INTRODUCTION
It’s time to go to the next level…

BMX Freestyle is my world… a world full of intensity. A world that has given me
nine of the most awesome years of my life! Freestyle BMX is all about pushing
yourself to the edge. It’s all about feeling that special rush every time you compete.
It’s all about realizing the total satisfaction gained each time you land that big
air move!

I’m totally proud to tell you that Acclaim Entertainment’s original, best-selling Dave
Mirra Freestyle BMX video game was, by far, the most awesome, intense and fun
BMX video game ever sold! There is no other game out there that can come
close… until now!

Every BMX rider knows you can’t just sit back on your bike with your bag of tricks
and expect to win. The competition is too intense to rely on what you did yesterday.
We know we have to keep pushing… keep inventing new technologies and new
tricks to keep us at the top of our profession. We know we must always go to that
next level. Well, Acclaim Entertainment knows that feeling too, and they’ve pulled
out all the stops to create the ultimate extreme Freestyle BMX experience: Dave
Mirra Freestyle BMX 2.

This game has everything! You’ll spin, grind and stall your way through massive,
awesome environments. Whether you choose to play as me or any of the other 13
pro riders you’re in for a super time. As in real BMX riding, you’ll learn tricks through
trial and error. And, as you work your bike for all it’s worth, you’ll be rewarded with
better bikes, clothing and equipment sponsors and "Respect!" And we all know
"Respect" is the name of the game!

Knowing how and when to pull off tricks is the secret to earning the "Respect" you
deserve. Throughout each level you will have to master Dirt, Vert, Street and Park
riding to meet the challenges before you, and that is where The Official Dave Mirra
Freestyle BMX 2 Strategy Guide will give you the edge.

In this guide you’ll find the secrets to mastering the control system plus how best
to use the Trick Modifier Button to max out your scores. There are bios for each rider
and everything you’ll need to know about available bike upgrades. You’ll discover the
secrets to scoring and earning "Respect" points. You’ll gain the edge to out-play the
competition in all 13 multi-player games, plus a lot more.
Plus the new Park Editor game feature allows you to create the BMX course of
your dreams!

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 is totally awesome. I’m blown away at what the next
generation gaming systems can do. The graphics are incredible and the music is
killer. The levels are huge, and game-play makes you feel like you’re right there,
riding along with us! And the tricks… forget about it! No game can come close to
creating over 1,500 unique possibilities.

The secret is in the design, and the game developers at Z-Axis have proven once
again, that they are the leaders in BMX Freestyle game development.

Becoming the best BMX Freestyler is no easy task. You’ve got to push yourself.
You’ve got to keep rippin’, keep shreddin’… keep pushing yourself to the edge. It’s
all about developing and maxing out your skills every time you compete. Frustration
and rattled brains come with the territory. Learn to love them… they will make you
a better rider, a better gamer… a better person!

Now it’s time to man your bike and use this cool guide to gain the "Respect" you’re
going to need to outclass the competition. Now is the time to take it to the next
level. Now is the time to learn the secrets behind Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2.

Always believe in yourself… ride for yourself.

Stay Strong,
AUTHORS’ INTRO
A few words from the writers…

Brian Geary
When I was asked if I would be interested in writing this strategy guide for Dave Mirra
Freestyle BMX 2, I jumped at the opportunity. I have been working on the Dave Mirra
video games since they first came into test back with the original Dave Mirra Freestyle
BMX game. To say the least, BMX video games have been my life for the past two
years! A chance to do something special for the game was something I couldn’t pass
up. Little did I know what I was getting into!
Sure, I know the game like the back of my hand. However, translating that knowledge
into written words definitely presented a challenge. Long days and sleepless nights
became the norm. I never realized how much is actually involved in getting a guide
written and published! Lucky for me, my co-writer, editor and Publisher for Acclaim
Publishing Walter Black was there to guide me through the entire process. A big thank
you goes out to him!
In addition, there are a number of others that helped me accomplish my goal. First and
foremost I have to thank my parents for giving me the motivation to write this book.
Along with them, I’d like to thank my sisters Meaghan and Caitlin and the rest of my
family. My friends at work are owed a debt of gratitude also for all they contributed. I
would like to thank Trixie and the rest of IMOC. And I can’t forget The Armed Henchman
(R.I.P) and the rest of the CS community.
And a special thank you to all my friends as well: Jacqie, the coolest guy I know, Nelson
"Doctor" Brolly, Jennifer Dab and her brother Jon, Jake "the ladykilla" Gateson, Drummer
Dan, Colin "Po" Kelly and Kyle "Skunk" Gleason. Last but not least I want to thank Josh
and Ray G. (you know for what), Fatboy, Liz and the rest of the crew. And finally a big
shout out to everyone from Ground Zero (you know who you are), and to anyone else
whom I may have forgotten. It’s been a hell of a ride!

Walter Black
As Director of Publishing Operations for Acclaim Publishing I’ve worked on lots of
strategy guides. However I have to say that getting this book to print was one of the
most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on in quite some time. The game is just fantastic
and co-writing a guide for it was a pleasure.
I have to take my hat off to Brian Geary my co-writer. Brian stepped in, picked up the
ball and ran with it. He may have been new to the strategy guide scene but I had all the
confidence in the world that he’d do a great job and he did. Thanks Brian!
As Publisher, I have to give a sincere thank you to Scott Jenkins, Director of Creative
Services here at Acclaim Entertainment and his entire staff for their tremendous effort
and great execution. Plus a big thank you to all the people in our Quality Assurance
Dept. for helping me get a real working knowledge of what this game is all about.
Finally, I have to thank Debra Kempker, President of Prima Games and Julie Asbury,
Publishing Director at Prima for the support and cooperation I’ve received as we begin
our new co-publishing venture. This guide marks the first book in what I hope will be a
long and prosperous relationship between Acclaim Publishing and Prima. I’m already
looking forward to our next title!

WHAT THE GAME IS ALL ABOUT

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 is all
about riding, challenging the
competition and gaining respect.
Once you earn a little you’ll gain
access to better bikes, sponsors plus
other great stuff. There are tons of
new tricks and levels, and you’ll be
interacting with your surroundings
like never before. There’s even a Park
Editor that lets you create your own
unique BMX environment.
WHAT THE GAME IS ALL ABOUT
Another new feature is Gap Challenges. There
are between 8 and 24 gaps to be found in each
level, and if you are able to find all of them you’ll
earn 1,000 Respect Points. In a Gap Challenge,
your goal is to keep riding and pull off some
tricks over the "gaps" in the terrain. Gap
Challenges are not obvious or mandatory, but
are designed to reward you with additional
Respect Points.

The Acclaim Games Competition is a traditional

event where you get two runs and are judged
on your creativity and use of the level.

Challenges and Competitions take place in any

of four area types, Vert, Street, Dirt and Park.
There are five different challenge sets for each
level: Rookie, Amateur, Pro, Hardcore, and

2. HIGH FIVE
A best-of-five series to see who can do the
biggest single trick in 30 seconds.

You have five opportunities to pull off your

biggest trick possible, each in just a 30-second
timeframe. This may not seem like much time to
accomplish your mission but there is a way to
bust out a big score and squash your
competition.

Here’s a great way to win the High Five battle.

you can build up some speed, and use the last 5

where opportunity knocks. However, the best
way to win the Best Run competition is to find a
half pipe that you are comfortable with, and stay
there! This way you can concentrate on pulling
tricks rather than simply riding and jumping.

To maximize your score, ride back and forth in

the half pipe pulling tricks on every jump.
Remember performing the same trick more than
once will cause you to get fewer points, so you
must perform a variety of tricks in order to build
up your highest potential score. You’ll get more
points if you perform combos, so land into
manuals as often as you can. Be sure to land
the trick set, and at all costs… don’t crash!

The classic basketball game adapted for BMX.

match it or get stuck with a letter. The first player

8. BIG AIR CONTEST
Three chances to see who can get the biggest
air. Each run lasts 30 seconds.

Grabbing big air is one of the most exciting feats

of freestyle BMX. The potential for big air exists
in tons of places within each and every level.
However, to maximize your true big air talents
there are a few things you must remember.

The only place to really win the Big Air

competition is in a half pipe. To come out on top
of the Big Air competition simply drop into the
half pipe and get as much air as you can.

to your advantage.

Here’s a great way to out-class the competition.

Manuals and grinds should be used as often as
possible to keep your trick sets alive. Try to find
a good line that will allow for easy manuals and
grinds. Usually a small ramp park within the
level is the best place to perform your trick set.
They almost always have a plethora of ramps
and grindable edges needed to keep your trick
set going. Bust out a big combo and leave your
opponent in the dust!

Rookie Challenge
Clear 10,000 points in a single run.

As the first challenge in the Proquest mode, clearing 10,000 points is definitely
entry level acrobatics. This challenge can be done right from where you start off, so
you don’t even have to leave the first half pipe area! Simply drop down into the half
pipe below, and ride it back and forth performing tricks during each jump.
Remember for the biggest air release the Jump Button as close to the lip of the
quarter pipe as possible.
Amateur Challenges CHAPTER SEVEN
1. Knock over four ladders. PAGE 75
2. Get over 25 feet of air in the Titanic Vert Ramp.
3. Transfer over the Titanic Vert Ramp Channel.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
4. Kenan Harkin Challenge – Clear the glowing jumps at the
Woodward Trails 8-pack.

Knock over four ladders.

Your first Amateur Challenge is quite easy. The trick here is
finding the locations of the four ladders and getting to them
within the allotted amount of time. To knock over the four ladders
all you have to do is ride into each of them. To find the locations
of the ladders, refer to the map of Woodward Camp. Locate
each of them on the map and familiarize yourself with the best
possible routes for getting to them. You’ll find one against the
Playground, one leaning on the roof of one of the cabins, one on
the pool leaning against the Egypt building, and the last resting
against the Morton building.

To knock over the ladders be sure to make contact with them. It

doesn’t matter if you grind them, jump on them or ride right
through them. Just make contact and head for the next one. The
ladders will be flashing a green color to help you locate them.

Get over 25 feet of air in the Titanic Vert Ramp.

Your second Amateur Challenge is also simple to perform.
Getting over 25 feet of air on the Titanic Vert Ramp shouldn’t
take too much time at all! Again, this challenge will be executed
in the same area where you defeated the Rookie Challenge. You
start out on top of a roll-in dropping down into the Titanic Vert
Ramp. Start riding down the roll-in, and then hold the Jump
Button. The roll-in will give you the needed momentum for the
25 feet. Then release the Jump Button at the lip of the ramp and
you should have enough air to clear the 25-foot mark.

To know how much air you are getting, be sure to keep your eye
on the on-screen height meter. This will let you know how high
you’ve gotten. You will also receive an on-screen display
indicating that you have achieved your goal.

Transfer over the Titanic Vert Ramp Channel.

Transferring over the Titanic Vert Ramp will begin to test your
freestyle skills. The ramps that you must start and finish on will
have a green glow to them. To transfer over the Titanic Vert
Ramp Channel, ride down the roll-in to the Titanic. You will need
to come at the ramp from an angle, so take a few shots at
positioning yourself correctly to execute the move.

You will find the channel in the middle of the quarter pipe
between the glowing ramps. To transfer over the channel angle
your bike to the right so you can jump up and over the gap in the
middle of the quarter pipe. Unless you are already skilled at
maneuvering your BMX rider, this challenge will probably take
you a number of attempts to complete.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Kenan Harkin Challenge – Clear the glowing jumps at
the Woodward Trails 8-pack.
Your first rider challenge comes from Kenan Harkin. He’s been
sessioning up at the top of the Woodward Trails 8-pack. Now
that you’ve located him, it’s time to see if you can meet his
challenge.

To clear the jumps in the Woodward Trails 8-pack, ride to the

top of Woodward Trails. There you will find a wooden ramp
leading to a platform. Go to the top of the wooden platform,
and then ride down the hill while holding the Jump Button.
Release the Jump Button when you are almost to the top of each of the 8-pack jumps. If you release the
Jump Button too early, you will not get enough distance to clear the jump. On the other hand, if you press
it too late, you will over shoot the jump and land on the next one. Again, practice and timing will get you
through Kenan’s challenge.

CHAPTER SEVEN Pro Challenges

PAGE 76 1. Grind the four Lot 8 doors open.
2. Pull a 360 spin anywhere.
3. Bust out a 5,000 point trick set score.
4. Ryan Nyquist Challenge – Manual the picnic bench in the outdoor street.

Grind the four Lot 8 doors open.

If you haven’t done so already, locate the Lot 8 building on the level map. Your job
here is to open the Lot 8 doors by grinding the glowing rails. Here is a good
opportunity to work on your grinding skills because later challenges will demand
grinding perfection!

Grinding the Lot 8 doors is fairly simple. Remember you only have a certain
amount of time to grind them all or you will have to start over again. To grind the
Lot 8 doors open, you must ride to the Lot 8 building, then jump up onto each of
the rails that run alongside the Lot 8 doors. Once you near the rails simple jump
and press the Grind Button to grind them open.

Pull a 360 spin anywhere.

This challenge will help you familiarize yourself with the art of the spin. Again,
these early challenges act as teaching tools for the demands that will be put upon
you later in the Proquest mode. Practice your spins and you should have no
problem accomplishing this challenge. Besides, it’s only a 360 spin. What until you
see what’s in store for you later!

To pull a 360 you really don’t need much air. Ramps are the best place to
accomplish this challenge. Just go to any ramp, and jump off of it while holding the
Spin Button. Your on-screen display will let you know how many rotations you have
achieved. Release the Spin Button after you have completed the 360 and presto!

Bust out a 5,000 point trick set score.

Things are beginning to heat up! Now is the time to work on developing your trick
set. Again, knowing the best way to string tricks together will come in handy later
on as the trick set point values you must reach continue to climb.

To pull a 5,000-point trick set, you must use the manual. The manual will become
one of your best friends as you proceed through your challenges.
To begin, jump off of a ramp and perform any trick. Then before
you land, press down on the d-pad twice so that you land into a
CHAPTER SEVEN
manual. Hold that manual until you can get to another ramp.
Once you’ve successfully reached another ramp, ride up that PAGE 77
ramp while still in the manual. Jump off the ramp into another
trick. Repeat this as many times as necessary until your trick set

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
score reaches 5,000 points.

Ryan Nyquist Challenge – Manual the picnic bench in

the outdoor street.
Your Pro Challenge comes from Ryan Nyquist. Now that you
have mastered the manual, this challenge should be a piece of
cake. There is a picnic table located in the Outdoor Street Park.
You’ll have to jump up and manual across the picnic table. Refer
to your level map for its location.

To manual the picnic bench, ride to the Outdoor Park next to the
Titanic. Then ride up the small ramp next to the picnic table.
Jump off of the ramp and land into a manual on the table. Be
sure to watch your balance in your manual so you don’t crash.
You can see how you are balancing by watching the on-screen
indicator which appears each time you enter a manual. Again,
knowing how to perform manuals will bring you greater rewards
as you progress.

Hardcore Challenge
1. Wallride the four Cloud 9 doors open.
2. Grind 525 feet down the rails near the trails.
3. Pull Backflips down the Woodward Trails 8-pack.
4. Colin Mackay Challenge – Transfer from one cabin roof to another.

Wallride the four Cloud 9 doors open.

Your first Hardcore Challenge is to wallride the Cloud 9 Building
doors to open them. Perfecting your wallriding skills will also be
essential to completing the challenges that lay ahead. If you
haven’t seen the Cloud 9 Building in your travels around
Woodward Camp, refer to your level map. Remember you only
have a certain amount of time to accomplish this challenge.
From the start, go directly to the Cloud 9 Building and get those
wallrides going!

To wallride the Cloud 9 doors, ride to the Cloud 9 Building. Once

there, position your rider next to the flashing yellow wall. As you
approach the target jump up towards the wall, and press Up and
the Jump Button simultaneously to perform the wallride. You will
have to do this on the glowing walls next to each of the four
doors. Once achieved you will have opened the doors to the
Cloud 9 riding area.

Grind 525 feet down the rails near the trails.

Hopefully by now you have gotten comfortable with your
grinding skills, because now you are going to need them. The
rails you must grind are located alongside the Woodward Trails 8-
Pack. You can find their location on the level map.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
To grind 525 feet down the rails, proceed to the top of the trails. Then jump up onto the small fence next
to the trails, and grind your way down to the bottom. As you grind down, try to angle your bike towards
the next rail, jump out of the grind and try to grind onto the next rail. If you don’t make it onto the next
rail, manual back to the rail, and jump back on. As long as you maintain a trick set, your grind length will
remain cumulative. Sounds simple right? Give it a shot and good luck!

Pull Backflips down the Woodward Trails 8-pack.

This challenge takes place back at the Woodward Trails 8-
pack. Familiarize yourself with the button controls needed
to perform a Backflip. The challenge begins at the top of the
8-pack as in one of the earlier level challenges.

To defeat this challenge you must do the Backflips over the

8-pack. Simply jump down them just like you did the first
time. This time however, add in a backflip during each jump.
Although this is not the most difficult of maneuvers, it may
take you a bit of trying to finish the challenge. Again,
practice, practice, practice. You will be rewarded when the Backflip becomes second nature to you. Later
CHAPTER SEVEN challenges will ask the most of your flipping ability.

Colin Mackay’s challenge will take you to the top of one of the cabin roofs. Colin is
hiding up there, waiting to offer you the challenge. To locate which roof he is on,
refer to the Woodward Camp level map.

To transfer between the cabin roofs you must first get up on the roof itself. Use
the dirt ramp located next to the cabin. Jump off the ramp to get up onto the roof.
There you will meet Colin who’s been sessioning in some weird places evidently!
On the roof there is a ramp. You must use the ramp to transfer to the next cabin
roof. Simply get some speed and ride off of the ramp on the roof, to the ramp on
the next roof of the adjacent cabin. Be sure to get some good air because there is
a good amount of distance you must cross to accomplish this challenge. Go for it!

Insane Challenge
1. Leigh Ramsdell Challenge – Grind the four glowing floodlights above the outdoor rhythm section.

Leigh Ramsdell’s Insane Challenge

First, locate Leigh on your level map. Once you’ve spoken to him, it’s time to
defeat this insane challenge and it’s not going to be easy.

To beat this challenge, you have to go to the Rhythm Section located outside the
Lot 8 Building. Again, you can refer to your level map for its location. Now, ride
straight up the right side of the quarter pipe closest to the Egypt Building and
press the Grind Button to grind the first floodlight. Next, you must ride across to
the opposite quarter pipe, jump up it to get some air and speed, and then ride up
the right side of the first wedge and jump off of it to get to the second floodlight.

The third and fourth floodlights are positioned behind each of the two quarter pipes. They can be reached
by riding up each of the quarter pipes, and transferring up and over them by holding the Up Button while
releasing the Jump Button. Does this sound a bit tricky? You bet it is! Good luck. Once accomplished you
have finished your Woodward Camp challenges.

TRAINYARDS
The second level in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 is an industrial train yard with all the things you'd
expect to see there. This level has huge oil tankers you can jump onto, functioning freighter trains to
dodge and even an abandoned terminal to explore. You don't even realize how much a train yard can
function as a BMXer's paradise until you experience this level in the game.

Rookie Challenge
Clear 20,000 points in a single run.

This time your Rookie Challenge is a bit harder. You will

have to earn twice as many points within the allotted
timeframe in order to move on to the next set of
challenges. The Trainyards offer numerous places to build up
your point totals. Here is a good example.

To clear 20,000 points, ride forward from your starting position, and ride down between the two sets of
stairs. Then continue forward to the half pipe ahead. If you stay in this half pipe area and perform tricks
as in the Woodward Camp Rookie Challenge, you should be able to get the 20,000 points that are needed
to complete the challenge. Make use of your manual skills to string tricks together for higher scores. Once
you’ve reached the 20,000 point mark you will receive an on-screen display indicating that the challenge
has been met!

CHAPTER SEVEN
PAGE 80 Amateur Challenges
1. Wallride the four billboards on the canopies.
2. Grind the station chandelier.
3. Grind over 100 feet.
4. Zach Shaw Challenge – Wallride the Huffy traincar.

Wallride the four billboards on the canopies.

You have to Wallride the four billboards on the platform benches. The billboards will
be glowing so you will know where they are located. You can also refer to your
level map to find the location.

The four billboards that you have to wall ride are located on the platform benches
near your start-off point. Ride over to each of them, and perform the Wallride along
them. Once you have completed the challenge your on-screen display will let you
know that the challenge is complete.

Grind the station chandelier.

The challenges are beginning to get a little tricky now! The chandelier is located in
the train station. If you haven’t been to the train station yet you’ll find it marked on
your level map. Hopefully by now you have mastered your grinding skills because
balance is the key to completing this challenge.

To grind the station chandelier, go directly to the train station and ride up one of the
two sets of stairs that lay in front of you. Once you reach the top, ride up the
quarter pipe straight ahead to build up some speed. Once you have enough speed,
ride down to the area between the two flights of stairs and use the small kicker to
jump onto and grind the chandelier. The chandelier will be glowing. This challenge
will test your jumping and grinding abilities. If at first you down succeed, try, try
again! No one said this was going to be easy!

Grind over 100 feet.

Ginding over 100 feet should be simple for you at this point. The Trainyards offer
great places to perfect your grinding talent. You will have to build up speed to
complete this challenge, but again, this should not pose any problem.

The best possible places to defeat this challenge are along the many train tracks
located within the level. To grind the 100 feet simply ride along a
set of train tracks until you’ve reached your maximum pedaling
CHAPTER SEVEN
speed. Again, speed is important here since 100 feet is quite a
distance! Next, jump onto and grind along the tracks until you’ve PAGE 81
reached 100 feet. Pay attention to the on-screen indicators to
determine the length of your grind. Keep your balance and you

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
should have no problem moving on to your next challenge.

Zach Shaw Challenge – Wallride the Huffy traincar.

Your first Insane Challenge of the level comes from Zach Shaw.
Zach can be found sessioning down by the railroad tracks. He’s
waiting for you to come and meet his challenge. Unlike other
Wallride challenges, this time out you will have to Wallride a
moving object. In this case it’s a moving train car! If you mess
up here you’ll be in for a rough landing so make the most of it!

The Huffy train car runs along the rail line parallel and closest to
the two cargo ships. The train may not be there when you get to
the area so be patient. Just wait for the train to come to you,
and then use one of the small ramps and jump alongside the
train and Wallride the Huffy train car. You can’t miss the Huffy
train car. It’s the car right behind the engine, and it has Huffy
written on it. If you don’t spot it you better hang up your pads
and go home!

Pro Challenges
1. Break the four windows in the train station.
2. Jump over the moving flatbed car.
3. Perform a 4-trick combo.
4. Troy McMurray Challenge – Do a Fastplant on the clock.

Break the four windows in the train station.

Again, the action is taking place in the train station. This time you
have to break the windows on the upper level. By now you
should be familiar with the location of the station since you’ve
been there before.

To break the four station windows you must ride up to the

second floor of the station and ride over to the side of the
station that faces the water. Then, as you approach that side of
the station, charge a jump and release the Jump Button as you
approach the railing at the end of the station. The rider will jump
up and the top half of his body will break through the glass. Do
this on each of the four sections of glass. Don’t worry, the glass
isn’t going to hurt you, but a wipeout afterward certainly will.
Remember you have only a certain amount of time to complete
this challenge.

Jump over the moving flatbed car.

This challenge is pretty straight forward. Timing is the key to
winning here, as are your jumping skills. Since you have been
wandering around the Trainyards for a while now, you have
probably passed a flatbed car in your travels. Now is the time to
attack that bad boy and clear the challenge.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
To jump the flatbed car, simply ride to any of the small ramps alongside the rails the trains ride along.
Again, be patient, the train will come to you. As the train approaches ride up the ramp as the flatbed car is
passing by it. Again, timing is the key here. Then use the ramp to boost yourself up and over the flatbed
car. Sounds simple enough. Go give it a try. This challenge should be a walk in the park!

Perform a 4-trick combo.

This challenge will test your trick combo skills. The Trainyards
offer many places for you to attempt this challenge. Travel
about the level and find a place that you are comfortable riding
in and give it a go. Here is a suggestion for one of the easier
ways to pass this challenge.

To perform a 4 trick combo, all you have to do is link together 4

tricks. They can be linked with manuals, grinds, wallrides, and
stalls. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to get to
the train tracks. Simply grind the train tracks, then jump out of
the grind and pull a quick modifier or trick. Once you’ve performed the trick you can then land into a
manual. From the manual, jump again and do another trick. You will then receive an on-screen notification
CHAPTER SEVEN that you have completed the challenge. At that point you can land and end the trick set.
PAGE 82

Troy McMurray Challenge – Do a Fastplant on the clock.

Troy McMurray’s challenge is pretty easy. The clock is located between the two
staircases in the train station. If you have completed the earlier challenges you
have passed the clock on a number of occasions. Now it’s time to stop ignoring it
and give it a good Fastplant.

To Fastplant the clock from your starting position, ride forward to the station. Once
there, ride up the inside edge of one of the stairways. Timing again is key to
executing the challenge. Jump into the area between the two stairways once you
are about halfway up the stairs. Once you’ve jumped, press left and the Jump
Button to perform the Fastplant. It may take you a number of attempts to get your
Fastplant and timing skills down but don’t get discouraged. Keep at it until the
challenge is met!

Hardcore Challenges
1. Get on the deck of each cargo ship.
2. Transfer between two commuter bench awnings.
3. Grind-to-Grind transfer between each commuter bench.
4. Mike Laird Challenge – Transfer between the bulldozers.

Get on the deck of each cargo ship.

Now it’s time to move away from the train tracks and head for the water. The
locations of the cargo ships can be found on your level map. You will have to get on
to two ships to complete the challenge. Big air is necessary, so make sure you
have enough speed going into the jump to transfer over the gap. Pay close
attention to your landing because you’re not going to want to do this again if you
don’t have to!

To get onto the first cargo ship, ride to the area of the docks that sticks out
towards the water. Jump from there onto the deck of the first cargo ship. Then get
back onto the docks and ride over to the end of the other ship. There will be two
small quarter pipes next to the ship. If you get some speed, you will be able to jump from the quarter
pipe over onto the deck of the second ship. Remember you are going to need to get some decent air to
make the jump successfully. Good luck!
Transfer between two commuter bench awnings.
You’ve already seen where the commuter benches are. This
CHAPTER SEVEN
time, however you are going to have to look at them from a
PAGE 83
much different angle. This time to have to get above them, not
ride next to them! Again, the action will begin in the train station
and take you out onto the bench awnings. Here is the best way

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
to accomplish this challenge.

To transfer between the awnings, ride up to the second floor of

the station. Once there, ride to the area where you broke
through the station windows earlier. Look around for the wooden
plank. You are going to need it. Use the wooden plank in the
middle of the railing to jump over to the awnings. Once you are
safely on the awning, jump to any of the other awnings and you
will have completed this challenge. Now give it a try, and watch
your balance coming off of that wooden ramp!

Grind-to-Grind transfer between each

commuter bench.
Now you’re back to grinding and back to the commuter benches.
This time you’re back on the ground, not riding around up on the
awnings! By now you should be an accomplished grinder. You
better be! This time you will have to do a grind-to-grind transfer
between the benches. This is not as easy as it may seem.

To grind transfer the benches, approach them from the side, and
grind onto one of them. Then hold down the Jump Button as you
grind and release it at the end of the bench. Next, jump over to
and grind the adjacent bench. Remember to keep your rider
balanced in the middle or you will jump off to the left or right of
the bench, and you’ll have to do it all over again! Balance during
your grind is essential to complete this challenge.

Mike Laird Challenge – Transfer between

the bulldozers.
Mike Laird is waiting for you over in the construction area. Find
his location on the level map and go over and see what he’s up
to. The blades on the bulldozers make great ramps and Mike has
a special challenge for you to take advantage of. This challenge
will require some big air so get ready.

To transfer the bulldozers, ride behind the station to the area

above the half pipe. Use the dirt hill next to the station to get
enough speed to make the bulldozer transfer. Angle the bike as
far left as you can just before you reach the bulldozer. At this
point, try to jump from one bulldozer to the other. This challenge
is very hard. If you don’t make it the first time, try adjusting the
angle that you turn to before you jump. Don’t give up! No
challenge is too difficult to complete if you consider yourself a
BMX freestyle king!
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Insane Challenge
Luc-E Challenge – Manual over the flatbed car.

Luc-E’s Insane Challenge

John "Luc-E" Englebert is sessioning up on top of the Rampage
building. Check your level map for his location. Getting to him
may present the hardest part of the challenge. Once you’ve
gotten to the top of the building Luc-E will dare you to manual
the flatbed car.

To manual the flatbed car, ride to the rooftop where Luc-E gave
you the challenge, and wait for the train to come riding
between the two buildings. As the flatbed car passes, jump
off of the roof and into a manual on the flatbed car. Simple
enough right? Give it a try and remember to keep your
balance.

Rookie Challenge
Clear 30,000 points in a single run.

Swampy Trails is different from the previous levels. Instead of

containing numerous vert ramps to allow the rider to jump high
in the air, Swampy Trails uses long sections of small ramps called
rhythm sections. Use these areas to string together long trick
sets. Jump off a ramp into an air trick, then land into a manual,
and jump off the next ramp and continue this until you have
30,000 points.

Amateur Challenges
1. Grind the four glowing tree branches.
2. Wallride the fanboat garage to open the doors.
3. Grind-to-Grind between any two logs.
4. Leigh Ramsdell Challenge – Do a trick over the fallen tree trunk in the upper 8-pack.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Grind the four glowing tree branches.
Your first Amateur Challenge will take you into the treetops!
The branches may be difficult to spot but if you look around
hard enough you’ll find them. Again, you grinding skills are a
must to complete this challenge

To grind the 4 tree branches, refer to the level map for their
locations. Each of the branches will have a small ramp
underneath it that will allow you to jump up to their height. If
you are having trouble finding any of the branches, ride around
in the general area and wait for the blue challenge text to
appear in the upper right corner of the screen. When this happens, you are close to the branch. Just look
around for the glowing green wire frame. Once you are grinding the first branch, the others will be right in
front of you.

Wallride the fanboat garage to open the doors.

Now it’s on to the fanboat garage. There is a lot of action
happening down at the garage, as you will see. Find the
CHAPTER SEVEN location of the garage on your level map. From your starting
PAGE 86 position travel directly to the garage to complete the challenge
before your time expires. In order to open the fanboat garage
doors, you are going to have to Wallride them, so get ready!

The fanboat garage has two doors that need to be opened. By

now you should be an expert at Wallriding. To beat the
challenge ride to the garage and Wallride both halves of the
area between the two doors, and doors will open.

Grind-to-Grind between any two logs.

Swampy Trails is filled with trees, both living and dead. There are any number of
places where you can go and grind your heart out. To complete this challenge you
will have to locate the glowing logs and perform a grind-to-grind transfer between
them. You can refer to your level map to find the location of these logs.

There are many logs laid out around this level, grind onto any one glowing log.
Next, jump off of it while aiming towards another nearby log. Then grind onto the
next log before hitting the ground. Once accomplished you will have beat the
challenge. Again, balance is of paramount importance when executing this
maneuver. Give it a shot, it’s really not that difficult.

Leigh Ramsdell Challenge – Do a trick over the fallen tree trunk in the
upper 8-pack.
Your first Swampy Trails Insane Challenge comes from Leigh Ramsdell. Leigh is
sessioning over near the upper 8-pack. Now he wants you to pull a big trick over
the fallen tree trunk at the top of the dirt ramp.

From your starting position, ride to the upper 8-pack. Once there you will find two
large dirt ramps with a giant tree trunk between them. To complete this challenge
all you have to do is get some speed by riding down one of the nearby hills, jump
up over the fallen tree trunk, and perform any trick you want while in the air. This
one should be a cinch to complete.
Pro Challenges CHAPTER SEVEN
1. Destroy four rusty boats hanging in the fanboat garage. PAGE 87
2. Open the back boat garage door with a Wallride.
3. Pull a modified Backflip between the junkyard trailers.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
4. Joey Garcia Challenge – Grind the drawbridge support cable to
lower it.

Destroy four rusty boats hanging in the

fanboat garage.
Open the back boat garage door with a Wallride.
Your first Pro Challenge brings you back to the fanboat garage.
Inside the garage are four old boats hanging from the ceiling.
There are a few ways to destroy the boats so take your pick. But
before doing so is would be best to complete your second
challenge first.

Sometimes it is best to do one of your challenges before

another. This is a perfect example. To destroy the rusty boats you
should first open the back boat garage door. To open the back
boat garage door, ride to the fanboat garage, ride into the
garage, and Wallride on the other side of the wall you rode on to
open the first set of doors. This will complete challenge number
two and make it easier to complete challenge number 1.

Once you have done this, ride out of the door you just opened,
and ride up the ramp to the right of the door. From the second
floor of the boat garage, you will be able to jump down onto and
through each of the four rusty boats.

Pull a modified Backflip between the junkyard trailers.

The fanboat garage sure has a lot of things going on! Here is
another challenge down by the water. To locate the trailers refer
to your level map. If you’ve been practicing your Backflips, and
know how to use your Modifier Button, this challenge should be
a breeze.

The junkyard trailers are positioned outside of the fanboat

garage. Find them, and jump from one to the other while
performing a modified Backflip. This is done by pressing down
on the d-pad, then pressing the Trick Button, and then
immediately pressing any direction simultaneously with the
modifier button. Sounds a bit complicated? Not really!

Joey Garcia Challenge – Grind the drawbridge support

cable to lower it.
This challenge is a tough one so be prepared! Joey Garcia must
have it in for you. Find Joey’s location using the level map and
take a ride to see him. Again, the action takes place at the
garage, this time around back, up on the second floor. Hopefully
your jumping and grinding skills have been perfected by now.

To grind the support cable, you have to ride up the ramp to the
second floor of the fanboat garage. Once you are on the second
floor, you have to jump through the window next to the
drawbridge and grind onto the cable. This challenge is hard,
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
because you can’t see the cable until you are already through the window. So you will have to try this one
a few times until you can judge the correct angle to jump through the window so that you will land on the
cable. Once you’ve landed correctly, the grind should be the easy part! Don’t let it get you down if it takes
a while! That’s what the game is all about!

Hardcore Challenges
1. Pull four modified supermans on the upper eight-pack.
2. Grind the three sections of the tree canopy.
3. Transfer from the fanboat garage across the channel.
4. Todd Lyons Challenge – Grind on any of the fanboats.

Pull four modified supermans on the upper

eight-pack.
Your first Hardcore Challenge brings you back to the upper 8-
pack area. Now is the time to show what you’ve got when it
comes to pulling off modified tricks. In this case you’ll need to
pull four modified supermans in order to complete the
CHAPTER
challenge and move on. As you can see, the challenges are
PAGE 88
getting harder, so be sure to practice up on your skills before
attempting these tougher challenges.

To do the four modified supermans you have to ride to the

upper 8-pack, Then you must jump over each of the four jumps while pulling a modified superman over
each one. As long as you can jump over the first jump in the 8-pack, execute your modified superman and
land successfully, you should have enough speed to clear the remaining three jumps.

Grind the three sections of the tree canopy.

The next hardcore challenge brings you back to the treetops! Now you have to
grind the three sections of the tree canopy. You will find the location of the tree
canopy on your level map. Once located, it’s time to go for it.

The three sections of the tree canopy are about 90° to the left of your starting
point. Ride over to this area, and there will be a gray ramp that leads to a series of
three tree branches. Use the gray ramp to get to the first branch, and then grind
from branch to branch to get to the other two. Once you have successfully
completed the grinds across the three branches you have beaten the challenge!
Congratulations!

Transfer from the fanboat garage across the channel.

This challenge can be a little tricky if you do not know what you are looking for or
where to find it. Once again the boat garage is the place to be! You’ve got to
transfer across the channel so you’ll need a ramp. Here’s how to find it and use it!

The ramp to transfer from the garage across the channel is hidden in a box that is
at the top of the ramp leading to the second floor of the boat garage. Ride into the
box to break it. Then ride along the second floor of the garage until you are riding
fast enough to get the big air necessary to clear the channel. Then jump off of the
ramp to the land across the channel down below. Again, this challenge may be
difficult for some, so don’t get frustrated. Hang in there. You’ll do it!
Todd Lyons Challenge – Grind on any of the fanboats.
This challenge comes from Todd Lyons. Locate him on your level
CHAPTER SEVEN
map and see what he’s got in mind. Actually, he wants you to
PAGE 89
grind one of the fanboats as it races down the channel. Sounds a
bit crazy? You bet! But here is a good way to get the job done.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Grinding the fanboats can be done from almost anywhere along
the channel, but it is most easily done from the broken bridge
leading to the bird refuge island. Ride to this bridge and look
down the river to see when a fanboat is coming, Timing is of the
utmost importance here. Try to time your jump so the fanboat
passes underneath you as you jump. If you time it just right you
will be able to grind along the fanboat and over to the other side
of the channel. If you don’t make it you’ll get a bit wet so just
wipe yourself off and give it another go. This one may take a
while, but once accomplished, it’ll feel great!

Insane Challenge
Ryan Nyquist Challenge – Grind all the way from the garage to
the bird refuge island.

Ryan Nyquist’s Insane Challenge

Ryan is gunning for you! The challenge calls for a very long grind
so balance is important. Once again for the final time the action
is down at the garage. However this time the action is not inside
the garage, nor on the second floor. This time you are going to
have to get up on the garage roof in order to complete the
challenge. Not only is this one difficult but it’s a bit sneaky too.

This challenge is tricky. Ride the ramp up to the second floor of

the garage. Then you must ride along the non-breakable boats to
the other section of the roof. After reaching the other roof
section you will have to Wallride the section of wall where it
makes a 90° turn. Wallride into the corner, and use the Jump
Button to jump from the corner up onto the roof. From here you
will be able to ride over and grind the cable that runs all the way
from the garage, over the drawbridge, and to bird refuge island.
Once successfully completed you have mastered all the
challenges in the level. Excellent!

Rookie Challenge
Clear 40,000 points in a single run.

The rookie challenges are beginning to become a bit more

demanding! However, by this time you should be skilled enough
to achieve your score within the allotted time frame. If you are
having trouble, here is a simple solution to earning your 40,000
points.

If you want to clear 40,000 points easily, ride to the construction area. Once you are there, you will
see three bowls next to each other. If you ride around performing tricks in these three bowls, you
should have no problem getting 40,000 points.

Amateur Challenges
1. Break the four glowing lamps on the park stone wall.
2. Wallride the walkway support over the stair gap.
3. Jump over any police car.
4. Rick Moliterno Challenge – Grind the electric wire that crosses over Madison Street.

Break the four glowing lamps on the park stone wall.

Your first Amateur Challenge in the Commercial District is
simple. But don’t think the entire level is going to be easy. Things
are about to get real tough! Once you’ve located the wall and
the lamps you should have no problem taking them out.

To break the four glowing lamps ride to the end of the wall in the
park that parallels one of the main streets. Ride onto the top of
the wall where it dips down to ground level. Then simply ride
along the wall hitting each of the lights as you go along. Try not
to ride too fast. Riding fast makes it difficult to stay on top of the
wall, and you could end up being launched over each of the
ramps and over the lamps instead of riding into them.

Wallride the walkway support over the stair gap.

Your second Amateur Challenge is also fairly easy. It is located at
the pedestrian overpass. Find the walkway on your level map.
Once you’ve reached the walkway, the walkway support will be
glowing so you’ll know you are in the right spot. If you’ve
become skilled at pulling Wallrides, and you’ve gotten up enough
speed, you should not have a problem here.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
To do this Wallride go to the pedestrian overpass, and jump towards the wall that hangs over the stairs
going down to the lower level. When you are near the wall perform the Wallride to complete the
challenge.

Jump over any police car.

Those pesky police cars seem to be all over the place. You’ll be
able to find them on any of the major roadways running
through the Commercial District. Now is the time to put your
timed jumping skills to the test and give the local policemen
something to think about! This challenge is a lot of fun, and
one you’ll want to try in different places over and over again.

To jump over a police car ride to one of the sloping downhill

streets. Begin riding down the slope while holding the Jump
Button. When a police car approaches release the Jump
Button just before the cop hits you and you will jump over the car. Timing is critical here. If you wait too
long to execute your jump you’re destined to become roadkill!
CHAPTER SEVEN
PAGE 92 Rick Moliterno Challenge – Grind the electric wire
that crosses over Madison Street.
Rick is sessioning over at the cement bowl in the park. He
wants to challenge you to perform a high wire act over
Madison Street. The challenge itself is straightforward however
should you lose your balance it’s a long way down to street
level. And, there are a ton of cars just waiting for someone like
you to fall from the sky.

First locate Madison Street on your level map. The wire you
will have to across is near the intersection of Madison and
Washington, right in the heart of the district. To grind the wire over Madison Street ride to the wall that
runs underneath the wire. Ride onto the top of this wall, and then ride to the end of the wall. Once there,
jump off of the wall, up to the wire and press the Grind Button. Remember to keep your balance.

Pro Challenges
1. Break all four of the lower level plaza awnings.
2. Pull an 8-trick combo anywhere.
3. Grind transfer from the walkway rail to the support arch.
4. Tim Mirra Challenge – Manual 50 feet on the plank in the construction area.

Break all four of the lower level plaza awnings.

Now it’s time to smash some serious glass. You will need to get good height using
the half pipes, so be sure your jumping skills are up to par. The glass awnings are
located in the plaza. Refer to your level map to find the area. Don’t worry, the glass
isn’t going to hurt you but it sure looks cool when it shatters and comes flying
down to the pavement! Give it a go and let the fun begin!

To break the four awnings, ride to the plaza under the pedestrian overpass. Under
each of the two sets of awnings is a half pipe. Use the half pipe to get enough
height to reach the awnings. Getting enough height may take a while so be sure to
keep your eye on the clock because you only have a certain amount of time to
complete the challenge.
Pull an 8-trick combo anywhere.
This challenge allows you to pick anywhere in the level to
CHAPTER SEVEN
perform an 8-trick combo. Obviously, some places are better
PAGE 93
than others, but that is for you to decide. Manuals will come in
very handy here. Use them to string together your trick set. If
you are stuck for a good place to defeat this challenge try this.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
A good area to pull an 8-trick combo is in the construction site.
Locate the construction site on your level map. Once at the site
you will find all kinds of construction equipment and debris to
get yourself started. Use the steel girders, stairways and ramps
to link together an 8-trick combo.

Grind transfer from the walkway rail to

the support arch.
This grind is a little difficult to execute. Balance, jumping and, of
course, timing are all critical to beating this challenge. You’ll
need to locate the pedestrian walkway, which by now you
should be familiar with. Remember to watch the clock. Chances
are this one will take you some time to complete, so be patient.
Good things come to those who work hard!

To do this grind transfer you have to ride to the top of the

pedestrian walkway straight ahead of you from the start point.
Jump onto and grind either of the rails. As you are grinding tilt
your bike slightly towards the support arch. You’ll need that slight
tilt to make the transfer. Then just jump off of the rail and grind
onto the arch and down to the street. Again, timing and balance
will get you through!

Tim Mirra Challenge – Manual 50 feet on the plank in

the construction area.

Tim Mirra is hanging out over in the building under construction.

Look for him on the second level. Evidently he has perfected
some pretty crazy tricks up there and now it’s your turn to see if
you can meet his Pro Challenge. This challenge is a bit of a
tightrope act so keep your cool or you’re headed for a fall.

To manual the plank in the construction area, start your manual

before the plank. Straighten yourself out, and manual onto and
across the plank. If you attempt to jump onto the plank and into
a manual, you have to make sure that you land facing the
direction that the plank is headed. If you are off by even a little
bit you won’t have time to recover because the plank is very thin.

Hardcore Challenges
1. Break all four of the upper level plaza awnings.
2. Pull a modified Manual 200 feet down Washington Street.
3. Transfer over the caged walkway in the skate park.
4. Troy McMurray Challenge – Transfer over the pedestrian
overpass.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Break all four of the upper level plaza awnings.
Your first Hardcore Challenge lets you start shattering glass
again. This time you’ll be in the upper plaza level. Check for the
location of the plaza on your level map. This is a really cool
challenge that let’s you go for big air and the results are well
worth the effort you must invest.

Breaking the four upper awnings is just like breaking the lower
ones, except this time you need more air. You might want to
wait until you have a better bike to do this challenge. However
if you don’t feel like waiting, ride the half pipe under the
awnings, landing into a manual each time. The manual will give you the necessary speed to reach the
upper awnings. Using a lower quality bike will make this challenge very difficult but not impossible.

Pull a modified Manual 200 feet down

Washington Street.
Here is a really fun and somewhat simple challenge, especially
if you have your manual down. You might want to try this one
CHAPTER SEVEN a few times using different types of modified manuals. The No
PAGE 94 Footed manual is a really cool one. Give it a try.

The modified manual down Washington Street is easy. As you

begin your manual down the road press any direction on the
Directional Pad and the Modifier Button. Try to stay on the
double yellow lines in the middle of the road. Why? Simple…
There is a lot of traffic up and down Washington Street so you don’t want to end up under someone’s
tires! Enjoy this challenge.

Transfer over the caged walkway in the skate park.

This challenge takes place in the skate park so you will need to locate the area on
your level map. Head straight to the park from your start position. Good jumping
skills will be necessary to clear the transfer. If you think this challenge is going to
be tough, just wait until the next one! Good luck.

To transfer the caged walkway, ride to the skate park and locate the arc shaped
ramp in front of the walkway. Use the arc to gain enough speed to jump off of the
quarter pipe next to the walkway, and onto the quarter pipe on the other side.

Troy McMurray Challenge – Transfer over the pedestrian overpass.

Troy has really got a challenge for you. Things have been pretty easy up to this
point but now you are going to be faced with one of the most difficult challenges
you’ll find anywhere in the game. Guaranteed, this challenge is going to take a
long, long time to defeat. Perhaps you may think it even impossible, but it’s not…
promise.

This challenge is pretty tough. You’re going to need the perfect angle to make it
over the overpass, and only trial and error can help you figure it out. Start out on
top of the overpass, and ride down the steps while charging your jump. As you
come to the quarter pipe at the bottom of the steps, approach the quarter pipe
from the outside and turn your bike in just before jumping off of the quarter pipe and over the pedestrian
overpass to the quarter pipe on the other side. Good luck because you’re going to need it!
Insane Challenge CHAPTER SEVEN
Colin Mackay Challenge – Do the giant quarter pipe transfer in PAGE 95
the skate park.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Colin Mackay’s Insane Challenge
This challenge really is insane. The transfers are getting more
difficult as you progress through each level. Again, the skate park
is where the action is and you should know how to get there by
now. So head straight for it from your start position.

To do this challenge you’ll need to get a lot of speed going into

the spine before the quarter pipe. Jump up the quarter pipe
against the road to get some speed. Land into a manual and
continue the manual up the spine. The manual should allow you
to get more air on the spine and more speed coming into the
transfer. Land onto the spine into another manual, and angle
your bike to the quarter pipe on the other side of the park. If you
timed your jumps correctly, you will launch your rider over to the
other quarter pipe.
Once you have completed this enormous transfer, you will have
completed all the challenges in the level and it’s off to the
Galloon Water Park.

GAPS
In order to fully complete the Commercial District Level you must transfer over 16 gaps. Doing so will
earn you Respect Points and unlock additional rewards.

GALLOON WATER PARK
Galloon Water Park is a massive level that is currently in between seasons of operation. Their gigantic
water slides are without water and that means that it's time for you to have some fun. If you've ever
wondered what it would be like to ride through an empty water park, this is your chance. There are tons of
huge slides to speed down, an aerial tram to ride and even castles with vert ramps inside.

Rookie Challenge
Clear 50,000 points in a single run.

The Rookie Challenge point requirements continue to mount as you progress

through the levels. Your target now is 50,000 points achieved within the given time
period. Again, find a spot that you are comfortable with and string together as
many tricks as possible using your manual. Some locations on the level are better
for producing the 50,000 points than others so take some time to search the entire
level and locate a spot worthy of your skill set.

Amateur Challenges
1. Hit the four beach balls.
2. Fastplant on the four floor signs.
3. Pull a 540 anywhere.
4. Leigh Ramsdell Challenge – Grind the tops of both iron archways.
Hit the four beach balls.
This is a real simple challenge. Considering the last few
CHAPTER SEVEN
challenges you have had to endure, a little change of pace is a
PAGE 97
good thing! The beach balls are scattered about the park. So the
only real problem here is knowing where they are and getting to
them during the given time period. Once you know where they

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
are located this challenge should be a snap.

To hit the four beach balls locate each of them on your map, and
simply ride into them. You should work on getting the two beach
balls in the upper area first. Then get the one in the waterslide
on your way down to the last one above the lower walkways.

Fastplant on the four floor signs.

Here is another fairly easy challenge. As long as your Fastplant
skills are intact you should have no problem getting through this
challenge. Again, knowing the locations of the four floor signs is
key to completing the challenge within the allotted time.
Familiarize yourself with their locations from your level map and
give it a go.

To Fastplant the four floor signs ride directly at them, jump into
the air and press left on the Directional Pad and the Jump
Button. You should follow the same pattern as the beach balls
challenge. Fastplant the signs in the upper area first and work
your way down to the lower signs.

Pull a 540 anywhere.

Once again it’s time to put your jumping and spinning skills to
the test. There are many good locations for executing a 540 Spin.
Find an area you are comfortable with and give it a shot. Pulling
a 540 is going to be easy compared to some of the bigger spin
challenges that are ahead of you. So practice your spins as much
as possible. Here is a suggestion for a place that will help you
meet the challenge with little difficulty.

To perform the 540 ride to any of the bowls in the level, and use
them to ride back and forth to get the necessary height for the
540.

Leigh Ramsdell Challenge – Grind the tops of both

iron archways.
Leigh offers up your first rider challenge of the level. He is
sessioning at the base of the gondola support tower. He is
looking to dare you to grind the tops of both of the iron archways
located in the pool area. You can refer to your level map for their
exact location.
This challenge will take a little getting used to, but don’t let it get
you down. Keep at it!

To grind the tops of the iron archways ride to the pool where
they are located. Use the quarter pipes next to them to jump up
and over to the arches. Then press the Grind Button to grind
them. You will need some good air to make it to the top of the
archways. Have fun with this one!
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Pro Challenges
1. Break the four lights in the lower walkway.
2. Bust out a 15,000 point trick set.
3. Pull a 720 anywhere.
4. Mike Laird Challenge – Transfer over one of the bridges between the castles.

Break the four lights in the lower walkway.

This can be a tricky challenge. Actually it can be more
frustrating than tricky! First you’ll have to locate the lower
walkway. Once you have reached your destination the fun
begins. Remember you only have a short time to complete
this challenge or you will have to start all over again. The lights
will be hanging over benches. You’ll have to use these benches
to reach your targets.

To break the four lights you must ride up the sides of the
CHAPTER SEVEN benches the lights are hanging over. Then jump off of the
bench into the light. You have to be careful not to ride onto the bench too fast. It’s very easy to over shoot
PAGE 98
these lights, and that can be very frustrating!

Bust out a 15,000 point trick set.

This challenge will test your trick combo skills. Stringing together a 15,000-point
trick set is no easy task, so give it time and don’t get frustrated. Again, your manual
is going to be your best friend so take advantage of it to complete the challenge.

The 15,000-point trick set should be executed in any of the bowls in the level. Take
a look at your level map to find the bowl area you like best. Ride in the bowl
performing tricks and linking them together with manuals until you have
accumulated 15,000 points in a trick set.

Pull a 720 anywhere.

Your spin challenges are continuing to increase in difficulty. The 720 Spin is your
next milestone. Obviously, big air is going to be required. Hopefully you’ve
mastered your spin technique. Now it’s time to see if you can pull off a big one!

The 720 Spin should be done while attempting the 15,000-point trick set. The
bowls are the best place to attempt this challenge. As you are riding in the bowl,
you should be getting more and more air with each jump. When you get enough
air hold down the Spin Button until the rider completes a 720 spin. Then straighten
the bike out and make sure you don’t fall. Concentrate on hitting the landing
straight and you’ll be on your way to your next challenge.

Mike Laird Challenge – Transfer over one of the bridges

between the castles.
Your second rider challenge of the level comes from Mike Laird. Mike can be found
over at the castles. If you’re not familiar with the castles, check the location on
your level map. He’s been pulling all sorts of tricks up there and now he wants you
to meet his challenge.

To transfer over one of the castle bridges, ride to the half pipe between the two
castles. Use the half pipe to build up your speed and air. Then launch your rider
from the quarter pipe, over the bridge and land on the quarter pipe on the other
side. This is a tough move so take your time and it will happen!
Hardcore Challenges CHAPTER SEVEN
1. Grind all four hot dog stands. PAGE 99
2. Pull a Double Backflip anywhere.
3. Pull a 900 Spin anywhere.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
4. Joey Garcia Challenge – Pull a Backflip on each level of the upper fish ladder.

Grind all four hot dog stands.

This challenge is real simple. Considering some of the moves
you have had to execute to this point, you’ll find this a cinch.
Once again, knowing the locations of the hot dog stands before
you begin your run is essential to finishing the challenge within
the allotted timeframe.

Locate the four hotdog stands on your map. Then use the same
technique you used on the beach balls and signs. This one
should be a breeze. So take a breather, ride around and have
some fun grinding the local hot dog venders’ portable kitchens!

Pull a Double Backflip anywhere.

It’s been a while since you have had to pull off a Backflip. This
time your challenge calls for a Double Backflip. Hopefully you
have been incorporating Backflips into your trick routines. If so
you should have no problem here. If not, then you might be in
for a rough time until you have perfected your Backflipping
technique. Here’s a tip as to how to beat this challenge the
easy way.

The Double Backflip can most easily be done in one of the level’s
many half pipes. Ride to any one of them, and ride it until you
have enough air to perform the Double Backflip. Good luck. This
shouldn’t present too much of a challenge for an expert like you,
right?

Pull a 900 Spin anywhere.

Wow! Now these spin challenges are really getting difficult.
You’ve recently completed a 720 Spin, so now it’s on to the 900.
Actually they are very much alike, except that the 900 is a lot
harder to pull off! Obviously, as with your other spins, big air is
essential and without it you are going nowhere.

The 900 is just like doing the 720, except you need more air. Try
jumping off of a quarter pipe while manualing to get the height
needed to do the 900 spin. It’s a bit tricky, but after a while you’ll
get the hang of it and complete the challenge.

Joey Garcia Challenge – Pull a Backflip on each level of

the upper fish ladder.
Now you are about to enter Backflip heaven. Joey Garcia is
down at the base of the Fish ladder waiting for you to come and
check out the Backflip tricks he’s been pulling. Locate the fish
ladder on your level map if you haven’t already visited there.
Head straight to it from your start point and give this challenge
a rip.

The fish ladder is directly to your left from the start point. This
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
challenge is much easier to complete when you are riding down the fish ladder. So ride to the top and
begin your descent, performing Backflips at each of the spines on the fish ladder.

Insane Challenge
Todd Lyons Challenge – Manual 650 feet down the center of the typhoon ride.

Todd Lyon’s Insane Challenge

Todd is waiting to issue you your insane challenge just off to
the side at the top of the Typhoon Ride.

This is a wild one. It is also a lot of fun to perform. Pulling a

manual 650 feet is tough enough on it’s own. Now you’ve got
to do it right down the narrow center of the Typhoon Ride.
You’ll have to really concentrate on keeping your balance here
because as you reach the bottom the center really narrows. Go
for it!

CHAPTER SEVEN
To do this manual, you are going to need to be able to keep your bike pointed straight while monitoring the
PAGE 100 balance meter. Start off the manual going slow so you can straighten yourself out more easily and let the
slope of the Typhoon Ride accelerate your bike. Try to get your bike as straight as you can early in the
manual, so you can concentrate more on the balance meter without having to worry about your bike going
off course. Once accomplished you have met all your level challenges and it’s off to the Highway 47
Cloverleaf.

GAPS
In order to fully complete the Galloon Water Park Level you must transfer over 13 gaps. Doing so will earn
you Respect Points and unlock additional rewards.

The Highway 47 Cloverleaf level takes place at twilight at a major highway intersection with many on

cars are moving and also how fast you'll move if you get slammed by one of them. Playing chicken
with a car speeding 60 mph while trying to pull off some sick trick is definitely cool. For you thrill
seekers out there, this will be your favorite level.

Rookie Challenge
Clear 60,000 points in a single run.

Talk about road rage! The highway interchange is loaded with

traffic. Executing tricks in this neck of the woods is real
dangerous. But you should be up to the challenge? Right?

This is a hard level to hold a trick set in because you are in

constant danger of being hit by vehicles on the road. Don’t try
to string together long combos while on the parkway. Just do 2
or 3 tricks and then land the trick set. If you want to do long trick
sets, ride down to the skate park under the parkway. At least
there you are in relative safety. 60,000 points is a big number so
take advantage of the park to defeat this challenge!
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Amateur Challenges
1 Knock over four traffic signs.
2. Pull a 540 spin over the sewer channel hip.
3. Transfer from the off-ramp down into the skate park.
4. Rick Moliterno Challenge – Grind all the way across the pipe over the highway.

Knock over four traffic signs.

Your first amateur challenge is to knock over the four traffic
signs. This level can be confusing so it pays to have a very
good idea where the signs are located prior to beginning your
run. Although this challenge is fairly easy, you’ll have to pay
attention to the traffic while keeping your eye on the clock.

The four traffic signs can be located on your map. There is one
on each end of the two major highways on the level. Before
beginning your run figure out your route. The quickest way to
CHAPTER SEVEN accomplish the challenge is to go for the two signs on the
elevated highway first, then get the two on the lower highway.
PAGE 102
Pull a 540 spin over the sewer channel hip.
Your second challenge combines your spinning ability with your jumping and
transferring skills. By now a 540 Spin should be second nature to you, so should be
concentrating on getting big air to clear the gap. To locate the sewer hip channel
refer to your level map.

The sewer channel hip is located at the end of the half pipe in the skate park. From
your start position ride directly to the skate park without getting mauled by traffic.
Ride up the quarter pipe on either side of the hip and use the speed you gain to
jump over the hip while doing a 540 Spin. It’s easier to clear the hip if you jump
closer to the tip of the pipe because the air you have to clear over the channel is
much less.

Transfer from the off-ramp down into the skate park.

Your third amateur challenge will bring you from the highway to the skate park.
Again, the key here is to know the location of the off-ramp so refer to your level
map. The transfer is fairly large so you’ll have to have enough speed entering the
jump to clear the gap. Remember if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

From your starting position ride to the broken down car on the side of the highway.
Once you’ve located the car, ride between the off ramp and the parkway to the
wooden ramp ahead. Take advantage of whatever terrain is in area to pick up
momentum. Riding down the dirt path to this ramp should give you enough speed
to safely clear this gap.

Rick Moliterno Challenge – Grind all the way across the pipe
over the highway.
Rick Moliterno is waiting for you adjacent to one of the exit signs over the highway.
Check your level map to find his exact location. Your first rider challenge of the level
should be a breeze if you have perfected your grinding skills that by now you
should have. There is also a little bit of jumping required here too. Go for it and
keep your balance. Lose it and you’ll end up fried on the highway!

This challenge is pretty easy to execute. Once you know exactly where you are
going, simply ride to the pipe that runs across the highway and jump onto the
green highway sign on the pipe. Then jump from the green sign onto the pipe and
grind across it to the end.
Pro Challenges CHAPTER SEVEN
1. Get inside the four dumpsters and open the doors. PAGE 103
2. Fastplant at the top of the blue column in the skate park.
3. Pull a 12-trick combo anywhere.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
4. Todd Lyons Challenge – Manual across the I-beam in the upper
construction area.

Get inside the four dumpsters and open the doors.

It’s time to get down and dirty. The four dumpsters are calling
you to open their doors. Lucky for you they aren’t filled to the
brim with garbage so don’t be afraid you’ll come out smelling
like something the cat dragged in! You should have plenty of
time to clear the challenge since the dumpsters are very close to
the starting point. Before beginning your run refer to your level
map for the dumpster locations.

All four of the dumpsters are right where you start. There are
two on the right road and two on the left road. Use the wooden
ramps placed next to them to jump inside each one of them.
Then use the ramps inside the dumpsters to transfer out and on
to the next. Enter all four in the allotted time and you’re off to
your next challenge.

Fastplant at the top of the blue column in the

skate park.
So far, most of the challenges in this level have been fairly easy
to defeat. However this challenge is really going to test your
skills and your frustration level too! Big air, transfers and
Fastplants all come into play here so be prepared to work real
hard to accomplish your goal. Good luck with this one because
you are going to need it!

From your starting position ride directly to the skate park. You’ll
have to watch the clock because it’s going to take all the time
you’ve got to accomplish this feat. To beat the challenge, ride
down to the skate park and use one of the bowls or half pipes
surrounding the column to get enough height to reach the top of
the column. Once you have gained the necessary height, you will
have to transfer up and out of the bowl or quarter pipe towards
the column. Fast plant just before you hit it. Timing and your
sense of direction are crucial to executing this move correctly.
Let it rip.

Pull a 12-trick combo anywhere.

Your third Pro Challenge will test your trick set combination skills.
Manuals and grinds are your best bet for stringing together the
necessary number of tricks to beat the challenge. This highway
interchange doesn’t offer many areas for pulling big trick combos
so locating an area where you can give some freedom from the
evening traffic is essential.

To do the 12-trick combo you will want to stay away from the
highway. If you get hit by a car you will have to start your trick
set over again. No one wants to put together an awesome trick
set only to end up creamed by an oncoming speeder! Try to do
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
this one in the skate park. There you’ll find lots of rails and edges that you can use to link together huge
combos. Go and spend some more time down in the skate park and pull off your big trick set in relative
peace and quite!

Todd Lyons Challenge – Manual across the I-beam in

the upper construction area.
Todd Lyons is sessioning over by the dumpsters in the
construction area. If you haven’t seen him yet, check your level
map for his location. Todd has been attempting some new
tricks on some of the stuff left behind by the construction
workers. Now he wants you to do the same.

To manual across the I-beam start the manual on the road, and
manual onto and across the beam. You will have to manual
over three sections of the I-beam, so hold the manual for the
entire length of the beam. Once again, balance during your manual is essential This may sound easy, but
you’ll soon find out that it just isn’t as easy as it looks.

CHAPTER SEVEN

1. Grind the four Slim Jim billboard decks.
2. Grind the scaffold above the concrete park bowl.
3. Jump from the I-beam across the construction gap.
4. Luc-E Challenge – Transfer over the bridge that crosses the sewer half pipe.

Grind the four Slim Jim billboard decks.

It’s time once again to brave the perils of the highway. Away from the safety of the
skate park you’ll have to grind the Slim Jim billboards located throughout the level.
You may run into some trouble beating this challenge within the allotted timeframe
so plan your session carefully to minimize your riding distances.

To grind the four billboard decks, locate them on your map. Three of them have
wooden ramps that will lead you straight to the top. The other one doesn’t have a
wooden ramp. You will have to use the highway curb as a ramp. To do this, ride to
the left road ahead of you from the start and stop before the four construction
signs. Ride alongside the four signs off of the left side of the highway to grind
this billboard.

Grind the scaffold above the concrete park bowl.

Jump from the I-beam across the construction gap.
Here is another instance where you will want to complete the third challenge
before clearing the second one. While you can accomplish both in any order, it is a
lot easier to jump the I-beam across the construction gap before grinding the
scaffold above the concrete park bowl. Locate where the action is going to take
place on your level map and give it a shot!

To grind the scaffold, complete the construction gap challenge and the scaffolding
will be on the right side of the road after you jump across the gap.

To jump the I-beam gap ride all the way to the last ramp on the right side of the
highway. Then ride
down the ramp. There will be an I-beam ramp at the gap in the road. Use this I-
beam to jump across the gap to one of the I-beams on the opposite side. Then
head over and grind the scaffold to complete
both challenges.
Luc-E Challenge – Transfer over the bridge that crosses
the sewer half pipe. CHAPTER SEVEN
Back in the skate park John “Luc-E” Englebert is offering up a
PAGE 105
challenge that will require you to get real big air to transfer up
and over the bridge that crosses the sewer half pipe. Your gap

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
transfers are getting tougher and tougher and this one is no
exception! Keep at it. It’s a difficult jump but not impossible. Just
ask “Luc-E.” He’s already done it and that’s why he’s challenging
you to do the same!
To transfer over this bridge, ride down to the skate park. Once
there use the half pipe to build up as much speed as you can.
Then jump from the half pipe up over the bridge and down onto
the half pipe on the other side. The execution of the transfer may
be simple, however the height and distance you have to cover is
another story! Don’t get discouraged.

Insane Challenge
Troy McMurray Challenge – Do the Triple Grind from the lightpost
across the road signs.

Troy McMurray’s Insane Challenge

Troy is hanging out at one of the Slim Jim billboards working on
some new moves. He’s just perfected an insane Triple Grind and
now it’s your turn to see if you can duplicate his trick. As with
your previous grinds, balance and timing is the name of the
game. This is a long and somewhat complicated maneuver, so
keep your wits about you and you should come out on top. Lose
it and you’re roadkill.

First locate Troy’s position on your level map. Now, to start this
grind you have to jump on the platform of the Slim Jim billboard
that is next to the lightpost. Once you are on the platform, jump towards the lightpost and grind it
towards the road sign. Next, jump from the lightpost onto the road sign and continue the grind to the
end of the sign. You shouldn’t have to jump to reach the second sign. If you are positioned correctly
your bike should come down on top of it from the previous grind. From here, simply grind onto the
second road sign and you will have completed this challenge. Once this challenge is history you have
beaten all your level challenges and it’s off to Devil’s Peak!

Devil's Peak is a dirt rider's dream. This level has so many dirt jumps and gaps that you can spend hours
here without seeing half of them. You'll also notice that Devil's Peak housed some pretty big dinosaurs
millions of years ago. Their bones are still in Devil's Peak today. Ever ridden a half-pipe made out of a T-
rex's rib cage before? Well, now you can. In addition to Dinosaur bones and tons of dirt jumps, there is an

Rookie Challenge
Clear 70,000 points in a single run.

Unlike most of the other levels, Devil’s Peak has very little flat open spaces for
pulling off easy trick combos using manuals and grinds. The terrain is rough and
dropoffs are all over the place. Knowing where you can pull off tricks to amass
70,000 points within the time limit is critical to passing your Rookie Challenge.

You are going to find out real soon that Devil’s Peak is a really tough level.
However, there are a few places that are good for grabbing a quick 70,000 points.
The upper circle of the level is rich with ramps but is very narrow, making it difficult to navigate. The lower
area doesn’t have too many big ramps, but it does have two descent-sized bowls. To get the 70,000
points, your best bet is to ride to one of these bowls and work on grabbing your points there.
Amateur Challenges CHAPTER SEVEN
1. Knock out the four glowing dinosaur teeth. PAGE 107
2. Grind the four fallen dinosaur ribs.
3. Pull a 360 Tailwhip over the dinosaur skeleton spine.

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
4. Tim Mirra Challenge – Transfer across Anvil Island.

Knock out the four glowing dinosaur teeth.

Your amateur challenges begin easy. Your mission is simple. All
you have to do is knock out the four glowing dinosaur teeth.
Much like knocking over obstacles in other levels, such as the
ladders at Woodward Park or the beach balls at the Galloon
Water Park simply find them and ride right through them.

To beat the challenge, simply locate the dinosaur skull on your

level map. From your starting position find the most direct route
down to the skull and ride through it’s jaws knocking out the four
glowing teeth as you ride through it.

Grind the four fallen dinosaur ribs.

Your second challenge is fairly straightforward also. Instead of
simply riding over the fallen dinosaur ribs, you’ll have to grind
them. However, the grinds are not complicated so this challenge
should present no problem if you have been able to pull off
some of the grinds needed to complete many of your previous
challenges.

The four fallen dinosaur ribs are all located near the dinosaur rib
half pipe. They are marked on your level map so review it before
beginning your run. From the starting point ride to each of them
and grind along them to complete this challenge within your
allotted timeframe. This one should present no problems!

Pull a 360 Tailwhip over the dinosaur skeleton spine.

This challenge will test your skill at executing a 360 Tailwhip. If
you are not familiar with the move, check the button combo on
your on-screen trick selections, or refer to the trick page in this
guide. Practice it a bit if need be and then its time to move on
and execute the trick within the time specified down at the
dinosaur skeleton spine.

Locate the dinosaur skeleton spine on your level map. The

fastest way to get there is to ride forward from the start and
jump down the cliff to the lower area. From there, ride forward
to the dinosaur spine embedded in the ground. Use this area to
build some height as you would with any other pipe area. Once
you are comfortable with your altitude, jump off of the glowing
section of the spine and perform a 360 Tailwhip.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Tim Mirra Challenge – Transfer across Anvil Island.
If you haven’t run into Tim yet, you’ll find him on your level
map. He’s been working on his transfers and wants to see if
you are up to his challenge.

When you talk to Tim, he’ll challenge you to transfer across

Anvil Island. The ramp you must use to transfer to the island is
right at the spot you talk to him. Simply ride down the ramp,
and jump across to the island. Next you will need to jump
from Anvil Island across to the other side of the canyon to
complete this challenge. This is a fairly easy challenge. Just be
sure you have enough air to cross the gaps because it’s a long
way down to the canyon bottom… ouch!

Pro Challenges
1. Grind the four rusty mine cars.
2. Pull a 900 in the dinosaur skeleton bowl.
CHAPTER SEVEN
3. Bust out a 20,000 point trick set.
PAGE 108 4. Todd Lyons Challenge – Walltap or Fastplant higher than 30 feet anywhere.

Grind the four rusty mine cars.

The rusty mine cars are located at the side of the Devil’s Peak canyon. Refer to
your level map to find them. From your starting position ride to the tracks and get
ready for the rail cars to approach. Here is an easy way to beat the challenge well
within the time limit.

Instead of grinding the rusty mine cars in no particular order, simply ride toward the
mine cars as the travel towards you. Then time your jump up onto the first car and
grind along the entire set of four mine cars in one continuous maneuver. You have
to do this on both sets of mine cars in order to complete the challenge. This is one
fun grind!

Pull a 900 in the dinosaur skeleton bowl.

It’s time to get some serious air down by the dinosaur skeleton bowl. You’ll have to
get some big air if you are going to succeed in pulling off a 900 Spin! By now you
should be familiar with the location of the bowl from previous challenges. If not,
refer once again to your level map.

The dinosaur skeleton bowl is right next to the dinosaur skull. Drop into the bowl
and get as much height as you can. Keep an eye on your height meter to
determine that you have the necessary time to complete the spin. Jump into the
air and perform the 900. Make sure you straighten out your bike before you land. If
you are not yet an expert with your spinning skills, this challenge is going to really
cause you pain… literally!

Bust out a 20,000 point trick set.

Now the trick sets are beginning to escalate in difficulty. To pull a 20,000 point trick
set within the allotted time is definitely going to be a challenge. Since the terrain is
not very conducive to pulling long trick sets, you have to be smart when choosing
the area to build up your points. The trick here is to know where to best rack up
scores. Once you know the secret, your 20,000 point goal should be no problem.
Here is what you should do.

The 20,000 point trick set is most easily done by riding down to the mine car tracks
near the starting point, and doing a modified grind down the tracks to the bottom
of the level. If you lose the grind, try to manual and bring yourself back to the grind. Your point total
point score will easily beat the required 20,000 level. Simple as long as you know the secret!

Todd Lyons Challenge – Walltap or Fastplant higher

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
than 30 feet anywhere.
Devil’s Island does not offer many places for you to get big air
with a wall near enough for tapping or Fastplanting. However
there are a few places that will allow you to defeat this challenge
and move on. Todd Lyons knows this all too well. That’s why he
is challenging you to Walltap or Fastplant anywhere as long as
you are 30 feet in the air or higher. Find Todd’s location on your
level map and give it a go. Here’s a good suggestion to get the
job done.
The best place to do this is down in the bowl on the left side of
the canyon floor. Ride to the bowl and get as much height as you can. Once you’ve done this,
transfer up and over the bowl’s quarter pipe towards one of the surrounding walls. Then simply
perform any wall trick to place your mark. Just make sure that you place your mark over 30 feet high.
This one is real difficult, but with a little determination and patience you’ll eventually get it right.

Hardcore Challenges
1. Fastplant the four giant boulders.
2. Grind transfer between each mine track at the canyon bottom.
3. Pull a 1080 anywhere.
4. Ryan Nyquist Challenge – Get up on top of the mushroom pillar.

Fastplant the four giant boulders.

Your first hardcore challenge is simple. Just like the floor signs
and beach balls in the Galloon Water Park, all you have to do is
Fastplant the four glowing boulders scattered about the level.
The key here is knowing where the boulders are located and
planing your run in the fastest possible way. Remember you
have to Fastplant all four within the time period to beat the
challenge. Preparation is the answer.

The four giant boulders can be located on your map. There are
three boulders on the inside of the upper level ring overlooking
the canyon floor and the fourth is on the dirt path overlooking the
water surrounding the level. Simply design your run and execute
a Fastplant on each. As long as you have your Fastplants down
pat, this challenge should not cause you too many problems.

Grind transfer between each mine track at the

canyon bottom.
Your second Devil’s Island challenge should not be too difficult if
you have mastered your grinding and jumping skills. The action
takes place down on the canyon floor so you’ll have to get there
in a hurry from your starting position in order to perform the
required grind transfer within your time limit.

To grind transfer the mine car tracks, ride down to where the
mine car tracks run on the canyon floor. Grind onto one of the
tracks, then lean your bike towards the next track. Jump out of
the grind and grind onto the next track. Repeat this until you
have transferred between all four of the mine car tracks. Don’t
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
worry about any oncoming mine cars here. You’ll have the tracks all to yourself, so have fun with this one!

Pull a 1080 anywhere.

Now it’s time to pull off the most difficult spin yet… the
dreaded 1080 Spin. If you thought the 900 Spin was tough,
this is really going to test your metal. Hopefully your spins are
now second nature to you, because to execute and land the
1080 Spin you are going to have to be perfect. The slightest
error in timing or landing will result in disaster and you’ll have
to start all over again.

The best way to pull the 1080 is to ride to the bowl where you
did your 900 Spin challenge. Once there, you will have to get a
little more height than you did before. When you are jumping high enough, really high enough, perform
the 1080 and land safely to complete the challenge. Keep in mind that the faster and higher you are going,
the less room for error you have when landing. Concentrate on straightening out your bike just as you
land. It would be real nasty if you make the big spin only to crash and burn on the landing! This challenge
will really test your jumping and spinning abilities. Remember that practice makes perfect!
CHAPTER SEVEN
PAGE 110 Ryan Nyquist Challenge – Get up on top of the
mushroom pillar.
Ryan Nyquist offers up your Hardcore Rider Challenge. To
locate Ryan if you haven’t seen him yet, refer to your level
map. This is a real difficult challenge that requires good timing
and big, big air. You must also know the location of the
Mushroom Pillar because you are going to have to make a
blind jump to achieve your goal. Again, refer to your map to
pinpoint the Mushroom Pillar’s exact location

To get onto the Mushroom Pillar jump onto the larger island
that is adjacent to it. Then from the island, get up your speed and jump across to the Mushroom Pillar,
landing safely. You can’t see the pillar until after you jump, so this one might take a few tries until you can
correctly judge which direction to jump in order to stick the landing. Don’t get frustrated. You will eventually
get there. In the meantime you are in for a few spectacular crashes! Simply dust yourself off, get back on
your bike and give it another go!

Insane Challenge
Joey Garcia Challenge – Grind 1,000 feet on the mine car tracks.

Joey Garcia’s Insane Challenge.

Here comes your biggest grind challenge ever! Joey has been perfecting the grind
down on the mine car tracks. Find him and see if you are able to do the same. His
location can be found on your level map. Is this an insane challenge? You bet it is!
Speed and balance will prevail. Without them you are going nowhere but down the
tracks and into the path of an unforgiving group of mine cars! Good luck… it’s a
long way to grind!

To grind 1,000 feet on the mine car tracks you have to ride up the tracks until you
reach the very top. Then begin riding forward to build up some momentum. Next
jump onto and grind the rail down the tracks to the canyon floor. You’ll have to
grind a little over half of the mine car track to reach 1,000 feet, so work on your grind balancing skills so
you can stay on the rail longer. Once your challenge is completed you have successfully overcome all the
Devil’s Peak challenges and it’s on to the Airport Parking Garage!

Rookie Challenge
Clear 80,000 points in a single run.

Your first Airport Parking Garage challenge asks you to score 80,000 points in a
single run within the time limit. Knowing where to best perform your trick sets in
order to accumulate the 80,000 points is key to beating the challenge. Although
there are tons of places to grab big scores, here is a tip that will surely help you
over the top.

The roof of the parking garage has one of the best half pipes in the game. It is large, allowing you to get a
lot of air. And, it has a few gaps that you can use to increase your score. If you stay in this half pipe and
use the gaps on as many jumps as possible, the 80,000 point run should be easy. Give it a shot.

4. Scott Wirch Challenge – Grind all the way around the baggage
carousel.

Defuse the four package bombs.

All is not well at the airport. Evidently there are four package
bombs scattered about the level that have to be defused. Your
mission, should you decide to accept it, is to destroy the four
bombs by riding into them. Again, knowing the locations of the
bombs before beginning your run will greatly increase your
chances of beating the challenge before your time runs out.

The four package bombs can be found on your level map. There
is one in the top corner of the third floor of the parking garage.
There is one on the second floor of the baggage claim center.
Another is in the plane hull half pipe outside of the hangar. The
fourth bomb is in the right of the main hangar doors. Simply ride
to each of the four packages and break them. Once completed,
the airport will be safe for all who travel within and you will be
free to session wherever your heart desires!

Jump over the red SUV on the third floor ramp.

Talk about a no-brainer! This challenge is a snap. You have
probably passed the red SUV several times already and not even
noticed. If you can’t complete this challenge in a few attempts
it’s time to hang it up and find some other video game to play!

The red SUV is straight ahead of you from your start position!
Use the ramp on the left side of the downward sloping road
ahead of you to make your rider jump over the SUV. See how
easy that was! Ok, so that was a piece of cake. But don’t expect
the rest of your challenges to be like this. You are in for some
tough ones before this level is complete! Now it’s time to move
on to the next one.

Bust out a 10,000-point trick set.

Once again you are going to have to put together a string of
tricks. This time you have to build a 10,000-point trick set.
Manuals are essential to overcome this challenge. Pick an area
you are comfortable performing tricks in or use this tip to help
you overcome the 10,000-point score.

To do the 10,000-point trick set, you should stay in the half pipe
on the roof of the parking garage. Manual back and forth in the
pipe while doing tricks and you’ll see your score continue to
mount. Be careful to keep your balance during the manuals to
keep the trick set alive. Should you lose it you’ll have to start
from scratch if your 10,000-point level has not been achieved.
Using your trick modifier here will also go a long way to defeating
the challenge.
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Scott Wirch Challenge – Grind all the way around
the baggage carousel.
Scott Wirch has been sessioning down in the baggage claim
area. If you haven’t caught up with him yet, locate him on your
level map and see what he’s got to say. Evidently, the baggage
carousel makes a great place to test your grinding skills. Scott
has been perfecting them there, so now it’s your turn. See if
you have what it takes to keep that grind going all the way
around the carousel.

To grind around the baggage carousel, ride alongside it until

you have enough speed to make it around. Jump onto and grind the edge of the baggage claim carousel
until you have completed the challenge. Once you’ve grinded far enough an on-screen indicator will tell
you that the challenge has been completed. Balance and speed are key to holding this grind for the
necessary length. Don’t worry about crashing into any unclaimed luggage. The baggage claim area is fairly
empty at the moment!

CHAPTER SEVEN Pro Challenges

PAGE 114 1. Jump off the four wing sculptures.
2. Grind 100 feet on the spiral baggage claim sculpture.
3. Do a 16-trick combo.
4. Luc-E Challenge – Grind the switches to open the hangar doors.

Jump off the four wing sculptures.

To jump off the four wing sculptures you first have to get on top of them! That’s
the real challenge here. Knowing where the four wing sculptures are located is the
key to completing the challenge within your time limit. Plan your run prior to
starting so you’ll know the exact route you are going to take.

To jump off the four wing sculptures, locate them on your map. Three of them are
located in three corners of the level. You can use the quarter pipes located under
each of these sculptures to grind up onto them. The fourth sculpture is a little more
difficult to find. To jump off of the fourth sculpture you will have to ride onto the
right ledge on the top of the parking garage. From there you can use the ledge to
jump off onto the sculpture.

Grind 100 feet on the spiral baggage claim sculpture.

This challenge is a bit tricky. Once again you will have to make an almost blind
jump to just the right location in order to successfully land on the baggage claim
sculpture and perform the necessary grind. Guaranteed this challenge will take you
a bit of time to overcome. Stick with it and you will eventually be rewarded!

By now you should be familiar with the location of the baggage claim area.
However this time you will have to approach it from a different perspective. To
grind the spiral baggage claim sculpture, you will have to ride down to the second
floor of the parking garage and make a right. Then, ride over toward the baggage
claim building and jump off of the second floor ledge onto the spiral baggage claim
sculpture. Not only is timing your jump important but angling your rider correctly so that you land on the
sculpture will be the only way you will be able to defeat this challenge.
Do a 16-trick combo.
Now it’s time to string together a serious 16-trick combination.
CHAPTER SEVEN
Up until now you haven’t had to put this many tricks together in

combos going. Again, there are any number of places within the
level to accomplish this feat, so choose a place you are

LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
comfortable with or read on for a tip that will surely help you
stick that 16-trick combo.

The 16-trick combo can be done in the parking garage. There are
plenty of cars, rails and ledges to grind. And, there are plenty of
ramps to jump off of to keep your trick set alive. Keep moving
and be sure to take advantage of your manuals to go from trick
to trick. Keep you balance in your manuals or you’ll lose it and
have to begin the trick set all over again.

Luc-E Challenge – Grind the switches to open the

hangar doors.
Luc-E has been sessioning down inside the hangar building.
How he got inside there with the doors closed is a mystery.
However you’ll have to solve that mystery in order to meet up
with him and take on his challenge. If you are not familiar with
the location of the hangar building, locate it on your level map.
Here is the secret to getting into the closed-up hangar building.

This challenge is real sneaky. To get into the hangar, you have to
ride to the second floor of the baggage claim building. From
there, you must ride through the middle glass window on the
second floor. Once through the window, you will find a wooden
ramp that will take you over to the hangar. After entering the
hangar you’ll find Luc-E. After speaking with him, use the ramps
along the hangar walls to get up to the switches for the grind.

Hardcore Challenges
1. Grind down the spiral ramp from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor.
2. Pull a Double Backflip while jumping to the rest area.
3. Get up to each of the hanging plane sections.
4. Kenan Harkin Challenge – Pull a 540 Double Tailwhip while
transferring into the spiral.

Grind down the spiral ramp from the 3rd floor

to the 1st floor.
This challenge involves one very long grind. You can find the
location of the spiral ramp on your level map. Balance is the key
here. Since you will be heading downhill gravity will help you
keep up your speed. This challenge will take you some time to
perfect, but it’s a lot of fun to execute when done correctly. It
time to go for a ride!

To grind down three levels on the spiral ramp, ride down the
slope from your starting point, and make a left onto the third
floor. The spiral ramp will be right there. Simply jump on it and let
the downward slope of the spiral accelerate your ride down to
the first floor. Hold your balance or you’ll have to start again from
the top if you crash. Now give it a rip… Yahoo!
 LEVEL WALKTHROUGHS
Pull a Double Backflip while jumping to the rest area.
It’s time to pull a Double Backflip down into the rest area. This
is one heck of a jump! Find the location of the rest area on
your level map. By now you should be an expert at the
Backflip. This time however you’ll have to double it up. Don’t
worry though… it’s a long, long way to the bottom from your
jump off point! Pay close attention to your landing or you’ll end
up in the hospital instead of the rest area!

To do the Double Backflip, ride straight ahead from your start

point. The ramp will be slightly to your left on the second floor
of the parking garage. Riding straight down the slope from the start point will give you more than enough
speed to make this jump. Once you have enough speed, blast off the ramp and pull a big Double Backflip
as you fall two stories down to the rest area. This jump is awesome! Enjoy!

Get up to each of the hanging plane sections.

Now it’s back to the hangar building for your next challenge.
This time the action takes place up at the ceiling of the hangar
CHAPTER SEVEN rather than down below. There are some old plane sections
PAGE 116 hanging around that are just begging for you to get inside.
Jump into all three in the allotted time period and you’ve
beaten the challenge.

To get up to the hanging plane sections use the wooden ramp

that you used to get to the hanger earlier. Then use the ramp
against the hangar window to get into the first plane hull.
Next, ride through the hull and jump onto the roof support beam. Jump into the next hanging plane
section, and then out onto the next support beam. Then from there you can jump into the last hanging
plane section. Take your time with this one. If you ride too fast, you are not going to be able to stop
quickly enough and you are going to fall to the hangar floor.

Kenan Harkin Challenge – Pull a 540 Double Tailwhip while transferring

into the spiral.
Kenan has been practicing some really cool 540 Double Tailwhips while transferring
down into the garage spiral. This is a really cool challenge that you’ll find yourself
doing over and over again even after the challenge has been completed. Before
you can complete the challenge, you naturally have to know how to execute a 540
Double Tailwhip. Familiarize yourself with the Tailwhip button combination and
practice the move until it becomes second nature to you. Now it’s time to put your
knowledge to the test!

To do the 540 Double Tailwhip while transferring into the spiral, ride to the half pipe
on the parking garage roof. Use the half pipe to build up some serious speed. Then launch your rider
down to the bottom of the spiral staircase that you grinded down earlier. While catapulting yourself into
the spiral abyss, pull your 540 Double Tailwhip and beat Kenan’s challenge.

Insane Challenge
Mike Laird Challenge – Grind each of the three helicopters.

Mike Laird’s Insane Challenge.

Talk about insane! This challenge is totally off the wall. Mike thinks it would be cool
to grind the three helicopters hovering around over the upper level of the parking
garage. You’ll have your hands full here. Give it some time. Although not
impossible, this challenge will take a long time to overcome. Hey, by now you
should be a BMX freestyle expert! Nothing should be too crazy for you to try!
Grinding the three helicopters is the hardest challenge in the game. It is going to require some
patience and lots and lots of skill. From the beginning of your run, ride to the left into the half pipe,
CHAPTER SEVEN
and jump the second gap on your right. The first helicopter should be flying through as you jump. If
you time it correctly you’ll be able to hop on it and give it a grind. The second helicopter is behind this PAGE 117
half pipe right outside the parking garage. Grind along the rail that runs on the outside edge of the
garage, and jump off of the rail and grind onto the second helicopter. The third helicopter flies along

the ledge of the parking garage. Jump up onto the ledge and wait for the helicopter to fly by. Allow it
