Welcome, readers, to my 7th FAQ. In the next ~600 KB, I'll take you through
the wonderful game of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Note, that this FAQ has been
written for Playstation 2. I do not know about differences between versions.
If you're playing the game on a platform other than the PS2, be aware that
some things might be different.
Anyway, you might wonder, why this FAQ? Aren't there 5 complete FAQs for
THPS4 already? Yes, there are, but after reading through them carefully, I
found that none of them is actually complete. Some don't list the gaps,
others don't list the Cash Icons, others miss some of the goals. I decided
that we needed a FAQ that would be complete in every single way.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the result. The most complete FAQ for THPS4
on GameFAQs.com, and, in all honesty, also the best ^_^. I hope you'll
share this opinion, and that you'll find this FAQ very useful.
Regards,
Evert "Deadmeat X" van Aart

You can contact me by e-mail, but there are a couple of rules.
Things I want:
- Love mail
- Corrections
- Suggestions
- Additions
- Money
Things I can do without:
- Hate mail
- Death threats
- Poorly spelled e-mails
- Questions that are answered in the FAQ
And a couple more notes:
- I'm not a skater, never been either. Thus, I'm not familiar with the slang
of the skate culture. I've tried to name objects and tricks as well as I
could. Please, do not mail me saying that it should say 'ramp' instead of
'quarterpipe', or vica versa. Don't correct me on my terminology.
- When listing gaps and Cash Icons, I've tried to give you a description of
the easiest way to get the gap / Cash. If you know an other way to get it,
only mail to me if you know for sure that your method is considerably
easier than mine. So, for example, if there are 5 spots in a level where
you can get the 'Rail 2 Rail' gap, and I've only listed one, don't mail me
to inform me about the four other spots.
- I don't always reply to e-mails, out of sheer laziness. I read every
e-mail that I get, but sometimes, I'm too lazy or in too much of a hurry
to reply. If you don't get a reply, don't send me the mail again.
- Please don't add this adress to MSN. I never use it for MSN, and my other
adress' MSN list is already flooded with readers.
Alright then, here's my address:

Your Skater will start out with pretty low stats, but in the Career Mode,
you increase his or her stats, until finally, you've got a near-perfect
Skater. This Chapter deals with that process.
