Beat Eric

Eric's Challenge

Step 1: Eric wants to see a Melon. Launch up the quarter-pipe and while you're in the air do the Melon.

Step 2: Same again but this time do a Revert as you land. Do it 4 times.

Step 3: You have to beat Eric's score. This is pretty simple if you can string some simple combos together. The process is basically thus: Launch up a quarter-pipe and do some tricks while spinning in the air, land in a Revert to a Manual, go up the other side of the quarter-pipe and repeat until you run out of speed.

Join the Street Warriors

Get In Tight With The Street Warriors

Better get this one right, no one wants a knife in the belly! Follow the red arrow and hit the orange cones. Use the handbrake for turning, the real brake is only really useful for reversing. The street warriors car is one of the fastest in the game, cherish it for it gets a lot worse! Tons of time for this goal, no real challenge. The cones have a wide target area you don't have to be too precise.

Impress Muska

Talk to Joey, he'll tell you about impressing Muska. Follow Chad Muska's white vehicle until it stops by the pool, jump the fence and get into the pool.

Use the sides of the pool to get air and do a Revert to a Manual each time you land to keep a combo going. If your special meter gets full do a McTwist to give your score a shot in the arm. If you don't get it done in the pool Chad will move on to two other spots, follow him. When you're done Chad will tell you about getting sponsored, which leads nicely to Chapter 2.

Chris' Lines

Do Chris' Best Lines

Step 1: Chris wants you to try his line. This means grinding on the structures that are flashing. These things are in a natural line as you'd expect and you can easily do it in one combo, although you don't have to. First grind the fence on your left, hop right and grind the other fence. After passing the gap, hop left to grind the other fence. Jump straight across the road and grind the fence, it will lead you around to the right and near the green bridge. Stay on it until the end, jump to the white wall up the middle of the road and grind. Jump the gap and grind the wall again to complete the goal.

Step 2: Similar kind of thing as the first step. Grind the wall on your right, carry on down the street and grind the next wall. Jump straight across the road and grind the wall all the way around the buildings. Ollie across the road again and grind the wall, hop to the right and grind the wall. Ollie the gap and grind on the decking outside the house.

Run down the road, before you get to the corner jump up and grab the balcony to your right. Run along the balcony around the corner and across the porch roofs. Jump the gap and carry on across the front porches. When you reach the end jump forward and you'll land where the stolen stuff is. Good job. Looks like that crazy cracker Eric is up to something though!

Metal for the Ramp

Get The Scrapmetal For The Tombstone Maker

Run straight down the middle of this long roof to collect another 2 pieces. Turn left again and jump to the next roof for another piece. Drop down to street level and get across the road, the last piece is up on a porch roof so haul yourself up there.

Impress the Kid

Impress The Bratty Kid

Score 25,000 points without touching the street. This is a good opportunity to learn some flatland tricks (these are tricks you do while you're in a Manual). Get into a slow Manual and immediately tap the grind button twice, you'll notice that you go into a Pogo. Neat eh? If you tap the grind, grab and flip buttons in various combinations you'll shuffle through other tricks like this and build up your score. Keep your balance and do this until you have enough points then land it.

Bum's House

Catch Ollie's House

Talk to the bum inside the train station, he wants you to pick up the 3 pieces of his house. The plot of this goal doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Regardless, grind the train track into the first green icon, stay on this line and you'll go around a bend to collect the other 2 pieces. Uh-oh, looks like Eric's in trouble.

Eric's Kidnapped

Rescue Eric

Step 1: Chase after the drug dealers car, grind on walls to keep up with it.

Step 2: Ok I never thought I'd be taking part in a car chase in a Tony Hawk game, but we're behind the wheel! The car handles like ass but it's still kinda fun. Always use the handbrake to turn corners. It might take a few attempts to get used to the controls but it's not too hard. You just have to keep up with them, the chase finishes by the train station.

Combo the City

Combo The Entire City

You need to collect all 10 THUG icons in a single combo. Grind the wall for the first and ollie into a Manual. There's a kicker on the ground here that you can use to get up onto the electrical wires, if you miss it just stay in the Manual until you cross the road. Start grinding the wall for the next bunch of icons, ride it around the corner and across the back of the building. Don't take the next bend, ollie just before it and carry on grinding the fence. The line of the fence will take you back across the road, grind the fat pipe on the ground for the last 2 icons. If you don't land right on the pipe you'll need to Manual over to it.

Score 200,000 points

Score Big

You need 200,000 points and you've got 2 minutes to do it. You should be competent at stringing combos together by now so this won't be a huge challenge. As always, shuffle through modifiers when you're grinding or in a Manual and try to include some special tricks. One or two decent combos will do it.
