I ABOUT THIS FAQ
==============================================================================
As I was looking through the internet trying to find a GOOD strategy guide
that tells people how to get high scores _AND GIVES EXAMPLES OF LINES_ I found
that there were none. There is an overabundance of guides that gave only the
combo basics and nothing else. I believe that I have the ability to convey the
message of the combo basics in an understandable manner as well as give
strategies and lines, which none other has done for as many levels or as many
lines as I have found. For this reason I decided to write this FAQ.

==============================================================================
I I I COMBO BASICS
==============================================================================
With the introduction of the Revert, and the ability for the multiplier to go
well over what it ever could on any previous version of the THPS series (251
to be exact), as well as an infinite special during your combo, makes insane
scores achievable by very many in a short amount of time. However, there are
still many people that are having problems getting their scores up there. In
the next few paragraphs, I hope that I can explain just what is needed to get
scores that get into the tens of millions.
__________
Base Score
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
For those who have played any version of any Tony Hawk game, you should know,
or at least recognize what your base score is. When you start to combo, you
should see two numbers appear on your screen. One is the base score (BS) and
one is the multiplier (MP).
57,359 * 17
Now, the 57,359 is the Base Score (I will call it BS from now on). If you
landed this specific combo, you will have gotten a total of 975,103 (which is
57,359 multiplied by 17) points. Not much of a score, but just an example.
__________
Multiplyer
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Much like the BS, the Multiplyer (From now on, MP) should be familier to just
about every player of this great series. In the combo listed above, the number
17 is the MP.
______
Revert
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Personally, I despise the Revert. Eventually, though I have learned to except
it, but I still don't like it much. A revert is basically a quick 180 degree
turn right as you are landing on a quarter pipe (QP from now on). This can be
used to extend your trick, even after you land from a QP. It can be manualed
from or even jumped and tricked from. With the execption of Rio, it is next to
impossible to get over 10 000 000 points with out a revert.
________
Spinning
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Spinning has a similar role as is had in Tony Hawk 2. In both of the games you
needed to pull off huge spins in order to get your base score up high. The
larger your spin, the greater your score for that trick will be increased.
Degree of Spin Times score is increased
000 0
180 1.5
360 2.0
540 3.0
720 4.0
900 6.0
1080 8.0
1260 10.0
1440 12.0
So, if you do a Kickflip (worth 100 points) with a 360 then you will get 200
points. If you do a 1080 Kickflip, then you will get 800 points.
__________
Air Tricks
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Air tricks are any tricks that can be done off of a QP or a kicker ramp.
Usually 540s and 720s can be done off of the kickers and anything ranging from
540s to 1260s can be done off of the QPs. Air tricks should make up about 90%
of your BS. This is when you need to pull of special tricks with as large of a
spin as you can possibly get. For a listing of good tricks, read the section
for them later in this FAQ.
______
Grinds
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Grinds do not have as much importance in getting your base score up as they
did in Tony Hawk 2. No matter how large of a spin you do going into a grind,
you will always get a score as if you did no spin. It is for this reason that
grinds will play more of a supporting role, that keeps the combo going for a
while, just trying to get both you BS and your MP a bit of a boost.
_______
Manuals
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
More than ever before, manuals will play a huge part in extending your combo
to its absolute fullest potential. At the end of your combo, you will be
"tricking" to get your MP to its max. During your combo, you will manual from
grinds to grinds, to a QP, from a Revert, just about everywhere. To master
your manual is to master your combo.
________
Tricking
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
"Tricking" as I like to call it is the jumping from one manual to another
manual with a trick in between (Manual - Shove It - Manual - Shove It - Manual
- Shove It....). Unlike Tony Hawk 2, every trick you do will add 1 onto your
MP, so you will never have a MP of 145.5 thus making it easier to get your MP
up twice as quickly. As your combo starts to come to an end, you will want to
jump off of whatever you are on and just trick your way until you fall.
==============================================================================
I V COMBO STRATEGY
==============================================================================
_____
Goals
¯¯¯¯¯
The first thing that you should do is to create reasonable goals for yourself.
A good goal would be 1 000 000 point combo: 10 000 000 point combo.... In
order to get some of these combos, you will first need to know what kind of BS
and MP you will need to reach your goal.
This list shows some of the most common goals that people have, and what sort
of BS and MP you will need to get each one of your goals.
__________________________
Base Score vs. Multiplyer
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you looked at the chart above, you should have noticed that you will need
both to get ungodly scores. But for the common player, which is more
important? Personally, having felt the limitations of Tony Hawk 2 on PSX with
a MP of 28.5 but with base scores easier to build, then playing the same game
of Dreamcast having a MP of 103.5 but harder to build BS, multiplyer is much
more important. If you are able to build up your MP by "tricking" your MP to
over 100, you can get an easy 10 000 000 by doing a quick set of reverts. If
you are ever in a jam and need your score, build up your MP (this means you
have to be good at manualling)
____________________
Building Base Scores
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Unlike those of Tony Hawk 2, base scores CAN NOT be racked up by doing a 1080
into a long grind. Which, to me, is bittersweet. I was awsome at doing long
grinds, so I had to learn a whole new way of playing, and looking for good
lines. Anyway, building your base score should be the first goal of your
combo. Simply find a half pipe (HP from now on) and get your special up on one
side, then do a huge trick off of one side (1080 Special Grab - Revert) then
land in a revert. Keep in mind, there are no Perfect or Sloppy landings, like
previous versions of the game so if you land a bit off, it is alright. After
you land from the first revert, either manual to the other side of the HP, or
if you have enough speed, just jump off of that side and do the same as the
first jump. Then repeat what you did one more time.
After your third air trick and revert, you speed should be somewhat delpleted,
this is about time when you should start taking some strategy and find a good
line.
__________________
Finding Good Lines
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When looking for a line, try to get one that involves pretty many grinds that
are somewhat short, and many different rails. The more times you jump from one
grind to another you build your BS and MP, and if you jumped from one rail to
a different rail, you balance should be increased. Also, at the end of a
series of grinds look for a place where you can do another air trick (either a
QP or a kicker ramp, or jumping off of a ledge). Once you have these basics
down, try to make the combo a repeating one (Meaning you want to be able to go
in a circle over and over again for the same combo).
This crude drawing shows at least a basic conept of a good line. Get into the
HP, do a set of reverts then get out on the left rail. From there jump to the
top left rail, then top right. When you are done with that rail, jump over to
the QP and pull off an air trick. Revert and grind on the rail below the HP.
As a side note, whenever you are grinding any rail for any time greater that a
quick tap, do a special grind. The only time when you should not do a special
grind is if you a doing a "Kiss the Rail", but you will rarely want to do a
special manual.
____________________
Building Multiplyers
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Building your MP is much easier than in any other verison of Tony Hawk. Before
you get done building up your base score in a HP, your MP should be at least
10, and depending on how good you are at your grinding balance, it could be as
high as 200 before you are done with the actual combo. Once you are done with
the comboing, it is time for the tricking. As long as your manual balance is
good, you can build up a huge scores and quick. (Keep in mind if you have a BS
of 250 000, every 4 tricks nets you another million)
A good way to build up your MP but is kind of a cheat is to equip the "Casper"
special, then when you are ready, keep performing the Casper Flip. As long as
you are balancing, and doing it, you can build up your MP very fast.
________
Tricking
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At the end of your combo, you will want to trick out your MP. There are many
people that do this my doing a manual then a trick, then try to fix their
balance. This is not the way that you will want to do this. Try doing around
five quick jumps and and tricks, then fixing your balance. Another tip that I
picked up is; If you are a Nose Manualer (like I am) try to keep your balance
on the upper half of the meter. Likewise, a Manualer should try to keep it on
the bottom half of it. This way, when your balance starts to fail and you
overcorrect, you will be safe. Also, if you have a problem with the quick
balancing at the end of your combo, and prefer Nose Manuals, when you feel
yourself about to bail, switch to a manual and your combo will be landed.
________
Specials
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Just like every other Tony Hawk game, specials are the key to getting high
scores. Fortunatly for us, you can equip up to 10 specials for each one of
your characters. Preferably, try to get 5 or 6 air tricks and the rest grinds.
You will want to choose special air tricks that are quick and easy to pull
off.
1-2-3-4 Air
Nollie Flip Underflip
Super Hand Clap
Handspring Layout
Panhandling
Assume the Position II
Misty Flip
Kickflip Backflip
Christ Air
All of these special air tricks are great to have equiped. As for the special
grinds, choose whichever one you think looks cool and you are good at
balancing, because all of them are worth the exact same point value.
When you go off the the very first QP or HP to start out your combo, try to
pull off a 1080 Handsrping Layout - 1234 Air. This will net you around 55 000
points. However, most people find it hard to get that amount of air, so a good
idea is replacing the 1234 Air with the Nollie Flip Underflip. This will still
net you a good 45 000. On the second set, do whatever you want (I like
Panhandling) but anything is good including the Handspring Layout - Nollie
Flip Underflip again.
==============================================================================
V COMBO LINES
==============================================================================
***** I have talked to many people that have realized that most of the
courses only have one real good line, with some variations of it.
However, some people have figured out a way that adds replay value
(especially for those who hate the Revert *me* as well as others who
have both the Manual and Revert. Basically, they are making combos
using the THPS 1 trick engine and the THPS 2 trick engine. I will
include combos that support both of these styles of tricks, and they
will be noted in the beginning of each combo.
***** Also, for some of the lines posted (Mainly the THPS 1 based lines)
doing all of what I have posted is IMPOSSIBLE. However, most of what I
have posted is in some way connected to another part of the combo.
This means that I could have something posted in a line that no body
can do in the order that I have it posted, but it is still possible if
you try to do it in a different variation of the combo. The only
reason that I choose to do it this way is to help people create their
own combos. If they are on a rail, I am trying to show them all of the
possible ways they can go, weather it be in the beginning of their
combo, or at the tail end.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From the start of the level, skate down the rollin that is in front of you.
When you get to the bottom of the rollin, there will be a HP in front of you.
Get some air off of the side of the HP that is furthest from the start, then
begin your combo on the other side. Once you are done with your set of
Reverts, grind the lip of the HP going towards the left side of the level.
Quickly, jump off to your right and manual over to where there are two rails
next and a walkway. Grind the right rail, then transfer over to the left one.
At the end of this rail, jump strait ahead of you onto the rail that circles
around and behind the QP. Once you get up a bit on the rail, transfer over to
the lip of the QP. Once you get to the elevated part of the QP, transfer back
to the rail. **Then you could transfer over to the ledge to your left, then at
the end of it, wallride the wall and land back on a grind on the rail you were
on**. At the end of this rail, there are some different options you could
do...
__________
Option #1: At the end of that rail, jump off to the right and you should
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ see a quarter pipe in front of you. Perform an air trick off
of the quarter pipe and land in a Revert. Once you have
landed, manual and jump over and grind the lip of the QP.
After you are on the lip of the QP, transfer to the yellow
rail that is behind it. Grind this rail until the end of it,
then transfer back onto the walkway railing. **If you have the
right timing, you can hit the up-slope and pull off a 540 or
720 special before you land back in a grind.** At the end of
this railing, jump off and go to the right. Wallride the wall
to your right and try to do a quick special trick.
When you land, go off to the left a little bit and there
should be two quarter pipes near you. Grind the lip of the
nearest one, and then transfer over to the other one. At the
end of the second, jump off to the left and manual over
towards the wall. Do the same wallride trick as you did on the
other side.
Once you land, there should be a rail leading up to the waste
container in front of you. Grind this rail to the top, then
transfer to the next rail, then the rail that slopes down. At
the end of this rail, jump off slightly to the left and manual
up the slope and go into the flat area inside of the QP. Jump
off of a quarter pipe near the control booth and do a special
trick and land in a grind on the control booth.
If you are going towards where you just came from, follow the
instructions for Option #2. If you are going towards the other
way, just repeat as much as you can.
__________
Option #2: When nearing the end of the rail, jump off and grind the rail
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ that is in front of you. Then at the end of the up-slope, jump
off and grind the rail in front of you. **Depending on your
timing, you might be able to pull off a quick 540 special
before you grind.** Then grind the rail that goes down the
slope. At the end of the rail you have another couple of
options.
____________
Option #2-1: As soon as you get off, jump off to your right. The lip
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ of the quarter pipe should be near you. Grind the lip
going to the other side of the level. Once you are near
the end, jump off to your right and go towards the
handrails. From here, you can repeat what you just did
over again.
____________
Option #2-2: At the end of the rail jump off to the left. There will
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ be a wall off to your left. Wallride the wall and do a
quick special. When you land, go off to your right and
you should see two quarter pipes in front of you. Grind
the lip of the nearest one, then transfer to the other
one. From there, jump off to your right and the wall
should be right on your left Wallride the wall and pull
off a quick special and land in a manual. Then repeat
the process again.
No matter which option you choose, as soon as you can no longer balance on
rails, keep on tricking to get your MP up as high as you can.

F O U N D R Y # 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
NOTE: This combo is a THPS 1 based combo... (No manuals or Reverts)
____________
Variation #1 From the start of the level skate down the rollin and make
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ your way to the back of the level where there is the curved
quarter pipe. In the middle of the back end of the quarter
pipe is a control booth. Do a large spinning special grab
from the right side of the control booth and land in a grind
of the control booth going to the left.
Continue to grind the rail until you get to the large molten
bucket. Once you are there, jump over it and land in a grind
on the rail in front of you. Continue to grind this rail all
of the back to the molten bucket, then jump over it again.
When you start to go up the slope, jump off to the right and
grind the yellow rail. When you get to the flat part of the
rail, jump to your right and grind the ledge. At the gap,
jump to the ledge in front of you, then over to the yellow
rail. At the bottom of the yellow rail, jump off and land in
grind on the handrail by the walkway.
Transfer over to the left handrail, then back over to the
right. Then back over to the left handrail. At the bottom of
the handrail, jump off to your left and grind the lip of the
half pipe. As soon as you land on that, quickly and as often
as you can, jump up and do a trick and land in a grind again
____________
Variation #2 From the start of the level, make your way down the rollin
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and to the back of the level. When you get to where the long
curved quarter pipe is, you should see a platform above you.
Get up onto that platform. There will be another long curved
quarter pipe on that. Get some air off of one side, then on
the edge of the other side jump off and pull off a huge
special. Depending on which side of the quarter pipe you
jumped off of, follow either "Variation #1" listed above or
"Variation #2" listed below as your line.
____________
Variation #3 As soon as you start out the level, angle a bit to your left
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and there should be a kicker ramp in front of you. Jump off
of the kicker ramp and do a quick special trick. Land in a
grind on either the left or the right handrail on the
catwalk. If you are on the left side transfer over to the
right side and then go through the set of rails. If you are
on the right side, then just follow the set of rails that
you are on.
At the end of this rail, do a quick special grab and land in
a grind on the rail that is on top of the large buckets.
Grind this rail until its end, then jump off and do another
special grab and land on the yellow rail. As soon as you
land on that rail, jump off to your right and land in a
grind along the top of the quarter pipe. When you reach the
control booth, jump over it and land in a grind on the other
side.
Depending on your balancing skills, go around two or three
more times. Then when you get to the control booth the next
time around, jump off to the left and grind on the yellow
rail. From the end of the rail, jump off and land on the up-
slope of the next rail. At the top of this rail jump off and
grind the flat rail. Then quickly jump off to the right and
grind the rail that is parallel to you, and do the exact
same thing again.
You should now be facing the other direction. When you are
nearing the end of that rail, jump to the right, then backto
the left. You should be going back down a slope. At the
bottom of the slope, jump off to the yellow rail. As long as
you have balance, jump to the lip of the quarter pipe, and
continue with the combo using the "Variation #1" as your
line.
_____________________________
C A N A D A # 1
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As soon as you start out the level, turn off to the right and hop over the
fence. Continue to skate through the area with the pools and get into the area
with the two half pipes. Get into the halfpipe that is nearest to the parking
lot area. Then get some air off of the side that is furthest from the parking
lot. Then when you get to the other quarter pipe, do a big spin with a special
trick. Revert, then do the same on the other side, then once again on that
side.
As soon as you land from the third revert, jump up and grind the lip of the
quarter pipe. When you get on it jump off to the left and grind the top of the
fence. Then quickly jump back onto the lip of the quarter pipe. Continue to
grind this lip until you get to the gap in the quarter pipes. Jump the gap and
then land in a grind on the other side. From here, you have a couple of
options..
__________
Option #1: When you land on the lip of the quarter pipe, grind around
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ the corner, then jump off to the left and land in a grind
on the fence. You should see a totem pole ahead of you a
bit. When you get near the totem pole jump off to the left
and grind the wings of it.
At the end of the wing jump off and land in a grind on the
fence that is on the ground. When you near the corner of
the fence jump off to the right and grind the other fence.
After a bit of time on that fence, jump off to the right
and land in a grind on the rail.
__________
Option #2: Grind the lip of the quarter pipe around the corner and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ down the slope. When you start to near the end of the lip,
jump off strait ahead of you and land in a grind on the
short rail. Hold on to the grind and grind the next rail
ahead of you.
Which ever way you took, you should be on the same rail. At the end of this
rail, jump off and manual ahead of you and get some air off of the right side
of the curved quarter pipe. Do a large spinning special and land in a grind on
the fence. Grind the fence for a bit, then you have another couple of
options...
__________
Option #1: When you get about half way to the end of the fence, jump
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ off to your left and land in a grind on the top of the
funbox. Jump off of the funbox and manual strait ahead
until you get to the quarter pipe that is in the corner.
Do a spinning special trick, then land in a revert. Once
again, you have another couple of options...
____________
Option #1.1: As soon as you land, you should see a small quarter
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ pipe off to your right. Try to get your way around
the bend that you need to do, then get some air off
of the quarter pipe and do a spinning special.
Revert, then manual ahead and grind the fence that
you were on at the very beginning.
____________
Option #1.2: When you land, revert and skate a bit to the left,
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ you should see the fence that you jumped off of
going alongside the parking lot. Wall ride the wall
and then jump up and land in a grind on the fence.
__________
Option #2: Instead of jumping off of the fence to the left, simply
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ grind the fence around the corner and down the length of
the next side.
Either way, you should be grinding the fence going towards where you first
started. Right before you get to the quarter pipe, jump off to the right and
grind the lip of the quarter pipe. **If you want, you could go over to the
other side of the half pipe and do a trick, then go back on the lip of the
quarter pipe, but sometimes your speed gets completely eliminated.** Once you
are on the lip of this pipe, you can just circle around Canada as many times
as you can. Then when you have no rail balance left, jump off of the rails and
trick out your combo.
_____________________________
C A N A D A # 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Note: This line is a THPS 2 based line... (No Reverts)
When you first start out the level, turn right and then jump over the little
fence that is on your right. Grind the lip of the nearest edge of the nearest
pool, then go over to the pool in the back Circle around this pool so you have
good speed and are facing the curved quarter pipe. Get some air off of the
right side of the quarter pipe and do a spinning special. Land in a grind
along the fence. From here you have a few different options in which you could
take...
__________
Option #1: Just grind along this fence until you get to the half
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ pipe area in the back. Once you get there, you can pretty
much just follow the exact same line that is described
above in the "Canada #1" combo.
__________
Option #2: Grind this rail until it gets to the part where there is a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ funbox just to the left side of it. When you get there,
jump off and land in a grind on the top of the funbox.
Jump off of the funbox and manual over to the quarter pipe
that is strait ahead of you. Jump off of the right side
and do a spinning special. Land in a grind of the fence
that is beside the quarter pipe.
Grind this rail until you go completely around the quarter
pipe at the bottom of the parking lot area. There should
be a wire leading up to a pair of signs. Grind this wire,
and then the two signs. At the end of the second sign,
wall ride the wall and then grind the fence.
You should now be grind the fence in the opposite
direction that you just came from. When you get to the end
of the pool, jump off to the left and manual to the left a
bit, and then turn a fairly sharp right. You should have
the first quarter pipe in front of you. This is when you
just repeat the combo that you just did.
No matter which option you chose to take, make sure that you "trick out" at
the end of the combo so that you can get the maximum score possible out of
your combo.
As soon as you start the level jump down to the left. You should be in the
inside of a half pipe. Get some air off of the side nearest to the street.
Then do your set of three reverts off of the half pipe. When you land the
third revert, jump up and grind the lip of the quarter pipe in front of you to
the right. Jump once and grind the lip again. This should give you enough
speed to transfer over to the metal street railing.
Once you are on the street railing, grind it until you get to the end of it.
Then jump off and land in a grind along the bus stop. From the end of the bus
stop, jump off and grind the metal railing. At the end of this railing, jump
off of it and do a few manuals across the back of the level.
On the other side of the level, grind the railing itself (The metal part). At
the end of that, jump up and grind along the platform. About half the legth of
the platform is a raise in levels. Jump right as the raise comes and you
should get enough air to pull off of 720 Special trick.
Land in a grind on the cinder block wall. At the end of this wall, jump off
and grind the metal railing. Then from that railing, jump off and grind the
long cinder block wall. From there, jump off and grind the railing that is by
the street.
Continue this circle around the course until your balance is all but gone,
then jump off of the grind and trick out your combo.

Note: This combo is a THPS 2 based combo... (No Reverts)
When you start out the level go down the ramp and then get your special up. Go
back up the ramp and jump off to the right and pull off a spinning special.
Land in a grind along the lip of the quarter pipe. Then at the end of the
quarter pipe, jump off and land in a grind along the metal railing.
From here just continue the combo that is listed above and you should be able
to get a huge combo.
_____________________________________
S U B U R B I A # 1
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At the start of the level go down the ramp and then face towards the left. You
should see a thin half pipe on with its back connecting to the back of one of
the larger half pipes in the back of the level. Get some air off of the side
nearest to the street. Then do two reverts, and on your third time up the
quarter pipe, angle to the left and land in a grind on the wire. As soon as
you get past the lip of the quarter pipe, jump off to your left and land in a
grind on the ledge that is near the fence.
Grind this ledge around the corner until you are facing the center of a large
half pipe. Manual and jump through the two half pipes until you get to a
quarter pipe that is facing you. Jump off of this quarter pipe and revert.
Combo the same way you just came and grind the ledge again.
After grinding this ledge, jump off to your right and manual and jump forward
until you get to the half pipe that you started out the combo with. Jump off
of the quarter pipe nearest the street at an angle to the left. While doing a
spinning special land in a grind on the top of the trailer.
Grind the wire after the trailer, and right before you get to the next
trailer, jump off strait ahead and land in a grind on the planter that is
between the house and the fence *You may need to manual one time*. At the end
of the planter, jump off and grind the crack in the concrete that is in the
back yard.
Once you get your balance on that, jump over to one of the other two cracks.
At the end of either crack, there should be a quarter pipe in front of you.
Perform a spinning special off of the quarter pipe and revert. Quickly jump
back onto the crack that you just got off of. Transfer to another crack if you
think that you can. Then at the end of the cracks, jump off and try to grind
the planter that you came in on. From here you have a few different options
for tricks that you can do...
__________
Option #1: From the end of the planter jump off forward and manual
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ one time, then grind the top of the trailer that is in
front of you. Grinding this trailer should lead you to
near the original half pipe that you started the combo
with. Once you get near that half pipe, jump in it and do
a spinning special off of the side furthest from the
street and then land in a grind on the wire, basically
repeating the whole combo all over again.
__________
Option #2: At the end of the planter, jump off to your left and land
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in a manual. There should be a ledge just off of the house
that you can grind. Grind the ledge if you can, then
transfer to the second ledge. Jump off of the ledges and
manual your way across the street. When you get to the
other side you have another set of options that you can
do...
____________
Option #2.1: In front of you should be another street with a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ quarter pipe on either side of it. If you can, jump
off of one of the quarter pipes and do a spinning
special over to the other one. *This is very hard
to do so you may just want to do the spinning
special off of one of the quarter pipes and revert
your way back down*. Once you land, manual and jump
your way back across the street, where once again
you have another set of options...
_____________
Option #2.1a: Manual back over to the half pipe that you
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ began you combo with and do the exact same
thing as "Suburbia Combo 1: Option 1".
_____________
Option #2.1b: Manual all of the way across the street until
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ you get to the ledges right by the house that
lead to the planter. Grind the ledges, and
then transfer to the planter and continue
doing the combo from what you already have
done.
____________
Option #2.2: Manual across the street then turn to your left.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ There should be a kicker ramp that faces the pool.
Jump off of the kicker ramp and try to land in a
grind on the pool. If you can not grind the pool,
manual then grind the pool. Continue to grind the
pool until you face the same direction that you
came in. There should be a quarter pipe in front of
you. Jump off and do a spinning special to a revert
off of the quarter pipe. Jump off and land in a
grind on the quarter pipe.
When you face the wall that separates the two
yards, jump off and wall ride the wall. As soon as
you get to the peak of your wall ride, jump up and
grind the top of the wall. *You could also do a
quick 540 special if you want*. Then jump off until
you get into the street. Once you are in the street
you have the exact same options as "Suburbia Combo
1: Option 2.1a" and "Suburbia Combo 1: Option
2.1b".

A I R P O R T # 1
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Note: This combo is a THPS 1 based combo (no manuals or reverts).
From the start of the level skate forward until you get to the first set of
escalators. You should see a kicker ramp that is in front of you and leads to
a light railing. Jump off of the kicker ramp doing a 360 or 540 special and
land in a grind on the light. Once you are on the light and near the end, jump
off to your right and land in a grind on the diagonal light that leads towards
the right side of the level. Then at the end of that light, jump off and land
in a grind on the light that is parallel to the right wall. From this light,
jump off and land on the final light. Once you are nearing the end of this
light, jump off to the right and wall ride the wall and perform any special
trick that you choose. If you can, land in a grind on one of the benches in
the open area. From here you have one of two different options that you could
take...
_________
Option #1 When you land on the grind you can either try to build up
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ your base score by landing in a special grind and just
grinding out your combo until your balance is all gone. Or
you could land in a regular grind and then do hidden combo
after hidden combo to make your multiplyer higher than it
already is.
_________
Option #2 Option #2 is kind of an extension to option number one, but
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ it is a more stylish way to end your combo, even though you
may not get as many points as you would the other way.
When you land in a grind, grind around the circle one or
two times. When you are about to face the left hand wall
(as you are looking at the back of the level) jump off and
land in a grind on the top part of the benches. Make sure
that you land on the long strait part and not the part with
all of the curves. From there, simply grind until you are
near the end. Before you get to the end, jump up and grind
the same rail again to build up your speed. Then you can do
another one of two things...
___________
Option #2.1 When you land from you last jump, jump off to the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ right and land in a grind on the middle part of the
escalator that goes down. Once again you can do one
of two things to either build up your multiplyer or
your base score.
____________
Option #2.1a When you land, simply land in a special grind
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and grind your way to the bottom of the
escalator. Then when you are at the bottom,
jump off and do a trick and land your combo.
This way builds up your base score.
____________
Option #2.1b As soon as you land in a grind on the thick
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ rail jump and land in a grind of the other
side of the rail. This is kind of difficult to
explain, but you stay on the same part, you
just transfer sides. Keep on jumping back and
forth on the same rail all of the way down and
you should be able to add around ten total
points to your multiplyer.
___________
Option #2.2 As soon as you land on that rail, jump off to the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ left and wall ride the wall. Then as soon as you
can, jump off and do any special trick that you wish
to do. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can land in a
quick grind on one of the escalator rails, but that
rarely happens. This way is my personal favorite way
to end this combo.
_________________________________
A I R P O R T # 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Note: This combo is a THPS 1 based combo (no manuals or reverts).
As soon as you start off the level, turn to your right and get into the
baggage claim. As soon as you are in there, special grind the left side of the
long platform that goes through the walk way that you are in. Then after you
make the turn, jump over to the right side of it, then quickly back over to
the left side again. When you are at the end of this rail, jump off and land
in a grind on the escalator and grind your way to the bottom. At the bottom
you should see a set of rails that are side by side. Jump off and land in a
grind on the rail that is on the right. When you near the end, jump off and
land in a grind on the rail that curves towards the center of the baggage
claim area. Once again, jump off of this rail when it is at the end and land
in a grind on the other curved rail. Right before you get to the end of this
rail, jump off and land in a grind on the next rail. Grind this rail until its
very end, then jump off and grind the escalator rail that is directly in front
of you. Make sure that you jump off of the end of that rail, otherwise you
will do a long grind on the escalator that ends up depleting your grinding
balance. After you make your way back down, jump off and grind the rail that
you just came from.
Continue to grind this series of rails until you can no longer balance. Also,
if you are like me and prefer to do your THPS 1 combos with the "Super Stats"
cheat on (I like it like that because the balance seems to be a bit more like
the original game when you transfer rails, but when they are longer grinds, it
makes it much easier, so I usually turn it off when I am in the beginning of a
long grind) you can get this combo all of the way up to the 100 000 000 point
mark in free skate and around 45 000 000 in a 2 minute run.
_________________________________
A I R P O R T # 3
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From the start of the level skate down until you get to the bottom of the
second set of escalators. Once you are there, you should see a large quarter
pipe on either side of you. It does not matter which side you start on, so
just do your set of three spinning air tricks to reverts. When you land, turn
and face the escalators. Jump and land in a grind on one of the rails. When
you land, transfer onto anther one and grind that one until you start to fall
back down. When that happens, transfer to another and then at the end, jump
off and manual across the flat part just ahead of you. You should see a small
quarter pipe towards the back of the level. Get some air and do a spinning
special off of it. Then land in a revert. Manual across back to the
escalators. From here you can do one of two things...
_________
Option #1 When you get on the escalators, grind one rail on the outer
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ side of them. Then transfer to a middle rail, and then back
to the outside. Grind the outside one until you start to
come back down the slope. When that happens, jump and grind
one of the middle rails. If you can, jump back and grind
one of the outer rails.
This should start to look familier, so you can just keep on
doing this part of the combo until you do not have enough
speed to do anything greater than a 540 when you jump off
of the quarter pipe (Which is what I usually end up doing).
Then when you are done you should follow the directions for
"Airport Line 3 Option #2
_________
Option #2 When you get to the escalators, grind one of the middle
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ rails that is kind of fat. When you grind on one, quickly
jump to the other side and grind the other. This is hard to
explain how to do, but it kind of looks like you are doing
a hidden combo grind, but you are just transfering rails
very quickly. You should be able to do this around 5 or 6
times boosting your multiplyer up by around twelve total
points.
Then right as you get to the top of the slope, jump off and
do a 540 special grab and land in a manual. Manual and jump
until you get to the walkalator things (the things you
stand on and it moves you). Once you are there, grind the
fat middle part and just transfer from one side to the
other boosting your multiplyer even more. At the end of
this rail, you have one of two options...
___________
Option #2.1 Jump off of the rail and go to the right until you
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ get to the escalator. Once you are there, you have
another set of options...
____________
Option #2.1a Jump and grind one of the outer hand rails and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ then transfer to one of the middle ones. Then,
as soon as you land, transfer back over to the
other hand rail and continue to grind that one
until you come back down the slope. When that
happens, jump off and grind one of the inner
hand rails. Then at the end of that, jump off
and land in a manual.
____________
Option #2.1b Grind one of the inner handrails. Just like
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ you could have done on the other escalator and
walkalator, you should transfer from one side
of the railing back to the other side as
quickly as possible. Then when you are at the
top of the slope, jump off and do a 540
special and land in a manual.
From there, you should see another walkalator
in front on you. Grind the fat middle part of
the handrails and transfer back and fourth
over and over again until you are at the end
of the rail. Then, jump off to your left and
land in a manual. You should see a ledge that
closes in a baggage drop off area. Grind that
ledge until you get to the wall. Then jump off
and manual across the starting area until you
get to a ledge on the opposite side of the
area. Grind this ledge leading back to the
walkalator that you just came in from. Once
you are at the end of that rail, jump off and
go over towards that walkalator.
Once you land, jump off and grind the fat
middle part of the walkalator. Transfer from
one side of the rail back to the other
building up your multiplyer even more. Then at
the end of the rail, jump off and manual over
to the escalator in front of you. From here
you have another set of options...
______________
Option #2.1b.1 Manual over to the kicker ramp that is
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ahead of you, and jump off of that
doing a quick special and land in a
grind on the light rafter. Continue to
do the "Airport Line #1" until you get
to the end of the lights. Instead of
grinding the benches, just manual over
to the escalator and grind the fat
middle part of it and transfer back and
fourth from it.
______________
Option #2.1b.2 Manual to one of the fat middle rails.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Then transfer back and forth from one
side to the other building up your
multiplyer.
Either way that you could have went you should be at
the bottom of the first escalator (except "Airport
Line #3 Option #2.3b1" but I'll get to that). Once
you are there manual and jump over to the walkalator
that is right in front of you. Grind the fat middle
part of the railing. Then transfer from one side to
the other. At the end of this rail, jump off and
manual through the security check and towards the
next set of escalators.
From there grind the fat center part of escalator
and, well you know what to do. Once you are at the
bottom of the escalator, you can, "theoretically" do
the whole combo over again.
___________
Option #2.2 Once you are there, jump off to the left and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ manual through the security check. You should
be in a room where there are a set of rails.
Just do the combo that is listed as the
"Airport Line #1" combo.
No matter which option that you chose to go, be sure to trick out your combo
at the end of it to milk every last million out of the combo that you can.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Note: This is a THPS 1 based combo (No manuals or Reverts).
When you first start off the level you should see a wooden fence off to your
right separated the pool and half pipe area from the street area. Skate over
to that and grind the top of the fence. Keep on grinding until you get near
the end. Once you are there, jump off to your right and land in a grind on the
clover pool there. Grind the lip of this pool until there is a fence that is
on your left. Jump up and grind along this fence. From here you have a couple
of options you can do...
_________
Option #1 As soon as you land on the fence, jump off to your right
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and grind along the fence that you started your combo on.
Then after grinding the fence for a second, jump off and
land in a grind on the lip of the clover pool again,
essentially just making a circle around that area.
_________
Option #2 Grind the fence around the corner, then at the end of it,
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ jump off and land in a grind along the lip of the large
half pipe. When you get to the spot where there is a hump
in the half pipe, jump off of it and do a 540 or 720
special grab (or a flip if you prefer). This should align
you with the lip of the nearest pool, so just land in a
grind on it.
Once you are on this lip, grind it until you are right next
to the oval shaped pool. When you are there, do a quick
transfer to the lip of that pool and then grind the pool
around.
When the fence that you first started you combo on comes up
on your left, jump on it and grind. Grind this lip until
you get near the slope. From here you have a couple of
options you could do...
___________
Option #2.1 Jump off to your right and land in a grind on the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ wooden fence that is next to the deep end of the
pool to your right. Grind this fence until the end
of it, then jump off strait ahead and you should be
able to grind the lip of the pool again.
From there, grind the lip until you get to where the
other pool is just on your left. From here you have
another couple of options...
____________
Option #2.1a Simply continue to grind the same pool that
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ you are on until you get to where the wooden
fence that you started you combo on is to your
left. Once you are there, jump off and land in
a grind on it and continue with either "Skater
Island Line #1 Option #2.1" or with "Skater
Island Line #1 Option #2.2" or with "Skater
Island Line #1 Option #2.3"
____________
Option #2.1b When the other pool is on your left, do a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ quick transfer and land in a grind on the lip
there. Continue to grind this pool until you
do a complete circle. Once you are there,
transfer back to the deep-shallow pool and
pick up "Skater Island Line #1 Option #2.1a"
___________
Option #2.2 Grind until you are just at the beginning of the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ upwards slope, then jump off to your right and land
in a grind on the wooden plank that slopes upwards.
As soon as you start to grind, jump off and do a
quick 540 special. You should be right on line to
grind the lip of the half pipe.
Grind the lip of the pipe until its end, then jump
up and grind along the fence that curves off to the
right. As soon as you can, jump off to the left and
grind the fence that you originally started your
combo on.
___________
Option #2.3 Grind the slope going upwards. Right away you have a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ another set of line options that you could do...
____________
Option #2.3a This is very tricky, but you will need to jump
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ off to the left right before you get to the
top of the slope. Hopefully, you will be able
to grind one of the rafter railings that is in
the air. Grind this until it ends, then jump
off to the right and do a quick 540 special
grab and land in a grind back on the fence
that you started your combo on.
____________
Option #2.3b Just continue to grind the slope upwards and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ forward until you get to the clover pool
again.
As you may be able to tell by the description, this combo is a very
interesting combo. You can put very many different variations on the combo,
and since you can go around the loop a few times before you run out of
balance, you can do practically possible way and not repeat anything.
Writers Note: For me, this was probably the most fun that I had making a THPS
1 combo up to this point in the game. There was a lot of
improvisation and just jumping back and forth. If you do not
like THPS 1 combos, I suggest that you at least try this one.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skate forward at the start of the level until you get to where there is a half
pipe with one quarter pipe on the left wall and the other right next to the
opening that leads to the half pipe. Jump off of the side nearest the half
pipe and do a spinning special. After doing your set of three reverts, grind
the lip of the quarter pipe that is in front of you going towards the right.
At the end of that quarter pipe, jump off and land in a grind on the lip of
the next one.
After you grind around the corner, you should jump off and manual then jump
again. If you are lucky you should be able to land this jump on a grind on the
clover pool. If you are not, aim towards that way on your next jump. From here
just follow the combo listed under "Skater Island Combo #1 Option #2.3a" but
instead of jumping before the top of the slope, jump off right and the top and
do a 720 special grab and land in a manual. From there you can just manual
strait ahead and grind the lip of the quarter pipe where you first started to
grind.
From here you should be able to go around the Skater Island at least twice.
When you are done, get into the street area and just trick out your combo. You
should also try to grind as many of those small ledges and rails that are all
over the place. If you do that, it should provide enough speed to allow you to
jump off of a quarter pipe every now and then and do a spinning special to a
revert.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
From the start of the level make your way down the hill and to the right. Keep
on going forward until you get to where the fountain is. When you are there,
transfer up to the top of the lobby using one of the quarter pipes. When you
are up there, start your series of airs to reverts off of the side that is
nearest the Hollywood sign. On your third air, jump off to the left instead of
reverting and land in a grind on the top of the quarter pipe that is below.
From there, jump off and grind the edge of the planter.
Continue to grind the series of planters until the end of the last one. From
there you should do a 540 special trick (you can get a 1-2-3-4 Air if you time
it correctly) and land in a manual. Go over to the quarter pipe that is in
front of you and grind its lip to the left. Then at the end of the quarter
pipe, jump to the next. Finally, jump off to the right and wall ride the wall.
You should fall to a grind on the ladder of the fire engine. Grind this until
you are near the top, then jump off and wall ride the wall and do a quick 360
or 540 special grab and then land in a grind on the ledge. When you get near
the end of the edge, jump off to the right and do a wall ride to a 540 or 720
special (or a flip) and land in a grind on the steps below. Grind these steps
until there end, which should be a slope going upwards.
Jump off of this slope while doing a 540 special and land in a grind on the
chain that connects the two ledges. Then jump off to the left and manual
across the street to where there are a set of planters. Grind the first
planter towards the left. Then transfer to the next and then finally to the
"Earthquake Rail". At the end of that, jump off to the left and manual across
the street.
You should manual ahead until you get to a quarter pipe that is in the corner.
Get some air off of it and do a spinning special to a revert. Manual across
the walkway to the quarter pipe that you first started to grind and then just
continue to go around LA in your combo until you can no longer balance. Then
when you are done, make sure that you trick out your combo.

Manual and jump and land in the center of the fountain. Then jump over to the
quarter pipe that is next to the building. Jump off of the quarter pipe to the
left doing a spinning special and land in a grind on the top of the quarter
pipe that you originally started your combo out on.
From here you should be able to go around LA a couple of times before your
balance goes out on you. If you can, be sure to trick out this combo to get
your highest score possible.

Note: This is a THPS 1 based combo (No manuals or Reverts).
There are three different variations to the beginning of this combo...
____________
Variation #1 From the start of the level make your way down the hill and
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ to the right. Continue to go forward until you get into the
fountain. Then get onto the roof that you needed to for the
two previous combos listed. Jump off of the side further from
the Hollywood sign while doing a spinning special. Make sure
you are angled to the left. While you are in the air, you
should see a set of balconies. Grind the series of balconies,
then on the last one, continue to grind and you should grind
down and around the corner.
When you near the bottom of the slope, jump off to the right
and grind one of the hand rails on the walk way. If you are
on the side nearest to the car wash, jump one time and grind,

to grind the wire across the street.
Continue to grind the wire past the yellow
stand and almost to the corner. Then at the
end of it, jump off and hopefully you can land
in a grind on the outer edge of the fountain.
If you do, you can either do a special grind
to build up your base score some, or you can
do a large series of hidden combos until your
balance is gone.
_________
Option #2 Continue to grind the telephone wire until you get to a
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ yellow building type thing. Make sure that you have jumped
and grinded a few times otherwise you won't have enough
speed to do the next part. At the end of the rail, jump off
to the right and land in a grind on the ledge that goes to
the right.
Once you are on the ledge, grind it around the corner and
to its end. Then you can transfer to one of the steps that
is strait ahead of you. At the end of the steps, jump off
and land in a grind on the ledge. This ledge is not very
long, so just do a grind and jump off to the left. If you
have lucky timing you can do a Car Plant to end your combo.
If not, then just end your combo.

and over the rail that is in front of you. You should see a ledge that is a
bit ahead of you. Jump up and land in a grind on this ledge to the right. At
the end of the ledge, wall ride the wall and do a 540 Special grab or a flip
and land in a grind on the lip of the quarter pipe. You should be going to the
right. Jump and grind once or twice, then jump off to the left and wall ride
the wall. Jump off of the wall and do a 540 special grab or a flip and land in
a manual. From where you are at, manual strait ahead until you get to the
other end of the long quarter pipe. Jump off of the very right side and do a
540 special and land in a grind on the high rail just to the right of the
quarter pipe. At the end of this rail, jump off to the left and wall ride the
wall and then do a 540 special grab through the hidden room. When you land in
a manual, jump up and grind the lip of the quarter pipe going to the right.
Transfer over to the next quarter pipe, and then the next. As soon as you land
on the last one, jump off to the right and land in a manual. Then jump up and
grind the ledge that you first started at. Continue to do this combo until you
can no longer balance, and then simply jump off and trick out your combo as
much as possible.
