Secret bike limits
When using the secret bike in session or proquest modes,
you cannot set records such as longest grind or biggest air. The
only record you can set is high score.
Longer grinds
When you reach the end of a rail or coping in the game,
jump off and land in a manual. Ride the manual all the way to
the next rail and grind. This all counts as one trick because
of the manual -- you can pull off some long grinds.
Easy nose wheelie
When you are going forward, bunnyhop ([X])and
180 so you are riding backwards. Then, do your nose wheelie as
usual. This will give you better balance.
More tricks
This trick will allow you to do Triple Backflips and
Triple Tailwhips. The basic way to do a Backflip is to press [Down],
[Square]. To do a Double Backflip, press [Down]x2,
[Square]. To do a Triple Backflip, which requires a lot of
air, press [Down]x3, [Square].
Landing tricks
When you are going down straight, press [Square]
and you will land the trick.
Bail
When you get any air, even from a Bunnyhop, press [L1]
+ [R1] + [L2] + [R2] to bail off your bike.
Bail moves
After you bail, hold [L2] + [R1] to make
your character pull his legs backwards. Hold [L1] + [R2]
and your character will bring his legs forward.
Tricks off bike
Bail in air, do a trick, and hold it. For example,
press [Down] + [Square] and he will do a backflip without
his bike.
Hang on for dear life
Hold [Triangle] immediately after you bail or
fall off your bike. Your rider will hang on to the nearest rail,
coping, or jump. Note: Once you release [Triangle], your
rider will let go and fall.
Get on top of houses
Go by a building and jump. Press [L2] + [R2]
+ [L1] + [R1] and sometimes the game will reset with
you on top of a building.
Do flips in bail contest in two player
mode
Enter a two player mode bail contest. When you bail
([R1] + [R2] + [L1] + [L2]) and are high in
the air, press [Up] or [Down] to do flips, or [Right]
or [Left] to do spins.
Corkscrew Flair
Quickly tap [R1] while doing a Backflip ([Down],
[Square]). Note: You can do this trick on street ramps, but
it is easier to land on vert ramps. The message "Corkscrew
Flair" will not appear when the trick is done. It will look
like a barrel roll if done correctly.

Hardcore challenge tips
When you complete a set of hardcore challenges on a
level, the game will reveal one of the following tips.
Greenville - Vail Trails: Hold [X] at the base of the jump
and release at the lip for big air.
Greenville - Greenville Park: Hold the trick button longer for
more points.
Greenville - Backyard Pools: Hold the modifier longer for bigger
points.
Woodward - Woodward Trails: Try double-tapping directions to get
lots of trick variations.
Woodward - Lot 8: Alley-oop air tricks are worth more points than
rotating forward.
Woodward - Titanic: Use nose-wheelies and manuals to keep a trick
set alive.
San Jose Ramp Club: Big Air
When you start at the San Jose Ramp Club, turn around
and go up the ramp. When you get to the top, go down and keep
going to the ramp that brings you to the quarterpipe. You will
grab enough air to do a Triple Backflip ([Down], [Down],
[Down], [Square]).
Sleepy Ditch: Big air
Follow the right trail in Sleepy Ditch and hold [Up]
while going down the huge ramp. Take the ramp and you will be
able to catch more then 70 feet of air.
Woodward Trails: Secret bowl
The secret bowl is behind the second building with
the Big Woodward sign on it. To get to the bowl, go up the jump
to get on the roof. When you are on the roof jump off the back
and you will be at the bowl.
Woodward Trails: Bull
Near the Woodward sign is a small jump. Go back and
ramp off of it. You might land on a balcony. Go off the other
end and you will land by a bull.
Vail Trails: Hardcore challenge mode
Gap the train
Stay were you are at the beginning and wait until you see
a small area in the train . You have to time it just correctly
or you will smash into the train.
Grind more than 180 feet on the hydro tower wires
Get a lot of speed or you will not make it far enough since
you have to grind at a 25 degree angle upwards. When you start
off, go to the far corner of the level (after the creek gap which
is to your left at the start) and follow the quarterpipes. You
will need to go off them in order to get enough speed to make
the grind. You will eventually turn left and go down across the
creek, where there is a large dirt pile which you must launch
off. In order to get onto the rail you must grind to complete
the challenge. Do not bunny-hop at any time while you are on the
rail because you will lose speed. You will go around a U-turn
and come back down the remaining half of the rail.
Grind the telephone wire
You must gap the train to get to the other side . Just follow
the path and go off the jumps and you will land on a black and
purple ramp, which will bounce you up into the air towards the
telephone wire. You may have to do this more than once because
you have to hit the correct location on the trampoline/jump.
Gap the fence off the trailer
Turn right off the start into the area with the trailers that
are attached to the hillside. Go up the hillside and stop. Turn
your bike around to get lined up with the trailer. Go towards
the trailer and launch off the ramp, which is coincidentally attached
to the trailer.
Glitch: Sleepy Ditch area
In Sleepy Ditch, get to the ditch, but break before
you end up in the ditch. Turn to your left about 90 degrees. There
should be a dirt hill in that direction. Go over the hill slowly
and a ledge should appear. Follow it until you reach a place where
you can turn to your left. Go that way until the second ramp past
the big tire you ride under. You should be able to see the sky
on the other side of the trees at the top of the ramp. If you
find that, go off the ramp and you will drop and fall from the
sky. Note: You will have to exit and start the game again, but
it a good location to learn how to do tricks.
Glitch: Greenville Off Ramp construction
sign
On the Greenville Off Ramp level, go up the closed
ramp and ride around the little ramps until you reach the yellow
sign. Jump slightly before the sign and hold [Triangle] +
[Down]. If done correctly you will stall on the other side
of the yellow road block. From there you might be able to get
to the other side of the highway ramp.
