Head on over to the 118 board shop located in the top left corner of the map, the skateboarding icon on your compass. Dont actually head into the shop just yet, you dont need to upgrade your gear. Instead talk to Mindy using the O button to recieve your first Sponsor Challenge. Sponsor Challenges increase your stats, and they change daily. Once you talk to Mindy, then head towards the skate shop. You dont actually need to go inside, just press O at their doors to view the posters. You can complete any one of the 4 objectives to complete the challenge. The easiest way to complete it is to do the Caveman in a combo. Head on over to the yellow guard rails just down the road to your left, grind them using triangle and then jump off while pressing L1+R1 to complete a Caveman. *Note, completing this mission does NOT mean you have completed the sponsor challenge. You must still finish the other 3 objectives.* You've just earned a Stat Increase and have recieved your first text message. ========================= E Kickflip Whofleck ========================= Part 1 ====== I'm sure they meant to say Affleck. Head on back up to Mindy who is still hanging around the skateshop. She'll introduce you to Duane who puts you up to some stupid dare. You have to perform a kickflip over Ben Aff---Whoflecks head. The game isnt very picky, you were intended to grind the ropes, jump off and hit Square if you've been doing Square->Triangle. Mix them all in. You can also push Square Square to do a flip for whatever trick you're doing. Also, Triangle Triangle and Circle Circle are tricks as well. ========================================== 4.11 Santa Monica ========================================== To get to Santa Monica skate towards the door at the end of the garage, then skate past the bus to the next open door. ========================= A Get to Alva's Bro ========================= Find Alva's bro up in the courtyard. Grind across from one planter to the other without touching the ground. Okay, just to be clear, you do not jump from one planter to another. Its possible, but very hard. The way you're suppose to do this is jump from planter, to the theatre, to the next planter. If you dont know how to do this, fail the mission and watch Alva's brother do it. Start grinding the rail, and when you make the first turn, ollie off the planter and grind the back of the theatre platform for a split second, before ollying again and hitting the next planter. Make sure you jump as soon as you make the first turn, your momentum will give you a nudge forward and help you hit the stairs, if you jump too late you'll swing around and travel in the wrong direction. When you're grinding the back of the theatre platform, make sure you jump while you're still heading forwards. Same as the first planter, if you jump too late you'll travel in the wrong direction. Then get up to the top of the theater roof without touching the ground. Skate forward, but aim for the ramp, this will launch you into the air. You should see cables running from one end of the courtyard around to the theatre roof. When you're in the air, grind these wires. It'll take you around a corner of the courtyard, there is a broken section here. Ollie to get on the rooftop. Finally get to the dude without touching the courthouse grounds. Do this by starting on the wall to your left. When it curves to the left, jump across the gap. Follow this around and use the same method described above to get to the top of the roof. The guy is standing in the pavilion underneath you. Just get off your board, go over to the side and hang down. Drop onto the floor and go up to him. ------------------------- An Alternative solution offered by estoy: On the third part, I tried and tried what you said in your guide, but to no avial. So intead of hopping on the left wall, I grinded on the right wall, jumped to the next ledge, then after that ledge I fell to the lower level. From here, I was able to stop and realign myself (since this is not technically part of the court ground) and I jumped to the planter right near me, grinded and jumped the gap to the theater stage. Worked like a charm first time. ------------------------- ============================================= B Ride the Wheel and Scare the Seagulls ============================================= Lip trick on the ferris wheel for a full rotation of the car on which you're riding. Start on a car right at the bottom and just ride it around until you're back at the bottom and it tells you that you can hop off. Next, ride the rail around the end of the pier. The tricky part of this one is timing the jump at the broken portion. As you turn the corner around the shack, you'll be skating on ropes instead of rails, this is your cue to jump off as you near the broken gap. Now you have to scare the seagulls away. First grind the rope on the edge of the pier and scare away all of the seagulls. Dont skate the rail, jump over the rail onto the rope running beside the rail. Then grind the other rope the guy shows you. There is no Skate Ranch piece for this goal. ============================== C Shoot the Valley Kooks ============================== Tony Alva is out in the water with some valley surfers. His buddy has rigged up the telescope into a cannon. Shoot all of the surfers in the water by pressing square. You have unlimited ammo, so just keep firing. Start from the left, there should be 3 surfers on your screen. Take those 3 out first and pan to the right. There should be another 2, take them out as fast as you can, but you may need to move back to the left and get the ones who have climbed back up on their surfboards. ======================================= D Rip out the Steps. Impossible! ======================================= If you are able to get the stairs torn down, the construction worker will take them back to the ranch for you. All you have to do is jump down the stairs while doing a trick. It can be tough to clear them though. Get speed on the quarterpipe behind you. Do a boneless as you take off (try going later and later) and eventually you'll clear them. Then you must do it three more times. Finally you must do a 360 Impossible over the same stairs. If you cant clear the stairs, then there is an easier way to complete this mission. First get off your board or skate to the top of the steps. (Do not go down them). Turn around so you're facing the building, skate up and do a liptrick on the ledge, end the trick and hold down X. When you fall back down and are above the steps, release X and do the Impossible. (Up and Square). Keep doing this every time. ==================== E Shark Attack ==================== Meet mindy near the board shop. She points out the huge shark head statue and wants to grab it for the Ranch. She says to use the kicker next to the shark and acid drop onto the head to shake it loose. You'll be pointed in the right direction and your launch angle off of the kicker isn't a huge deal. Push R2 when you're over the shark head to acid drop onto the shark. Next, she says to launch up and stall (triangle + R2) on the nose to knock it loose. Again, your launch angle isn't crucial off of the kicker. ========================= F Show up 'The Man' ========================= The guy wants you to take down the Skate Park sign so that the Man can see that he ain't the man. Ollie and then grind on the Skate Park Sign. He'll call out tricks as you grind. If you do enough, the sign will fall. The sign is sort of wavy so it will be hard to jump to change your grind. Try to wait until you can see a spot to jump to to change your grind. If you get off of the thing in a place that will be too tough to get back to the kicker, it will return you to the beginning point. Sometimes it's easier to just jump into the water and be returned automatically to the beginning than skate back there and have to line up the ollie. It is also good to wait for certain tricks of the same type to pile up and then get rid of them all at once. The nose bluntslide is a good example of this. ========================== G Tear Down The Roof ========================== Talk to the freaking out kid who just ate 20 sugar packets. He wants to bring down the roof of the theater in the courtyard. Somehow, by cavemanning off of the roof, you can get this to happen. You'll start on your board so hop off (L1+R1) and run to the edge. Jump out and push L1+R1 as you're in the air to caveman onto the ground. Do this three times and the building will collapse. You've got a new piece for Skate Ranch. ==================================== H Bomb the Hill with Tony Alva ==================================== He say's you have to show off some old school skating moves to really impress him. First you have to pogo (triangle triangle while in a manual) down the hill between the cones. For this part, it really helps to have a lot of speed going into the manual. Next, do the same thing with a handstand (circle circle). Finally, you have to bert slide down the entire ramp. This is the tough one. Here are a couple of tips to help: Keep pushing back and forth really quickly to keep your skater from going out of control. If you fail, actually go back and retry the mission rather than wait and keep trying for your timer to run out. If, during the mission, you select retry mission, you will only have to retry the part that you are currently on. This holds for a lot of the missions in THAW. However, if you let the timer run out and fail the mission, you'll have to do the first two parts again. While they're not super hard, this can be a pain. Finally, the game seems to be pretty lenient as to how far down the ramp you can actually start your trick. It may be that you just have to go across the line at the end while doing it for it to register. ============================ I Scare Away the Carny ============================ Before you start this mission, you need to go back to Hollywood to buy the Alien mask. If you try to start the mission without it, Tony Alva will just send you packing. You can hop on the bus to get back to Hollywood. Go to the clothing store (just the normal one - not any special costume store). The alien suit will be listed under "shirts." Buy it for $150. If you don't have enough cash, you can complete some of the really easy tasks from the hobo. Find him by following the dollar sign on your radar. Once you've got the alien suit, ride the bus back to talk to Tony Alva. Create a new grind trick. An easy one that looks pretty cool is just a handstand for the duration or something. Practice using it. Then go and talk to Tony Alva again. He says to pull your crazy trick on the coaster track right in front of the carny to scare him. Watch out for the coaster car though. Do the created trick (default is up, down, triangle) on the track in front of the carny and land it. Next, go to the opposite side of the ferris wheel from where you started the mission to where the carnie was standing. There is a small lever here. Jump up onto it in a natas spin and do the tricks that they call out. If you don't get a trick right in time, it will tell you that you missed it. Keep an eye on your balance as the number of tricks that you pull will decrease the stability of the meter. The ferris wheel will topple into the water, summoning a boat that will take you to the oil rig. Luckily, you'll be automatically changed out of the Alien Suit. You will now have the light bulb icon on your map for a create a trick spot. ============================ J Pay the Ship Captain ============================ The Captain has used up all his gas cruising for the ladies. So he needs to get some more otherwise you are not going anywhere. You need to earn the money and pay the captain to take you to Mega. So if you have the money, pay him. Otherwise you need to earn money by doing the tagger missions or doing tricks for the guy with the $ icon. To get to the ship head to the lower right corner of the map, you'll see a gap in the railing from where the ferris wheel smashed through. Skate on the left side of the broken railing to get to the ship. ========================================== 4.12 Oil Rig ========================================== ======================= A Feed the Shark! ======================= Go find Mega and talk to him. He wants you to help him feed the pet shark. Make a big bang by grinding on the cleat and acid dropping into a grind on the next cleat. Next, grind the coiled cable and jump at the last second to get onto the cable above the water. Grind this out until there is a gap on the wire. The camera angle will change. Just push jump at the top of the bent upwards portion of the rail. You'll fly above the shark and land on the other side. Don't worry about balancing for the rest; the goal is over. ======================================== B Help Mega blow up the USGA$ sign ======================================== Mega wants to rile up the derrick workers so wants you to create some explosions. He has activated the pipes that cause the three pressure release valves to pop up. Take the lift to the upper level. Do this by just skating forward into the lift. Next, fetch the explosives by grinding on the pipes. Start out and grind the pipe in front of you. Then jump up to the steeper angled grey pipe and grind upwards. Once you slow down and turn the other way, you will see the final valve on the same pipe on which you are already grinding. Hit it to trigger the final part of the mission. Grind on the yellow railing in front of you and jump before the gap. When you hit the railing on the tower, the camera angle will change to a far away shot of you spiraling upward. Just keep an eye on your balance until the camera returns to normal. At the end of the pipe, jump and fly towards the USGA$ sign. Wallplant or sticker slap the sign and the explosives will go off. Now Mega is going back to the Ranch to dig up the old green snake. He tells you to pick up some pieces while you're out here anyway. ================================= C Tear Off the Corner Piece ================================= Talk to the worker. There is a problem with a wedge of concrete, grind the rail sequence to knock it free. First start out grinding the yellow rail to your left. Jump where it says jump, make sure you jump before the turn, otherwise you wont be able to land on the gray wedge. You'll go in another direction. Grind the gray wedge all the way around until it says Jump again, when it does, make sure you jump to the left and grind the yellow railing. ================================ D Drop the Grate and Balls ================================ Talk to the welder. He wants you to climb up to the crane to talk to him again. Get off your board and walk up to the ladder. He tells you about his huge skeet ball course that he has created. Skate down the crane and jump off the kicker at the end. Bank drop onto the cup and jump toward the second cup. Bank drop into this one and finally launch yourself at the wall. Wallplant on the wall to complete the goal. ============================ E Destroy the Antennas ============================ The welder has a funny little smiley face [:-[ next to him. He has messed up the antennaes on three ships by sending out a text message with the rig's computer to his internet girlfriend. You need to go out to the end of the scaffold and spine transfer to the boats. Grind out to the end and jump off onto the quarter pipe. Spine transfer down onto the first boat. Then do a series of spine transfers along the boat until you go over the main antenna. You have to be in the middle of the boat for it to register. If you bail, it isn't hard to get enough speed to keep the spine transfers going. Once you've got the first antenna, spine transfer to the other two boats and get the other two the same way. ================================= F Dismantle the Combo Pipes ================================= The tool pusher is mad at the welder who has placed the wheels out on the pipes where he can't get any leverage to turn them. Grind out onto the pipes starting with the one on the right. Get some speed before you do this. As soon as you hit the right hand wheel, ollie over to the middle pipe. Again, as soon as you hit the wheel, ollie over to the leftmost pipe and grind the wheel there. ============================ G Get off the Oil Rig! ============================ Talk to the tool pusher near the top of the rig. The suspended walkways are a problem with the safety inspector. He wants you to get to the helipad by pretending that the walkways are corroded out. Additionally, the elevators are not working so you can't use them either. Simply head directly to your left, and go up the ramp, follow it as it goes towards the left, and you should see the helipad along with red quarterpipes below it, spine transfer using one of the quarterpipes to get on the helipad. Next, spine transfer over the helipad onto the pipe and smash the seal. You'll fall into the pipe - the conduit back to Santa Monica. You'll receive a text message from Mega saying that the crane that he's been using to dig up the snake run is dead. Go back to the Ranch to meet with him. ========================================== 4.13 Skate Ranch III ========================================== At this point, you should go talk to Mindy and do the combos for the various skate pieces that you've picked up since you were last here. -Ferris Wheel -Control Panel from the Oil Rig -Building Chunks -The stairset from Santa Monica -Santa Monica rooftop -Santa Monica Pier Sign -Modified telescope baloon launcher -Oil rig floor -Storage Tanks -USGA$ Sign -Pipe in a hoole -Chunk of Oil Rig (Focus test combo - seems to register without being in focus) =========================== A Help Mega oil the crane =========================== The crane has locked on him and is rusted over. He needs some help getting the crane oiled. Climb up to the top of the crane and press triangle as you're walking on the top of the crane at the indicated spots. It might help to leave your board behind. To get to the top of the crane, once you've climbed the ladder, walk around to the side and jump up. Press R2 to grab a hold of the ledge and then pull yourself up by pressing up. Do this again to get to the top of the crane. Then be careful to not fall of while you're dodging the wires during this part. ========================================== 4.14 Getting to East LA ========================================== *Note - The following mission takes place in numerous cities so are listed under their own section* The Black Widows, a notorious LA street gang have locked up Boone in a tunnel. You need to get past the black widows to get to Boone. Go downtown and follow the red star to where the Black Widows are hanging out near the tunnel entrance. Talk to them and they'll tell you that true taggers are the only ones allowed in the tunnel. First you have to prove yourself to them. If Hector is cool with you, then these guys are cool with you. Before Hector will talk to you, however, you need to get a Black Widow tattoo on your chest. There is a tattoo parlor in Santa Monica where you can get this done. Get on the bus and head down there. The tattoo parlor is in the same row of stores as the skate shop and is marked by a purple icon. Choose the Black Widow tattoo for your chest and go back downtown. Once there, speak to Hector to start your goal. ================================== A Get the Black Widow Tattoo ================================== Hector tells you that to prove that you're a real Black Widow, you must show that you can skate. Manual down through all of the cones. At the bottom of the hill, the path veers right. At the end, it veers left again to complete the goal. Don't forget to watch your balance while you steer. ============================= B Build an All-City Tag ============================= Once this is complete, you have to go and do all of the tags... Downtown tricky tags: -Climb up on the ladder behind the tagger and hang off the edge to tag the spot. -Go up the halfpipe to the ledge. Walk along the ledge to the spot. -Wallrun up the side of the building near the pipe. Grab on the pipe and pull yourself up. Wallrun again and grab the top of the building. Pull yourself up and hit the tag. -Straight across from you in the distance is a building. Use the halfpipe to get up to the second ledge and find the spot up there. The spot is NOT on the hollywood sign. Unlock Downtown Style: Throw-Ups Hollywood tricky tags: -On the floor right in front of you Unlock Hollywood Style: Stencils Beverly Hills: -On the wall next to the tagger -This one is on top of the green glass roof. Get up there using the advertising kicker and then jump off of your board and grab a hold of the blue pipe. Pull yourself up and immediately jump forward onto the platform with himl. The spot will be next to him. -There is a ladder on the back of the orange building by the skate shop that will allow you to climb up to where he is. Again, the spot will be right next to him. Unlocked Beverly Hills Style: Graphics Santa Monica: -Behind him on the ground -On the wall behind him down toward the skate shop -On the ledge above the halfpipe surrounding the cannon Unlocked Santa Monica Style: Tags You can tell which tagging styles you have unlocked by talking to the tagger and designing your own tag. Under graphics, the styles you have unlocked will be listed with the place in parantheses: Stencils (HO), Graphics (BH), Throw-Ups (DT), Tags (SM). Once you have all four styles, create a graphic using at least one graphic from each of the four categories. Return to Hector. He won't be marked on the map but will be by the bus, bike, and skate shop. Once you have the correct tag, you'll have to tag the four spots around the downtown area that Spat has tagged. You'll need to hurry because he'll come along behind you and cover up your tags. You'll likely need to cover each spot twice before you have them all covered at the same time. If you need to, make sure you know the layout of all four and get a strategy for doing them fast before you make a real try at the mission. You can always retry it over and over so doing trial runs is a good thing here. Once you have gotten all of the tags, Hector says that the final challenge for you to do will be on the BMX. Find his buddy to complete it. ============================= C Prove your BMX skills ============================= You need a bike for this mission. You can find one with the bike icon on the map/compass. The first challenge is to do a tabletop (square) off the kicker. Next you must do a crankflip (up with the right stick). The next challenge is to do a tailwhip (left with the right stick). Finally, you must manual down through the cones and do a wallplant off of the wall at the end. The game doesn't seem to be very picky about where you start your manual as long as you're in a manual when you get to the end. The tunnel to East LA is now open. ========================================== 4.15 East LA ========================================== =============================== A Talk to the Black Widow =============================== Talk to the cholo outside of a store. He tells you about the guy that they beat down (Boone) and shows you his pants that they strung up. You have to board whack the three sprinklers and then grind Boone's pants off of the wire. It can be frustrating here to even find the sprinklers and the board whack doesn't seem to register every time. In the median of the road is a grass area with a green pipe running along it. The sprinklers are the red things sticking out of it. They're hidden by the grass to some extent. Keep whacking with your board (circle) and hopefully you'll hit them. Once you've hit all three, go back up to the top and grind the green pipe down and jump onto a grind on the spear of the statue. This somehow animates the statue and he throws his spear setting off a bizarre series of events that open a hole in Boone's cave. ============================== B Save Boone in East LA! ============================== Find Boone in his tunnel and talk to him through the broken slats. Break the wood open a little more with board whacks (circle while on foot). Then he says to throw him your board (square). This might take a few tries but just keep pressing square and throwing him boards until it registers. He'll hop on and jump out of the now huge hole in the wood into the canal. There will now be several mission options available to you. For this section of the game, the level titlers seem to be enamored of using exclamation marks. **After one of these goals, you'll get a text message from Mega saying that some crazy moron is trying to commandeer his crane. He wants you to come back to the ranch and get the guy off his rig. =========================== C Take the bum's bed! =========================== Dave wants you to take the bum's mattress so that you can have a bed at Iggy's. Apparently, by acid dropping onto it, you somehow get to keep it. Grind on the railing and jump to the yellow pipe. At the end, launch off and acid drop onto the red square. This might take a few tries to get it all lined up. If you're not getting enough air, wait until the very last moment to jump and you'll get a big boost. The bum will be sent catapulting into the air and will also destroy a burned out car. The car parts are now scattered around East LA. You need to find and collect them before the Black Widows come looking for them. This just involves starting a combo by grinding on the curb at the first one and keeping the combo going all the way to the bottom to complete the goal. ===================== D Chopper drop! ===================== To get to this challenge, go through the grate door that is at street level and be transported to the roof. Talk to Boone. Jump up onto the helicopter by jumping near the runner and pressing R2. Wait for it to fly to the first spot. Drop down onto the bank and drop onto the shack by pressing R2. The Black Widows will be pissed that you're stealing it but by busting the flatland tricks in a manual on the top of the shack as it's suspended from the chopper should impress them enough. Finally jump off the small kicker and do a bank drop onto the couch. ====================================== E Grab the Coyote Runner's sign! ====================================== Talk to Murphy and watch Boone eat it on the Coyote Runner's sign. Skate off of the kicker and press R1&L1 to get off your board in mid air. Grab a hold of the sign by pressing R2. If you get too low, jump up to the higher part of the sign. Then grind the sign by jumping off of the kicker. Finally, wallplant the sign to get it to fall. ========================================== 4.16 Skate Ranch IV ========================================== When you get back, you can take the opportunity to do the combos on the newly acquired pieces. Talk to Mindy to do these: -Murphy's Bail Bonds Limo -The Couch -Car Parts -Tool Shed -East LA Sign ========================================= A Keep the repo man away from Mega! ========================================= Talk to Murphy to start this challenge. The repo man keeps trying to climb up the crane. Launch balls at him to keep him off of the crane until Murphy can find enough money to pay off his boss. Once you hit him enough times, he will fall off. This part is kinda hard. You just need to track him steadily up the ladder and make sure that almost all of the balls hit him. There is a little counter at the bottom left of the screen showing you how many you have over how many are needed. Once he falls off, take the bag of money to Hollywood to pay off the boss. You'll get a call from Iggy. You need to get back to the ranch and keep them from digging up the snake run. =============================================== 4.17 Impress the Pros: Beverly Hills =============================================== ======================================== A Get Tony Hawk To Be in the Video ======================================== Find Tony Hawk near the stores in the middle of the level. After you talk some smack to him (you're a little punk!), you'll go up to the roof of the hotel and he'll show you an airwalk/spine transfer. You just need to do the same thing. Get some speed on the quarterpipe and spine transfer with an airwalk over the large pile of rubble to the right. If you just transfer over the area linking the two areas, the transfer won't register for the goal. Next, he shows you the Frontside Hurricane. This is left+triangle+triangle. Grind along the entire length of the stairs. The triik might not register so you may have to do it a few times. It might also not register if it is a FS Hurricane rather than a BS Hurricane. Next, he'll show you a gymnast plant. To do this, just do an inverted lip trick (Down+Triangle) on the ledge and then press Circle+Circle to switch to a gymnast plant. You don't have to hold it for any set amount of time. Finally, he'll show you the 900. Spine transfer over the place indicated and press left then right + circle in the air. You may have to get special before you do this. If the trick isn't registering, you should try to get special and try it out on just the normal quarterpipe where you start. After you complete this goal, there will be goals available in all of the major city locations. These can be done in any order. ============================================ B Impress Deawon So He Joins The Cause ============================================ To convince him to be in the video, you need to double bluntslide the ledge (Down+Left+Triangle+Triangle) and heelflip (Right+Square) into a manual. =========================================== 4.18 Impress the Pros: Hollywood =========================================== ======================================= A Get Rodney Mullen In Your Video ======================================= Talk to Ian outside the school to start this goal. He introduces you to Rodney Mullen. First, he wants you to perform 10 unique tricks over the stairs. If you are having trouble thinking of unique tricks, remember that double tapping buttons will make you do different tricks. Then, you need to design your own trick. Talk to Ian again after you've become very good at throwing your trick quickly. You need to pull it three times in thirty seconds. Make sure you have special before you talk to Ian. ========================================= B Get Andrew Reynolds In Your Video ========================================= First follow Andrew's line to Bronson Park. The pieces you need to hit are glowing yellow. Once there, You will need to take a huge combo into the cave to explode the Hollywood sign. The cave is to the right as you're going up the hill from the main Holllywood area. Get a big combo by manualling and doing flatland tricks after you've busted some huge airs. Manual into the cave (walking while extending your combo multiplier might work too) and you'll be shot out through the sign while it explodes. If it doesn't explode, your combo wasn't big enough. ========================================== 4.19 Impress the Pros: Downtown ========================================== ========================================= A Help Mike V Get Some Sick Footage ========================================= He wants you to do some tricks for his photographer so he can see if you're legit. You have to do these tricks down the stair set in front of the fountain. As you pull the trick, the camera will go into a strange "photo" mode and it will be hard to see what you're doing. Just press the correct button combo and don't worry about looking at it. First land a Triple Impossible (Up+3square). Next, a triple kickflip (Left+3square). Finally, land a triple heelflip (Right+3square). ============================================= B Help Paul Rodriguez Get Back His Gear ============================================= A shipment of his shoes has gotten scattered out of a delivery truck. You need to collect them all before the time runs out. Skate along the pipe between the road and the lower road. Jump across the cross street and continue on the pipe on the other side. Grind around the corner and jump to the curb and again to the halfpipe. Jump into a manual and cross the street to the left. Grind on the far side along the raised concrete section. At the end of this, jump to the yellow fence to the left. Then jump down into a manual and go over to the yellow fence past the boxes on the ground. Grind on the yellow fence around the corner. Just past the corner, jump to the left and up onto a grind on the concrete wall. Grind around the corner onto the awning and further onto the pipes. ===================================== C Photo Gaps with Tony Trujillo ===================================== He needs some sweet footage for Vans. First he needs you to do some grab tricks over a gap. First a melon, then a nosegrab, and finally a tailgrab. Grind the railing and hit ramp at the end. Launch over the sidewalk in slow motion and pull your trick. Land in a grind on the other side. Next, you have to pull a series of spines in one combo. As soon as you land, revert (R2) into a manual and hit the next spine. If you fail the combo, you'll have to do the entire goal over again. =========================================== 4.20 Impress the Pros: Vans Park =========================================== ======================================== A Help Ryan Sheckler Drop The Jeep ======================================== Jump out the window onto the yellow awning. Go straight toward the middle of the girders and grind the pipe in the middle. Grind around the corner and jump to the next pipe. Continue grinding around the next corner and jump off to the left onto the sloping beam. Grind upwards until you lose speed and start going down. Grind downwards and you'll be directed onto another wire heading towards the jeep. Once you're heading towards the jeep, jump onto the round thing above it and natas spin. Hold the spin for a few seconds and the goal will be complete. ========================================== B Show Mat Hoffman You've Got Skills ========================================== To impress Mat, you've gotta show off your BMX skills. First, you have to do three flairs. To do a flair you need to do a backflip and a 180 while in the air. Don't try to just pull backwards on the stick to do a backflip. It won't work. Push L2 while pulling back on the stick to do a backflip in the air. Also give it a push right or left to do the 180. It might take a few tries to get this one down. Next you need to tire tap and do a decade. Press R2 while you're in the air and then once you're in a tire tap, press either right or left on the right stick. Finally, you need to do some doubles tricks with Hoffman on your board and you on his bike. He'll skate back and forth int he halfpipe and do short liptricks. You'll need to do a number of unique tricks on the bike in the air over him while he is in the lip trick. Timing on this one is crucial. Get into his rhythm and try to launch as he's getting on the lip. Once you've done enough unique tricks (up, down, left or right on the analog stick to name a few), he'll agree to be in your video. You have a lot of time for this goal so hopefully if you get synched with him, it won't be a problem. Remember, if you're getting close to failing the time limit, just retry the goal before you fail it so you don't have to do the first parts over again. ============================================== 4.21 Impress the Pros: Santa Monica ============================================== ================================== A Doubles with Bob Burnquist ================================== First, you need to hold a lip trick on the ramp while Bob does a trick over you. Any lip trick will work here. Next, you need to find Bob. He'll have a pink star that you can find on your compass and will be standing outside of the tattoo shop. After you talk to him, you'll need to trick over him while he is holding a lip trick. After you do this, he'll run off to the end of the pier. Find him here for the final trick. You'll need to grind the pipe out to the building on the end of the pier and get into a lip trick. You'll be interrupted by a cutscene after you get into your lip trick. After the cutscene, you'll see a balance meter again. Hold the trick until he tricks over you. Land it to complete the goal. ====================================== B Show Tony Alva You're Hardcore ====================================== You have to ride in the bowl and do the tricks he calls out. For the first part, you just have single tricks to pull. For the second, you have to do two at once. For the third, he gives you a list of tricks you need to pull in one combo. If there are too many, you could try retrying the goal to see if you get a bunch that are the same. Link them together using revert to manuals. ========================================= 4.22 Impress the Pros: East LA ========================================= ==================================== A Nollies With Stevie Williams ==================================== To impress him, you have to do a nollie (press L2 before you jump) from one kicker to another. It won't register if you are even a little bit short (even if the gap registers). For all of these challenges, if you're running short on time, just retry the challenge from the start menu. That way you won't have to repeat some of the more annoying jumps so far in the game. Just try jumping later if you're having trouble clearing the gap. Next, you have to nollie and then hardflip (up + left + square) over the gap to the storage container. Again, if you're having trouble hitting this gap, try jumping later and experimenting with your angle of takeoff. Next, you have to nollie hardflip over another gap, land in a manual along the roof and jump to the other side. Next, do a nollie plus triple heelflip (Right+3square) off the ramp on the roof onto the ramp on the street. This can be a really hard jump to make. Don't use the angle at which you're started facing. Instead make sure you launch of the furthest, highest section of the ramp in the correct direction to hit the ramp below. Finally, you have to pull a boned ollie over the gap onto the storage shed. First jump over the small gap and follow the wall around the curve. Jump off of the roof extension and press x again while you're in the air. This should be done pretty quickly after you've taken off. You can practice the timing on the first little jump. Your jump should be essentially perpendicular to the edge of the roof extension. If you follow the curve of the wall closely, you'll come out at the right angle to make this gap. ===================================== B Bam Margera's Crazy Challenge ===================================== To impress him, you have to first do (what he says is a switch) backside tailslide (Right and triangle) down the ledge. Next do a backflip (circle+down+down) over him while he holds a liptrick. Finally, you have to do a stall (triangle+R2) a moving shopping cart. Hold the stall while the cart races down the hill. Once it hits the bottom, the goal will be complete. This will open up a mission (Pay the Taco Truck Girl) to get to the casino. ============================== C Smash Into the Casino! ============================== Talk to the Taco Truck girl and pay her $100 to smash down the gate to the casino. ========================================== 4.23 Casino ========================================== ============================== A Aim At the Old Ladies! ============================== Use the modified telescope airgun to shoot the old ladies that showed up at the casino. Not very difficult. Just keep firing away at them. ====================================== B Transfer Your Special to Boone ====================================== All you have to do here is keep getting special and transferring it to Boone by pressing circle when there is a little dialogue box telling you to. By far, the easiest way to do this is to keep busting flatland tricks until your special meter is full and then landing them and transfering the special to Boone. You can stay right next to him this way and his meter will never be in danger of falling. Also, getting special doing flatland tricks is very easy; it shouldn't take more than a few tricks to have the special meter glowing. =================================== C Knock Down the Flood Light! =================================== Iggy wants the floodlight for the ranch. You have to do here is do a vert wallplant on the lights above the pool. They will be directly behind where you are facing when you start the goal. Just get up a ton of speed here and get up to them. Do a vertical walplant (Up+Triangle) when you get up to them. If you're having trouble getting enough air, try a boneless or try to go through the black door up to the roof and acid dropping into the pool. Next, you have to do a To-Tail when you're on the way down. The lights will be lower here so it should be much easier to get enough air to reach them. On the way back down past them, press down+triangle to hit them with the tail of your board. ========================== D Get the Triple 777 ========================== First, jump onto the glowing wire in front of you and do a stall (R2+Triangle). Do the trick modifiers that Murphy calls out. Finally, grind up the wire and around the 777 machine seven times. =================================== E Wreck the Trippy Pool Thing =================================== Iggy wants the crazy thing that's hanging over the pool for the ranch. First, climb up the diving board and acid drop into the pool below. Then spine transfer into the next pool. Finally you have to stall (R2+triangle) on the wire above. ================================== F Spine Over David and Boone ================================== First, you have to spine over Dave and do a kickflip. Then spine from that pool over Boone doing a triple kickflip. ========================== G Grab All the Chips ========================== You have to collect all of the casino chips before the time runs out. It is best to do the first roof section in one big combo. You have a TON of time to complete this goal so just be patient. Start off grinding on the wall. Jump to the light fixture and then over to the right side of the catwalk. Jump from the catwalk to another catwalk. Grind all the way around the end and around another arm until you have to jump to a new catwalk. Grind around this catwalk until this area is clear. Then ride up the other set of escalators (not the ones with Murphy at the top) and into the area beyond. There will be a number of chips here. Then go into the elevator and explore the roof area. The rest of the chips will be up here scattered around. The one that is hard to find is in the air way above one of the pools. ========================================== 4.24 The Final Mission ========================================== When you return to East LA, it will automatically trigger a cutscene and a goal. You'll need to get back to the Ranch while avoiding the cops. If you try to go some way that you're not supposed to, the cops will just push you to the ground. Grind the pipe leading over the hill. You'll be flung into East LA. From here, ride down the street down the hill and duck into the ditch on either the right or the left side of the street, avoiding the cop. Go into the entrance leading back to downtown. Follow the red star through downtown and go down the escalators into the Hollywood tunnel. From there, follow the red star up the escalators and over to the escalators to beverly hills. Skate down the block to the entrance to skate ranch. Skate up the skate ranch tunnel to the ranch. Congratulations, you've just finished Story Mode! ========================================== 4.25 Skate Ranch V ========================================== Triple 7: You have to jump onto the upper ring and grind on it for it to register this piece. Rails: From the weird pool piece Spotlight: Bank-Roulette wheel ========================================== 5. Classic Mode ========================================== **NOTE - In Classic Mode several of the goals will be combo goals, because we cannot walk you through combos, you will have to do it yourself. The goals will be listed but not explained. Also note that you do not need to complete ALL the goals within the time limit. You can complete some, and then get the rest later. Also note that the goals and scores listed are for normal mode. The goals and scores will be different for Sick mode.* ========================================== 5.1 Minneapolis ========================================== Goals: 10 Gaps: 20 Stats: 5 ====== Scores ====== High Score - 30 000 Points Pro Score - 60 000 Points Sick Score - 100 000 Points High Combo - 10 000 Points ===== Goals ===== 1. -> + O over the Fountain.

This one will take a large chunk off your time limit. From where you start, keep skating down the road, dont make any turns, follow the main road. Eventually you'll pass by a series of kickers and come upon a truck. Jump through the glass using the back of the truck, and follow the hallway out onto a rooftop. Once on the roof, you'll see a ramp. Go up the ramp and you'll see quarterpipes lining the rooftop, but there will be a gap in one. Use the quarterpipes to gain speed, and use the ramp to get to the rooftop on the left. The secret tape is on the ramp in the lower left corner of the building. ===== SKATE ===== S. From where you start, jump the ramp on the left to recieve the S. K. From where you start, keep heading down the same road to grab the K, its above the bus stop on the right side.

From where you got the A, just keep heading down the road until you see a quarterpipe with arrows on it, use it to get the T. E. Once you have the T, keep heading down the road in front of you, past all the kickers until you get to a truck. Jump the truck to get the E. ===== COMBO ===== Grind down the railing containing C and O. Jump into a manual (Up+Down) and collect the M and B. Jump over the little fountain to get the O. =========== Stat Points =========== 1. From where you start, take the first right a Stat Point above the end of the ramp towards the street. Jump the ramp and collect it. 2. From the fountain, head up to the large billboard in front of you, a Stat Point is directly in front of it. 3.

The second barrier is on this ramp. 3. From where you jumped 2, head to the left to see another ramp leading back to street level. The third barrier is on this ramp. 4. When you're back on street level, you'll see a quarterpipe with arrows on it. Get on this platform and you'll see a blue ramp against the wall with a barrier on it. Jump it. 5. If you're facing the wall with the barrier in front of it, take a left and head down the road. You should pass the intersection you originally started from. Keep heading down that road and take the second right. You'll see the barrier on a raised platform. Use the quarterpipe to gain air, then do a spine transfer (R2) + X to get over the barrier and finish the goal. ========================================== 5.2 Santa Cruz ========================================== Goals: 10 Gaps: 20 Stats: 5 ====== Scores ====== High Score - 65 000 points Pro Score - 130 000 points Sick Score - 200 000 points High Combo - 30 000 points ===== Goals ===== 1. + O Grab over the Bleachers.

The secret tape is on the movie theatre marquee. From where you start, turn around and take 2 lefts, the movie theatre is the second building on the right. 4. Knock the shoes down. 1) Go all the way down the first street you started on by the pier. To the right will be some small buidlings that look like bathrooms. Go up the side and grind onto the wire upwards. The first pair will be on this wire. 2) As soon as you get 1), jump right onto the other wire and grind along until you get to the next pair of shoes. If you can, keep grinding for a while more until you get to 3). If you fall off here, don't be discouraged: there is another way to get 3). 3) From where you start, turn immediately right and ride up the street. Hit the quarterpipe underneath the line with multicolored flags and get into a grind. As you go around the corner, jump off onto the wire across from you. Grind along this until you hit the shoes. 4) On the pier, jump off of the first set of quarterpipes into a grind on the wire above, going left. Stay in the grind until you get to the shoes. 5) From where you start, skate straight forward along the street and take a right at the street that bisects the level. Next to the far door of the shop is a quarterpipe. Launch off this into a grind on the roof above. From there, jump into a grind on the wire and grind around the corner onto the shoes. ===== SKATE ===== S. From where you start, turn around and take a left, head straight into the next park. In that park you can find the S above the volleyball net. Use the ramp on the net to get the S. K. The K is in front of the movie theatre on the bench. From where you start, turn around, take a left, and then another left. A. The A is on the left side of the stairs. Head straight from your starting point and then take your first right, run up the stairs and jump off the edge of one of the landing areas to get the A. T. The T is in the skatepark, on the stairs where you jumped to get the A, jump to the other side and go into the halfpipe at the end of the court. The T is on the left side. E. The E is just north of your starting point on the white railing going down the pier. ===== COMBO ===== Jump up from the little brown box next to the booth up onto the wire with C. Jump on the wire to the left to get O. Jump to the right wire for M and quickly to the left one for B. Before the end, jump off to get O. =========== Stat Points =========== 1. From where you start, jump to the beach on your left and you'll see a stat point near one of the blue beach umbrellas. 2. From where you start, take the first right, and go up the stairs, then jump into the skate park on your left. You'll see a stat point in the air. Do a front tuck off the landing area on the halfpipe to get this stat point. 3. From where you start, skate up to the red striped ramp on your right, and get on the roof. Wall run up the wall in front of you until you're on a red ledge. There is a ramp on this red ledge on your right, so head to the left and aim yourself to the right, skate down the ledge and use the ramp to gain air and launch you into the stat point. 4. From where you start, turn around and take a left. Head straight into the next park. You can find the stat point in the snake run. 5. Head to the end of the pier. If you look over the quarterpipe you'll see a rope, and along the rope the last stat point. You need to jump off the pier and grind the rope to get this one. If you follow the rope you will not be out of bounds. ========================================== 5.3 The Mall ========================================== Goals: 10 Gaps: 13 Stats: 5 ====== Scores ====== High Score - 100 000 points Pro Score - 200 000 points Sick Score - 300 000 points High Combo - 60 000 points ===== Goals ===== 1. Up+Square over the 16 Set. (The giant stairs leading to the lower level of the Mall.) When you head into the mall, the stairs are on the left side. 2. (Left analog stick bottom right) + O over the escalator. 3. Get the secret tape. After the first big room with the fountain and sculpture (where COMBO starts) skate to the right but don't go down the stairs or ramp. Instead skate along past the jeep and jump off of the ramp at the end onto a grind on the large metal railing suspended over the room below. Jump into a grind onto the twin railing to the left and hold it until you get to the tape. 4. Smash 5 directories. 1. The first directory is just North of you when you first smash through the glass into the actual Mall. Head up the escalator to find it. 2. Another directory is on the path North from the first one. When you enter the Mall, take the escalator up, where you'll pass by Directory #1, and follow the arrows on the ramps. This will lead you past a Fountain Gap. Keep going to get to the 2nd directory. 3. Go past the double pool to break the 3rd directory. Its just behind the planter with the green shrubs. 4. Head down the second set of escalators (The ones you are suppose to jump over) to find the 4th directory in the middle of the mall. 5. The last directory is on the outside part of the mall. ===== SKATE ===== S. From where you start, head down a level and use the ramp to get the S suspended in the air. K. The K is just behind the waterfall to the left of the COMBO letters. Head past the escalator to get there. A. The A is in the double pool downstairs. Take the ramp on the right side of the mall to get down there. T. Head down the second set of escalators (The ones you are suppose to jump over), and past the 4th directory to find the T on top of one of the gray statues. It acts as a ramp so just skate or run up it. E. The E is just past the outside part of the mall. When you make the jump back inside its right in front of the display on the top level. ===== COMBO ===== To get to the combo, head into the mall and go past the left side of the escalator without going up. You'll see the letters before you. Grind the rail to get the letters 'C' and 'O', then when you have the O, jump into a manual, and keep your balance while you get the letters 'M', 'B' and another 'O'. =========== Stat Points =========== 1. The first stat point is downstairs. Go down the huge stairs on your left, and you'll see a Stat point in the middle of the hall. 2. At the end of the pool where you found the A, is a stat point. Take the ramp on the right side of the mall to get to the pool. 3. Break into the store to the right of the 2nd stat point to get the third one. 4. This stat point is on the outside part of the mall, right before you make the jump back inside. 5. This one is actually right above you from where you start. Go up the quarterpipe and wallride, then do a wallie (X while wallriding) to get even higher and get the stat point. ========================================== 5.4 Chicago ========================================== Goals: 10 Gaps: ?? Stats: 5 ====== Scores ====== High Score - 125 000 points Pro Score - 250 000 points Sick Score - 400 000 points High combo - 80 000 points ===== Goals ===== 1. Do a (Down) + Square + Square Flip over the Whoop Gap. The Whoop Gap is where the T is located. 2 white railings over a gap. Its to the right of where you start. You can use the quarterpipe against the far wall to gain speed to clear the gap. I believe you have to clear the whole gap if you want to complete the goal. 2. Backflip (O+Down+Down) the Pool Hip. The Pool is in the upper right corner of the area, so head into it. Its shaped like a backwards C, so head to the top edge of the pool, and you'll see two sets of arrows, these outline the path you should follow to properly get the Pool Hip gap. So gain some air, and when you're in the air ready to jump the hip, press R2, and then O+Down+Down to do a backflip. *Note - If you gain the stat point while attempting this, it wont work. You'll have to try again* 3. Get the secret tape. From where you start, immediately turn around and take a left, then head up the quarterpipe to the ledge. Run to the left and smash the announcement booths glass. The tape is inside the booth. Or you can just turn around the second you start the level and wall run up and through the glass into the booth. 4. Boned Ollie (X+X) the wall. The Wall is right in front of where you start. It had the C over it from COMBO. You just have to jump over this. Keep in mind you have to clear the whole thing, including the ramp. So you cant use that to get air, otherwise you wont complete the goal even if you complete the gap. ===== SKATE ===== S. The S is just to the left of where you start the level. K. The K is on the halfpipe in the upper left corner from where you start the level. A. Head North to the ledge on the wall from your starting point, then head to the middle of the ledge to find the A. T. Either head South from where you got the A to the white railings, where you can grind it to get the T, or just head to the right from your starting point. E. From your starting point, the E would be in the upper right area of the map, near the edge of the pool area. ===== COMBO ===== Grind on the railing for C and O. Then jump off into a manual and hit M. Keep going with speed up the ramp for M. Transfer in the air to the left to the halfpipe and revert into a manual when you land. Go up the other side of the pipe for the O. =========== Stat Points =========== 1. Right next to the S is a stat point. Just take a left the second you start the level to find the stat point. 2. From where you got the first one, head North into the halfpipe (The one where you got the K from SKATE), and go on the landing area on the top half of the halfpipe. A stat point is sitting there. 3. When you start the level, immediately take a left, and then another left. Use the quarterpipe to get onto the ledge behind you. The stat point is sitting there. 4. From your starting point, head directly all the way to the right to get the stat point above the quarterpipe. 5. This one is located over the Pool Hip. The Pool is in the upper right area, and is shaped like a backwards C, so head to the top edge of the pool, and you'll see two sets of arrows, these outline the path you should follow to properly get the Pool Hip gap. So gain some air, and when you're in the air ready to jump the hip, press R2 to transfer and get the stat point. ========================================== 5.5 Kyoto ========================================== Goals: 10 Gaps: ?? Stats: 5 ====== Scores ====== High Score - 165 000 points Pro Score - 325 000 points Sick Score - 500 000 points High Combo - 100 000 points ===== Goals ===== 1. Do a + Square) flip over the lil' 4. The lil' 4 is a little stairset leading into the area to the right of where you start. just do the trick while in the air over it. you don't have to be going fast as it's not a hard jump. 2. Frontflip (O + Up + Up) over the Table. Just do an air over the table that is leaning against the side of the pool and do a frontflip while you're in the air. 3. Get the secret tape. To get to the secret area and secret tape, go to the trees on the far side of the level from where you start. Skate through one of them to break it down. The tree will fall, opening a tunnel to the secret area. The secret tape is just on the other side. 4. Lip Trick (Triangle) the 3 Extensions. The first one is on the edge of the pool if you skate left from where you start and is shown first in the goal video. The second is around the corner and is a trashbin perched over the edge of the pool. The third one is a little tricky to find but is in the main pool area. If you skate a little left from where you start, the closest thing will be a a little wall with quarterpipes on two sides. The wall has two levels. At the end, at the higher level, liptrick the tip to get the extension. ===== SKATE ===== S. On the top of the big sign behind you when you start. Use the funbox to launch into a wallgrind and then wallie up to a grind on the roof to get it. K. On the crossbar above the cloverleaf pool at the far end of the park. You can get it in the air but if you're having problems, just wallrun up the pole and jump up to get it. A. In the air above the thin divider between two arms of the main pool area T. On the crossbar straight ahead of where you start. Air from the pool area to reach it. E. On a crossbar above the are to the right of where you start. Launch off the inclined surface to get it. ===== COMBO ===== Grind the rail with the C. Jump into a manual and jump onto the rail with the O. At the end of this, avoid the picnic table and manual your way to the rail with the M. From here, jump left to a grind on the ledge of the planter and then again down onto the edge of the stairset. Jump onto the rail with the B and continue along that rail. At the end, jump off onto a manual on the top of the funbox and then jump again really quickly into another manual toward the last O. Jump up there to get it and complete the goal. =========== Stat Points =========== 1. Aabove the funbox 2. On a lip in the main pool/halfpipe area 3. Above a trash bin 4. On the edge of the trees 5. In the secret area ========================================== 7. Online Mode ========================================== This is just the walkthrough for hosting a game, the rest is simple and the features are those of GameSpy Arcades. If you have an account you should be familiar with those features. *Note - The stats of your skater will be the ones of your skater in classic mode.* ============================== 7.1 Hosting a Game ============================== [Name]: Default is Neversoft. Make the name whatever you want. Its what players will see when they view the Join Game list. [Level]: This is the location of where you'll play. Any levels that you have unlocked on your memory card from Story Mode and Classic Mode will be available. [Players]: You can play with up to 8 people. Usually 8 people are allowed into any game because of the low amount of available players, but if you want to limit yourself you can. [Observers]: These are people who wont actually be skating with you, but can view what any of the players are doing. You can choose to keep observers out of your game or to allow only one in to watch. [Teams]: You can choose to partner up with other players and collectively try to win the game, or just do a free for all. The maximum number of teams is 4. Depending on how many people are in the game, you may not be able to have the amount of teams you'd like. [Skill Level]: No real point to this. [Rank Restriction]: For those with GameSpy profiles, winning games will earn them a higher rank. You can choose to limit the ranks of people you play with so the competition is fair and you dont have the higher skilled players just stomping the newbies. [Rank Limit]: If you chose to have a Rank Restriction, then you can choose the ranks you want to be able to join the game. Either less than if you want fair competition or greater than if you want a challenge. [Password]: If you and your friends want to play a private game without any public players joining, you can select a password and keep your game private. [Ready]: Starts the game :P ========================== 7.2 Game Modes ========================== Game: Trick Attack Objective: Basically a competition to see who can rack up the highest score in the given amount of time selected by the host of the game. You can choose to stop the game at 0 or keep on going. Game: Graffiti Objective: Vandalize, vandalize, vandalize! Whoever tags the most objects in the given amount of time, wins. You cant just use Triangle while walking however, you have to use the sticker slap to tag objects. (Jump at a while and press X when close to it to slap a sticker on it and push away). Game: Elimiskate Objective: Similar to the Tony Hawk's AMJAM competition, or actually exactly like it. You can choose to use points for scoring or how many tags you can do. you have to score as many points/tags as you can within the time limit. Unlike Trick Attack, there is more than a single round. The skater with the lowest score or amount of tags at the end of the round is eliminated until only 1 player is left. You can also use cumulative scoring, so the scores add up each round, or reset the scores so everyone has a fair chance at the start of each new round. Game: Score Challenge Objective: Basically like Trick Attack, except instead of a time limit there is a score limit. You have to be the first one to get that score to win. How long that takes depends on the skill level of all players involved. You can play using points or tags. Game: Combo Mambo Objective: Get the biggest combos you can. Whoever has pulled off the biggest combo at any point during the time limit wins. You can use tags or point. Game: Slap! Objective: Slap the other players. You dont need to get off your board and actually do a board whack. You just need to get within striking distance. Whoever has the most slaps at the end of the time limit wins. Game: Pot O' Gold Objective: Probably one of the most entertaining games, a player will be in possession of a 'Pot O' Gold'. They will be designated by an actual pot of gold icon over their head. You can only score while in possession of the gold. Getting too close to another player will force you to give up the gold, which is why its important to avoid falling. You'll be fairly defenceless. You can either use a time limit or score limit (the game ends when a player gets a high enough score). Instead of scores, you can also use tags. Same rules apply, you can only add to your points by tagging while you have the gold. An arrow will point out where the gold is currently located. Game: Capture the Flag Objective: Just like the real life game, the objective is to steal the other teams flag without being caught, and return it to your own base. Game: King of the Hill Objective: Same as the Pot O' Gold game, except this time you dont need to score or tag anything. You just need to be in possession of the crown for a set amount of time. The time is cumulative so you dont need to hold it consecutively. The arrow will point out where the crown is currently located, and the player holding the crown will have a K next to their name. Game: Scavenger Hunt Objective: You have to find the most objects by the end of the time limit to win. The host will have 2 minutes to place the objects around the map for players to find. Game: FireFight Objective: You have to launch fireballs at the other players. Each player starts out with 100 health and getting hit with a fireball will lower the amount of health you have. Last player standing wins. You can choose to have friendly fire on or off. (Friendly fire is whether you want to be able to give or take damage from a teammate or have it not counted). Game: Goal Attack Objective: Pretty much like an online classic mode. The host will choose a set of goals for the players to try and achieve. First one to complete all of the goals wins. ========================================== 8. Frequently Asked Questions ========================================== What are the differences between the Collectors Edition and the regular version? You get two secret characters. 80's Tony Hawk and 70's Tony Alva. You also get two exclusive classic mode levels (Marseilles from THPS2 and Atlanta from THUG2 Remix), plus a box cover, and a 'making of' feature with concept art. Why do Sponsor Challenges max out at 40/70? No one is quite sure of this right now. But the theory is that you were only intended to gain one stat point for each challenge but instead you would sometimes gain two stat points, and when you earned all your points, the challenges stopped. Which screwed up the totals. Do you know of any cheat codes like perfect balance or infinite specials? No one currently knows of any cheat codes for the game. When cheat codes are found, if any even exist, they will be posted on GameFAQs.com It wont let me into any of the shops? What do I do? Not being allowed into a shop is a common glitch in this game and there are 3 ways to fix this. 1) The most obvious option is to save and restart your console and hope it fixes itself. 2) The other is to first save the game under a new file name, and then try loading that. 3) If those two fail, you may just have to restart your game from a new file. ========================================== 9. Glitches ========================================== If you fail the mission by running out of the area during the "Change Your Clothes" mission, talking to Mindy will fail you for not having completed the mission. The problem with this is that you will *always* fail and not be able to restart the mission. This is a random glitch, so be careful. Its not a loss if you have to restart the game. During the first mission with the graffiti artist, sometimes trying to create your own tag, and then trying to talk to the tagger will result in a game freeze. In the "Get the Green Top" mission in BH, the mission will sometimes end before the meter is full. When buying the Alien Suit for 'Scare Away The Carny', it will not allow you to purchase the suit if you have exactly $150. ========================================== 10.
