1: Foreword
============
Just a few words to start off this walkthru of mine. I will try to explain to
you the best ways to complete all of the gaps in this game since I did. All
gaps in this game must be completed in "Road Tour" in order to count for gap
completion for The Mime. Gaps completed anywhere else can be done, but it
does not work for obtaining The Mime. You could use the other modes in order
to see if you can even do the gaps. If you could, then you should do it in
"Road Tour". It is a waste of time to me though. I'd rather practice in "Road
Tour" so that if I get the gap, I don't need to do it again. I will make
periodic references to the goals in this game in order to help you find the
gap and / or gap area easier. If you cannot complete all of the goals in this
game at least once with any biker, bike, or with knowledge to do the goals
(meaning that you have to know how to execute and complete the goals with
anybody and everybody), you will probably not be able to complete the gaps.
Once you are able to do that, then you should have no problem completing all
of the gaps with everybody. This is when you should read through and follow
the directions in this walkthru.
This is my first walkthru and my directions may be quite confusing. If they
are, just try to do your best to do the gap. If you don't understand my
directions, just try to find it on your own. This shouldn't be too hard since
I found them all within a day or two. Completing all of the gaps will unlock
the secret character of The Mime without the use of cheats (Unlock Mime Cheat
(below)) (you can use cheats if you want, but none will do much for gap
completion except Perfect Balance cheat which will make your grind / stall
gaps 100% easier). I believe that the effort needed to complete the gaps is
ridiculous since you can not play in "Road Tour" with The Mime or any other of
the secret characters in the game (Day Smith, Vanessa, Big Foot, or Volcano).
I have heard rumors of having to complete all goals / secrets / gaps to unlock
the Mime, but this is just rumor. I did all of the gaps after all of the
secrets were found by me and I got the Mime without all of the goals having
been completed. The Mime will unlock after you have gotten all of the gaps in
this game. I believe that you need to go to the Main Menu area before the
words show that you have unlocked the Mime. I don't really remember because I
wrote this walkthru after I had already completed all the gaps. I then did all
of the gaps again for you, so that you can do them all too. Just to clear
things up. After I completed my last gap in Tiki Park, HI, the words did not
show that I unlocked the Mime. Since I had unlocked three other secret
characters (Day Smith, Venessa, and Big Foot), I went to go to the "Free Ride"
mode to see if I had the Mime. Once I went to the Main Menu area the words
appeared that I had unlocked the Mime, and I checked to make sure, and I had
Day Smith, Venessa, Big Foot, and the Mime along with the other normal bikers
in "Free Ride" mode.
In order to complete the Gap gaps, you will need to do any aerial trick (flip
or grab) while executing the gap. If I state a gap by saying that you must go
or transfer from one quarterpipe or halfpipe to another, I actually mean that
you should transfer from one quarterpipe or halfpipe lip to another. If you do
not execute a trick or transfer from one quarterpipe lip to the other
quarterpipe lip, you probably will not get the gap. This rule does not apply
to all Gap gaps, but it does apply to most of them. It's just easier to say to
do a trick while completing the gap so that you can be assured that you will
get the gap. It isn't that hard to do a trick transferring over a gap. Also,
if you do not get the gap following my directions, just make sure that you are
executing an aerial trick from one lip to another. If you still can't get the
gap, you're hopeless, because as I stated I have completed all the gaps in
this game at least twice so I am certain that my directions are correct.
Also, in order to get the Grind gaps (gaps listed under Grind), you will need
to do one continuous grind, unless there is gap in between the pieces that you
must grind, then those would be called grind-gaps (listed under Gap gaps(you
should not need to execute a trick in between these gaps)).
While trying to do the stall gaps, you will need to press and hold the
triangle button right before the place that you would need to stall and hold
that stall for about 5 seconds until the name of the gap comes up on the
screen. You must remember this piece of information. This is because some
stalls do not look like you can even reach the stall point (such as the
Insane Awning Stall in Los Angeles), but believe me, you can stall on those
points as long as you press and hold the triangle button right before you
stall on the stall point. While trying to complete the stall, some stall areas
have other stall points above, below, or above and below the stall point. If
you stall above or below the stall point, you usually will not get the stall
completed. Stalls in my walkthru will be listed underneath Grind since this is
the way that the game is also set-up.
I am doing this walkthru so that those of you who do not want to take up the
time of your day in order to find the gaps on your own or need help for excess
stress and / or frustration or undue abuse on your controller and / or
Playstation 2 console. I am not including my e-mail address so that you could
ask me questions about other things than gaps or my walkthru. I do not have
time to answer those questions. I will entertain questions pertaining to the
gaps or things about my walkthru. If I deem that your question is something
other than that, you will not get a response. If I do send you a response, you
will get it back within a week or two since I am busy doing more important
things. Before I get any questions about the gaps, let me state that I have
described the gaps to the best of my ability and that all the gaps are
correct. I am sure about this because I have done every gap in this game at
least twice (once to unlock the Mime on my own, and a second time so that I
will be able to describe how to get the gap for all of you). If you don't get
the gap, try and try again until you do. Anyways, when you look for and try to
complete the gaps on your own, you will become a better and more skilled
player. I am already an excellent player because of my video game experience
and my skills. I usually use walkthrus, but I was forced to do this on my own
since I could not find another gap walkthru other than my own.
If you want to quickly jump to a certain section of the walkthru just push
Control + F. Then push 1COD to get to the search codes section. It will be
with the Table of Contents. Next to each section will be a search code. Enter
the correct code to get to the section in the Table of Contents. Then just
enter the code again after pushing Control + F to get to your desired section.
Each code will be 4 characters long (one number then three capital letters).
This is the "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Complete Gap Walkthru for Playstation 2".
Enjoy!

2: OK City, OK (22 gaps / grinds)   [1OKC]
===========================================
For some of these gaps you will need to go to the warehouse area. You can open
the warehouse area by doing the "Unlock the Warehouse" Amateur Goal. The
warehouse area will be through the doors along the wall on your right from
where you start the level.
======================
2-1: 12 Gaps   [2OKC]
======================
Dakota Gap (800 pts)
--------------------
The Dakota Gap is a combination of Gaps One and Two. When you start, go to
your right and face the quarterpipe along the right wall. You should see a red
rail to the left of you. You will be facing the wall that has the warehouse
doors on it. Go up that quarterpipe, catch some air, come back down and do a
trick going over the whole funbox-type thing that will be directly ahead of
you after you come down the quarterpipe. You should be trying to go from right
to left or left to right of where you start.
Dakota Transfer (3000 pts)
--------------------------
The Dakota Transfer is a somewhat difficult gap to get. It will be easiest to
do it the way that I explain. What you need to do is to go off of the tongue
and get to the walkway. Now, face towards the tongue (or the back wall of
where  you start). Go forward left or right to get to the quarterpipe along
the back wall. The tunnel will be on your left if you went right, or it will
be on your right if you went left. Now what you need to do is to transfer from
one quarterpipe to the next, going over the platform that the tunnel goes
through. When you transfer over the platform, you will need to execute a trick
in order for the gap to get completed. This might take you a few tries. Just
keep at it and you will get it.
Gap One (800 pts)
-----------------
You will have to do a perfect 360 nothing over this gap for one of your goals.
If you still do not know, I will try to explain. Gap One is to the right of
you when you start. Get off of the platform that you are on when you start by
going to your right. When you are on the ground, look at the back wall. There
should be a tunnel on your right and a long quarterpipe directly ahead of you
and continuing along the right hand wall (left hand wall, if you are facing
the back). To get the gap catch some air off of the quarterpipe, come back
down, and do a trick while jumping over the funbox-type thing ahead of you.
Gap Two (800 pts)
-----------------
This gap is just like Gap One, but it is to the left of where you start
instead of to the right. You also do not need to do a goal that includes this
gap. Go to the left of where you start and the tunnel will be on your left
when you are facing the quarterpipe that you need to get air off of. To get
the gap go off of the quarterpipe along the back, get some air, come down, and
do a trick while jumping over the funbox-type thing in front of you.
Mcspliff Transfer (1000 pts)
----------------------------
This gap is relatively easy. In order to get it, you will need to go into the
warehouse. When you do, you will need to get to the back wall of it. When you
are there, go up the roll-in that is there to get to a little room with the
green conveyer belt on your right, a quarter pipe ahead of you with a pipe on
the wall above it, and a small quarterpipe and two kickers behind you along
with the roll-in that you came up. To get the gap you need to transfer from
the quarterpipe that is in front of you, go over the green conveyer belt on
your right while doing a trick, and come down the quarterpipe on the other
side of the conveyer belt.
Roll-in Transfer (800 pts)
--------------------------
When you start the level, you will see a little ramp (tongue) in front of you.
Go off of that tongue to the walkway. You will be in a part of the walkway
that will have a quarterpipe on your left continuing all the way around to you
right. In between a part of the quarterpipe on your right will be a roll-in.
This is a ramp. It will break the quarterpipe on your right. To get the gap
you need to do a transfer from one part of the quarterpipe, over the roll-in
while doing a trick, and down on the other part of the quarterpipe.
Tongue Air (500 pts)
--------------------
Do you see the ramp that is directly in front of you with the R inside a
circle when you start? If you do, you have found the tongue. All that you have
to do is pull a trick while jumping from the tongue to get this gap. Simple.
Big Bowl Air (600 pts)
----------------------
As soon as you start this level, go over the tongue and down to the walkway
directly in front of it. Go over the quarterpipe on your left side and fall
into the bowl. Once in the middle of the bowl, look to your left and notice
the roll-in separating the complete bowl. To get this gap you must go up the
roll-in with some degree of speed and execute a trick when you go over the
roll-in to get to the walkway next to Gap Two. This should be enough. I have
also found another way to do this gap, although you will need to hold a long
grind, but you will not need to execute a trick to get this gap. This method
will give you two gaps for the price of one! Do the Commando Grind. Once you
are at the end of the pipe, just jump onto the light fixture and grind that
object to the end. Once at the end of the light fixture, just jump off into
the bowl, and you will have just done the Commando Grind gap and the Big Bowl
Air gap.
Wanna Bee! (800 pts)
--------------------
When you first start this level, go to the right side wall and go through the
warehouse doors. Once through the doors, go to the quarterpipe along the
left-hand wall. What you must do to get this gap is go up the quarterpipe,
catch some air, come down the quarterpipe, and then jump and execute a trick
while jumping over the funbox platform with the bee on it and landing on the
platform slightly higher than that one.
Cargo Transfer (1000 pts)
-------------------------
Once you start the level, you will need to go through the warehouse doors and
along the right side wall. Near the end of the right wall, you will notice
boxes in between two long quarterpipes and a small quarterpipe. The small
quarterpipe will be in between the two longer ones. To get the Cargo Transfer,
you will need to go off of one of the longer quarterpipes, execute a trick,
and come down on the small quarterpipe.
C-belt Transfer (10000 pts)
---------------------------
To get this gap, you will need to go into the warehouse area. Once through the
doors, you will notice a green conveyer belt going left to right directly
after the fun-box object ahead of you. You will need to go to the opposite
side of the conveyer belt that you are already on and face towards the doorway
area of the warehouse. If you look up and to your right, you will notice a
green conveyer belt that has yellow rails with a gap in between each side of
rails. The long quarterpipe underneath it will be directly lined up with this
gap. You will need to go off of the quarterpipe ahead of you when facing the
doorway, catch some air, and when you come back down you need to keep the
speed you built up and launch up and over the higher portion of conveyer belt
while executing a trick and come back down on the other side of the belt in
order to get this gap. This may be difficult, but that is the way to get the
gap. I've done it plenty of times.
Lil' Belt Transfer (1500 pts)
-----------------------------
To get this gap, you will need to get into the warehouse area. Once through
the doors, you will notice a green conveyer belt going from left to right
after the fun-box object directly ahead of you. You need to go over to the
other side of the conveyer belt and look towards the back wall. To get the
gap, catch some air going off of the quarterpipe ahead of you and when you
come back down, you must keep the speed that you have built up and transfer
over the lowest point of the conveyer belt while executing a trick and coming
down on the quarterpipe on the other side of the conveyer belt.
========================
2-2: 10 Grinds   [3OKC]
========================
Fatty Grind (1000 pts)
----------------------
If you have already gotten the CD in this level, then you have probably
already done the Fatty Grind. If you have not gotten the CD, you can get it
and the Fatty Grind at once. There are three methods to getting it. The first
method is to get into the bowl forward left of your starting point. Once in
there, get some air on the side opposite the Duff's Precision Engineered
Footwear sign, come down, and come up angled toward the right and press and
hold the triangle button to grind towards the right of the pipe. If you did it
right, you will be grinding towards the wall. If not, you will land in a
stall, which means that you were not angled enough and you will need to try it
again. Watch where you are going because there is a space in the pipe to
another pipe. Once you get there, jump and press and hold your triangle button
right before landing on the pipe. If not, you will wallride and not land back
on the pipe and have to do it all over again. If you do land back on it, keep
grinding until you get to the end of the pipe. You will see a large gap where
the warehouse door is. Jump over it and press and hold the triangle button
right before you land on the pipe between the two warehouse doors. If you
grind the pipe between the two warehouse doors, you will get the Fatty Grind.
The second method is to go to the wall on the other side of where you start
and get into the corner next to the bowl. With the wall on your left, facing
the warehouse doors, and with the bowl on your right, go forward and wallride
up that wall and grind the rail above it. Follow the rest of the directions
for the previous method to get the gap this way. The third method is a lot
simpler. When you start the level transfer off of the tongue with the R in a
circle ahead of you and land in a grind on the light fixture to the right of
it (you will need to get the keys to the bus as an Amateur Goal on this
fixture). At the end of the light fixture, transfer to a grind on the rail
along the wall. Follow the rest of the directions for the first method to get
the gap.
High Corner Grind (1500 pts)
----------------------------
If you have unlocked the secret area in this level with the bull on the wall,
Day Smith, and the Gear outfit, go to the entrance where the ramp /
quarterpipe / roll-in was placed by the forklift. If you haven't unlocked it
go through the warehouse doors and go to the ledge along the right-hand wall.
Look towards the back of the warehouse. You will notice the ledge goes higher
up. Go up the ledge until you reach a pipe. Grind this pipe to the end to get
the High Corner Grind. If you don't understand, you will be at the other end
of the McSpliff Transfer when you dismount from the pipe (at the end of your
grind).
Rodeo Clown (3000 pts)
----------------------
When you start this area, go through the warehouse doors on your right. If you
have activated the switch to have the ramp put on the right wall, go up the
ramp and to the secret area where you set off one fire alarm. If you have not
activated the switch, look for it. If you can't find the switch just give up
(this game is way to hard for you). Once in the secret area go into the
halfpipe. Go up one side of it once you catch the speed and grind the top of
one edge towards where you came into this area. You will notice a bull on the
wall with horns that line up with the top edges of the halfpipe. You just need
jump from a grind on the halfpipe edge to a grind on the bull's horns. Once
you grind the whole bull's horns you will get this gap.
The Commando Grind (5000 pts)
-----------------------------
I have found two different ways to do this gap. Both ways are just as easy for
me since I am such a good player. The first method is to start the level and
ride forward all the way to the opposite wall. Once there, go into the corner
closest to the warehouse doors. Look the opposite way as the door and you will
notice a ramp (on the right side of the bowl). Go up this ramp with some speed
and wallride the wall into a grind on the pipe. Hold this grind as long as you
can. Do not jump and grind again or you might not get the gap. You must grind
the pipe for about 8 or 9 seconds to get the gap. The second method is all
right too. Get into the bowl by riding forward and left of your start
position. Once in the bowl, catch some air opposite the Duff's Precision
Engineered Footwear sign side. Come down and go up the Duff's side at an angle
towards the left and press and hold your triangle button once over the lip of
the bowl. If you did it right, you will be grinding the pipe needed to get the
Commando Grind. This method is great for gameplay. You will just need to hold
the grind for about 8 or 9 seconds to get the gap. If you want, or if you are
a decent player, or if you have the perfect balance cheat in, you can grind
the pipe after getting the Commando Grind, jump off of the end of the pipe,
land in a grind on the light fixture, and hold that grind to the end. Once at
the end, just jump off into the bowl, and you will get the Big Bowl Air gap as
well. You will not need to execute a trick to get that gap either. This is
recommended since you will get 2 gaps for the little effort of just balancing
the grind and jumping.
Yellow Streak Grind (500 pts)
-----------------------------
This grind isn't too bad. What you need to do is go through the warehouse
doors from where you start. Once through the doors, look to your right. You
will notice a forklift. If you unlocked the secret area, it is at the bottom
of the quarterpipe into the secret area. The forklift is on a corner
quarterpipe. There is a yellow streak along the edge of this piece. To get
the gap, you just need to grind this corner quarterpipe along the yellow
streak.
Hightop Cargo Stall (2000 pts)
------------------------------
To get this gap, you will need to go through the warehouse doors after
beginning the level and go to the right wall. You will notice 3 quarterpipes
(two long and one short). Go to the last quarterpipe, which is a long one, and
notice the boxes above it. To get the gap, you will need to go up the
quarterpipe and land in a stall on the top of the boxes.
C-belt Grind (800 pts)
----------------------
To get this gap, you must go through the warehouse doors. Once there, you will
notice a green conveyer belt going left to right through the middle of the
warehouse. You will need to go up either side of the conveyer belt on a
quarterpipe. You will then need to grind the yellow rail along this conveyer
belt. The easiest side I believe is the side closest to the warehouse doors
(the side closest to you when you when you get into the warehouse). Either
side will give you the gap though.
Little Red Rail (300 pts)
-------------------------
When you start this level, go to the right wall and get to the warehouse
doors. Once at the right warehouse door, but still in the starting area, look
close to your area and you will notice a little red rail (it should be either
behind you, to the left of you, or to the right of you (it will be at the top
of the roll-in and quarterpipe area that you will be on)). Just grind down
this rail to get the gap. Simple.
Hightop  Grind (1000 pts)
-------------------------
To get this gap, you will need to go into the warehouse. Once in it, go to the
back of the warehouse. You will notice a roll-in in the wall in the back on
the left side. Go up it to a little room with a green conveyer belt on your
right, a long quarterpipe with a pipe above it ahead of you, and two kickers
and small quarterpipe along with the roll-in behind you. This is also the room
I explained for the Mcspliff Transfer. If you are here, look behind you. You
will notice two kickers, the roll-in that you came up, and a small
quarterpipe. You must aim for the kicker on your right. Do not look directly
straight at the kicker. You must be angled towards the wall a little bit like
you are going for a wallride or fastplant. Bring your rider to the very top of
