Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Strategy Guide: Miami

GameProWorld

(IDG) -- To tear up Tony's world, you need to know the tricks of the trade and how to unlock all the tapes. Here, we show you where to find the letters to spell "S-K-A-T-E", tell you how to accomplish each of the first two levels' unique objective, and explain how to find the hidden tape in the Miami level!

Warehouse: Woodland Hills

Since the warehouse in Woodland Hills is a small, well-contained training course, we're not going to cover it in detail. All the objectives are easy to complete, and you should be able to breeze through them in a relatively short time. Take the opportunity to practice your skills here before you advance to the other levels.

Miami School Daze

S-K-A-T-E or Die!

Take a flyin' leap off the awning, hit the ground, then swerve to your left and grind on the rail. The first letter, "S", is floating above the rail about halfway down.

When you reach the bottom of the rail, keep heading straight and you'll see a ramp. Floating above the ramp is the next letter, "K". Ollie up and bust a 360 Shove It (for some added style) to snag it. After landing your stunt, keep going straight and swerve around or ollie over the first rail you come to. On the second rail, bust a grind to collect the letter "A", which is floating just above you.

After hopping off the rail, make a beeline forward and take the pathway in the middle of the two concave ramp walls. The next letter, "T", is located a good distance above the right wall of the ramp. Work up some speed busting tricks on both walls by weaving back and forth.

After grabbing the "T", veer to your left and peep the rail located between the two pools. Ollie your way up into a grind - an FS Boardslide would look sweet - to collect the last letter in the level, "E".

Picnic Lunch

Your objective in Miami is to grind five picnic tables in order to collect one of the tapes. Start again from the top of the awning, but instead of taking a flying leap off the front, make a hard left and simply drop off the side. You should hit the ground just in front of the first table. If you don't see it, make a 180-degree turn. Hey - there it is!

Keep skating forward until you see a little pathway encased between two short walls. You can be a wimp and skate between the walls or let it rip and bust out a sick grind. Once you reach the bottom of the pathway, make a hard right to find the second picnic table.

After you grind the second table, make another right and breeze through the pathway between the two concave ramp walls. Remember these? Now you're riding in the opposite direction. Since time is of the essence, you may want to forget about pulling tricks and just cruise to the end of the pathway.

As you come out of the winding pathway, you should see the third table to your left. Grind it, then take a hard right. After making the hard right, you should see a gap with three bridges spanning it on your left side. Skate alongside the gap to find the next table.

Grind away on the fourth table, and proceed forward. To get to the final table, you have to cross the gap either by jumping it or by grinding on one of the bridge railings. It's your world - do what you want. Clear the gap and keep heading straight, skating with the short wall on your right side. You should now see the fifth and final table. Grind away, then collect your tape.

Hidden Tape!

To get to the Miami school's hidden tape, start the level by dropping off the side of the awning to your right. Now, go up the ramp that's directly in front of you and follow it all the way to the top.

When you reach the top, ride to the end of the short tunnel and make a hard left. To your right, you should see a huge glass sunroof; to your left, a brick structure with a concave ramp attached to its base and a plank extending from its roof. Build up some speed and head toward the brick structure with the concave ramp and plank. Ride up the side of the wall to reach the top.

Next, grind across the plank to reach the roof on the other side. Follow the top of the roof all the way to the end, then leap off and snag the hidden tape, which is floating in the air. Congrats, you've graduated!
