Skate 2 has recently hit stores exclusively for PS3 and Xbox 360 as the sequel to EA’s popular answer to Tony Hawk skateboarding series, Skate.
As with the first Skate game, there are a lot of hidden locations and achievements or trophies to be had. Some are not easy to figure out or find which is where this guide comes into play.
Below are instructions to complete the Skate 2 challenges, open all the locations, find all the Spots and all the Pools. It won’t be easy even with this cheats guide so you’ll need to put your best foot forward… literally.
Instructions to open up the Skate 2 challenges.
“Blaow!” Challenge
Locate the two arrows and then pump and hold the right trigger on the opposite quarter pipe. This will give you enough air and speed to pull off a trick on the gap tranny with the right trigger.
“Can You Spell Girl?” Challenge
Continuously start this challenge over until Eric Koston takes a fall. All you need to do is loops of 540’s by pressing the left and right analog stick in the same direction.
“Dunk Slam” Challenge
You only need one of the two ramps for this. Place one ramp just in front of the backboard. Place your set marker as far away from the ramp as possible up in the tunnel. Then when approaching the ramp at top speed, hit the right bumper just before hitting the ramp and you should grab it. Press up as you hit the ramp and hold it until you let go and head skyward.
“Vert with the Vampire” Challenge
You’ll need to build speed and air by going back and forth on the “vert” with ollies. Hold the right trigger to perform a tranny on the window side and then let go when the tranny ends. You should continue up the wall.
“Who Lives Here?” challenge
Find the kicker you need to land on to complete this challenge. You will need to move it to the right in order to land in the correct spot.
