Skate 2 Cheat: Change Clothing Color for Free
New T-shirts, Hoodies etc. cost cold, hard cash; so if you want to roll in certain colors it will cost you. To change your clothing's color free of charge, press pause and go to "Edit Skater." Buy a clothing item and leave the store. Now return to the store and select "Custom T-shirt." Select a color but instead of checking out, choose "Remove Item" on your receipt to remove the Custom T-shirt. Now, go back to the store (don't exit) and you can still change the color of what you are wearing.
While S.K.A.T.E. is a gentleman's game, there's an exploit that you can use if you are tearing your hair out for the incredibly difficult Can You Spell Girl? Pro Challenge -- and yes, it's cheating. First, though, start the challenge and quit out. Now, make sure you haven't moved the two items involved in the challenge: the ramp and the rail. Go reset both of these if they've been moved, or for good measure. Now you'll need another rail like the one in the challenge setup. It must be from far away to work, you can't use the nearby one at the bottom of the spillway, so you have some dragging to do. Go up the spillway tubes and ramps until you find the rail way up the hill past the overhanging bridge area. Pull that back and BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH THE CHALLENGE OBJECTS WITH IT. Pull it in between the picnic table ramp and the rail so it's parallel with the challenge's rail. Leave it and start the match. Now, the first trick will occur and it will seem like nothing's changed. But the second fellow will bail after jumping awkwardly and -- lo and behold -- your grind rail has appeared! Yes, they will keep bailing. So big ollies, adding some spin and so forth will get you a victory. Finally, be sure to hit QUIT instead of RETRY if given the option -- this is a byproduct of the glitch. You will still complete the challenge if you choose QUIT.
The Alien Manual Shop Pro Challenge is one of the game's most difficult challenges -- especially for people with overstressed thumbs. The good news is that you won't need to do any touchy manuals at all for this Challenge if you don't want to. Instead, get off your board and hop onto the first planter. Run across the planter and hop up the step, then off the other side. Stand still and get on your board again. This will activate the first bullet point of your challenge. Now, get off your board and hop onto the next planter. Hop across the gap between the planters. Run across the last section of planter and hop off. Stand still and get back on your board to inexplicably finish the challenge. Note for non-cheaters: If you want to take the challenge on without cheating, try coming at it backwards so you can just manual down the little step without bothering with an ollie. The gap... well that's a different story. But still, hit it backwards.
Here's the thing: you don't need to touch the backboard, you just need to plant in front of it. The key to this is a broken picnic table on the upper level of the area, to the right of where you spawn. Drag this down to the hoop, and drag one of those quarter pipes on top of it. These two things stack to make a hand plant spot on the lip of the elevated half pipe that's high enough to glitch out the photo. Put the table under the hoop, touching the pole of the hoop, making the first part of a two part ramp. Inch the quarter-pipe ramp up on top of this, far enough up the table so it just clears the bottom of the hoop -- and so your skater won't hit it. Now, back up about 3 pushes, go straight up your double decker ramp and handplant it -- you seem to need to tweak the handplant to get this challenge to complete.
First, find the "boob" used in the Throwdown in Lighthouse Park. You can head west, out the park gate, to find a big blue bench. Drag it over and place it lengthwise and so it's not in your own way. Now activate the Throwdown and choose the other skaters. Choose the Lighthouse for your venue and each opponent will glitch out and bail due to the foreign object. Complete this list for a Trophy / Achievement. Note: to beat Pros at a Throwdown without cheating, try doing double or triple kickflips. They cannot copy them.

Note: You may be able to do this while stopped, but we were best able to pull this off while slowly moving. First, you must be on flat ground. Hop off your board with Y then quickly hop back in -- so it looks like one smooth motion. But just as you feet near the board, hold Y + B + Right Trigger + Left Trigger. You may need to practice this to understand the timing. This will launch you skater about 50 feet skyward, immensely lengthening your air time when trying to bail and giving you more points for Thrasher Hall of Meat Challenges.
For the tricky hip transfer there's no need to play by the rules. Skate to the corner that you first have to launch off of for the transfer. Set your Session Marker and push once towards the middle of the opening of the marked corner. If you go too fast you will bail. Get off your board when you get to that corner opening, but make sure to NOT touch where the transfer begins. Walk across the pool towards where your supposed to land the transfer. Jump once (not on your board) then jump one more time getting on your skateboard in mid air, landing on the bottom wall of where you have to land the transfer. This should highlight the transfer requirement on the list. Grind the siding to complete the challenge.
This version of the automatic bail is much harder to pull off, but you do go higher and thus it is more effective for Thrasher Hall of Meat Challenges if you can get it down. First, press the L1 very lightly to crouch all the way down, but not touch your board. Coast while crouching and quickly tap the combo for a No Comply (push with your back foot and flick an ollie -- it's in your trick book, and it matters which foot is forward!). This must be done on flat ground. If you do this right you should spring off your board and catch some serious air.
For Jam with Danny Way, you can curtail the competition by dragging a roadblock object in front of Danny's path down the ramp. Just hop off your board and grab a roadblock from the top area and drag it over before starting the challenge. Don't block your own route down (although there are multiple starting ramps, Way uses only one).
A simple way to beat the Bonus Team Photo Challenge is to stand on the ledge above where the sponsor is supposed to handplant. Once you get up there, wait for him to approach the launch ramp and do a flip trick off the ledge just as he handplants.
"Kill" a spot (beat the second point requirement) after discovering it in Campaign Mode to unlock it for Freeplay and Party Play. There are 22 spots to unlock.
Win first place in all the Street Contests to unlock the etnies Skatepark.
After beat the first several Hall of Meat challenges, you will unlock a spawn point called "Lindley Tower" on your map. Go hear to do some serious damage to your body. Until then, check out the SV Dam, unlocked after finishing all Thrasher challenges. It's quite a drop!
Complete the finall Hall of Meat Challenge to unlock your old friend Dem Bones, an animated skeleton.
To attain the desired crown, perform the actions listed below:
- Legend - Reach Legend status online
- King of the Mountain - Beat every Race Challenge in Career Mode
To unlock Big Black for Freeskate and Party Play, enter this code at the in-game cheat menu: letsdowork.
Unlock the following places on the Challenge Map by performing the actions listed below:
- Training Park - Beat all of all Team Film Challenges
- S.V. Dam - Beat all of the Thrasher Mag challenges to drain
- S.V. Summit - Beat all of the Death Races to unlock the northernmost spawn point
- GvR Plaza - Beat all of the Street Challenges to unlock the etnies GvR Plaza.
- S.V. Stadium (Mega-Ramp) - Complete all of the Tranny Contests
- Monster Clubhouse - Beat the Raising Coin Demo and purchase for $200,000
Slappy bought the old Reg's mini-ramp, tweaked it a bit and hid it near his shop. Complete all of the Thrasher and Skateboard Mag Challenges, Death Races, Demos and Tranny and Street Contests (everything but the Pro and Bonus stuff) and Slappy will give you the keys to the Reg's mini-ramp. It's right behind the drop in to the park, where you start the game. Go into this warehouse area and move some dumpsters to get to it. It's a small bowl / pool area, not really a ramp.
Do 5000 Mongo Pushes (front-foot pushes) to unlock the Mongo Pusher Trophy.
Beat about 3/4 of the Thrasher Hall of Meat Challenges to unlock a spawn point atop Hideki Tower.
At the start of a race you are given the option to make a wager on the results. Crank this amount up to the maximum amount and begin the race. If you are doing poorly, pause it and restart. If you know you will win, cross the finish line and collect your winnings.
Just like in the first Skate, adding 540 degrees of spin will overwhelm the simple computer characters' programs. They either won't try the move, or they will bail. Remember to push both analog sticks in the direction of your spin to spin faster. Honestly, they'll usually bail on a 360 spin move too, so as long as you're spinning, you're winning!
If you can't get the height needed for a 540 spin, triple flips will also trip up your computer opponents. These require you to flick and hold a kickflip, allowing the board to spin multiple times before you land.
Also, adding a footplant upon landing, then continuing to spin will cause the spin to add up. Spin 360 degrees, footplant, and spin 180 degrees and you'll have an unstoppable 540.

First, you must unlock SV Peak via completing all the K.O.T.M. Death Race Challenges. Now, teleport to that location and find the shack with the quarter-pipe in it. Set up the ramp in an open area. Push up to this ramp and do a handplant invert to unlock the Trophy.
Cars go about twice as fast as you can push yourself on flat ground, so there are advantages to grabbing on to them when you get a chance. It is a good way to get an extra boost during a race, find some extra speed for a big gap, escape a chase or just another way to get around New San Vanelona.
Press and hold the 'world grab' button (same button for handplants and grabbing objects) to hitch a ride onto the back bumper of cars. You can grab onto them at a stop light or a stop sign or cars will also slow down when you swing in behind them (while holding down the world grab button) when you have some speed.
Once you grab on, the cars will start to speed. However, they still have to obey the rules of the road and they might get stuck behind a slower car ahead or stop at a light. So, keep your eyes on what is happening ahead and be ready to let go. When you let go from the side, hanging on with one hand, you pull yourself forward for an extra boost. Make McFly proud and watch for sports cars, they drive faster.
