Notes ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT FAQS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What is challenge FAQ? Well it is a faq that makes a game a little bit harder by giveing the player challenges that are harder than what the game presents, to increase the replay value of the game. First off, I got this idea off the gamefaqs.com message board so technically, this is not an entirely original idea. Second, I don't care if you print it out or post it on another website, but since it is a copywrited work of Mike Truitt you will need to e-mail me and ask if you can use it. Other than that, I really do not care what you do with it. If you want to give me a challenge to post on here just e-mail me at mat2810@cs.com and I'll try to post it on here. Try not to repeat the same one over and over. If you do send me one, tell which cheats if any you will need to have on to complete your challenge.

Here, I will try to get most of them in here. 1. Always, skate around and figure out what exactly you will need to do to finish the challenge 2. Try to get at least one of your skaters stats up to the max that they can be 3. Manualing is the key to everything, you can not get most of the challenges with out being able to manual very well. 4. You should get used to the level that you are going to try the challenge on, if you don't you will have to go through a lot of needless frustration. 5. Try not to go too fast or too slow, both can destroy the attempt. 6. Try the challenges in free skate mode, it would be pointless to do in anything other that free skate. 7. Don't give up too easily, some off the challenges are frustrating at first, and will even take a few hours to do them correctly (not the trick itself, but to finally do it right) 8. Look for a shortcut, some times you think that you have to do the challenge on way but instead, you can do it another, and it makes it extremely easier. 9. Learn how to balance yourself well on grinds, even if it is not a part of the challenge, it will help you rack up you point totals. 10. When ever you are loosing you balance on a manual or a grind to a point when you know that you will fall, jump, pull of a trick, and land in a manual or a grind again, sometimes you will fall, but others, for some reason, will balance you out perfectly. 11. Pay attention to some of the challenges, if you have trouble getting high scores, they might help you to figure out some that work good for you. 12. If you cannot do the challenge, try putting in a cheat like all stats at 13, I could have forgotten to put it in the faqs. 13. Use a skater that you are used to, this way you know how to balance him or her on manuals, and you know just how they will react. 14. If you are trying to get high scors, follow some of the lines for the challenges and add a needless amount of jumps into manuals, and also put in special grinds and special manuals. 15. If you are not good at performing quick tricks, turn on the slow-nic code, it will slow down time while you are performing tricks. This will allow you to pull off tricks that you normally would have the reaction time for. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHEATS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To unlock the cheats, you will need to get every goal for all of the non-secret stages in the game.
