Change branded clothes colors:
------------------------------ 
Note: This trick only works for shirts, hoodies, and jackets. Pause the game, 
and select "Edit Skater" option. Choose the "Merchandise" selection, and find a 
branded clothing item that you want to have a custom color (for example, a 
shirt). Purchase the item, and leave the store. Wear the item, then go back to 
the store. Select the same category of the item that you purchased, for example 
"Shirts", then select "Custom Shirts". Press Start, go to "Edit Receipt", and 
uncheck the shirt. Select the option to go back to the store. You should be 
wearing the branded item and can now customize it. Change its color as desired, 
then press Start.


Mongo Push:
----------- 
Mongo pushing is pushing with your front foot. If you are standing on the board 
with your right foot ahead, press X to push with your right foot. Likewise, if 
your left is in front, press Square to push with your left foot.


"Blaow!" challenge:
------------------- 
Pump and hold R2 on the opposite quarter pipe from the actual gap, where the two 
arrows are located. You should have enough air coming down. Use that speed and 
air with an angle to jump the gap. Use the R2 trick on the tranny of the gap.


"Can You Spell Girl?" challenge:
-------------------------------- 
Restart the challenge until Eric Koston falls. When you get the set trick, do 
540's by pressing the Left Analog-stick and Right Analog-stick in the same 
direction. You can also try triple kickflips or heelflips.


"Dunk Slam" challenge:
---------------------- 
Place one ramp under the backboard almost lined up with it, but slightly in 
front of it. Throw away the other ramp. When you start the challenge, go left 
and up the concrete until you reach the tunnel. Place the set marker as far as 
possible without leaving the challenge area. Skate as fast as possible towards 
the ramp. Hold R1 before hitting the ramp, and it should grab the backboard. Do 
not ollie. Hold that button and press Up as soon as you hit the ramp. Keep 
holding Up until after the handplant. Try adjusting the position of the ramp as 
needed.


"Vert With The Vampire" challenge:
---------------------------------- 
Get air as much as you can by going back and forth on the vert and ollieing. 
Then, hold R2 until you get to the tranny of the window side of the vert. 
Release the button when the tranny ends, and you will be going up the wall.
"Who Lives here?" challenge 
There is a kicker that you need to move to land on. It is to the left of where 
you are supposed to land.


Reg's mini-ramp:
----------------
Successfully complete all Thrasher and Skateboard Magazine challenges; Death Races;
and Demo, Street, and Tranny contests. Slappy will give you the keys to Reg's mini-
ramp. It is located behind the drop into the park, where the game starts. Go into 
the warehouse area, and move some dumpsters to reach it.
Note: It is actually a small bowl/pool area, and not a ramp.
