Some goals wont be gone into detail with because they are too simple or I haven't finished them. ******* SUBURBS ******* GOALS: Uncover the Pool Grind the colored bars on top of the pool to open it up Koi Catastrophe Go to the koi pond, and look for the big shrine statue. Ramp off its base and get off your board. Land on top, and then Natas Spin (LA and Y) on top of it, and it will come tumbling down. Gap Attack! Find the Gaps Photo Basics Alright, on this one you have to pick up some speed and ramp off over fence and lay down a trick. Pretty simple.

Shag Dad's Balls Pretty simple, Dad is hitting his golf balls, and you have to collect them. Just follow the arrow on screen and it will lead you to the balls DESCRIPTION: Welcome to the Suburbs, your hometown. This place has plenty of grinding spots, as well as a few quarter pipes and ramps to get some pretty decent air.
