How I did it.

After you cause the big earthquake that destroys the overpass, skate yourself ontop of the carwash and hop onto the overpass. A big chunck will look like a ramp leading from the roof of the carwash. Wait though. Because the car chase will swing around and stop in front of the car wash and the police and bandits will start shooting at each other. Once the chase stops, proceed up the overpass and you'll see a car dangling from the edge. It has crashed through the barrier and the driver is yelling for help. go past the car a little bit and turn around. Head back to the car and this time grind the guardrail. Hold your balance and grind towards the car, keep going, you'll actually grind over the dangling car. The car will fall off the overpass and crush the van that the police where chasing.


BTW, after that, turn around and go the otherway on the overpass. (away from the carwash) Keep going until you see some boards propped up on the guardrail. Jump that onto the building and head to the right. Stop when you can't continue any further, turn right and you'll see a pole sticking out of the big purple tower. jump from the building to the pole and grind your way to the secret tape.
2 Goals Accomplished.
If you get the sick score on that map let me know how you did it.

getting the sick score is pretty simple, you can A: turn on your "perfect grind" and "always special" codes, or you can B: trick of of everything and anything like mad for the two minutes

You can turn on the perfect grind?
I've been doing things the hard way then.
How do you do this, I haven't seen that piece of code...

If you want to get the sick score, there's a makeshift halfpipe between the two office buildings to the right of the start. (You'll know that you're close when you see the small pool.)

See if you can follow me.
I thought the trick to the sick score was finding the exact area where there are several "gaps" connected by a few trickable areas. For example. In the airport at the luggage claim room, if you grind down the left (or right) escolator 180/grind to the baggage cart railing, 180/grind to the first curved hand rail then hop the center space to the other curved hand rail then 180 to the baggage claim, 180/grind around that then hop to the escolator (you have now gone around the room) Now you can slide backwards and repeat the process. If you don't touch the floor once and do this 4 times (it's really easy to do) You've got the sick score. I know this alot of stuff to type, but I can't seem to find that perfect niche in L.A. I've grinded around the back wall jumped/ ground up the fire truck and proceeded to grind around the entire back corner of the map all the way to the theater but that doesn't seem to do much. Any ideas?

Oh well...

Here is how I got the sick score in LA. When you first start out go straight down the stairs and to the left there is a quarter pipe. Go off that and revert to manual as you land, then continue manualing up to the tremor rail in front of you (West Tremor I belive :rolleyes: ) then after you get to the end ollie off and do some type of easy trick (heelflip or kickflip) manual as you land and head over to the fountain that is in front of the two office buildings. Do your special grind around the fountain as long as you can. After 2 or 3 runs through this sequence you will have the score.

BTW--I haven't played this game for a LONG time. So if this is unclear or incoherent tell me and I might actually think of popping the game in so I can be more help.
