Notes: Not only does Darth Maul do a Jedi choke on the Rasta
skateshop guy, but he can also do it to other characters in the
game. It worked on everyone except for girls, security guards,
and the photographers. Another Maul tidbit is that instead of
grabing "Stat Points" the Sith Lord grabs "Force Points."

-------------------------------------
It seems that there is three possible board locations for every skater.
I will list the skaters and their boards with a corasponding number to 
the location of the board.

Skater          | Starting Board     | Foundry                 | 
================================================================

Custom Skater   | Red Baker Logo     | Birdhouse Logo (3)      |

Foundry Locations:
(1) Probably one of the easiest boards to get in the game. just 
skate to the right of the start point and go up the quarterpipe.
There it is. Easy.
(2) This one is on the other side of the level. Just skate over by the 
hot tub. Build up enough speed to launch up on to the uper level above 
the control booth and the quarterpipe. The deck is above control booth
on the lip of the upper level. The easiest way to get it is launch up
there and then grind to the deck. 
(3) Fairly easy enough. Go left from starting point down the ramp on the
left side. Stay close to the wall and when you get to the quarter ramp in
front of the cylanders hold up on the controller and you will launch ontop
of the cylanders where the deck is waiting for you.

Airport Locations:
(1) In the same spot as the secret tape only on the othe side of the terminal.
(2) Above the second set of metal detectors or the right side.
-------------------------------------
       Cool Transfers List:
-------------------------------------

Canada: Ahhhh! My Head! (??? pts):
Knock off the head of the totem pole by grinding from wing
to wing. Easy to do if you start from grinding the fence then ]
jump to a grind on the wing.

Suburbia:
Picnic Lip Tric! (100 pts):
Simply to a lip trick on the vertical picnic table on top of
the halfpipe in the trashy mobile home park.

Cruise Ship:
King of the World! (200 pts):
Skate up to the bow of the ship, the very very front of the ship
and to a lip trick on the railing. This a refrernce to the movie
"Titantic" and I swear the first time I did it, it wasn't a transfer
but just a move. My skater had his arms outstreched just like in the 
movie.
-------------------------------------
        Cheats and Codes:
-------------------------------------
Right now people have found only 11 cheats and there is two ways 
to activate them. One is to beat the game perfect with x amount 
of characters and the other is the "backdoor."

Backdoor Code:
(Caution this code may ruin the game for you. Use with caution!)
Simply enter "Backdoor" in the cheat screen. The cheat screen is
found in the options menu. This will unlock all 11 cheats and 
add a cheat menu when you are skating the levels.
