Yah you just grind up the part of the fountian and down the other side.

It's Danny Way. When you jump in start with a big trick so your multiplier will be maxed for the next 2 big jumps. Jump over the top of the loop and hope you hit that trick then up the next wall for another big trick. Do a smaller trick over the next small jump to keep the multiplier going. Then there's another bigger jump you should be able to get a big-ish trick off,try to NOT land in the pool then just keep going to the last wall hit one more big trick and exit. Then just repeat it since it's best of 3. I got screwed over on #2 I finish with one second left in the lead and he gets another 1000 points from somewhere,it's not fair when they don't have a timer too. That also applies to races.

I figured it out. Danny Way challenge is still getting to me, but I just have to plan my route better.

I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of the controls. I changed my trucks to looser so I wasn't making such tight turns and running into walls.

It's a start.

Haha, this trick works great to knock off the Throwdowns super quick! Otherwise you'll have to rely on Triple Heelflips/Kickflips which they can't do, although they do occasion bail on other tricks (i have seen a few Pros land 540s here though).

But the trick won't work for the Koston/Carrol challenge, because all move-able objects are removed when you activate that Pro challenge...oh well. I still can't land a 540 here using any method (ie: normal or footplant) and my triple boardflips are too inconsistent so i'll pass on this challenge for now.

If you travel up the spillway at the Koston/Carrol challenge you'll find a bike rack that can be used for this cheat.

So I've completed everything but the Skate Magazine Cover Challenge, the throwdowns, the hall of meat and a few kill the spots but the Skate Mag Challenges have been gone for a few days. Did I break my game somehow?

[ChubbyBanana]

This game is one of the most fun and also most frustrating games I've ever played.

I'm just not good at it yet. It's fantastic fun, but when I keep trying to grind down a rail and I overshoot it every attempt, I get frustrated...

And I don't even want to start to talk about the other skaters in competitions...

I find career mode is best played for only 30 minutes at a time. Anything more makes me want to take my disk out break it only to glue it back together and break it again.

It's fun but drives me mad at the same time.

[metallicatz]

I'm always on career mode, but I just freeskate around alot when i'm not doing challenges chgallenges.

[calcutta]

Even though alot of events took me 20+ attempts each, and that was frustrating, i found all the challenges enjoyable. The notable exception being any and all S.K.A.T.E. games which are just as laborious as they were in Skate 1. The Deathraces were more exhilarating than Skate 1 (though they were generally easy) and i spent an entire afternoon going through the entire Hall of Meat challenges without getting bored...landing a 20-metre drop onto a ped can never be dull no matter how often i fail

I haven't played it online...
