Hint: 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.
Manuel Galan.

Hint: 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.
Joe Moma.

Hint: Downtown: See Chavez:
You can see Chavez by the giant fence in the southwest corner of the map.
Jesus Orona.

Hint: Downtown: See Iggy:

STwinboyz.

Hint: East L.A.: Wheel Of Torture:

Hint: East L.A.: Tony Hawk's Underground reference:
The wrecked train high on the rails reads "THUG" instead of "THAW".

Hint: 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.
dylan berry.

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.
Sam McGrath.

Hint: 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.
WonderBoy.

Hint: 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.
Gamemaster.

Hint: 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.
IceWhite20.

Hint: Hollywood: Falling Down reference:
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.

Hint: 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.
MITCH.

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.
Jason Guidry.

Hint: Skate Ranch: Slow motion:
Go to the left hand side into the dirty green water. You will enter slow motion mode.
Andrew.

Hint: Van's Skate Park: Electrocution:

AirHead91.

Hint: Van's Skate Park: Bathroom:

Krzymtlbngr113.

Hint: 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.
Wade.

Hint: Pigeon hunt:
Once you get the telescope for the Skate Ranch, it should be on a barren solid concrete arch, on a wooden stand.
ZbattleHelper1.

Hint: Easy points:
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.
Blane Carter.

Hint: Avoiding crashes:
When you do a trick off a ramp into the air, and if it appears that you are going to crash, get off your skateboard while still in the air. You should land safely on your feet.

Hint: 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.

Kelsey Paiz.

Hint: Ride crosshanded:

Steve Conner.

Hint: 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.
Daniel Higgins.

Hint: Flames and sparks without the cheat:
Do a Primo Handstand. When your skater is doing the handstand, immediately press R. 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.
andrew hawk.

Hint: Developer appearance:
During the sequence when you rescue Boone from the Black Widows, the person riding the cow is Joel Jewett from Neversoft.
MyHorribleHero.

Hint: 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.
andrew hawk.

Hint: 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.
M&L Dinardo.

Hint: Fat Albert The Movie reference:
The Roller Coaster and Ferris Wheel are from Fat Albert; even knowing they say that they are from Philadelphia.
Ryan Smith.

Hint: The Karate Kid reference:

Skateboardrain.

Hint: Joe Black (Viewtiful Joe) created skater:
Give your character a light yellow backwards hat with dark red medium length hat hair. Give him that T-shirt with the white collar and sleeve-ends and make it blue. Put on some light yellow cargo shorts and light yellow shoes without socks. His skateoard should have bright, pink wheels and the "thrashed" griptape. Note: You should make a custom graphic that is just "HMD" with the bold cracked font. Put that logo on the front of his shirt and skateboard. He should have a silver watch on his right wrist.
SalaComMander.

Hint: Kat Vondi (Miami Ink) created skater:
Go to created skaters and select Trisha. Make her shirt black. Next make her skirt black and make her combat boots gray. For information, put Kat Vondi or Kat as the name, hometown as Los Angeles, and age 20s to 30s.

Glitch: Beverly Hills: Natas Spinning in mid air:
Go near the place with a patch of grass and quarter pipes along the edges of the grass across from the gas satiation. These quarter pipes are white with a blue stripe near the top of them. Go to the right section of quarter pipe about a skateboard length away from the middle gap. Go off the quarter pipe and go to the top of the ledge (above the mentioned area on the quarter pipe ) and hold R + Y. You will begin to Natas Spin in mid-air slightly above the ledge without a pillar or pole underneath. Note: This may require a few attempts to get the correct position.
maddrummer85.

Glitch: Casino: See Master Zen:

XMoman34.

Glitch: Chicago: Stuck in ceiling:
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat. If you jump around the pool area while on the board where the white markings are inside the pool, you will fly into the air and get stuck in the ceiling. Once you are up there you can do some tricks grabs, specials, and spins, but no manuals. You can get a large number of points. To get down, move either up, down, left or right.
JessMByron.

Glitch: Santa Monica: Get stuck:
Stickerslap by the bus then Wallplant on the opposite wall. Quickly get off your board and get back on. Either walk through the little door or keep walking in to the black wall. If you go through the door you will be half inside the ground until you Ollie. If you go into the black wall you will not be able to do any tricks other than manual and manual mods. You also cannot get out of this area.
Dylan Giovannoni.

Glitch: Skate Ranch: Sky high skater:
Eventually when you are in the Skate Ranch you will have unlocked the elevator. In front of the elevator are two long pieces of wood. Using any character, 50-50 grind the wood piece on the right with great speed. At the very end of the piece of wood, fall off your board backwards into the elevator. If done correctly, the screen will go off to the left and your skater will re-appear up in the sky as if you were skydiving. However, your skater does not actually fall, but the screen will shake and you can do unlimited combos. To exit, press Start and begin a high-score run. Press Start again and end your run. You will re-appear back at the ranch.
Ryan Cook.

Glitch: Vans Skate Park: Walk through wall:
Go near the back of Van's Skate Park, by the sign that reads "Caution stairs ahead bicyclists dismount". At the entrance to the staircase, dismount your bike or board and walk straight into the right or left door. Walk into the wall directly behind the left or right door. You should now be inside the wall and can walk out the way you came in or through the wall. Note: You cannot walk through the black parts. Some times if you try to walk into the black part it will "bounce" you away. When you try to walk into the black part, aim the bounce of your character at the wall. You will go out and become stuck in a walk mode. You cannot get back on your board.
Eric.

Glitch: Vans Skate Park: Float to top:
Go to large wooden halfpipe in the back-left corner (from the entrance). Use a bike and Nose Manual on the edge farthest from the wall of the level. It is the same edge where the ramp into the half pipe is found. Crash the manual by running into the tables near the edge. You will rise to the ceiling and die.

Glitch: Wrong stance:
Andrew Reynolds, Tony Trujillo, and Ryan Sheckler all have their stances as goofy, when they are actually all regular.
brenk.

Glitch: See board shadow without board:
Play as Master Zen in free skate mode. Go to Downtown and go to the underground tunnel. Get off you board and through it by holding B running to the slope where you were manualing for Hector in the main mission. When you get halfway, look at your shadow. You will see a board in you hand when you are not holding anything.
chrisjus42.

Glitch: Skate on feet:
While skating, hold Away and your skater will stop and put his foot down. When he or she does, tap L. He or she will flinch a bit. Keep holding Analog-stick Back. When he or she finally pulls the deck up and gets off the board, release the Analog-stick. You will be skating around on your unmoving feet. You can move around side to side, but if you hit any form of jump or get any air, your skater will magically appear to be back on their board again. This can be done multiple times.
