. Total score 400 x 2
You perform a heelflip again. Total score 560 x 3
(note that when you perform a trick again, it decreases in value.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGING POSITIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change your position (trick) while you are grinding, lip
tricking, and manualling. To change your position, press a different
combo. Like for example, while you are manualling, press circle, circle
to perform a handstand. This will give you more points, and you can
even press square, square to do a flip of the trick. This can't be done
with Lips and Grinds (the flipping section that is.)
With lip tricks, you can do the same; input different combos (like
square, square) to go into a different trick while still lip tricking.
This can be good to get your multiplier up, and not lose points by
doing the same lip trick (because you changed.) Performing these will
hurt your balance though, so don't bail.
With grind tricks, once again different combos can be inputted to get
different grinding styles. This will change your position to give you
more points, and get the Multiplier up. It will hurt your balance, like
the lip tricks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LANDINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CLEAN
A clean landing is where you board lands perfectly on the ground, not
even at little but off to the side, but perfectly staright. This will
give you an extra 1000 points into the combo you are currently doing.
NORMAL
The most common landing you will get. This is when you land your board
slightly off line, not good enough to be a perfect, but not bad enough
to be a sketchy landing, this will probably happen 1/2 of your
landings. Still, you should strife for perfect, but when doing spin
tricks, it is easier to just keep spinning and landing normal than to
try and line it up perectly.
SLOPPY
This happens when you land slightly on the side, or like that. The
landing is not good enough to be normal, but not bad enough to be a
complete failure and you stack it. But this is nearly stack, and you
will lose 500 points off of your combo score.
STACK
This can commonly happen, you landed sideways, or you didn't finish the
trick before you tried to land. You will lose all your points that you
created in the air, and you will fall down. Press buttons to get back
up quicker.

GET THE SECRET TAPE - Time to go balcony climbing! Head towards the
street. Go towards the fountain end of the street. Go up the vert ramp,
and get off your board while in mid air and hang on to a ledge. Now,
climb your way up. If you find that you can't climb up and are hitting
the ledge above you, walk to the edge of the of the ledge you are
curretly on, and hang down, then get back up and jump and hang on to
the next edge. Keep going up, and on your right will be the secret tape
at the very top.
BUST ALL 5 YELLOW STREET LAMPS - You will need good air stats for this
one. The best thing to do is to go into your stats, and take points
away from everything else apart from air and speed. You will need about
14 or so points. Deduct the 14 points from somewhere, and put those
stats on Air and Speed, so air and speed will be full. Now, get to the
crane. To the left of the crane will be a bus stop. Use the ramp of the
bus stop to launch up and grind the wire that has all 5 lamps on it.
Grind through them to destroy them. Oce you do the goal, you can just
put the stat points back where you got them from, so all is back to
normal again.

There is a pretty good line that goes through the airport, I always
used to use it in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 as well. It just goes from
one rail to the other of the escualtor ones (the ones on the straight
ground) then onto the rails going down the slope, onto the next rails
down below. Also there are the lights, you can transfer between them.
Lots of good lines to get big scores.

of suitcases is on the left boxes.
MANUAL THE ESCULATOR SLOPE
Easy goal. Manual down the slope (esculator.) It's not even a long
slope, so balancing is quite easy.
NOSEGRAB OVER THE CHOPTER
From the start of the level, jump over the counter, and go through the
xray machine. Use the ramp in front of you to transfer over the
helichopter. You will need good air and speed stats, so take them off
of lip or whatever, and change them back afterwards. To make this goal
count, perform a nosegrab (up, circle) over the helichopter, plus you
have to get the gap called helichopter hop.

perform some vert tricks, revert into a manual and go up the over side.
These scores are quite easy to get.

kicker, grind the Qp heading left, let the kicker take you up and
grind the high rail. Wallride by the corner to grab the skateboard.
5 - Get to the back of the warehouse. Use the left Qp by the hole in
the wall to launch up and grind the high up rail. Grind through the
hole in the wall up here to grab the last skateboard.

The easiest place I have found to do all of these is on the tea boat.
See my tips on how to get a big score if you don't know how to get big
scores all ready. Equip some specials, go up one side, perform speical
or a grab trick and spin it, revert into a manual and go up the other
side. Once again, revert into a manual and then repeat. Once you lose
speed, then do flatland tricks.
COLLECT SKATE
S - Get to the building where Ben Franklin was in story mode. If you
haven't got him in story mode yet, then head down the street from
the start, and the building is on the left. Grind the rail that is
just outside the building, and on top of the entrance is the S.
K - Get to the bank. In the area near the bank is a ledge, grind the
ledge around, jump off of the ledge and grab the K.
A - From where you got the K, head down the street towards the
hospital. Go to the left of the volcano spines. Transfer up using
the ramp and grab the A.
T - Get to the construction area. On the very right side of it are some
planks of wood. Hip transfer over the planks of wood to grab the T.
E - In the apartments area, the open area across from the park. From
the start, head right down the street and in the open area that is
on your right.
COLLECT COMBO
Jump onto the rail just before the fire hydrant. Jump and grab the C.
Now jump onto the next rail and that will launch you onto the bus stop.
Grind the top and jump off at the end to grab the O. Land in a manual
and then jump and land in a manual again to keep your speed so you can
do the next transfer with speed. Transfer from the Tony Hawk picture
vert ramp to the right to grab the M. Revert into a manual. Now grind
the rail by the steps by the hospital, and jump to the right to grab
the B. Head towards the construction area and grind the top vert ramp,
and at the end will be the O.
SMASH 5 TEA BARRELS
1 - On the boat near the construction area. Spine transfer to get into
the boat. You can't miss the tea barrel once you are in there.
2 - By the 4 benches that you had to grind in story mode. They are just
by the park.
3 - By the kids museum area. From the start, look to your right, and
then right again. Go up the stairs to see the tea barrel.
4 - Get to the library. Transfer from the left vert ramp of the library
up to the raised up halfpipe, and the tea barrel is on here.
5 - Get to the bank. The final tea barrel is on top of the subway
spine.
GET THE SECRET TAPE
Head to the bank. Go up the vert ramp that is on the right side of the
picture of Tony Hawk. Get off your board and hang on and climb up so
you are in a area with stairs. There is a rail heading towards the
church. Grind this rail. You will need to keep your speed up, which
means you should keep on jumping to you get good enough speed. Now just
keep grinding and you will get the tape by the church.
BACKFLIP DOWN THE COMMON STAIRS
I have only done this once, and it was complete luck. You need to have
great speed, and great air stats to do this. I have had by stats on
full air before, and still haven't been able to complete this goal.
What I remember from when I did do it is grind the rail from the ben
franklin building towards the park, and bonelessing and performing a
backflip down the common stairs.
GRIND THE 5 PIGEON RAILS
1 - Grind the fence by the tea boat, the one that you have to spine
transfer over to get into the tea boat.
2 - The fence by the bank, it is the fence near the ledge you had to
grind when you got the K in skate.
3 - Grind the rail outside the Ben Franklin building by the fire
hydrant.
4 - The high musem rail. Come from jeers towards the start, and on the
left grind the rail going up the steps, then wallride and grind the
high rail.
5 - Get to the park, then end by the construction area. In between two
trees at this end of the park is a wire, grab on to the wire, and
grind it.

BOSTON
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIND THE SPECIAL GUEST
From the start of the level, just go forward, now look back to see a
ramp foing down to a bar. Follow the ramp down to the bar, and go
inside the building and you will find the special guest, who rides
around on a cool scooter type thing. One you switch to him you get some
more objectives.
FIND BEN FRANKLIN
If you go to start and view goals, you can see the picture of the front
of te building that Ben Franklin is in. From the start, head forward
along the road and on the left you will see a building with grass and
statues on the front. Now either head to the left or the right, and use
the ramp closest to the building, go up it and get off your board and
you will smash inside the building. Now follow ben franklin out, speak
to him and you will get another set of objectives.
MARK YOUR TERRITORY
Tag one - near the building where you find ben franklin, on the right
hand side near the halfpipe.
Tag two - go to the park area. In the corner of the level, just by the
docks area and the opposite side of the level from the hopsital by a
post no bills sign on the wall.

of the hospital to find the fifth tag.
HOSPITAL DUTY
Head towards the hospital. It is all the way on the other side of the
level from where you start. Go up to the stretcher and press circle.
Hold down X and you will go faster. Move forward at the start - if you
move left or right you will run into a guard and have to start over. Go
across the road, through the alley and to the right. Stay on the
opposite side of the guard and you should be right. Now head left, and
once again stay on the opposite side that the guard is on. Keep going
forward to get to tony hawk.
ARCADE MACHINE HIGH SOCRE
The Arcade Machine is right at the start, go left and press cricle.
Just bust afew easy combos using whatever you can find around the city,
it's pretty easy beacuse the score is very low. You have one minute. If
your in a hurry, after you beat the high score, you can just hit end
goal to get on with the other goals.
DANCE SUCKA
The stereo to start this mission is just by the park. Press cricle to
activate it, and then listen for the loud beat - that is when you want
to perform your trick. The trick is displayed down the bottom of the
screen. Listen for the pattern and perform the trick - you will get the
idea soon enough.
DECAPITATE THE STATUES
First, get to the building where you found ben franklin. To the left
and right of the steps are vert ramps. Go up one vert ramp, and spine
trasnfer over the steps. This should get the statue closest to where
you landed. Repeat the same process to get the second statue. Next,
head over to the park, and natas spin the head of the washington
statue. Goal complete.
COMBO THE RV RAMP
First you must get rid of the grind blockers with Jesse James before
you can get the RV ramp. See later on it in the walkthrough for how to
do the grind blocker objective. Once you do get the RV ramp to come
out, perform a 5,000 point combo on it. Pretty easy.
COMBO THE BENCHES
The Benches are on the side of the boston park. There are 4 in a row of
them. Once you find them, grind one side, and hold down triangle and
you will grind the second bench without jumping. Now, jump to the next
set of benches and then grind those two. Remeber to hold triangle
between the benches to grind the second one.
YE OLD CANNON GRIND
The cannons are located by the right side of the park. Head over there
are you will see a garbage can on fire. Go over it, and then grind the
cannons. You will now get a little cut-scene.
SKITCH A SEAWORTHY VEHICLE
There is a car travelling around boston that looks like a boat. Find
the car driving around the roads, and then press up at the back of it
to skitch it. Now just hang on until the timer counts down. It's pretty
easy to hand on for that amount of time.
SALUTE THE GENERAL
In the boston park, you will find a statue of washington. Go up one
side of the ramp, and then spine transfer over the statue and perform a
benihana down-right plus circle.
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
Find that trash can that is on fire by the park. Go over it to get
yourself on fire, and while you are on fire, perform a 15,000 point
combo. There are plenty of lines you can use to get the combo - it's
easy.
SLAP THE SIGNS
1 - Head towards the bank. There is a raised up ledge, grind this to
the left. Jump off at the end and sticker slap it.
2 - At the building where ben franklin is
3 - Get to the construction area, and grind the top of the vert ramp to
the left. Jump off at the end and sticker slap the sign.
4 - On scaffolding of the raised up HP
TAG THE BILLBOARD
Okay, get towards the area with the boat. You will see a big yellow
hose. Run up to it and climb up the hose. Keep going up, until you see
a place to jump of. Jump up to the next platform and then to the
billboard. Press triangle to tag it and get a cut-scene.
FINEST RAILS IN BOSTON
Grind that wierd looking rail near the bank and paulie. There is a guy
standing next to the rail, talk to him and he will say about the rail.
Grind it, and a timer will start. Head down the road and grind the rail
in front of jeers, then the museum rail just to the left.
ALL ABOUT THE BEJAMINS
First, find the building where you found bejamin franklin. Now head
forward and on your left will be a building - that is the bank. Head
around the corner and you will see a window that looks different from
the others. You can break in there. Climb up to the rail, which can be
done from around the corner, then break through the window. Goal
complete.
COMBO ON THE HIGH SEAS
The high seas is the ship in the docks area. Spine transfer to get onto
it and bust out a combo high enough to complete the challenge.
SKATE THE LIBERTY TRAIL
Perform the flip trick down the stairs to start off with. Now head down
the street to the library. Use the vert ramps on the left to transfer
over the mural. Now, head to the construction area on your left and
spine transfer into the ship. Now, head left and climb up to the top,
and acid drop off into the boat.
TEAM CHALLENGE
3 team members must perform a kikclip over an inline skater. With you,
head towards the park, find the inline skater (he travels around the
outside on rollerskates) and perform a kickflip over the top of him.
Now do the same thing with ben franklin and the pro skater. You cannot
use Jesse James for this mission, as he cannot do a kickflip.
KILL THE GRIND BLOCKERS
First get Jesse James (see the very first goal on how to do that.)
Change to him and then head over to the hospital. Grind the grind
blockers of the ledge by the guy.
JUMP THE CARS
Find the small cars that are driving around the city, and perform a hop
three times over the cars. Try to jump over the cars when they are
heading towards you. If they are going the same way as you, then you
probably wont make it over, or you could just jump them from the side.
It's pretty hard to jump over the seaworthy vehicle.
SCOOTER VS WHEELCHAIR
First, be Jessse James. Now, head over to the bank area to find paulie.
Talk to him. Now, head right to the steps, and then to the library
which is just ahead. Take the road to the left and go to the hospital
and then back to the start. Get there first and win. Hold down the X
button to go alot faster which will give you an advantage.
SPINE TRANSFER TOUR
First, spine transfer over the subway. The subway spines can be found
by the park, and im not sure if you can use the one near where paulie
is. Once you transfer over that, a timer comes up. Get to the hospital
and spine transfer over the hopspital volcao. Next, get to the tea boat
and spine transfer into it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BARCELONA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FREE THE BULLFIGHTER
Head backwards from the start, and on the left will be a tomato crate.
Take some tomatos. Now, head the oposite way, and head forward. When
you reach the guell area, head right and go forward and throw a tomato
at the bull to release the bul and save the bullfighter.
FIND THE SPECIAL GUEST
Find open doors across from the guell area. This will take you into a
building. Walk forward to find steve-o riding on a bull.
HIT 5 PEDS WITH TOMATOS
Tomatos can be found just off the street, or there is another crate if
you keep heading forward from the arcade machine, by the grass area.
While you have the tomatos, find 5 pedestrians and press square when
you are near them to throw the tomato at them. You cannot hit the same
pedestrian twice.
SPINE THE GUELL PLANTERS
The Guell area is straight ahead from the start, and to the right. Keep
going forward. Now, on the left and right are platners. There are three
spine transfers you have to do here. Fairly easy.
HELP PEG LEG
First, get to the street (turn around from the start) head to the
street area just beside the arcade machine and the water. Grind the
ledge just by the water, and then transfer over the water and grind the
netting. Hold your balance until you get around to where the boat is
caught in the netting and the goal is complete.
MARK YOUR TERRITORY
1 - Get to where the arcade machine is. Now grind the rail heading away
from the street. Grind the next rail, and jump off at the end and
sticker slap the wall. This will take you to the higher level. Up
here is a spat mark.
2 - On the bircks in the Guell platner area, on the right when you are
looking away from the street.
3 - Get to the hospital. From the start, head forward, and the hospital
is just in front of you. Go up the vert ramp, heading right, then
get off your board and shimmy to the right. While shimmying, spray
over the tag.
4 - On the wall in the alley, under the big billboard on the ground.
5 - Near the mamo building, on the window
TAKE OUT THE TRASH
What you have to do is grind the trash cans. There are four around the
level, and they are all easy to get. While skating around, I'm sure you
will find them, they are really hard to miss.
ARACADE MACHINE HIGH SCORE
Turn left from the start and head forward to find the arcade machine.
It's just by the street next to a wall. Press circle to play, and all
you have to do is beat the easy high score. There are afew combo lines
throughout the city, but it's easy to just go up a vert ramp, and
perform some tricks, revert and manual and perform some flatland.
COMBO THE SANTOS BENCHES
The benches are just by you at the start. You will see a bunch of
benches - you have to grind all of these in one combo, which is easy
since they are all right next to each other. Head to one end, and all
you have to do is hold down triangle and keep your balance, you wont
need to jump at all since they are so close together.
CATAPULT 720 GRAB
Turn around from the start, and go forward, then look across the
street. You will see an opening in a building. GO through the building
and you will be taken to a catpault. Perform a grab trick and do 2 full
rotations while holding the grab trick. The grab trick you perform
doesn't matter.
TAG THE BILLBOARD
There are multiple ways to do this, but ill only tell you one way. From
the start, ride forward, turn right at the grass area and then turn
right into an alleyway, where you will see a vert ramp straight ahead
of you. Spine transfer over it, and then spine transfer over the next
ramp so that you are on the roof. Remember this spot, because another
goal is performed here. Now, turn back around and spine transfer over
the ramps, and you will go flying high into the air. The third spine
transfer you do will have you going right by the billboard. Get off
your board and climb up to the billboard.
FOCUS COMBOS
Too easy, just get into focus and perform 3 combos, all at least 2,500
points each. Press L3 to get into focus. Going up a vert ramp and
performing afew tricks is more than enough. Perform 3 combos over the
score and goal complete.
RAIL RATED CHALLENGE
Before doing this challenge, make sure you have your air stats at least
at a reasonable level, otherwise it may be hard to do this challenge.
Head to where the arcade machine is, just by the street next to a wall.
Now, grind the rail going paralell to the wall. Grind it to the
opposite way of the arcade machine. Once the rail ends, jump off and
perform a sticker slap on the wall, and then you will be sent high, now
grind the top rail and challenge complete.
TRANSFER OVER THE GUELL ENTRANCE
This may look hard, but it really isn't. The entrance to the guell does
look quite hard to transfer across. There is no way you can just go up
the QP without speed and make it across, thats why you need speed. Head
to the guell area, and to the right side of the entrance. Use the Qp's
to spine transfer up as far as you can go. Now, spine transfer back
down. This will give you tons of speed and air. When you reach the
final Quarter Pipe that you need to transfer over the entrance, angle
to the right abit, and boneless. Hit the other QP on the other side.
Sometimes you might get a bit too much air, just try again.
ACID DROP OFF OF A TRAM
First, you need to get on a tram. Head forward from the start to the
guell area. Keep going forward and through the gap and you will put at
the top of the tram. Wait until a tram comes past you, get off of your
board and then jump onto a tram. Wait until it goes over a QP and then
press acid drop to drop off. Make sure you get it right, it may take
afew times to judge if it is going over a QP.
TEAM CHALLENGE
4 members of your team must get knocked into the air by the bull and
perform a 5,000 point combo. Let the bull lose first by throwing a
tomato at it. Now, find where the bull is and race towards him. Get hit
into the air, perform a small trick (something like a double kickflip)
land in a manual and perform some flatland tricks, or grind or do
anything to get over the 5,000 point mark. Do this with all 4 people.
Steve-O cannot flatland, so find a place to grind with him.
LA PEREDA SPIRAL RAIL
Quite an easy challenge even if your grind stats are not that good. The
rail is just opposite the guell area. Climb to the roof, or use the
Vert ramps to get up there, then grind the rail that goes down to the
ground through the building. It isn't very long. grind it all the way
down and balance.
SMELLS LIKE BULL DUNG
Just follow the raging bull going around the city (if he isn't free,
find some tomatos and throw one at him in the cage) and he will leave a
trail of bull dung. Launch off of one and perform a grab trick. Easy.
MAKE YOUR OWN PHOENIX
Set the bull free first, this will cause a car to crash. Get to that
car, and jump over the car, this will set your board on fire. Now, go
through the opening across the street from the car. This will catapult
you into the air. If you got enough air, you will put the birds on
fire, completing the challenge.
DONT TOUCH THE GROUND
Turn around from the start, and then grind the little ledge going up on
the left, and then transfer over to the wavy ledge. Grind that, and
then transfer over to the other ledge, and grind that along. Just keep
grinding everything along the bridge and don't touch it. Get to the
other side.
STEVE-O VS THE BULL
Set the bull free. Now find a path where the bull goes. Wait for the
bull to come along, then hold down X and go straight at the bull. If
you have enough speed, then you will complete the goal.
PARE GUELL COMBO
Go to the guell area which is straight ahead from the start. Now
perform a 25,000 point combo while in this area. Just go up a vert
ramp, perform a trick, come back down, revert and manual and go up the
other side. All you need to do is get a 25,000 point combo in the area.
YEE HAW FAN BOOST
Go forward from the start, head right and then right agai into the
alleyway. Spine transfer up, and the up again to the roof (press R2 to
spine transfer.) Now turn around and spine transfer down. Spine
transfer down again and you should be getting some good air. Spine
transfer up, and then you will be at the fan. Press X on the fan to get
a launch, and perss any directional button plus grab to perform a yee
haw grab. Now acid drop into the vert ramp to complete the mission.
FLIP BARCELONAS FINEST
First is the benches near the arcade machine, perform a flip trick off
one of those. Next, go to the oppsoite end of the street, go up the
ramp and turn around. Perofmr a flip of the edge. Now go to the other
end of the bridge, and you will see some bumps and a little rail fence.
Flip trick over that.

zones off. Look to the left to find the sign. Lip trick it or grind it.
From the first sign, head down the street in the direction of the
church. Head left into the area before the street, and on the building
will be the second sign. Smash it.
FREE THE SPIRITS
Get to the bombed out church. Head left from the start and then take
the road right and it will be right in front of you. Remeber the
location of the church, I will be using it for how to get to other
locations as well. Spine transfer into the church, and on the right
will be a cracked wall. Sticker plant the wall twice to make it break
and free the spirits.
FIND THE SPECIAL GUEST
The special guest is Paulie, who is on top of a building. Get to the
church. Next to the church will be afew ramps and a building. Spine
trasfer up, and then spine transfer again around the corner and get off
your board and climb to the roof, where Paulie is.
HELP WEE MAN
From the start of the level, head around the aufarht area, and keep
going forward, and across the street. Wee man will be just by the
glass. What you have to do is sticker slap the glass two times to make
it break. Get a run up, then jump into the glass and press X twice. The
glass should break.
STOP THE KIDS FROM SMOKING
1 - In the Aufarht section, ahead from the start, look to your left
2 - By the ownzed letters, across from them is the second dispenser.
3 - Near where the second inliners rule statue is, close to the street
ARACE MACHINE HIGH SCORE
From the start of the level just go down the stiars, and on your left
will be the arcade machine. You should know the drill by now, just beat
the easy high score on the machine.
FIND THE GRAFFITI TAGGER
Start from the church, and head down the road going the opposite way to
the church. Now, just before you reach the very end of the road, go
right to see some drunks. Use the vert ramp on the right to get op onto
the building, now use the ladder on the left to climb all the way to
the top of the building. There will be some spray cans here and the
graffiti tagger.
BERLIN GETS OWNED
You have to remove the letters of the sign so that all it says is
owned. What you need to do is grind the letters off. What you can do is
grind along the ledge that has the spat sign on it (just behind you
when you start the level) and then transfer up onto the rails just
before it and then grind along the letters.
GRIND N BARF
First rent a cop is straight ahead from the start. Go up the vert ramp
and perform the trick. The other one is where you find the pro skater.
Do the trick above here as well.
ALMIGHTY COMBO
First, get to the church. If you don't know how to get to the bombed
out church, follow my instructions in the first goal. Now all you have
to do is get a 40,000 point combo in the church. Just perform some
tricks, revert into a manual and perform more tricks.
LEARN THE NATAS SPIN
I don't actually know where the guy is that you have to talk to, but
just go up to one of the fire hydrants on the street or anything else
you can find with a pointy top and press triangle plus L1 or R1 to
perform the Natas spin. Perform it three times to complete the goal.
HATS ON FIRE
By the church is a little ditch with a pipe going through it. Start
from the church and then grind the pipe. Once at the other end, your
board should be on fire. Now around this area are 3 cops. Jump over
them (it doesn't have to be in a combo, just while your board is on
fire) and they will be put on fire. They are walking around this area,
so find them and jump over them while on fire.
SO FOCUSED, SO CLEAN
Perform 3 clean 10,000 point combos. Clean means a perfect landing. You
don't actually have to get the clean when you land out of the combo,
but anytime in the combo, for example, you can spin around a kickflip
and land in a manual and still get clean. You must get 10,000 in a
combo and at least one clean message for it to count. As i said, to get
"clean" perform at least a 180 spin and land perfectly. Do this three
times and make sure you get over 10,000 points. Flatlands enough to get
over that score.
TOURSIT LINE
From the start of the level, head around the ausfarht level and to

then to the stairs. Jump off the stairs when they end, go up the vert
ramp and grind to the left, so you are heading towards the sign.
Sticker slap the sign, so that you will now be grinding the other way.
Jump off at the end and acid drop into the vert ramp near where the pro
skater is found. Make sure it is done in one combo.
DISRUPT COMMUNICATIONS
From the start of the level, head left and go up the vert ramp on your
right. Get off your board and hop onto the ledge above. Walk around the
corner and go up the next vert ramp, get off your board again and you
should be at the top of the building. Look right to see a vent blowing
up. Head towards the vent and press X on it to get really high air.
Acid drop onto the ramp across the road, and go up the other side of
the ramp, angle to the left and perform a rocket air (up, circle,
circle) and do the transfer. Don't overshoot it or undershoot it, it
may take afew tries to get perfect.

will require about 6 tags, one on each piece. This will bring back the
mural.
BERLIN TOUR
Get to where paulie is. By him are some stairs. Grind the stairs so
that you are going away from the church. The first time I done it, I
grinded towards the church and had no idea what I had to do! Anyway,
grind the steps, jump off and manual, go up the ramp and grind the
planter. Now, grind the QP so that you are going to the left. Jump off
and grind the high ledge, then the fountain to complete the goal.
WHEELIN COMBO
You need to get a small combo score using paulie in his wheelchair. The
harder the difficulty, the higher it is. 100,000 for sick mode, but
only about 5,000 for easy mode. Just grind around the circle, jump off
when your balacne gets bad, land in a wheelie, and do some hops. This
should get it easy.
SKILLZ ON WHEELS
From the start, head left along the road. Go up the vert ramp on your
right just as the street ends. Press R2 to get up. Now, go around the
corner. Be careful not to fall off or you will have to get back up
there again. Once around the corner, you will see a ramp on your left.
Jump off the ramp and perform the flip and acid drop onto the ramp on
the other side of the street.
TEAM CHALLENGE
First, you must get a big air combo while inside the church. This is
easily done. Equip the Indy 900 special trick, and go up the vert ramp
and perform the trick. Thats you part done. Now, play as paulie. Get to
the place near where wee man is, and go around the circle however many
times it tells you to. Finally, play as Bam Margera. By the church are
some cones. Start by going up the vert ramp between the buildig where
you find paulie and the church. Land, and this will give you speed.
Manual through the cones, then go down the street. Balance, and on the
right just off the street near gretchens bar are another set of cones.
Manual through them. If you have trouble balacing, use focus. If you
need speed, use the spacewalk manouver (left, right, square).

then the crane will knock down a wall. Go through the wall and into the
outback tours area, to find the special guest.
DRAIN THE TIDE POOL
By the beach is a pool. Above the pool is a rail. Grind the rail above
the pool, and you will grind the drainer, which will drain the pool,
and complete the goal.
INTERRUPT A MEAL OR SIX
Use the bus stop or the crane to launch up onto the balcony. While you
are up on the balcony, hit over 6 tables up here. Nothing too hard.
There are not secret ones or anything, they are just all in a row.
FIND THE SHRIMP VENDOR
He's down by the beach. Find the left toilets area, he is just there,
and will run through the toilets. Follow him, and the goal is complete.

spin for about 4 seconds and the goal is complete.
JUMPING WITHOUT A PARACHUTE
This will require a fair amount of climbing. Ge to the crane. By the
crane is some balconies. Head left and use the ladders on the set of
balconies to reach the very top. Now, grind the last balcony heading

FOCUSING ON A CLEAN DOUBLE FLIP (180 DOUBLE KICKFLIP)
Find the cars in the parking lot near TC's place and just by the
street. Get speed from one of the vert ramps, come back down, make sure
that you have special and press L3 to get into focus. Once you're in
focus, jump over the cars, and perform a double kickflip with a 180
spin. You have to land it clean for it to count, which means perfectly
straight. If you can't get enough air to clear the car, try bonlessing.
It may take afew tries to get it clean.
KENNY'S REAL FEELINGS
Easy. All you have to do is natas spin Kenny's fingers. Get to the
fountain, and Kenny is in the middle of fountain by the crane. use the
fountain to launch up onto his fingers. Press R1 + triangle to natas
spin his fingers.
TEAM CHALLENGE
Everyone my grind Tc's awning. They say it is harder than it looks, but
it isn't TC's awning is inbetween the bowl and the parking lot. Use the
ramp to jump up and grind TC's awning. Do this with the pro skater,
yourself and the shrimp vendor.
EVERYBODY LOVES BIGGUNS
A hard one - make sue that you have good air and speed stats for this.
You need to transfer from the ramp just by TC's awning to the ramp down
near the bowl. From Tc's, look to see a vert ramp just by the edge. use
this and transfer to the right. You should pass over a middle ramp and
land on the one over the middle ramp. This can take quite some time,
and you will need to angle it correctly and get good speed and air.
BALANCE UP AND OVER
You need to manual up and over the little bridge by the parking lot
and the street. Get to the cars and hold down X so you crouch and get
speed. Now, see the bridge? You need to manual up and over it. The
first slope will be steep, but once you get over that, it should be
easy. If you can't get up the steep slope, trying getting speed first.
SHRIMP SLAP
Find shrimp down enar the beach. Once you have it, you need to throw it
at 5 of the lifeguards. Two are walking around on the beach. Once is
dancing or something in front of a girl, and another is walking around.
The other three are just off the beach, one is by the big round thing,
and the other two are to the left and right of that.
ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN
Perform the special Rotiserie twice between the two buildings. Head
across the street from Tc's to find the building you will be launching
from. Get up there by climbing or using the ramps. Once up there, spine
transfer, and spine transfer again. Once you get to the ramp, press
jump to get an extra launch and perform the rotisserie twice. If your
having trouble performing the rotisserie, change it's special to
something easy (like up, down, circle) instead of the default way. It's
alot easier. Perform two of them and land it to complete the goal.
SEAGUL SCATTER
This is one long continuous combo. Start off by climbing up the wires
on the beach. Grind towards the boal to scare off afew seagulls. Once
you get to the bowl you wil scare some more seaguls. Now transfer onto
the boardwalk railing, and jump across to the next rail and the next
rail. That should of scared enough of them.
REAL MEN FLIP STAIRS (clean 360 double heelflip)
A toughie. The stairs are by the Bowl and Tc's place. Get speed and get
focused before the stairs. Now, jump down the stairs and perform a
double heelflip and do a full rotation (360 degrees) and land it
cleanly. Cleanly means straight. You will get a message saying "Clean"
if it's done right. May take afew try's.

paradise area, and grind all of the outside edges in one combo. Just
grind and jump when you get to a gap and then grind again.
MINI GO KART BLAST OFF
Easy challenge. Get to the parking lot in your mini go kart. Now, you
have to go over the bridge and perform a 540 spin. Get speed, and angle
to the left or the right (whichever way the bridge is) and you should
easily clear it. Now just use the directional buttons or L1 and R1 to
perform a 540 spin. If it is more than a 540 spin it will still count.
HELP LOCAL SKATE RATS
All you have to do here is grind the crane, I'm not sure if it matters
what part or anything, just grind it and it should cause alot of havoc,
and the cop's car will be destroyed, and the skaters will get away.
=======================================================================
PISS OFF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
There are 5 construction workers up on the street. They are scattered
along the street, 3 are at the balcony end, 1 is in the middle and the

ARCADE MACHINE HIGH SCORE
The arcade machine here is probably the hardest one to find in all the
levels. Ge to the river area. Ge to the boat and turn around and look
the other way. Now, look to your right to see the side of the building
missing. Climb up here and the arcade machine is in here.
DANCE DANE DANCE
Trick to the beat. Listen for the beat, just listen for a pattern and
on the loud beat, perform the trick. You have to get it exactly right
for it to count the trick. Get the pattern of the sound down, and then
it should be quite easy to do.
RIVERBOAT SLAPPER
Just go to the river, and there will be a boat there. Jump off the
little jetty and press X on the boat. Do the same thing 3 times to
complete the goal.
FIND THE JESTER
The Jester is riding around on the Mardi Gras float. Just stay on the
road by the river and eventually it will come past you. Now just run
onto the float to complete the objective. Take to the jester to get
more goals.
MARK YOUR TERRITORY*
1 - Just by the helipad, on the walkway up to the helipad is the first
sign.
2 - In the trash alley, by the street is the second spat sign
3 - On the sign by the watertower
WATERTOWER SLAP
The watertower is high up on one of the buildings. Use the vert ramps
to get up top to the roof near the helipad. Now, use the air vent to
transfer across the street to the left. You should be able to see the
water tower. Use the vert ramp to transfer up to the high vert ramp, go
off the end of the ramp and press X to slap the tower. It might take
afew trys because it is easy to overshoot.
RAISE THE DEAD
Get to the cemety. There are 5 crypts here, each with skulls on them.
Grind the skulls off of each of the crypts to open them. If you grind
off one skull, you have 10 seconds to grind the rest of the skulls off
before it returns the skull to the crypt. There are 5 total.
GIRLS GONE CRAZY ON PARADE
First, grab some beads. They can be found at the endof the street that
has the graveyard on it. By the end of the street, I mean where it cuts
off and if you go any farther you will be transported back into the
level. Grab the beeds, then find the mardi gras boat that goes along
the street. Just stay by the river boat and it will come along soon
enough. Jump on top of the float, and then you will see girls on the
street - throw these at them. Hit 5 different girls with beads. If you
look in the general direction of the person and throw a beed, it should
hit. Hit 5 to complete the goal.
NAWLINS STREET SPINE
WALLIE THE TROLLEY
There is a tram that goes along the tracks by the river. Wallride the
trolley, and then press X before you get to the top of it to wallie. If
you do reach the top, it will grind and you will need to do it again.
You need to wallie off of it (wallride then ollie.)
SPINE TRANSFER COMBO
Get up to the helipad. Once on the helipad, use the vert ramp to spine
transfer down to the street. Revert (and manual, but usually you wont
have to manual because you are going so fast) and go up the other side
of the vert ramp and spine transfer into the bar. Land it.
TAG THE BIG BILLBOARD
Get to the bar area, it is the area where the music changes (unless you
have music zones off) and it also has the large drink. Use the vert
ramps to transfer onto the roof. Get up there, then get up to the
higher rooftop. While up here, spine transfer down to the lower
rooftop, and this will give you a lot of speed. Land, then go up the
other side of the vert ramp, get off your board in the air and hang
onto the ledge or the pipe, climb up and tag the billboard.
MANHOLE MANUAL
All the potholes on the main street have to be manualed (excluding the
big one in the middle.) Get to the church. Once at the church, get
speed, and get to the first manhole. Start the manual here. Manual over
the potholes. You will lose speed, so use the spacewalk (left, right,
square) for extra speed. If you have trouble balancing, then use the
focus manouver.
FOR THE BIRDS
There are three birds high up in the air by the cemetery. Use the vert
ramp on top of the rooftop to sine transfer to the street, then you
should have plenty of air to launch up high and hit the birds.
Hopefully you will get them all in one go, if not, repeat the process
and get the ones you left behind.
GAS LAMP DISTRICT
What you have to do is grind (or natas spin) three of the gas lamps by
the river. Use the rails on top of the planter, and the ends will act
as kickers, so you can launch up. Grind the top of three of them, or
you can natas spin them, it doesn't matter.
BIG AND FOCUSED
Get focused and perform a big combo (the combo varies on which
difficulty you are on.) Just get focused, and see my tips for getting
big scores.
DROP A HURRICANE
Here you have to acid drop into the worlds largest drink. First, get to
the bar. Get up onto the roof of the bar. You will see a rail with
lights on it above and to the right of the worlds largest drink. Grind
this line, and just before the drink, jump off to the left and acid
drop into the drink.
TEAM CHALLENGE
3 of your team members must perform a special trick while inside the
church area. Easy. With you, you should already have a special trick
you know off by heart - do that and land the special trick. Now go get
the pro, and go to the church area. Press start and go to your options,
view tricks/edit tricks and view one of the special tricks and perform
it in the church area. Do the same with the Jester.
BALCONY BREAKER
This was the very last challenge I had to complete in story mode! It
was the only goal I had to do in story mode, then my game FROZE while
saving (which is the most annoying thing!!!) so I had to restart the
whole game again, and get every goal again, so I did, and this was the
last one I did. I don't know exactly how to do it either, I did it by
pure luck. You have to get 3 balconies in one combo. To break a
balcony, come from underneath it. Just experement with all the
balconies in the middle of the level.
SAVE NAWLINS
First of all, Raise the dead. Once you done that, head to the middle of
the level. Spine transfer down, and then grind around the circle. Now,
jump off and head to the church. Performt he airwalk over the statue.
TRICYCLE VS ZOMBIE
Raise the dead and play as the guy in the vehicle. Now just run around
in your tricycle and run over 10 zombies. The zombies are all over the
place, and while you have the dead raised, all people on the street are
zombies apart from you, the pro and the jester.
SUPER TRASH
Get to the trash alley and perform a superman seatgrab over the trash.
Use the ramp, and with enough speed and air, and you can easily clear
the trash. Remember to do the superman seatgrab as well.
NATAS NEVERSOFT
Get to the cemetery. Find the front gate. Above the front gate is a
neversoft sign. Perform a natas spin on the neversoft sign. Go up the
vert ramp and then perform the Natas spin. Stay on there for 10
seconds.
SIGN SPINNER
Grind through 3 signs in the central area of the level. There are three
of them. To break them, grind through them, usually by using the edge
of the balconies.
=======================================================================
THE EQUALISER
A narly all team stunt. First, you need to get up to the heliport.
There are many ways you can get up here, just use the balconies and
climb ladders, or use vert ramps, get off your board in the air and
climb up. There will be a guard guarding the main path up to the
heliprt, but you can easily go around him. Once you are up there grab
on to the helicopter. Let it take you to above the Qp, then press R2 to
acid drop off. Land, then go up the other side, and you should get
enough air so that you will reach the helicopter again. Get off your
board and then let the helicopter take you to above another vert ramp.
Acid drop off, go forward, go up the next vert ramp, and spine transfer
over it. Press R2 to spine transfer.
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SKATOPIA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ARCADE MACHINE HIGH SCORE
Spine transfer into the mine, and then stand still once you land to
find the arcade machine. To get to the mine from the start, just head
forward, and it's just by the big slope. You should know the drill by
now - beat the high score on the machine. Fairly easy, just bust out
some combos - you have 1 minute to get a high score. Beat 1st place and
complete the challenge.
LOCATE THE CHAINSAW
Get to the school bus park skating area. You need to climb a tree to
get the chainsaw. The tree is the one just by the little shack and the
top of the mine. Jump onto the tree just here and press R1 to hang on.
Now climb to the very top.
THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT
First, complete the previous goal where you get the chainsaw. After you
do that, a cut-scene will kick in showing Bigfoot stealing the motor
board and running off with it. Once that has happened, get to the house
near the start. Climb to the first cliff edge to find bigfoot. Talk to
him to get a new set of goals.
ZIPLINE TOSS DROP
I had trouble doing this goal the first time beacause there is more
than one zipline, and I didn't know which zipline it was talking about,
or which bowl you had to go into. From the start, head forward and to
the right. Go up the narrow path, and use the vert ramp on the left to
transfer onto the first cliff edge. Jump up and press R1 to hang on,
then at the top, press R2 to acid drop into the bowl near the school
bus park.
LAUNCH THE FIREWORKS
First, you need to get your board on fire. The fireworks is on top of
the barn. To get there, you will need a boost. Just by the logs there
is a flaming pile of garbage. Head towards the garbage fire so that you
are going towards the barn, then when you are over the top of the
garbage, press X to get huge air and transfer onto the barn. Now run
into the fireworks.
TAG THE BIG BILLBOARD
Just climb up the cliff edge, or get to the top of the mountain and
climb down. The billboard is on the very top cliff edge. You can climb
up using the ladders. Press triangle while off your board to graffiti
the billboard and complete the goal.
MARK YOUR TERRITORY
This stupid spat guy, I hate him! These are probably the most annoying
goals in the game!
1 - First spat sign is by the shack. To get there, head to the school
bus park at the top of the mountain, and just by the top of the
mine is a little shack. On the side of the shack is the spat sign.
2 - The second Spat sign is on the back of the skatopia sign. The sign
is in front of you as you start.
3 - This one is on the barn. Use whatever ways you can to get up onto
the barn, and then head to the right of the barn and drop down to
the flat roof. On the wall of the archaed roof is a spat sign.
4 - This spat sign is on the first cliff edge, use the vert ramp to
transfer up there. It is just by the ladder.
5 - Another one by the barn. It is on the left side on the barn wall,
near the bowling alley and the big bowls.
FIND RYAN SHCKLER
An easy goal. Get to the barn. Use the ladder to climb up halfway then
jump into the open area of the barn. Ryan Sheckler is standing in front
of you.
TREE TOP SPIN AND BOMB
You can use any tree for this challenge, but lets use the one at the
top of the mountain, that is the tree you got the chainsaw from. Climb
to the top of the tree, and then natas spin on the very top of the
tree. I'm sure you know how to natas spin by now. Now, you need to jump
off in the direction of a vert ramp. Aim for the bottom of the cliff
using the directional buttons to point to where it is, then jump off
and acid drop by pressing R2 over the vert ramp.
MOUNTAIN TOP MANUAL
Is quite easy once you know what to do. You have to start the manual at
the top of the mountain by the school bus and make it go all the way
through the front entrance of skatopia. Start just by the hose line on
the ground, and manual. Head downhill and you will get more speed. Now
go around the bend (turning and balacning can be hard) and keep
manualing down the slope. The more the manual, the harder it will
become to balance. When you think your balance is getting really hard
to control, press L3 to get into focus mode. This will help you alot
and probably give you the 15 seconds you need to ge through the front
entrance. Keep manualling down the slope and go out the front entrance
of skatopia in one manual.
LUMBERJACK COMBO
An easy challenge, all you have to do is grind all 3 logs in one combo.
Go up the big slope and grind the first log, then jump and grind the
second log, and jump and grind the third log all in one combo.
SPINE THE MINE
Get up to the school bus park. Just by the little shack is a mine. Use
the vert ramps here and spine transfer (R2) down into the mine. Goal
complete.
SKATOPIA SPINE COMBO
First, get to the school bus, and look to your left. Go forward from
here and go up the vert ramp. Spine transfer down to the road, and
revert and go up the other vert ramp (note you have to do this in one
combo, so thats why you needed to revert, but because you are so quick
going staright to the next vert ramp it isn't really nessecary to
manual.) Now spine transfer again into the garage. Once again revert
and spine transfer out of the garage. If you are having trouble getting
the last spine transfer, try going to the right some more.
DOWNHILL LINE
Ok first get to the school bus park, and turn around and look downhill
towards the barn. Now go forward and grind the ramp on the right. It
should now light up. Once you grind that, transfer to the edge of the
pond. Now, jump off and grind the left ramp. Keep grinding, then jump
and grind the part of the garage and jump off (don't let it take you
around the bowl). Now wallride up and grind the top of the mobile home.
Jump and grind the ramp, then jump and grind by the skatopia sign to
complete the line. It has to be done in one big combo.
JUMP TO THE WEATHER BALOON
Get to the top of the mountain. Jump up so that you are near the mine.
Up here is a vert ramp, with a normal ramp just near it. Go up the vert
ramp, and then when you land, use the ramp to launch out to the weather
baloon. While you are in the air, get off your board and hang on to the
baloon.
SCRAPE THE HIVES
1 - First hive is where it shows it on the goals list, just by the
barn. Go to the right side of the bran, go in the alley and
wallride the right side.
2 - Another one near the barn, from the school bus park, head down the
hill, and then to the right. Look up high to see the bee hive on
the wall. Use the ramp by it to wallride up and scrape off the
beehive.
3 - Get to the pond. Just by the pond is a cliff edge. The cliff edge
is opposite the garage. Use the ramp here to wallride up and knock
the hive.
4 - By the garage, wallride up the wall of the garage
ONE LONG ELECTRIC WIRE
To start this off, get to the school bus park, and face downhill. The
start of the wire is up here. Use the vert ramp before the wire and
boneless off the top of it and grind the electric wire. Just hold your
balance now let the wire do the rest. The wire goes downhill, so you
don't have to worry about your speed, you will go quite fast. Just
balacne yourself out. If you think you are about to fall off because
you can't control the balance meter, don't worry, use focus. Focus will
give you 15 seconds, which is enough time to get from halfway to the
end of the line, so about when you get to the garage, or even before,
use focus.
SHACK ATTACK
A fairly hard challenge, this can be annoying. What you have to do is
go through one shack in a combo, then go through the other shack while
in the same combo. Seeing as the shacks place you all the way at the
other side of the level, it can be quite hard to complete. First jump
through the shack on your left and perform a trick as you are going
through. This will take you to the school bus park. Hopefully when you
go through the shack, you will not land right next to the vert ramp,
you want to land on the straight section going downhill. If you do land
right next to a vert ramp, start again and hope you don't land there
next time, it might have something to do with where you jump through
the shack to. When you do land on the straight, now grind the right
vert ramp. Remember that downhill line? Well do that. Transfer to the
pond, then jump and grind the vert ramp on the left or right, it
doesn't really matter. When you get near the garage, jump off and
manual the slope down. Head for the shack. You will have to do a U
turn, and this is easiest done in focus mode. Get focus and then make
sure you are performing flatland tricks to keep your focus going. Now
turn around and head through the shack on the right (you should of gone
through the shack on the left the first time.) Using focus it should be
easy to turn around and go through the shack, and complete the goal.
Make sure it is done in one big combo.
OVER THE HOUSE
A simple challenge compared to the last one. Get to the school bus park
at the top of the mountain. Now, use the vert ramps up here to spine
transfer all the way to the bottom of the cliff, so that when you land,
you will be able to see the house in front of you. Spine transfer down
and you should have heaps of speed - now jump off the end of the vert
ramps (so don't go up them like normal ones, use them as ramps you
launch off of) and go over the house. With the speed and air you have
after the spine transfer, transferring over the house should be quite
easy to complete.
ZIPLINE WIRE BOMB
All you have to do here is grind the wire and acid drop. Get to the
logs just by the barn. Grind the log at the top of the hill and then
jump and grind the zipline wire. Now jump off near the end and acid
drop to the vert ramp below you.
SKATOPIA TRANSFER
An easy challenge, all you have to do is transfer from one of the vert
ramps to the left or the right of the sign to the sign vert ramp. Just
get speed an angle so you will hit the sign halfpipe. Quite easy.
GROW SOME PLANTS
1 - Go through the entrance of skatopia and head left, just by the
cement mixture is the first lot.
2 - On the cliff edge opposite the garage area. Climb up or go around,
whciever is good.
3 - Just by the third lumberjack log, the third being the one farthest
away from the start of the level.
Do a flip trick over the plant spot to make the plants grow.
A CLEAR PATH
This challenge can be quite annoying, for the fact that mostof the time
this wont register! Get to the lumberjack logs. Face towards the start.
On the left of the massive slope, is another slop. Manual down this.
Now you are ment to get big air off the piece of plywood, but i'm not
sure exactly how to do this, just try and hitting it at different
angles, pressing X at different angles.
MANUAL UP A SLOPE
You need to be bigfoot for this goal. Play as him, he has the powered
skateboard. Now, this big slope is the one just to the left of the big
mountain. From the start, head left around the sign and the house to
find the huge slope. Jump into a manual and with the power of the
board, it is really easy to manual up the slope.
=======================================================================
SPIN BOMB
Get to the house. Get to the top of the spin bomb, and grind around it
4 times. It's pretty easy, and you shouldn't have trouble grinding
around it 4 times, thats nothing.
ROCKETS
This took me awhile to do because I thought that when you end the natas
spin, it just puts you out in a random position. Get to the rockets and
climb to the top. Do a natas spin on one of the rockets, and then press
the direction in which the other rockets are and natas spin them. You
cannot natas spin the some rocket set more than once, as they go down.
Just jump off and hold the direction in which the next rockets are and
natas spin the 4 sets of rockets.
FOUNTAIN OF GLORY
Go up the vert ramp on the base of the fountain of glory (the one that
is on the side of the fuse.) Then get off your board in the air, and
hang on to the edge. Pull yourself up, then grind down the fuse.
BOX BOMBS
What you have to do here is to hit 8 boxes in two combos. This is
easily done. First, get to the boxes. Hop on the first box, and get
into a manual. Now get off your board and jump onto 3 other boxes (or 4
if you can) by the time the timer runs out. Do the same thing to the
other boxes, jump on them while the timer is up.
GIANT BOMB
Easy, just climb to the top of it near the school bus park.
SAVE THE CIRTTERS
You play as Tony Hawk in this challenge. Ride down the hill and hit the
dogs to get a critter bonus. Just keep hitting the dogs and you will
get more time. Go down the hill to find some more critters, and through
the front entrance.
SKATOPIA COMBO
On sick mode, go up the vert ramp, grind on the fence, and then head
downhill. Jump off the fence and grind the left vert ramp. Once you
think you can't hold on balancing your grind anymore, jump off into a
manual, and head straight for the sign. Make sure it is done in one big
combo.

TRAINING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIL POP
Enter the added on part of the warehouse. There will be a funbox with a
raised up rail on it. Use the funbox to transfer and grind the raised
up rail.
BEAM LIP
Took me awhile to find - in the old part of the warehouse, find the
pool that is just to the left as you go down the big slope. On the back
wall is a wodden beam, use the vert ramp to jump up and perform a lip
trick on the beam.
HALP PIPE LIP
One brought back from tony hawks pro skater 1. After rolling down the
slope, on the right side of the old warehouse is a halpipe, as the gao
suggests, perform a lip trick on any side of the half pipe. Any side
will count.
POOL 2 POOL
What you need to do here is transfer between the pool you can skate in,
and the pool edge with water in the new warehouse area. Start from the
pool with water in, grind the ledge of it, then jump and grind the
pool.
QP TRANSFER
Once you go down the slopes at the start of the level, look behind you.
You will see some quarterpipes. Go up one qp, and then transfer over
the slope part. You will have to angle it, and land it for it to count.
RAIL 2 LIGHT
As it says, you have to transfer from a rail to a light. The rails are
all up high in the level, use the quarterpipes to get up there and
transfer to the light.
RAMP HOP
There are two ramps in the old warehouse area - easily transfer between
them.
RED BUTTON WALLRIDE
The red button is in the new warehouse area. On the side wall just near
the crossover between the old and the near area is the red button.
Wallride the red button.
CAR HOP
There is a taxi in the old warehouse area, Jump over it.
FUNBOX SPINE
Remember when you used the funbox to laucnh up to the raised rail? Just
to the left of the funbox is a vert ramp, go up this, and transfer into
the pool, or you can do it the other way around, from the pool to that
vert ramp.
GOING UP
Go to the QP in the back of the old warehouse area. Now, grind it
heading towards the right. Keep grinding, and you will eventually get
around by the halfpipe. Keep grinding then jump at the end and grind
the rail up high.
LIGHT HOP
Transfer between to lights, you will need to grind the rails up high
again, then transfer to the light.
HIPPIN
At the back of the new warehouse area are some Qp's. Go up one side and
angle over the platform, so you do a hip transfer.
RECESSED TRANSFER
Get to the new warehouse area. As you go into the new area, look to
your right. There are two vert ramps on the back wall, you need to
sucessfully transfer between these two quarter pipes.
SPRINKLER LIP
Head to the back of the old warehouse area. Use the Qp's on the back
wall, go up it and lip trick on one of the sprinklers.
UPPER RAIL
Just near the wall is a funbox in the new warehouse. Use this to
transfer into a grind on the rails.
HIGH WIRE
Get to the back of the new warehouse area. THere are Qps by the back
wall, use these to go up and lip trick the wire up high.

2 PLAYER/ONLINE
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GAME MODES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRICK ATTACK
A fairly simple game mode to understand. All you have to do is be the
person with the most points at the end of the time limit and you win!
The main trick is to get big combos. Go up a vert ramp, do a big trick,
then land doing a revert and manualling. Then perform some flatland, or
go up the other side of the vert ramp and do the same thing. This is
guranteed to get you a lot of points.
SCORE CHALLENGE
This mode is sort of like the above game mode, although instead of
being the player to score the most, you have to be the player that
reaches the pre-set score first. Just do lots of big combos, and keep
trying to stay ahead of your opponents score.
COMBO MAMBO
Once again, fairly easy to explain, the player that has the biggest
combo at the end of the time limit wins. Just perform a vert trick,
then land using a revert and a manual, and go up the other side of the
vert ramp, do the same and then land using a revert and a manual, and
perform some flatland tricks, then land when your balance is getting
unsteady,
SLAP!
All you have to do in this game mode is to try to hit the other player
as many times as possible. To hit the other player, bump into them, but
make sure you are going faster than them, otherwise you will get
knocked over. If you have more slaps than the other person, try to get
them to chase after you, because they are the ones that need more
points.
KING OF THE HILL
There is a crown somewhere in the level, and the first player to find
it becomes the king. While you are king, the crown will be above your
head, and your score will start going up. If you don't have the crown,
find the player with it, and then knock them over to steal the crown.
Of course, you will skate slower while wearing the crown, otherwise it
will totally be unfair.
GRAFFITI
What you have to do is to tag the most objects. To tag an object,
perform a reasonably big trick on it. If it is a rail, grind the rail,
and it will become your colour. If you see something that isn't your
colour, but is instead your opponents colour, perform a bigger trick on
the object, and it will become yours. Keep getting and stealing
objects.
FIREFIGHT
A wierd game mode (by the sounds of it) that I haven't played. In this
game mode, you can shoot fireballs from the bottom of your skateboard.
The higher the combo, the bigger your fireballs become. Your objective
is to knock out the other players. Shoot fireballs with the up
directional button and the square button or the down directional button
and the square button.
GOAL ATTACK
I haven't played online, so I don't know anything about this mode,
really. What I think you do is compete against other opponents online
in Created Goals, and see who can complete the objectives the fastest.
The server player chooses which goals, and the player or team who
complete all goals first, wins.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Form teams, and then you have to try and steal the other teams flag.
Find the other teams flag, and then return to your base for a capture.
Remember, you flag has to be at your base for a capture. If it isn't
there, follow the arrow to find your flag, and hit the player who has
it to retrieve the flag.
HORSE
You can choose a word in this mode (any word you choose). Now, one
player starts off and does a combo trick. The second player needs to
get a bigger score than the first player, otherwise they get a letter.
If player two scores bigger than player one, they swap and player one
now sets the score, and the new player two has to beat that or else
they get a letter. First one who gets all letters loses. Yeah, I know I
probably just totally confused you.
FREE SKATE
Just like the one player mode. Cruise around the level you choose
without any time limits. See how big combo you can get without no time,
and just generally skate around, and find out secrets in the level.
Great for practising.
SCAVENGER HUNT
A new game mode to Tony Hawks Underground 2. Each player places 5 coins
throughout the level. Be the first to pick up all the coins, inclduing
your own 5, or at least be the one to pick up the most coins before the
time limit runs out, and you win.
ELIMSKATE
Another new mode to Tony Hawks Underground 2. The game is sort of the
same as Trick Attack, however this time you have multiplae stages per
game, with a variable time limit. In the first stage, the time counts
down and the lowest scoring player gets eliminated from the game. This
continues until only one skater is left standing. And they are the
winner!
=======================================================================
CREATE A PARK GUIDE
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Hawk's Underground 2, like THUG, THPS2, 3 and 4 allows you to
create your own skate park. You can add lots of things in here, which
is great, in my opnion. You can even greate gaps, rails, and your own
goals to put in your park.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PIECE CATEGORIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Off the top of my head:
Funboxes
Ground pieces
Benches
biildings
Ground pieces
Small stuff
Hugeys
Pools
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PIECE CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNBOXES This is hard to explain. A funboxes, is sort of like
one raised up piece in the middle, and then ramps
going around the outside connecting to the middle,
although it doesn't look like ramps. You can choose
from long funboxes to short, and small funboxes. You
can launch off of the sides of funboxes, roll over
them, etc.
Funboxes generic are sort of like Funboxes, but they
look totally different, and are not jump those ramp
things. They also inlcude lots of different things
from different Tony Hawk games, like the Vert ramp
with two ramps on the side and a sign above it.
Also, the funboxes have rails and all on it, like
the ones in the middle in the Tampa contest.
BUILDINGS I think everyone knows what a building is. I also
think everyone knows what a trailer is also. These
pieces are great to put in your park, because it
gives the player the feel that they are in a town.
You can also put in little trailers, traincars, and
RVs. For the buildings, you can put in the School
building, a Liquor building, and some over types of
houses, inlcuding a Skyscraper.
RESTARTS Lets say you place a 1P icon on the map, this is
where the first player will start the level. Also,
if the player happens to fall in water, lava or a
Pungee pit, they will respanw at this location.
Same thing for the second player. You cant put the
restarts over any other object, they have to be on
flat land, no grass, etc. You can also place Horse
start points, and King of the Hill crowns.
TOOLS Two out of the three objects in this category are
new to the Tony Hawk series. There are three things
you can use in this category. They are: Gap tool,
Rail tool, and Arena Selection. The gap tool lets
you link two pieces together. The Rail tool allows
you to create rails wherever you want, kind of like
powerlines. This is great because it sucked in the
other tony hawks that you had to raise the land to
place a rail. The arena selection can be used to
copy/paste areas of your park.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING A GOOD PARK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
URBAN STYLE
If you want to make a city style park, you will want to have a nice
atmosphere in the level. Firstly, place streets around the place, and
make tunnels, etc, where a car can get through without too much
trouble. Make the street go around in a big circle (loop) going past
houses, and different places, and when you can't put a street,
improvise. For example, there was a place behind a few buildings where
a street piece wouldn't fit, so I made it an alley. I did this by
putting grass on the left and right, and making a line up, and then
putting sand in the middle. It makes it like an alley, like an offroad
track which is good for the cars. Also, in another area, I made slopes
leading up to the liquor area, and made that as like a ramp. The area
underneath where the air is was all grenery, and a normal skating area.
Around the streets it is best if you place some buildings, like Houses,
Skyscrapes and those liquor buildings around the streets. Don't make it
all the way around, I out a halfpipe in the middle of streets with
grass and sand as a path, and then raised the grass by one to make it
look like a hedge maze, but still had a good effect. Remeber tunnels
and jumps make it look good, and when you play it using a car, it will
be superb if you need to jump over water, or a pool.
BEACH STYLE
I guess it would be like Hawaii style. Try to give it a good, remote
feeling. Try to create water around the edges, if you want it that way.
There are a few good beach pieces in the miscellaneous. These are the
party boats, and also the dock areas. This makes for a great beach
setting. Also, you can place sand around the place, and make a lot of
pools. you can make your own pools by lowering the land, and the
selecting pool parts category, then put the pieces in. Simple. There
are also some preset.
COMPETITION STYLE
Wanna make your park like it's a competition park? Easy. Try to make a
vert section, and also a street section. The vert section should
consist of a halfpipe, and maybe some other vert ramp pieces around the
area. For the street section, you should place some of the funboxes in
there, like the pieces in the middle of the level in Tampa. Look around
in the funboxes section, there is some good stuff in there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RAIL TOOL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls to the rail tool:
X - Place rail
Square - Snap to object
Circle - Grab nearest rail point
Triangle - Delete rail
L1/L2 - Move cursor up/down
R1/R2 - Control Camera
This lets you create your own rails. In the previous Tony Hawk games,
had to raise the land if you wanted to put the rails up high. In
Unerground, you can place them anywhere. You don't need to raise the
land, you can draw them anywhere, even over other objects.
This can be good if you make the rails leading from a skyscraper for
example, and then make it head all the way down to another house. In my
opinion, this is a great new addition.
=======================================================================
CREATE A GOAL GUIDE
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THUG2 lets you create your own goals. You can set where each
pedestrians is who gives you the goal, where you start, etc. This is a
great mode, and really boosts up the replay value of the game, in my
opinion. This section will describe all about creating your own goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SETTING UP THE GOAL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, you need to press the start button to get up the pause menu
(either in a create a goal level, or park editor.) You wont see the
option Create a goal if you are playing in Story mode, or any other
mode apart from create a goal mode or the Park Editor.
Next, you must select which goal you want to choose. Descriptions of
the goals will come later on in this section. You can choose from Skate
Letters, Combo letters, High score, High combo, Skate Tricks, Combo
Skate Tricks, Trickits and gaps goal. Select one.
Your first job is to place the pedestrian who gives out the goal. Put
him in a reasonable spot, like on the porch of a house for example, or
in the middle of a halfpipe for the High score challenge. Don't put
them in impossible places, like on water where you can't get to them,
on lava or too high in the air.
After you place them, you need to place the player start point for the
goal. If you are creating a collect combo goal, put the player right at
the start of the line. Same with the gaps goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SKATE/COMBO LETTERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SKATE LETTERS The person who plays your level must collect all the
letters of the word skate (5 letters total.) You can
place these anywhere in the level, and the player
just has to find all letters in the time limit. They
don't have to be in order or anything. I usually make
one lot of skate letters for driving, another for
just walking, and another for skating. If you really
want to make it hard, put the skate letters in hard
to reach areas, for example: You need to get a lot of
speed and launch into the air to grab the letter, or
behind a house that you need to climb, or on top of
the roof of a house behind it's chimney so the player
can't see it.
COMBO LETTERS Well, sort of like the above challenge, although the
player must collect the letters combo, all in one,
usually big, combo. The letters don't have to be
gotten in any order really, but they are usually
placed in an order. Make sure the letters you place
are actually possible to get in one combo. For
example, there is no use putting the C in one corner
of the level and the first O in the other corner. Try
to place them in a good, combo line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HIGH SCORE/COMBO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HIGH SCORE The person who plays this goal has to get the amount
of points that is preset. You can set the score
amount for the goal in the variables. If you are
going to make the score extra big, give the player
some more time. Also, be reasonable once again. Here
is no use making a high score 2 million in just 15
seconds, because it would have to be done like a
combo.
HIGH COMBO Player must score a very high combo score. A combo is
a continuous line of tricks, and when you land
without doing a trick or bail, then the combo ends.
This is great with small time limits, in my opinion,
because they have to get the combo right first time.
Best to put the starting point near a halfpipe, or if
you want to make it harder, away from the halfpipe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SKATING TRICKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Skate tricks
- Tritris
- Combo skate-tricks
- Trick to the beat
Most of these are the same, so I will do one big description. The
tricks appear on the right hand side of the screen, and the player has
to perform these tricks. You can set what type of tricks they have to
do (basic flips, double tap grabs, etc.) but you can't set grinds,
manuals, flatland tricks, lips, etc. You can also set the acceleration
(how fast they come up). With combo skate tricks, the player is
required to do the skate tricks in one combo. With Trickits, here is an
example: Lets say there are 5 tricks:
Heelfip
Kickflip
Double Heelflip
Double Kickflip
Varial Kickflip
And you perform a Heelflip, the heelfip will go away, and a new trick
will appear. Lets say that you perform 4 tricks in the air, then land
it, the 4 tricks you landed will dissapear, and 4 new tricks will
appear.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CHECKPOINT/RACE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GAPS GOAL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Requires the player to gap between two objects a certain amount of
times, however many times you choose. You can select all different gaps
(10 total) and make the player pull a required trick over the gap. Once
again, make the gaps actually possible to get, and say what the trick
is when the pedestrians says it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
VARIABLES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Variables are things you can change.
EDIT POSITIONS - Allows you to set up all the peices in your goals
again, for example, the starting point of the goal,
the position of where the pedestrian is standing, and
if you are doing the skate or combo letters goal, you
can edit the positions of those letters.
SET TIME LIMIT - Allows you to set the amount of time that the player
has to complete the challenge. For high score levels,
it should be 2 minutes, but for the high combo/combo
letters goals, it should be short.
SET SCORE - Available only in the High Score and the High Combo
goals. Here, you can set the score that the player has
to reach in the time limit. For High score, the player
just has to reach this score using any means nessecary
and as many combos as they need, but for high combo,
they have to get the score in one combo. It doesn't
matter how much all add up to, you need a combo bigger
than the score.
NAME GOAL - Here you can name the goal, and when the player
presses start and goes to view goals, the name will
show up here. So you could call a goal "Street race"
and it's really colelcting skate letters, but you are
in a car. The default goal names are the type of goal,
for example, collecting skate letters will be "Skate
Letters" on the view goal screen if you don't give the
goal a name.
NAME PED - Here you can give a name to the pedestrian that gives
out the goal to you. You can name him whatever you
like, and it will appear when you are near the
character. It will say "Mr Sickness" Press Circle to
talk. The default name sof the pedestrians are
"Created Goal."
SET GOAL TEXT - Type in what the pedestrian will say to you when you
go up to him for the goal. I will only reccomend this
if you have USB keyboard, because selecting the
letters using the controller can be too long, and
boring. I usually just leave the text how it is.
WIN MESSAGE - This is what the pedestrian will say when you complete
the challenge. You can make it from a simple "Yeah" to
anything else you want them to say. Once again, typing
it all in can get boring, and the default message is
nothing.
DELETE GOAL - Fairly simple to understand. Hit X, and it will delete
this goal from the park. All letters, and the
pedestrian and start point for the goal will be
deleted. It will also be removes from the "View
Goals" menu.
TEST GOAL - For some reason, this cannot be used on Park Editor
levels. Anyway, when you are making goals in the
normal levels, select this and it will skip straight
to the pedestrian saying what you need to do. This is
great if you think you might have put the combo
letters too far apart, or maybe you thought the gap
was a bit impossible, here you can test the goal.
CONTROL - This determines how the player will start out when
they first start the goal. You can choose from Skating
(the default, and you can get off your board) Walking
(You start off walking, but can get back on your
board) Walking Only (You can't get back on your board
for the rest of the goal) and finally you can choose a
car.
PICK GAPS - Here, you can select the gaps that the player has to
do in the gaps goal. You can select a total of 10
gaps. To select the gap, press the X button and a tick
will be in the box. Press again to untick. Only gaps
that you have done yourself will be displayed on the
tricks menu, but in park Editor, you can choose any.
SKATE TRICKS - There is a lot of stuff in here. You can select what
types of tricks come up, like basic Flip tricks
(Simple direction + square) Diagonal flip tricks,
Double tap Flip Tricks (left, left square) and grab
tricks. you can also select if you have to spin them,
and also the acclerations of the tricks, how many they
need to win, and all sorts of over stuff.

CHEAT CODES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In previous Tony Hawk game, there have been many ways to get cheats.
For example, THPS4, you had to buy them, in THUG, you needed to
complete every goal. Well, in THUG2 to get cheats, you must complete
every single gap in the game! This will be quite a hard task to do, so
hopefully someone will post a gap checklist guide!
However, Neversoft have a section in options called cheat codes, and
you can type in cheat codes there. There currently has been one found.
If you find any more, please email them to me.

GAME FREEZE
The most horrible thing that can happen to you! It's happened to me,
and heaps and heaps and heaps of other people out there! At one stage
on the Tony Hawks Underground 2 board, there were heaps and heaps of
topics about the freezing. As I said, it happened to me, and i was
really really annoyed.
What happens is when you are saving the game, it freezes, meaning you
can't continue, and you have to reset your console, meaning the data is
all erased. It sucked because everything I had done just went like that
- everything! I only had one story mode goal left to complete until I
had completed every goal in story mode.
It will probably happen to you too, as it has happened to many people!
There is a solution though - make 2 backup files. If one gets
corrupted, reset, load the other one and then save it again so you will
always have two backups, and when you save, save over all three so that
they are all at the same spot. If one gets corrupted, you wont lose
everything.
MUSIC GONE
Sometimes when you go out of focus mode, the music stops playing. It's
probably because the music stops when you go into focus mode, and
something might forget to trigger it to play again when you are out of
it. Only very rarely happens. To cure this, why you have lost the
music, just go to game options, sound option and go to Skip track or
Playlist. Highlight them and the music should come back on.
SPINE TRANSFER SPECIAL
A small little one here. Perform a special trick over a spine, so you
get a special trick plus a spine transfer in your combo. For some
reason, the sepcial colour will be on the spine transfer trick, and the
special will be a white colour instead of it's normal colour.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DESTRUCTION/SECRET AREAS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSTON
In the washington park there are two cannons facing the tea boat area.
Find the trashcan that is on fire just by the cannon, and jump over it
(either on your board or off your board, it doesn't really matter.) Now
grind both of the cannons while your board is on fire to light the
fuse. Once you see the cutscene, afew things have changes in that area.
Afew beams are down, and there is now a vert ramp on the ground and
more ramps.
BARCELONA
Set the bull free. To do this, throw a tomato at the bull in the cage.
Once the bull is set free, the bull will knock over a car, and also
over a tower. Now you can use the tower parts as a vert ramp.
BERLIN
You have to grind a little cable up very high. Get to where you found
the graffiti tagger in story mode. Now grind along the very top ledge,
heading the opposite way of the church, which should be to the left.
You will grind a little rail by the train tracks, causing afew things
to happen.
AUSTRALIA
Outback tours park. In Free Skate or story mode, get to the crane. On
the opposite side of the street to the crane is a fire hydrant. Natas
spin on the fire hydrant. to natas spin, go up to the hydrant, ollie
into the top of it and press triangle plus circle. Spin for about 5
seconds, and watch the little cut-scene. The crane knocks over a wall.
You can now skate through where the wall broke down to, into the
Australian outback area, where there are afew rails and a bowl and
other things to trick off. This is also where the special guest is in
the Australia story level.
NEW ORLEANS
Raise the dead - get to the cemety. There are 5 crypts here, each with
skulls on them. Grind the skulls off of each of the crypts to open
them. If you grind off one skull, you have 10 seconds to grind the rest
of the skulls off before it returns the skull to the crypt. There are 5
total. It changes the music, the lighting, and there is a hole in the
middle of the level.
SKATOPIA
I don't really think there is anything in this level - it does get
(SPOILERS) burnt down at the end of story mode, but thats about it.
LOS ANGELES
Causing an earthquake - to cause an earthquake, just by the start there
are 4 tremor rails, A north rail, a south rail and a east and west
rail. Grind all 4 of them (not in a combo or anything) to cause an
earthquake) now you can get onto the highway, which is nessecary for
getting a stat point in classic mode.
PHILLADELPHIA
By doing this you can unlock the phillyside skatepark area. Find the
housem it's by the powerlines, near the awning. Grind the rail just by
it, and you will transfer onto the powerlines. Grind it for afew
seconds, and the fences will come down across the street. You can now
skate in that phillyside area, which was previously unaccessable. Also,
you can drain the fountain, not that there is much point to it though.
Find the grass area by the founain. It is the grass area that is away
from the second house. On the edge of thise grass area a rail. Grind
the rail all the way to the along, and you will get to the balcony area
of a house. There is a little valve there, grind it to drain the
fountain.
