More:Tony Hawk's American Wasteland: Hints
From GameWinners
Beverly Hills: Air conditioner soccer
Go up on a roof with AC units. Kick one off of the building, then kick it to the place where the guard was when you had to skitch the dog. Get a friend to join you, and you can play
soccer. The walls will be the goals.Beverly Hills: Becoming a club member faster
Go to Beverly Hills and go to the ranch. Learn to do a Wall Plant and Sticker Slap. Learn to Wall Ride. Learn to Wall Run and Wall Flip; and Back Flip and Front Flip. Learn to Nada Spin. Then, go back to the ranch. Talk to Mindy or that girl that tells you to do things. Go to the man with long black hair with sunglasses. Finish the tricks he tells you to do in a combo. You will have skipped two tasks and become a club member.
Downtown: See Chavez
You can see Chavez by the giant fence in the southwest corner of the map.
Downtown: See Iggy
When the businessman pulls out his bazooka in the mission on how you get downtown, look at the person being blown down the escalator. It is Iggy.
East L.A.: Run through clothes
Go to the clothes shop. You can run all around the store and thorough the clothes, unlike in the other shops.
East L.A.: Wheel Of Torture
Inside the casino on the ground floor are many slot
machines which have scrolling massages across the top of them.
Most will say, "Wheel of Torture..." in bright yellow
text.
Hollywood: Construction worker trying to levitate goat
At the bowl on the roof near the skate shop, get on the second rail going towards the skate shop wall and sticker slap. Jump on the third (and top) rail then jump off towards the wall you are going towards. Dismount and you will be in an apartment. If you look near the bed in story mode, there is a construction worker trying to levitate a goat.
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat and go to Hollywood.
Go to the pool behind the billboard above the skate shop near
the bus. If you go high enough on the corner of the pool opposite
to the one facing the bus, there will be a ledge you can land
on. There will be a crack on the wall. Walk into that wall, and
you will enter a hotel room with a construction worker facing
a goat on a bed.
Hollywood: Aerial moves
Once you get the spiral piece from the radio tower,
you can get a major combo on it by standing in the middle and
doing a manual. Whenever you are about to fall, just jump and
you will be launched straight up into the air, where you can do
some awesome aerial moves. Then when you land, continue to manual.
Hollywood: Top of level
Find the dog and the Cello restaurant. Wall run up
the quarter pipe and front tuck onto the catwalk above. Turn left
and follow the walkway to the old wood building. There should
be a arched doorway. Get on top of the arch and turn to your right.
Jump onto the building in front of you. The building should have
a bowl on its roof. Walk until you find a series of fire escapes.
Wall run into each of the escapes individually. When you get to
the top escape, wall run and front tuck on the taller roof then
enjoy the view.
Hollywood: Tony Hawk's Underground reference
During the mission when you have to get a 2,000
point, 5,000 point, and 10,000 point combo, after the dinosaur
comes down the bus that hits it has "THUG" on the front,
which refers to Tony Hawk's Underground. However, if you
check the front of the bus after or before the mission, it reads
"THAW", referring to Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
Hollywood: Falling Down
The man who helps you by using a rocket launcher
on the escalator is a reference to D-Fens, the main character
of the movie Falling Down.
Santa Monica: Get onto the stage without touching the ground
In the mission where you have to get onto the stage
without touching the ground, grind the rail to the right, and
round the corner. Sticker slap the wall and get off your board
in mid-air. Grab onto a rail with a blue window on top. Quickly
get up and caveman onto the rail and grind around. Boned ollie
onto the top of the stage and shimmy off the edge and drop down.
Run to the person quickly, as you will be running out of time.
This requires a few shots.
For the last part of this mission, simply grind the ledge to your
right then jump into a Boned Ollie and land in a grind on the
stairs. Grind the stairs around, jump at the end of them, then
jump into a grind on the edge of the theater. Just go a short
distance around to complete it.
Skate Ranch: Slow motion
Go to the left hand side into the dirty green water.
You will enter slow motion mode.
Van's Skate Park: Electrocution
Go around to where the sign that says to dismount is
located. There is a electrical box that serves as a ramp. Climb
up to the top and get off your board. There is a pole on top that
you can see electricity flowing through. Hit it with your board
and you will see your character get shocked, and you will restart
on the ground.

Van's Skate Park: Bathroom
On the lowest level there is a door in a corner. Sticker
Slap it and go up the quarterpipe. You will come down on another
quarterpipe, and at the top of the screen the message "Yuck!"
will appear.
Van's Skatepark: Powerade
Go up to the upper deck where the bleachers, air hockey
tables, and drink machines are found. Find a Powerade machine.
Stand in front of it and hit it with your board. A Powerade should
pop out.
Pigeon hunt
Once you get the telescope for the Skate Ranch, it
should be on a barren solid concrete arch, on a wooden stand.
Easy points
While on your board, Natas Spin (Y + RT) then go into special mode (click Left Analog-stick) and do continuos trick mods until you max out your special time for that combo.
To get a very easy high score, Rail Stall or Natas Spin. Do as
many trick mods as you can before you fall. Before you fall, activate
Focus mode. This makes it easier to balance. While in Focus mode,
continue doing trick mods until you reach the maximum time limit.
When you leave Focus mode, jump off quickly because you will most
likely fall if you do not. It is possible to get over 2,000,000
points by doing this.
Avoiding crashes
When you do a trick off a ramp into the air, and if it appears that you are going to crash, press RB to get off your skateboard while still in the air. You should land safely on your feet.
Shred your board
At Iggyz place by the entrance, there is a wood shredder
(as seen as you first get into the skate park). It reads "Trespassers
enter here" Throw your board into the mouth. The board will
be shown coming out in shreds.
Switch off board
While standing, tap RB(2) and your character will switch his board to the other hand.
Slomo
When you have your special, click the Left Analog-stick
to do slomo in single player and story modes.
Bike tricks
While on your bike you can do tricks that you have
not learned yet any time.
Avoid wipeouts on bike
On the bike, start a high score run. If you are about
to wipeout, press Start and go to "End High Score
Run". If done correctly, you will start again and you will
not wipeout.
See underwear
Select a female skater or create one with a skirt.
Enable the "Perfect manual" code and do a manual. Then,
do a handstand and position the camera so you can see up her skirt.
All women in the game wear red underwear.
Flames and sparks without the cheat
Do a Primo Handstand. When your skater is doing the handstand, immediately press RT. He will land the trick and there should be flames/sparks coming from his board. Note: This may require a few attempts. Also, you cannot do grinds, grabs, or anything to do with airing out of a half pipe.
Developer appearance
During the sequence when you rescue Boone from the Black Widows, the person riding the cow is Joel Jewett from Neversoft.
Das Oath-Awesome R***
To hear a very small portion of Awesome R***, play Dead Kennedys-Uber Alles. Wait a few seconds after the track is finished. You should hear about a half a second of the introduction.
Look like Hyde from That 70's Show
Go to the barber and get a brown afro and the gottee/mustache
combo. Then, get tight pants and the Hawk Thunder shirt. After
that, get your black boots and your dark (but not too dark) aviator
glasses.
Fat Albert The Movie reference
The Roller Coaster and Ferris Wheel are from Fat
Albert; even knowing they say that they are from Philadelphia.
The Karate Kid reference
When you meet Master Zen for the second time, your
character will make a comment saying "Is this a wax on, wax
on thing?"
