the only way to land a particularly big drop is to have some kind of tranny. throw a ramp or something in your landing zone and you should be all set.

Are you having trouble with the parking lot challenge? There is a ramp off to the side you have to place in order to land the drop. It'll be to the left in the parking lot.

For grinds to slide, you just move the stick over to the side(either direction)

grind to slide, hop on in 50-50 or 5-0, then give it a little ollie 180 and you should either land in board slide or tail slide.  that one wasnt that hard, once you figure out what youre supposed to do.

that drop one owned me for a while too but there is a ramp nearby that sorts it all out, moving objects around can make quite a few of the tasks easier (eg. slanted table under quarterpipe for the basketball handplant)

From jumps just put a ramp where you wanna land, and grinding is easier the faster your going


Skate 2 is AWESOME

for all the grinds, go to the trick guide and learnedzzz yourself

but, has anyone double misty 10'd the first jump in fun track? i've been sooo close. i can double cork/flip 9, but not double misty 10, haha. the closest i've landed is on my back trucks, and then it shot me up in the air super high

haha, i hit that one a few days ago. I literally tried it 3 times before saying fuck it, and checking the internet. I could just tell that was going to kill me if i didn't look it up.

I hate those challenges where it requires fairly simple stuff, but you just can't get it all together. The last film challenge (hippy jump, 1 foot air, late flip, clear all drops) for some reason took me hours to get, even though it was simple stuff

theres one of the slanted picnic tables nearby. Put the quarter pipe on the picnic table, and just do the handplant on that
