Clear all the gaps in each level to unlock the "Always Special", "Moon Gravity", "Perfect Manual", "Perfect Rail", and "Perfect Skitch" cheat options.

Beverly Hills: Air conditioner soccer
Go up on a roof with AC units. Kick one off of the building, then kick it to the place where the guard was when you had to skitch the dog. Get a friend to join you, and you can play soccer. The walls will be the goals.

Downtown: See Chavez
You can see Chavez by the giant fence in the southwest corner of the map.

Downtown: See Iggy
When the businessman pulls out his bazooka in the mission on how you get downtown, look at the person being blown down the escalator. It is Iggy.

East L.A.: Run through clothes
Go to the clothes shop. You can run all around the store and thorough the clothes, unlike in the other shops.

East L.A.: Wheel Of Torture
Inside the casino on the ground floor are many slot machines which have scrolling massages across the top of them. Most will say, "Wheel of Torture..." in bright yellow text.

East L.A.: Tony Hawk's Underground reference
The wrecked train high on the rails reads "THUG" instead of "THAW".

Hollywood: Construction worker trying to levitate goat
At the bowl on the roof near the skate shop, get on the second rail going towards the skate shop wall and sticker slap. Jump on the third (and top) rail then jump off towards the wall you are going towards. Dismount and you will be in an apartment. If you look near the bed in story mode, there is a construction worker trying to levitate a goat.

Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat and go to Hollywood. Go to the pool behind the billboard above the skate shop near the bus. If you go high enough on the corner of the pool opposite to the one facing the bus, there will be a ledge you can land on. There will be a crack on the wall. Walk into that wall, and you will enter a hotel room with a construction worker facing a goat on a bed.

Hollywood: Aerial moves
Once you get the spiral piece from the radio tower, you can get a major combo on it by standing in the middle and doing a manual. Whenever you are about to fall, just jump and you will be launched straight up into the air, where you can do some awesome aerial moves. Then when you land, continue to manual.

Hollywood: Tony Hawk's Underground reference
During the mission when you have to get a 2,000 point, 5,000 point, and 10,000 point combo, after the dinosaur comes down the bus that hits it has "THUG" on the front, which refers to Tony Hawk's Underground. However, if you check the front of the bus after or before the mission, it reads "THAW", referring to Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Hollywood: Falling Down reference
The man who helps you by using a rocket launcher on the escalator is a reference to D-Fens, the main character of the movie Falling Down.

Van's Skate Park: Electrocution
Go around to where the sign that says to dismount is located. There is a electrical box that serves as a ramp. Climb up to the top and get off your board. There is a pole on top that you can see electricity flowing through. Hit it with your board and you will see your character get shocked, and you will restart on the ground.

Van's Skate Park: Bathroom
On the lowest level there is a door in a corner. Sticker Slap it and go up the quarterpipe. You will come down on another quarterpipe, and at the top of the screen the message "Yuck!" will appear.

Van's Skatepark: Powerade
Go up to the upper deck where the bleachers, air hockey tables, and drink machines are found. Find a Powerade machine. Stand in front of it and hit it with your board. A Powerade should pop out.

Pigeon hunt
Once you get the telescope for the Skate Ranch, it should be on a barren solid concrete arch, on a wooden stand.

Easy points
To get a very easy high score, Rail Stall or Natas Spin. Do as many trick mods as you can before you fall. Before you fall, activate Focus mode. This makes it easier to balance. While in Focus mode, continue doing trick mods until you reach the maximum time limit. When you leave Focus mode, jump off quickly because you will most likely fall if you do not. It is possible to get over 2,000,000 points by doing this.

Avoiding crashes
When you do a trick off a ramp into the air, and if it appears that you are going to crash, get off your skateboard while still in the air. You should land safely on your feet.

Shred your board
At Iggyz place by the entrance, there is a wood shredder (as seen as you first get into the skate park). It reads "Trespassers enter here" Throw your board into the mouth. The board will be shown coming out in shreds.

Bike tricks
While on your bike you can do tricks that you have not learned yet any time.

Avoid wipeouts on bike
On the bike, start a high score run. If you are about to wipeout, press [Start] and go to "End High Score Run". If done correctly, you will start again and you will not wipeout.

Ride crosshanded
When you are on a bike, jump and do an X-Up, but hold [X] until after you land. Your rider will ride with his hands crossed. You can ride around as long as desied like this as long as you do not go in the air or do another trick.

See underwear
Select a female skater or create one with a skirt. Enable the "Perfect manual" code and do a manual. Then, do a handstand and position the camera so you can see up her skirt. All women in the game wear red underwear.

Flames and sparks without the cheat
Do a Primo Handstand. When your skater is doing the handstand, immediately press [R]. He will land the trick and there should be flames/sparks coming from his board. Note: This may require a few attempts. Also, you cannot do grinds, grabs, or anything to do with airing out of a half pipe.

Developer appearance
During the sequence when you rescue Boone from the Black Widows, the person riding the cow is Joel Jewett from Neversoft.

Das Oath-Awesome R***
To hear a very small portion of Awesome R***, play Dead Kennedys-Uber Alles. Wait a few seconds after the track is finished. You should hear about a half a second of the introduction.

Fat Albert The Movie reference
The Roller Coaster and Ferris Wheel are from Fat Albert; even knowing they say that they are from Philadelphia.

The Karate Kid reference
When you meet Master Zen for the second time, your character will make a comment saying "Is this a wax on, wax on thing?"

Glitch: Casino: See Master Zen
Go to the Casino level. Spine transfer the two quarter pipes in front of you. Once you are on the bottom floor, skate to the end of the carpet and stop. Hold [C-Stick Up] and look in the reflection on the floor. You can see Master Zen under the floor.

Glitch: Chicago: Stuck in ceiling
Enable the "Moon gravity" cheat. If you jump around the pool area while on the board where the white markings are inside the pool, you will fly into the air and get stuck in the ceiling. Once you are up there you can do some tricks grabs, specials, and spins, but no manuals. You can get a large number of points. To get down, move either up, down, left or right.

Glitch: Santa Monica: Get stuck
Stickerslap by the bus then Wallplant on the opposite wall. Quickly get off your board and get back on. Either walk through the little door or keep walking in to the black wall. If you go through the door you will be half inside the ground until you Ollie. If you go into the black wall you will not be able to do any tricks other than manual and manual mods. You also cannot get out of this area.

Glitch: Skate park: Walk through wall
Go near the back of Van's skate park, by the sign that reads "Caution stairs ahead bicyclists dismount". At the entrance to the staircase, dismount your bike or board and walk straight into the right or left door. Walk into the wall directly behind the left or right door. You should now be inside the wall and can walk out the way you came in or through the wall. Note: You cannot walk through the black parts. Some times if you try to walk into the black part it will "bounce" you away. When you try to walk into the black part, aim the bounce of your character at the wall. You will go out and become stuck in a walk mode. You cannot get back on your board.

Glitch: Skate park: Float to top
Go to Van's skate park and go to large wooden halfpipe in the back-left corner (from the entrance). Use a bike and Nose Manual on the edge farthest from the wall of the level. It is the same edge where the ramp into the half pipe is found. Crash the manual by running into the tables near the edge. You will rise to the ceiling and die.

Glitch: Wrong stance
Andrew Reynolds, Tony Trujillo, and Ryan Sheckler all have their stances as goofy, when they are actually all regular.
