C.1) INTRODUCTION
------------------------------
The Tony Hawk series is a long-established franchise. The first game in
the series, entitled 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater', was a very good game. It
was made for the PS1. THPS (as it is often dubbed) 2 and 3 were made
with improvements on the basic formula of skating around a somewhat
small level, and doing as many goals as you could in 2:00.
When 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4' came out, some dramatic changes were
made to the traditional formula of a 2:00 time limit, etc. Now, you
could skate around the level freely, and do goals as you wished. In my
opinion, it was a change for the better.
'Tony Hawk's Underground' not only steered away from the 'Pro Skater'
ending of the name that the previous games had had, but also introduced
a dramatic new addition to the game: the ability to get off your board.
This is helpful in a lot of ways; one, for combos, and two, it allows
for a lot more mobility around levels.
And so, I bring you my guide to 'Tony Hawk's Underground'. This game
has made a lot of changes to the formulas past games have had, as I
said before. I hope that you enjoy this guide!
------------------------------
C.2) GAME INFO
------------------------------
Game Title: Tony Hawk's Underground
Developed by: Neversoft
Published by: Activision
ESRB: T for Teen
Memory Card (for Ps2): 110 KB
Online: Broadband and Dial-Up
Vibration Function: Yes
Slogan: "You Own the Underground"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D) TRICKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
D.1) NEW TRICKS:
------------------------------
WALK MODE:
This isn't exactly a trick, but it's definitely a new addition to the
game. Now, you can get off of your board and walk around the level
you're skating in. This is great, because now you don't always have to
be skating, which makes it hard to get to certain places. Also, a note:
you don't get any points for going into walk mode, unless you're in the
middle of a combo as you are doing so.
CLIMBING/SHIMMYING:
This is another new addition to the game. You can now climb on ledges,
wires, etc. and shimmy on them. This is very helpful for getting into
places that would normally be close to impossible to get to when you're
skating. When I say 'shimmying', I mean more to the left and right on
the object that you're holding. You can also hop off of the thing that
you're holding, and wither fall off of it, or jump and grind on it.
CAVEMAN:
This is a new addition to the game, because you wouldn't be able to do
it if there weren't a walk mode! While in walk mode, jump, and hop on
to your board again by pressing L1 + R1. This is another thing that's
helpful for combos, and comes up in many stat challenges.
WALLPLANT/WALLPUSH:
Two other new additions to the game are the wallplant and the wallpush.
For the wallplant, skate up to a wall, vending machine, etc and ollie,
and then press the down arrow + X to launch yourself off of the wall.
This is helpful for combos, too, as you can quickly hop off of a rail
and back on it again with this move. The wallpush is somewhat similar,
I suppose. Skate up to a wall, and hold down the triangle button to
push off of the wall, hence the name 'wallpush'. This move doesn't
really come up very often, and is worth very little points by itself
(10, I believe), so you probably won't find yourself using it very
often.
WALLRIDE:
Go up to a wall and ollie while pressing against the wall, and hold the
triangle button to ride up the wall. This is a very useful trick that
is good for getting up into high places, and for some missions that
involve going into hard to reach places.
------------------------------
D.2) TRICK TYPES:
------------------------------
GRABS:
Grabs are tricks that involve grabbing or holding the board in one way
or another. These types or tricks are usually off of ramps, and are
used in vert skating quite commonly. They are still used in street
skating sometimes, but less frequently. To perform a grab, hold the 'O'
button while using the left analog stick or the D-Pad to indicate which
grab trick you want to do. Some grabs are tricky to land, but are worth
a lot of points, sometimes.
FLIPS:
Flips are almost the opposite of grabs; they involve flipping the
board, hence the name. These types of tricks are done in both street
and vert skating. Flips can often be multiplied to make more points
(ex. Kickflip, Double Kickflip, etc.) To perform a fliptrick, press the
square button, and a direction arrow or the left analog stick to
indicate which fliptrick you want to do.
FLATLAND:
Flatland tricks are very interesting tricks, as they are always done on
flat ground (hence the name: flatland). These tricks involve manuals,
truckstands, caspers, to-rails, handstands, pogos, etc. These tricks
are good for combos, and increasing your score of combos.
OLLIES, BONELESSES, NO COMPLIES, ETC.:
The boneless, no comply, etc. all various forms of the base trick, the
ollie. The ollie is a trick that is very often used in skateboarding.
It is used to hop up into the air, with your board. This is the base
trick for almost all tricks in the game, and in real-life. In the game,
you perform the ollie by hitting the X button. No complies are
performed by hitting the up arrow and the X button at the same time.
Bonelesses are performed by hitting the up arrow twice, and then the X
button. Bonelesses give you a significant boost in height.
GRINDS:
Grinds are tricks that, obviously, involve grinding on some ledge or
surface in one way or another. These are very helpful for big scores,
and you will probably find yourself a lot of these over the course of
the game. There are several grind variations that are worth a lot of
points if you switch between the different modes of grinding during
combos (using square, square; circle, circle, etc.)
LIPS:
Lips are tricks that involve lipping on some part of a ledge. They're
basically like a grind, but you're not grinding; you're locked in
place. Honestly, lips a re probably the least used tricks in the game
(at least in my opinion), but they're still good for some quick points,
I guess.
SPECIAL:
Special tricks are tricks that you can only perform if your special
meter is full. Some of these tricks are impossible to perform in real-
life, while others are possible. These are interesting tricks, usually.
Very fun tricks to do, and (usually) they increase your score by a lot
during combos.

G.1)                         NEW JERSEY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==========================================
G.1.1) HOMETOWN HI-JINKS:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP ERIC:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, the first mission in the game. Like such, it is the easiest in the
game. This is a very simple mission that I can't really see very many
people having that much trouble on, but whatever.
Anyway, run through the gate and jump up and grab the ledge of the
house using the 'R1' button. Then, climb up on to the roof using the Up
Arrow, and grab the first piece. Now, run across this rooftop, and then
jump to the next rooftop to grab the next piece of Eric's skateboard.
Now, run across this rooftop and jump to the next, and grab the 3'rd
piece of Eric's board. For the last piece, keep running across the
roof, and eventually you will see it.
Now, hop off of your board and jump over the barricades using the X
button.
Now, you should see a long barrier in the middle of the street. Run
towards it, jump, and hurriedly press the triangle button to grind on
it.
On Sick Mode, you will have to do a run for Eric. Run towards the first
barrier and then jump into a grind, like you did just before. Now,
ollie off of the rail and switch back to walking stance. Now combo run
out into a caveman, and then grind the last barrier to finish this
challenge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WALK CHARLES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go up to the tail of the dog when the mission begins, and press the up
arrow. Just skitch the dog for however long you have too. When you
finish the challenge, you will get the 'You earned that $5!' gap.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ERIC'S CHALLENGE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Eric wants to see you do a melon, so do just that. Go up the side
of the drainage ditch and perform a melon (right arrow + O).
Now, Eric wants to see you do a melon, and then revert 4 times after
that. So, do exactly what you just did, but as you're coming to the
bottom of the ramp, hit the 'R2' button to revert.
On Sick Mode, do what you just did, but then manual. So, do a melon,
and then revert, and then hit the up arrow + down arrow to do a manual.
You can also hit down + up to do a manual (although technically you
will go into a manual, but it still counts).
Now you have to beat Eric's score. So, here's what to do: Go up the
side of the drainage ditch and do a grab trick with a spin. Revert,
manual, and then go up the other side and do a grab trick. Now, revert
again, and then go into a manual and do some flatland tricks. Now, go
to the left side of the drainage ditch and go up the ramp, and then,
while in mid-air, hit the 'R2' button to perform a spine transfer. This
will send you hurling downwards towards the other side of the ramp. Do
this and then revert, manual, and then grind along the back part of the
drainage ditch (but don't grind it all the way to the end. Now, get off
of your board and run over to the ramp that you just spine transferred
on to. Then, get back on your board while on the ramp, and then manual,
go up the ramp, and hit triangle to perform a lip trick. Do some lip
trick variations, revert after you're done land it, and you should have
beaten Eric's score.
If you don't want to do one huge combo, then just do some air tricks,
revert, manual, another air trick, and do that 2 or 3 times, then land
it. When I say 'air trick' I mean a trick in the air (it can be either
grab or flip tricks). Flip tricks are quicker, but generally aren't
worth as many points as grab tricks, so do what you think you should
do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GET IN TIGHT WITH THE STREET WARRIORS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is your very first driving mission! In this mission, you have to
knock down all of the cones. The first cone is past the pool, down
towards the edge of the city. Now, turn right and go up Elm Street and
turn to the right again when you reach the drug dealers house. Follow
the road past the high school, and then make a 2 right turns. Now, make
a turn to the right past the pool again, and then turn into the alley
between the 2 houses. Make a left turn to go in front of the clinic. Go
fast down towards that bridge ahead of you, and then make a U-turn when
you've passed the cone.
Now, head back past the clinic again and make a right turn on to Elm
Street. Don't go very fast down this street, or you may have to back
up, wasting time. Now, turn right to go between two houses. Keep going
straight, and then turn left. Now you can go as fast as you want, as
long as you get to Johnny's place.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FLYER FOR THE MUSKA DEMO:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, start by grinding the barrier in front of the skate shop. Ollie
off of the barrier and hit the ledge in front of the house on the
corner. Keep going straight down the road, and turn right at the end of
the road and grind the ledge that goes towards Elm Street. Ollie across
the alley, and keep going towards the drug dealer's house. Now, grind
along the pipe, and you should finish the goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* IMPRESS MUSKA: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Chad Muska is driving around, and you must impress him. He will
check out 3 different spots, and you have to score a certain amount of
points in front of him in a certain amount of time. If you can get as
many points as needed in the first spot, that's great, but he will
check out 3 different spots, so you have some time.
The first spot that he will check out is the pool. Skate towards the
pool, and then ollie over the fence, and go into the pool. Now, do a
grab trick with a spin, revert, manual, and repeat. When you aren't
getting enough air to do grab tricks anymore, do some flatland tricks.
You have to do this fast, as he will only stay at this spot about 30
seconds.
If you don't get enough points from the first spot, just follow him,
and go to the two other spots. The two other spots are: the area with
the dumpster, and the drainage ditch. They have sort of the same layout
as the first spot, so just follow the guide written above. Keep in kind
that he will only spend about 30 seconds at the first 2 spots, and
about 1 minute at the last spot.
=================================
BONUS GOAL:
=================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEARN THE FLAMINGO:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To activate this goal, find Mike Vallely, who is found skating around
town. Anyway, when you do find him, he will teach you the Flamingo. You
will be transported to the drainage ditch, where you must get special,
and then perform the Flamingo in a set amount of time. It will show you
how to do the Flamingo in the corner of the screen (Left + Right + O).
Do this, and you will unlock a new special trick slot.
==========================================
G.1.2) IMPRESSING THE LOCALS:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPRESS SHAWN:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you need to get on the roof of the house, so air up the quarter
pipe opposite the quarter pipe attached to the house with the roof that
you need to get on, and then land it, and then go up the quarter pipe
Now go up the quarter pipe attached to the house with the roof.
Now, transfer from one roof to the other. Build up some speed by airing
up the two ramps on the roof, and then go off of the quarter pipe to
the left, but on an angle, and then land on the other roof.
Now, you have to get back down to where you started. Air up the ramp on
the roof, and then hit the 'R2' button to spine transfer off of the
roof.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DEMO THE NEW PLAYGROUND SETUP:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Jack and some other guys want you to demo this playground setup
they just made. So, you have to score a certain amount of points in
2:00.
First, go into the drained-out pool. Go up a side and do a grab trick
with a spin. Revert, manual, and repeat. Keep doing that until you
don't have enough speed and/or momentum to go up a side and do a trick
anymore, and when you're finished, do some flatland tricks by
reverting, and stay in the manual. That should be enough to complete
the goal, but if it isn't, keep the combo alive and grind around the
outside of the pool, while constantly doing various grind variations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPRESS JOEY:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To impress Joey, you need to first spine transfer into the dumpster, so
do that (ride up the ramp of the dumpster, and while in mid-air hit R2
to transfer over to the ramp opposite the ramp you just went up).
Now you need to spine transfer, but while spine transferring, do a
kickflip (left + square). So, do exactly what you did in the first part
of this goal, but after hitting R2, hit the buttons for a kickflip.
Now, Joey is going to call out tricks that must do. My advice is to do
the tricks that are called out more than once first (because you only
have to do them once, and you'll eliminate every trick like that from
the trick list that is up when you did the trick). Sometimes, you can
even do more than one trick while in the air!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DO CHRIS' BEST LINES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris has some lines that he wants to see if anybody else can do. And
now you're going to try them.
First of all, if you're playing on Sick difficulty, you have to combo
the line. But if you're playing on either Beginner difficulty or Normal
difficulty, you don't have too.
Anyway, ollie and then grind the barrier, and then hop to the right and
grind the fence. Now, jump to the left on to the second barrier. Now,
ollie and grind on the fence next to the bridge. Grind the fence all
the way to the end and then jump on to the concrete... thing near
Johnny Turbo's shop. Then, ollie off of that barrier, and on to the
second barrier, and you will finish the first line.
Now, in the second line, you have to grind the wall close to the
sidewalk, and then jump off of the wall into a manual. Manual down the
road and then ollie into a grind on the wall on the right. Jump from
the wall on to a fence right in front of the wall that you just
grinded. Grind the fence until you're behind the clinic, and then ollie
from the rail you're just on, and grind on the wall close to the blue
house. Ollie from the grind that you're still in to a brick wall. Now,
ollie from the brick wall and grind the porch in front of you, and you
will have finished this goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* GET THE STOLEN ITEMS BACK FROM THE DEALERS: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The drug dealers broke into the skateshop and stole some gear! You are
going to get it back!
The dealers have pretty bad hearing, and they can't see very well, so
it shouldn't be that hard to get the gear back. Basically, here's what
you need to do: you need to run forward to the Tombstone Maker's place
and climb the ladder on the side of the building. Run n the roof, and
across to the other roof. Jump down and run across the street (you may
get a 'They Spotted You!', but keep running, because you may pass
them). Anyway, keep running, and then go through the dumpster. Now,
when at the end of the alley with the dumpster in it, turn to the right
and jump on the porch, and grab the gear. Then you're done the goal!
==========================================
G.1.3) GETTING OUTTA DODGE:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* GET THE SCRAP METAL FOR THE TOMBSTONE MAKER: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to get all of the scrap pieces of metal to build a ramp to
jump across the bridge. Basically, you need to do just what you did in
the 'Help Eric' goal at the beginning of the game. Follow the same
line, except at the end, run to the left and grab a piece of scrap
metal. Then, jump off of the house and jump on to a short roof to grab
the final piece of scrap metal (there are 6 in total).
Now, you need to skitch Johnny Turbo's car, and jump off at the right
moment. So, go up to his car, and hold the 'up' arrow to skitch the
car. Just a little tip: try not hold 'X' while skitching, or when you
let go of 'X', you will let go of the car! Anyway, hold on to the car
until Johnny tells you to let go. So, when he tells you to let go, let
go, and go off of the flashing ramp. You will go flying off of the
ramp, and over the bridge, finishing the goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* GET ACCESS TO THE TRAIN STATION: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this goal, you have to grind around the planter-thing a specified
amount of times with (on some difficulty modes) a time limit. The
reason you are doing this is so you will tire the 'Security Stew' out
giving you access to the train station. I can't really tell you what to
do in this goal, as it's pretty self-explanatory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPRESS THE BRATTY KID:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to score points without touching the road. My advice is
simple: grind the left ledge while doing some different grind
variations, and then at the end, jump over to the other planter-thing
with the ramp on it, and do some flatland tricks. Finish the combo
while still on the planter-thing, jump back to the original thing that
you started out on, and repeat the process.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CATCH OLLIE'S HOUSE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ollie's house has blown away, and you have to get it back for him. You
have to grind the appropriate train tracks to get his house back. Just
grind into the flashing objects to retrieve parts of his house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* RESCUE ERIC!: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dealers have kidnapped Eric in their SUV, and it's your duty to
help him escape! At the start, jump and grind the edge of the planter-
thing that you started out in on the 'Impress the Bratty Kid' goal.
When you get to the bridge, grind one of the ledges all the way down to
the end (preferably the one behind the SUV). And follow the truck the
rest of the way.
Now, Johnny gives his vehicle to follow the dealers with. You have to
stay in sight of the dealers SUV. Follow the dealers around the
neighborhood, and then watch out as they turn to the left quite
unexpectedly, and go on to the bridge.
Follow them down the bridge, and then when you reach the planter-thing
with the ramp on it, you can speed up and ram into their car.

G.2.1) SKATING THE BIG APPLE:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HIGH SCORE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to get a high score to impress the construction workers. Go up
the slope in front of the construction worker you talk to active this
goal and ollie off of it, and grind the side of the metal-thing. Then,
hop off of that and grind the dumpster to the end, and when you get to
the end, ollie off of the curved piece and grind the other metal thing.
Jump off of that and manual, and do some flatland tricks on the
sidewalk. Now, get off your board and run over to the ramps on that
glass building. Do some big grab tricks and revert, ending the combo.
If that isn't enough to finish the goal, just do some flatland tricks
in the parking lot of the glass building.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLD-GRIND COMBOS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hold the triangle button to grind, but switch the grind between two
benches by doing the proper grinds. You don't need to ollie; just keep
holding the triangle button, but switch the arrows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP THE STUDENT:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Somebody has taken some student's things and scattered them around
Manhattan! You need to get them back for her. Where they are varies on
difficulty mode, so I will divide it up by difficulty mode:
~~ BEGINNER: ~~
1) From the starting point of the goal, go to the tall building and air
up the ramp. Then, grind the ledge to get the first item.
2) Go to the Brooklyn Banks, and on the corner of the ramp, air up to
grab the second item.
3) Across the street from the Brooklyn Banks should be some building
with red and yellow colouring and a colourful banner. Grind that banner
to get the final purse item.
~~ NORMAL: ~~
In addition to the items above, you will have to get...
4) Grind the glass building.
5) Go into the alley across from the bridge, near the big anchor. Go up
the asphalt quarter pipe and air up and grind the wire to get the final
item.
~~ SICK: ~~
In addition to getting all of the items listed above, you will have to
get...
6) Spine transfer over the big 'Cash' sign to get the purse item. (You
may need to No Comply or Boneless to be able to get high enough to
spine transfer over it).
7) Go down the road past the building with the banner and grind the
dumpsters with the curved end on them. When you get to the curved part,
ollie and grind the metal-thing to get the final purse item.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
KILL 5 FAMOUS SKATESPOTS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very easy goal, and I would be surprised if anybody had
trouble with this goal, even on Sick mode. Anyway, you need to get a
high score at 5 different skate spots around town. As I said before,
you really should have no trouble with this goal, so you probably don't
need me to give you tips.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NUT VENDORS UNITE!:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A poor Nut Vendor is being hassled by other Nut Vendors! Smash the
other nut vendor's carts to teach them a lesson!
This goal is relatively simple. Just follow the arrow, and you should
have no trouble finding the carts. Remember to watch out for ones in
alleys and narrow places. They are very easy to miss.
==========================================
BONUS GOAL:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEARN THE MOONWALK FIVE-O:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This challenge is harder than the previous bonus goal; you have to get
special, and hop on the wire while in a Moonwalk Five-O grind. So,
here's what to do:
Get special by doing some flatland tricks, and then go up the ramp
across the ramp closest to the wire. Now, skate over to the wire, and
just before you go of the ramp jump into a grind. Now, in the straight
portion of the wire that comes up, ollie into a Moonwalk Five-O grind,
and quickly switch back to a 50-50 (triangle + triangle), and grind all
the way to end of the wire.
==========================================
G.2.2) SKATING WITH THE LOCALS:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM THE LOCAL:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
An extremely easy goal. Just skate behind the local until he finishes
his line. Remember to not do any tricks or grinds or manuals or
anything; just follow the skater. Remember not to get too far behind
him, or too far in front of him. Just be able to see him at a somewhat
close distance to him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HIT THE KILLER BANKS LINE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ollie and grind the row of cars. Now, ollie off of that set of cars and
grind the next set of cars. At eh end, jump off of them and manual to
the curved ledge. Grind it, and then ollie off of it on to a grind on
the next ledge. Ollie off of the ledge and manual to the benches and
grind them. Now, at the end of the two benches, hop off your board and
run towards the ramp, and go up it and you will finish the goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CRASH AND BURN THE CAR:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you know what to do, this goal isn't very hard. If you don't know
what to do, it can really annoying. So, what you have to do is heat the
car until it reaches 300 degrees. To do this, just keep a constant
speed, and don't hit anything or make to many slow turns. When it
reaches 300 degrees, go to the waterfront and you should see a flashing
ramp. Drive the car off of it, and you will finish the goal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* HELP THE LOCAL SKATER: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To get inside the building, you have to get the cars some hot, steaming
nuts. To do that, follow the arrow and go to the nut vendors. Get them
back to the guards before they get cold. Once you do that, you can go
inside the building. You have to do a trick that the local created: the
New York Nut Buster. On Beginner and Normal, you just have to do the
trick, but on Sick you have to do it out a window. To do the trick, get
special and then press the correct buttons to do the trick. When doing
it out a window, get special and grind a rail and then ollie off of the
rail through a window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* GAP THE BURNING TAXI: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to ollie over a burning taxi and do the tricks that Eric tells
you to do. When doing the tricks after coming off of the ramp, I like
to skate down into the banks, go off of the ramp, and skate back up,
and ollie over the taxi; that way I get more speed, and can do more
than one trick with the jump, but you can do what ever works for you.
Remember to the tricks that are listed more than once first, as you can
eliminate the list faster.
==========================================
G.2.3) FAVOURS FOR A RIDE:
==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP STACEY'S RELATIVE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to score a certain amount of points inside the building. From
the start, jump and grind the grey-ish thing Hop off and manual and do
some flatland tricks. When you think you can't balance anymore, get off
your board and run towards the ramp, where you should do a grab trick
with a spin, revert and finish the combo. Then repeat. This goal isn't
very hard at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD SKOOL SKATING TECHNIQUES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Chef wants to see you do 5 no complies. To No Comply, press the up
arrow + the X button. You can do them anywhere around the level, but
make sure you do all 5 of them within the time limit!
Next, the chef wants to see you No Comply over a barrier. Do that by
skating up to the barrier and hitting the up arrow + the X button over
the barrier.
On Normal and Sick, you now have to No Comply on to a bench, land in a
manual, and do a flip trick off of the bench. So, do that, and then you
can move on to the next part.
Now, you have to boneless 5 times. To boneless, press the up arrow +
the up arrow + the X button. So do that 5 times anywhere in the level
within the time limit, just like you did for the No Comply.
Now you have to boneless over the barrier. To do that, skate up to it
and press the up arrow + the up arrow + the X button, while going over
the barrier.
Now, for your last challenge, you have to go up a ramp and boneless
while going up the ramp, to get more air. So do that and you will
finish the challenge!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIND THE STOLEN SKATESHOP GOODS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some punks have made off with stuff from the skateshop, and you need to
get it back! On beginner, you need to get 3 decks, on normal, you need
to get 5 decks, and on sick, you need to get 7 decks! Here's where they
are:
1) Some are around the Brooklyn Banks; I'm not sure how many, but there
is at least 1 there.
2) There are some more down by the waterfront.
3) Chiefly on Sick Mode, some skaters go around the city. Check 78
Water, the construction site, the Pyramid Ledges, and the Metro Center.
Remember, tog get the decks back, you just need to touch the guys you
have them. Hey will be identifiable by skulls above their heads.

==========================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
REMOVE ALL OF THE STICKERS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mayor Jed wants you to wallride stickers down. Here's where they are:
1) On Beginner and Normal, the first sticker is located just to the
left of the strip club, on the brick wall. But on Sick, it is located
above the pipe at about roof-height of the strip club. Wallride it
down.
2) On Beginner and Normal, go up the ramp to the left of the starting
point of this goal, and wallride it down. On Sick, you need to go up
the ramp, grind the pipe, and wallride at the end of it.
3) Cross the street and go to the building on the left. Go up the ramp
and wallride it down. On sick, you need to go up the ramp, grind the
red pipe and then wallride it down.
4) Go to the Private Eye Drycleaners building and wallride down the
sticker. It is the same for all difficulties.
5) Like the last sticker, this one is the same for all difficulties: go
to the side of the bank. The sticker is on the back wall of the
building with the skatepark in it, next to them side wall of the bank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GET THE BEST DONUTS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the donuts are depends on the difficulty level, but I'll write it
for the normal difficulty, because that's the basic. Grind the dumpster
ad hop on to the fence. Grind the top of the half pipe to get 2 more
donuts, and go through the exit in the fence ahead. Go down the road,
following the donuts, and then go along the benches near the wakeboard
shop. Go on to the party boat and air up off the ramp to get the last
donut.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SKATEBOARDING BANDIT:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Somebody has just robbed the bank and left a trail of cash for you to
follow! Find him! On Beginner and Normal, you need to grind the first
bench, and then the second one, go through the window, grind the edge
of the building, jump off, and manual through the cash. Then, jump off
your board and run over to the ramp, and go up it to get the last piece
of cash.
On Sick, you have to grab two cash bills by just skating, then go out
the window and grind the edge of the building, and then transfer the
grind over the wire. Grind to the end of the wire, jump off, run over
to the fence, grind it, ollie, grind the next fence, and then manual
over to the bowl. At the end , grind the top of the house, and then
you're done!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP THE PRIVATE EYE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
First, go in front of the strip club and grind the cheater's car 5
times.
Next, air over the entrance of the strip club while doing the specified
trick.
Now, you need to deliver some dry-cleaning. You can't bail, or else it
will wrinkle it! Just follow the arrow to the people who need their
clothes back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* REVENGE!!!: *
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you need to grind down 5 Mayor Jed signs.
The first sign is located right in front of you from the starting
point. Go up the ramp and then grind the top of it, and grind the sign.
The second sign is located just a little ways away from the first one;
go up the slope and grind the sign, or just jump and hang on the sign,
and then go up on top of it and grind it.
The third sign is across from the strip club. It's on the ground, so
just ollie and grind it.
The fourth sign is next to the Bro Bowl, on the ground like the last
one.
The fifth and final sign is on the corner of the street opposite the
Private Eye Dry Cleaners.
Now, the cops are coming after you. You have to drive the police car
around the city to evade them! Watch out for the police cars that drive
up and try to block your path! Whenever you see a green arrow on the
ground, drive over it, and then you can move on to the next arrow.
