Tony Hawk's Project 8
Cheat Codes/Hints
Jumping higher
Go up to a guard while you are off your skateboard and jump over him a few times. Sometimes you will get an extra boost in air. By doing this, you can get to places that you cannot normally jump to. You can hit a guard and make him chase you to the slums. In the lot in front of the Jeep Factory is a hidden spot icon. Hop the guard to collect it.
Massive Trick
Want to get 100000+ Points in one combo? Here's how. You'll need to find an area with two quarter pipes and a bit of an open area, not too uncommon in the game.
First off, get speed by doing spins between the two quarter pipes. Once you have a full metre of focus and lots of speed, go up the quarter pipe and perform the following tricks (doesnt have to be exact, just try);
- Get into focus mode
- Vertical Body Varial (flipping your entire body)
- Kickflip
- 360 Spin
- Kickflip
You should be able to do all of that before you begin falling again, now on your way down begin a "Nail the Trick" (press both sticks in), it doesnt matter what trick you do, but try to get atleast 3 different flips in. Then, even out your board and land.
When you land, do a stance-switch (press the right trigger), doing this lets you continue your combo on the ground. Right after the stance switch get into a manual (obviously, more points for doing a kickflip or other trick into the manual). Now that you're in manual, turn on focus again if it's stopped, and do as many grinds/stance switches/manual conversions as possible.
Finally, roll out of the manual and you'll have racked up a huge point count for that one combo, as long as you kept your manual long (if you can keep the manual going for about a minute, you're set.)
Play as a pro skater in career mode
Go to the training garage in the City Park. Select the pro skater you would like to play as in career mode then select any of the tutorials on their list. Once the tutorial starts, skate over to the two big garage doors that are on one side of the training room. One of the doors has a big arrow on the ground that is pointing towards it, and the other door has a big arrow on the ground that's pointing away from it. Stand on the arrow that's pointing towards one of the doors, and it should give you the option to leave. Use that to leave the training building, and you will appear in the City Park again as the pro skater.
Your tricks will not change to the pro skaters trick set, like they do in Free Skate mode. The tricks will remain the same as you had them set. Also, you will not be able to change anything on any of the pro skaters in your room (clothes, eye color, hair color, etc.).
The only way to change back to your other character is if you go to your room in Suburbia and recreate your skater. Before you can recreate your skater in your room, you will need to select one of the default looks so you aren't a pro skater any more (since you can't change anything on the pro skaters). Quitting the game without saving will not change you back into your other skater. If you do that you will still be the pro skater when you return to the game.
