I will try to explain to you the best ways to complete all of the gaps in this game since I did. All gaps in this game must be completed in "Road Tour" in order to count for gap completion for The Mime. Gaps completed anywhere else can be done, but it does not work for obtaining The Mime. You could use the other modes in order to see if you can even do the gaps. If you could, then you should do it in "Road Tour". It is a waste of time to me though. I'd rather practice in "Road Tour" so that if I get the gap, I don't need to do it again. I will make periodic references to the goals in this game in order to help you find the gap and / or gap area easier. If you cannot complete all of the goals in this game at least once with any biker, bike, or with knowledge to do the goals (meaning that you have to know how to execute and complete the goals with anybody and everybody), you will probably not be able to complete the gaps. Once you are able to do that, then you should have no problem completing all of the gaps with everybody. This is when you should read through and follow the directions in this walkthru. This is my first walkthru and my directions may be quite confusing. If they are, just try to do your best to do the gap. If you don't understand my directions, just try to find it on your own. This shouldn't be too hard since I found them all within a day or two. Completing all of the gaps will unlock the secret character of The Mime without the use of cheats (Unlock Mime Cheat (below)) (you can use cheats if you want, but none will do much for gap completion except Perfect Balance cheat which will make your grind / stall gaps 100% easier). I believe that the effort needed to complete the gaps is ridiculous since you can not play in "Road Tour" with The Mime or any other of the secret characters in the game (Day Smith, Vanessa, Big Foot, or Volcano). I have heard rumors of having to complete all goals / secrets / gaps to unlock the Mime, but this is just rumor. I did all of the gaps after all of the secrets were found by me and I got the Mime without all of the goals having been completed. The Mime will unlock after you have gotten all of the gaps in this game. I believe that you need to go to the Main Menu area before the words show that you have unlocked the Mime. I don't really remember because I wrote this walkthru after I had already completed all the gaps. I then did all of the gaps again for you, so that you can do them all too. Just to clear things up. After I completed my last gap in Tiki Park, HI, the words did not show that I unlocked the Mime. Since I had unlocked three other secret characters (Day Smith, Venessa, and Big Foot), I went to go to the "Free Ride" mode to see if I had the Mime. Once I went to the Main Menu area the words appeared that I had unlocked the Mime, and I checked to make sure, and I had Day Smith, Venessa, Big Foot, and the Mime along with the other normal bikers in "Free Ride" mode. In order to complete the Gap gaps, you will need to do any aerial trick (flip or grab) while executing the gap. If I state a gap by saying that you must go or transfer from one quarterpipe or halfpipe to another, I actually mean that you should transfer from one quarterpipe or halfpipe lip to another. If you do not execute a trick or transfer from one quarterpipe lip to the other quarterpipe lip, you probably will not get the gap. This rule does not apply to all Gap gaps, but it does apply to most of them. It's just easier to say to do a trick while completing the gap so that you can be assured that you will get the gap. It isn't that hard to do a trick transferring over a gap. Also, if you do not get the gap following my directions, just make sure that you are executing an aerial trick from one lip to another. If you still can't get the gap, you're hopeless, because as I stated I have completed all the gaps in this game at least twice so I am certain that my directions are correct. Also, in order to get the Grind gaps (gaps listed under Grind), you will need to do one continuous grind, unless there is gap in between the pieces that you must grind, then those would be called grind-gaps (listed under Gap gaps(you should not need to execute a trick in between these gaps)). While trying to do the stall gaps, you will need to press and hold the triangle button right before the place that you would need to stall and hold that stall for about 5 seconds until the name of the gap comes up on the screen. You must remember this piece of information. This is because some stalls do not look like you can even reach the stall point (such as the Insane Awning Stall in Los Angeles), but believe me, you can stall on those points as long as you press and hold the triangle button right before you stall on the stall point. While trying to complete the stall, some stall areas have other stall points above, below, or above and below the stall point. If you stall above or below the stall point, you usually will not get the stall completed. Stalls in my walkthru will be listed underneath Grind since this is the way that the game is also set-up. I am doing this walkthru so that those of you who do not want to take up the time of your day in order to find the gaps on your own or need help for excess stress and / or frustration or undue abuse on your controller and / or Playstation 2 console. I am not including my e-mail address so that you could ask me questions about other things than gaps or my walkthru. I do not have time to answer those questions. I will entertain questions pertaining to the gaps or things about my walkthru. If I deem that your question is something other than that, you will not get a response. If I do send you a response, you will get it back within a week or two since I am busy doing more important things. Before I get any questions about the gaps, let me state that I have described the gaps to the best of my ability and that all the gaps are correct. I am sure about this because I have done every gap in this game at least twice (once to unlock the Mime on my own, and a second time so that I will be able to describe how to get the gap for all of you). If you don't get the gap, try and try again until you do. Anyways, when you look for and try to complete the gaps on your own, you will become a better and more skilled player. I am already an excellent player because of my video game experience and my skills. I usually use walkthrus, but I was forced to do this on my own since I could not find another gap walkthru other than my own. If you want to quickly jump to a certain section of the walkthru just push Control + F. Then push 1COD to get to the search codes section. It will be with the Table of Contents. Next to each section will be a search code. Enter the correct code to get to the section in the Table of Contents. Then just enter the code again after pushing Control + F to get to your desired section. Each code will be 4 characters long (one number then three capital letters). This is the "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Complete Gap Walkthru for Playstation 2". Enjoy! ========================================================================== 1-1: Notes [1NOT] ==================== 1: Complete all of the 164 gaps in "Road Tour" to unlock The Mime. 2: Remember to execute a trick and transfer from one lip to another while going for Gap gaps. 3: Grind gaps (gaps listed under Grind) are done as one continuous grind (not jump, grind, jump, grind) unless noted as a stall (listed as a Grind gap) or grind-gap (listed as a Gap gap). 4: You must jump in between the two or more grinding objects for a grind-gap (a type of gap listed under Gap). 5: The triangle button must be pressed and held right before you reach your stall area. 6: Your gap is not completed unless the name of the gap you are doing shows up on the screen. 7: To quickly jump to a section push Contol + F, 1COD, Control + F, desired code, Control + F, and then the desired code again. ========================================================================== 1-2: Definitions [2DEF] ========================== Roll-in- The part of a ramp that curves onto a platform is called a roll-in because of the purpose it serves. Tongue- A combination roll-in / kicker. Quarterpipe- A ramp which is usually about one quarter of a 360 degree pipe. Half of a half pipe split down the flat section. Halfpipe- A type of ramp that is shaped like a half of a pipe, but designed with a flat section between the bottoms of the transitions. Spine- A double-sided ramp that is two quarterpipes put back to back. Kicker- A flat ramp that is used to go off of and execute tricks or to go up, do a trick, and come back down.

A platform object with banked sides and sometimes a handrail. ========================================================================== 1-3: Cheats (if needed) [3CHE] ================================= These cheats must be entered in at the "Press Start" screen. If your cheat has been activated, you will hear a noise right after the code is entered. Perfect Balance cheat --------------------- (This will make your Grind gaps 100% easier.) Down, Up, Circle, Down, Up, Circle, Down, Up, Circle (or Down, Up, Circle x 3). Unlock The Mime --------------- (The Mime can not be used in "Road Tour".) (This cheat should only be used if you can not understand my directions or if you are too lazy to look for the gaps on your own.) Triangle, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left. ========================================================================== Sample Gap: ========================================== City, State (total gap #) [search code] ========================================== "Secret Area", How to open or get to it, and Location ============================ # Gap / Grind search code ============================ Gap Name (point value) ---------------------- Description of gap =========================================== 2: OK City, OK (22 gaps / grinds) [1OKC] =========================================== For some of these gaps you will need to go to the warehouse area. You can open the warehouse area by doing the "Unlock the Warehouse" Amateur Goal. The warehouse area will be through the doors along the wall on your right from where you start the level. ====================== 2-1: 12 Gaps [2OKC] ====================== Dakota Gap (800 pts) -------------------- The Dakota Gap is a combination of Gaps One and Two. When you start, go to your right and face the quarterpipe along the right wall. You should see a red rail to the left of you. You will be facing the wall that has the warehouse doors on it. Go up that quarterpipe, catch some air, come back down and do a trick going over the whole funbox-type thing that will be directly ahead of you after you come down the quarterpipe. You should be trying to go from right to left or left to right of where you start. Dakota Transfer (3000 pts) -------------------------- The Dakota Transfer is a somewhat difficult gap to get. It will be easiest to do it the way that I explain. What you need to do is to go off of the tongue and get to the walkway. Now, face towards the tongue (or the back wall of where you start). Go forward left or right to get to the quarterpipe along the back wall. The tunnel will be on your left if you went right, or it will be on your right if you went left. Now what you need to do is to transfer from one quarterpipe to the next, going over the platform that the tunnel goes through. When you transfer over the platform, you will need to execute a trick in order for the gap to get completed. This might take you a few tries. Just keep at it and you will get it. Gap One (800 pts) ----------------- You will have to do a perfect 360 nothing over this gap for one of your goals. If you still do not know, I will try to explain. Gap One is to the right of you when you start. Get off of the platform that you are on when you start by going to your right. When you are on the ground, look at the back wall. There should be a tunnel on your right and a long quarterpipe directly ahead of you and continuing along the right hand wall (left hand wall, if you are facing the back). To get the gap catch some air off of the quarterpipe, come back down, and do a trick while jumping over the funbox-type thing ahead of you. Gap Two (800 pts) ----------------- This gap is just like Gap One, but it is to the left of where you start instead of to the right. You also do not need to do a goal that includes this gap. Go to the left of where you start and the tunnel will be on your left when you are facing the quarterpipe that you need to get air off of. To get the gap go off of the quarterpipe along the back, get some air, come down, and do a trick while jumping over the funbox-type thing in front of you. Mcspliff Transfer (1000 pts) ---------------------------- This gap is relatively easy. In order to get it, you will need to go into the warehouse. When you do, you will need to get to the back wall of it. When you are there, go up the roll-in that is there to get to a little room with the green conveyer belt on your right, a quarter pipe ahead of you with a pipe on the wall above it, and a small quarterpipe and two kickers behind you along with the roll-in that you came up. To get the gap you need to transfer from the quarterpipe that is in front of you, go over the green conveyer belt on your right while doing a trick, and come down the quarterpipe on the other side of the conveyer belt. Roll-in Transfer (800 pts) -------------------------- When you start the level, you will see a little ramp (tongue) in front of you. Go off of that tongue to the walkway. You will be in a part of the walkway that will have a quarterpipe on your left continuing all the way around to you right. In between a part of the quarterpipe on your right will be a roll-in. This is a ramp. It will break the quarterpipe on your right. To get the gap you need to do a transfer from one part of the quarterpipe, over the roll-in while doing a trick, and down on the other part of the quarterpipe. Tongue Air (500 pts) -------------------- Do you see the ramp that is directly in front of you with the R inside a circle when you start? If you do, you have found the tongue. All that you have to do is pull a trick while jumping from the tongue to get this gap. Simple. Big Bowl Air (600 pts) ---------------------- As soon as you start this level, go over the tongue and down to the walkway directly in front of it. Go over the quarterpipe on your left side and fall into the bowl. Once in the middle of the bowl, look to your left and notice the roll-in separating the complete bowl. To get this gap you must go up the roll-in with some degree of speed and execute a trick when you go over the roll-in to get to the walkway next to Gap Two. This should be enough. I have also found another way to do this gap, although you will need to hold a long grind, but you will not need to execute a trick to get this gap. This method will give you two gaps for the price of one! Do the Commando Grind. Once you are at the end of the pipe, just jump onto the light fixture and grind that object to the end. Once at the end of the light fixture, just jump off into the bowl, and you will have just done the Commando Grind gap and the Big Bowl Air gap. Wanna Bee! (800 pts) -------------------- When you first start this level, go to the right side wall and go through the warehouse doors. Once through the doors, go to the quarterpipe along the left-hand wall. What you must do to get this gap is go up the quarterpipe, catch some air, come down the quarterpipe, and then jump and execute a trick while jumping over the funbox platform with the bee on it and landing on the platform slightly higher than that one. Cargo Transfer (1000 pts) ------------------------- Once you start the level, you will need to go through the warehouse doors and along the right side wall. Near the end of the right wall, you will notice boxes in between two long quarterpipes and a small quarterpipe. The small quarterpipe will be in between the two longer ones. To get the Cargo Transfer, you will need to go off of one of the longer quarterpipes, execute a trick, and come down on the small quarterpipe. C-belt Transfer (10000 pts) --------------------------- To get this gap, you will need to go into the warehouse area. Once through the doors, you will notice a green conveyer belt going left to right directly after the fun-box object ahead of you. You will need to go to the opposite side of the conveyer belt that you are already on and face towards the doorway area of the warehouse. If you look up and to your right, you will notice a green conveyer belt that has yellow rails with a gap in between each side of rails. The long quarterpipe underneath it will be directly lined up with this gap. You will need to go off of the quarterpipe ahead of you when facing the doorway, catch some air, and when you come back down you need to keep the speed you built up and launch up and over the higher portion of conveyer belt while executing a trick and come back down on the other side of the belt in order to get this gap. This may be difficult, but that is the way to get the gap. I've done it plenty of times. Lil' Belt Transfer (1500 pts) ----------------------------- To get this gap, you will need to get into the warehouse area. Once through the doors, you will notice a green conveyer belt going from left to right after the fun-box object directly ahead of you. You need to go over to the other side of the conveyer belt and look towards the back wall. To get the gap, catch some air going off of the quarterpipe ahead of you and when you come back down, you must keep the speed that you have built up and transfer over the lowest point of the conveyer belt while executing a trick and coming down on the quarterpipe on the other side of the conveyer belt. ======================== 2-2: 10 Grinds [3OKC] ======================== Fatty Grind (1000 pts) ---------------------- If you have already gotten the CD in this level, then you have probably already done the Fatty Grind. If you have not gotten the CD, you can get it and the Fatty Grind at once. There are three methods to getting it. The first method is to get into the bowl forward left of your starting point. Once in there, get some air on the side opposite the Duff's Precision Engineered Footwear sign, come down, and come up angled toward the right and press and hold the triangle button to grind towards the right of the pipe. If you did it right, you will be grinding towards the wall. If not, you will land in a stall, which means that you were not angled enough and you will need to try it again. Watch where you are going because there is a space in the pipe to another pipe. Once you get there, jump and press and hold your triangle button right before landing on the pipe. If not, you will wallride and not land back on the pipe and have to do it all over again. If you do land back on it, keep grinding until you get to the end of the pipe. You will see a large gap where the warehouse door is. Jump over it and press and hold the triangle button right before you land on the pipe between the two warehouse doors. If you grind the pipe between the two warehouse doors, you will get the Fatty Grind. The second method is to go to the wall on the other side of where you start and get into the corner next to the bowl. With the wall on your left, facing the warehouse doors, and with the bowl on your right, go forward and wallride up that wall and grind the rail above it. Follow the rest of the directions for the previous method to get the gap this way. The third method is a lot simpler. When you start the level transfer off of the tongue with the R in a circle ahead of you and land in a grind on the light fixture to the right of it (you will need to get the keys to the bus as an Amateur Goal on this fixture). At the end of the light fixture, transfer to a grind on the rail along the wall. Follow the rest of the directions for the first method to get the gap. High Corner Grind (1500 pts) ---------------------------- If you have unlocked the secret area in this level with the bull on the wall, Day Smith, and the Gear outfit, go to the entrance where the ramp / quarterpipe / roll-in was placed by the forklift. If you haven't unlocked it go through the warehouse doors and go to the ledge along the right-hand wall. Look towards the back of the warehouse. You will notice the ledge goes higher up. Go up the ledge until you reach a pipe. Grind this pipe to the end to get the High Corner Grind. If you don't understand, you will be at the other end of the McSpliff Transfer when you dismount from the pipe (at the end of your grind). Rodeo Clown (3000 pts) ---------------------- When you start this area, go through the warehouse doors on your right. If you have activated the switch to have the ramp put on the right wall, go up the ramp and to the secret area where you set off one fire alarm. If you have not activated the switch, look for it. If you can't find the switch just give up (this game is way to hard for you). Once in the secret area go into the halfpipe. Go up one side of it once you catch the speed and grind the top of one edge towards where you came into this area. You will notice a bull on the wall with horns that line up with the top edges of the halfpipe. You just need jump from a grind on the halfpipe edge to a grind on the bull's horns. Once you grind the whole bull's horns you will get this gap. The Commando Grind (5000 pts) ----------------------------- I have found two different ways to do this gap. Both ways are just as easy for me since I am such a good player. The first method is to start the level and ride forward all the way to the opposite wall. Once there, go into the corner closest to the warehouse doors. Look the opposite way as the door and you will notice a ramp (on the right side of the bowl). Go up this ramp with some speed and wallride the wall into a grind on the pipe. Hold this grind as long as you can. Do not jump and grind again or you might not get the gap. You must grind the pipe for about 8 or 9 seconds to get the gap. The second method is all right too. Get into the bowl by riding forward and left of your start position. Once in the bowl, catch some air opposite the Duff's Precision Engineered Footwear sign side. Come down and go up the Duff's side at an angle towards the left and press and hold your triangle button once over the lip of the bowl. If you did it right, you will be grinding the pipe needed to get the Commando Grind. This method is great for gameplay. You will just need to hold the grind for about 8 or 9 seconds to get the gap. If you want, or if you are a decent player, or if you have the perfect balance cheat in, you can grind the pipe after getting the Commando Grind, jump off of the end of the pipe, land in a grind on the light fixture, and hold that grind to the end. Once at the end, just jump off into the bowl, and you will get the Big Bowl Air gap as well. You will not need to execute a trick to get that gap either. This is recommended since you will get 2 gaps for the little effort of just balancing the grind and jumping. Yellow Streak Grind (500 pts) ----------------------------- This grind isn't too bad. What you need to do is go through the warehouse doors from where you start. Once through the doors, look to your right. You will notice a forklift. If you unlocked the secret area, it is at the bottom of the quarterpipe into the secret area. The forklift is on a corner quarterpipe. There is a yellow streak along the edge of this piece. To get the gap, you just need to grind this corner quarterpipe along the yellow streak. Hightop Cargo Stall (2000 pts) ------------------------------ To get this gap, you will need to go through the warehouse doors after beginning the level and go to the right wall. You will notice 3 quarterpipes (two long and one short). Go to the last quarterpipe, which is a long one, and notice the boxes above it. To get the gap, you will need to go up the quarterpipe and land in a stall on the top of the boxes. C-belt Grind (800 pts) ---------------------- To get this gap, you must go through the warehouse doors. Once there, you will notice a green conveyer belt going left to right through the middle of the warehouse. You will need to go up either side of the conveyer belt on a quarterpipe. You will then need to grind the yellow rail along this conveyer belt. The easiest side I believe is the side closest to the warehouse doors (the side closest to you when you when you get into the warehouse). Either side will give you the gap though. Little Red Rail (300 pts) ------------------------- When you start this level, go to the right wall and get to the warehouse doors. Once at the right warehouse door, but still in the starting area, look close to your area and you will notice a little red rail (it should be either behind you, to the left of you, or to the right of you (it will be at the top of the roll-in and quarterpipe area that you will be on)). Just grind down this rail to get the gap. Simple. Hightop Grind (1000 pts) ------------------------- To get this gap, you will need to go into the warehouse. Once in it, go to the back of the warehouse. You will notice a roll-in in the wall in the back on the left side. Go up it to a little room with a green conveyer belt on your right, a long quarterpipe with a pipe above it ahead of you, and two kickers and small quarterpipe along with the roll-in behind you. This is also the room I explained for the Mcspliff Transfer. If you are here, look behind you. You will notice two kickers, the roll-in that you came up, and a small quarterpipe. You must aim for the kicker on your right. Do not look directly straight at the kicker. You must be angled towards the wall a little bit like you are going for a wallride or fastplant. Bring your rider to the very top of the roll-in and angle towards the kicker. You must then ride towards the kicker and jump right before or right at the end of the kicker. If you did it right you will be grinding the pipe that is right next to the kicker. Now just hold that grind to get the gap. You will get the gap after grinding from the rail to a ledge. The gap is on the ledge. Bench Grind (300 pts) --------------------- This is a simple gap. In order to get this one, look behind yourself as soon as you start this level. You will notice a bench behind you near the wall. Just grind the length of this bench and you will get the gap. =========================================== 3: Chicago, IL (35 gaps / grinds) [1CHI] =========================================== For some of these gaps you will need to have opened the area on the other side of the river. You can do this by doing the "Bridge Toll, Deposit 5 Tokens" Semi-Pro Goal. When you start the level, turn to your right and go down the ramp to the bottom and go into the street. Turn to your right and follow the road a short distance until you notice the bridge on your left. Cross the bridge and you will be in the area. ====================== 3-1: 10 Gaps [2CHI] ====================== Rooftop Gap (2500 pts) ---------------------- Go forward when you start the level until you reach a bridge on your left heading left (it will be one or two seconds ahead of your start area). Follow the bridge towards the end and go up the ramp on the left of the end of the bridge. At the top of the ramp take a right to go through the heli-pad where you did the "Rider Down, Free the Medi-Vac Chopper" Amateur Goal. Go down the ramp on the other side of the heli-pad and you will notice a wooden kicker in the corner of the rail on your right. To get the gap, you need to transfer from the wooden kicker, execute a trick while in the air, and land (preferably on the kicker on the other end of the alley that you are jumping, but will also work if you get close to the other kicker and land in the alley). Plaza Gap (800 pts) ------------------- Turn and go left once you start the level until you reach a quarterpipe on your left and a ramp on your right (this area will be at the very bottom of the ramp on your left). To get this gap, you need to go up the ramp to your right, jump right before you get to the top of the ramp, execute a trick while in the air, and come down on the ramp on the other side of the bridge. North Bench Grind Gap (1000 pts) -------------------------------- Turn to your right when you start the level. You will see two benches on your right after the bottom of the ramp. To get the gap, you will need to grind one bench, jump over the space in between the benches, and land in a grind and hold the grind on the other bench. Planter Gap (500 pts) --------------------- Go forward from where you start. At the bottom of the ramp you will notice a ramp with a wall and a planter to the left of it on the building ahead and to the right of you and also a planter next to the building ahead and to the left of you. To get the gap, you will need to transfer off of the kicker on one end of the planter on the right, execute a trick in the air, and come down on the other kicker on the other side of the planter. Sidewalk Transfer (1000 pts) ---------------------------- Go forward when you begin the level and follow the building on your right. Turn right, right before the top of the ramp, and continue following the building on your right until you get to the street.

In order to do that, you will need to have gotten the key from the pelican in the "Catch The Pelican" Amateur Goal. To get to this area you will need to turn left from your starting point, go up either of the two ramps, go through the doorway ahead of you, and into the next area. Then turn right and continue ahead until you notice the open door near the end on your right. Go through that door, the hallway, and transfer from the kicker at the end of the dock to the ship. Once on the ship, go towards the middle mast and ride around. You should have dropped a plank. This plank will be straight ahead of your starting point between the two quarterpipes leading towards the ship. With that done, you can go to the ship by going from the kicker to the ship, or by grinding the plank to the ship. ===================== 4-1: 7 Gaps [2BOS] ===================== Skin Chafer (5500 pts) ---------------------- Turn towards your right when you start.

Double Ender (2000 pts) ----------------------- To get this gap, turn towards your right when you start. You will notice a long quarterpipe after the pelican quarterpipe. You need to transfer to your right when you go off of the long quarterpipe to reach a small halfpipe area. When you come down from the transfer, continue ahead and transfer to your right again, but this time off of the small halfpipe and down onto the opposite end of the pelican quarterpipe object where there is just enough area to come down with a successful transfer. Insane Port Transfer (5000 pts) ------------------------------- To get this gap, go forward from where you start and transfer from the left small quarterpipe to the small quarterpipe to the left and above that one that will be on a ledge. From here, you will need to get some speed and transfer from that quarterpipe to the quarterpipe on the right side of the quarterpipe (which will be below and right of you) to the right side of the one you transferred from (so you will need to transfer over one whole quarterpipe that will be below and right of you and land down on the quarterpipe to the right of that one) while executing a trick. Port Skipper (2500 pts) ----------------------- Turn to your right when you start and notice the long quarterpipe after the pelican object. To get this gap, you need to go off of the left side of the long quarterpipe and transfer to the left onto the small wooden halfpipe object while doing a trick over the water. The Minho (800 pts) ------------------- To get this gap, you need to turn towards your right from where you start and transfer from the long quarterpipe to the left onto the small wooden halfpipe. Once you come down from the small wooden halfpipe (which will be the Port Skipper gap), continue forward and transfer from that end of the small wooden halfpipe while executing a trick over the water and come down on the wooden halfpipe after it. Northern Lights Gap-Grind (1500 pts) ------------------------------------ Turn to your left from where you start and go up either of the ramps directly ahead of you. Continue up the ramp and go through the doorway into the next area. Once in there, go to either your left or right until you notice a ramp leading up another level and go to the top of the ramp. Shortly after going up the ramp, you will notice a small gap in between the yellow railing on your left. Looking a little closer you will also notice a light fixture directly ahead of that gap. What you will need to do is to transfer from the balcony and land in a grind on the light fixture. Once grinding the light fixture, you will need to jump over two more gaps to get to the next two light fixtures. Upon your second jump-and-grind from light fixture to light fixture, you should have gotten the gap. If not, try it again. Sea Biscuit (700 pts) --------------------- To get this gap, go forward from where you start and transfer from either of the two quarterpipes ahead of you to the other that was ahead of you while executing a trick between them. This would also be how you should have gotten the CD in this level. ======================== 4-2: 11 Grinds [3BOS] ======================== Crescent Grind (1000 pts) ------------------------- Turn to your right when you start the level and go forward until you reach the long quarterpipe. Once there, while at a stop, go up the quarterpipe and go forward to land on a little ledge at the top of the long quarterpipe (if you went to fast, you will fall into the water, so stop and then go up). While looking out on the sea, you will notice a U-shaped rail going out to the sea from the left of the long quarterpipe and coming back on the right of the long quarterpipe. Just grind this rail to get the gap. Planter Grind (900 pts) ----------------------- Turn to your left when you start the level and go up either of the two ramps.

Just grind that section of rope from the dock to the pier, or from the pier to the dock to get the gap. Hook (500 pts) -------------- Turn to your left from where you start and go up either ramp, through the doorway, and into the next area. Continue forward and turn to your left to go around the small wooden spine. While going around the spine, you will notice a place called The Fish Hook. There will be a hook hanging above this place. Now this is the difficult part. It might take you a few tries just to be able to see how to do it, but believe me, you can do it. Once facing the building, you will notice two narrow kickers on each side of the building. This is the tricky part. You need to go up the kicker and to the level ledge in between the two kickers. Now, while staying still, you need to aim your rider for a wallride on the wall that the hook is on and go for the wallride towards the hook. If you are going slow enough, you won't grind the rail above the hook, but the hook itself. If you are grinding the hook, hold that grind for the short distance of the hook and you will get the gap.

Go all the way to the other end of the building and you will notice a medium-sized quarterpipe next to the building (it is actually two small quarterpipes as one). Go up one side of the medium-sized quarterpipe and come down the other end of the medium-sized quarterpipe to get the gap (or up one small quarterpipe and down the other small quarterpipe). Slots O' Luck (500 pts) ----------------------- When you start the level, go forward, jump over the planter or go around it, get into the pool, and continue going forward to the other side. You will notice a purple building called Slots O' Luck. Underneath the sign is a small roll-in going into the pool. To get this gap, transfer up the side of the pool on one side of the roll-in, execute a trick over the roll-in, and come down in the pool on the other side of the roll-in. Shake'm Up Shake's (600 pts) ---------------------------- You will need to do this gap at least three times in this level so I don't think that I need to explain this one, but I will to keep it complete. You need to do this gap when you Roll The Dice, Find the Coaster Tickets, and When you look for the Slot Tokens. When you start the level, go forward, jump over or go around the planter, and cut through the pool area until you get all the way to the other side. You will notice a green building ahead of you call Snake Eye's. There will be a small quarterpipe against the left wall of the building. To get this gap, go up that small quarterpipe, and transfer to your right to another small quarterpipe that is above that one. Insane Street Transfer (6000 pts) --------------------------------- This gap is a little difficult to get, but listen up. Go up and execute the Shake'm up Shake's gap to get onto the top platform of Snake Eye's. Once there, turn around and grind the green roof ledge of Snake Eye's on your left to the end and transfer to the platform ledge on the next building. Now go around the corner of the building, stay on the platform, and notice the small quarterpipe to the right of the Gamble Shack sign. To get the gap, you need to transfer from this small quarterpipe to your left, over the street executing a trick, and come down on the small quarterpipe on the other end of the street (which is next to Ballah's). High Roller!! (2000 pts) ------------------------ Once you start the level take a left and continue down the road until you reach the Vegas Archway that you had to Icepick Grind. To get this gap transfer up the long quarterpipe underneath the archway, over the street executing a trick, and come down on the quarterpipe on the other side of the street. Pool Transfer (500 pts) ----------------------- When you start the level, go forward and jump over the planter or go around it and get into the pool area. Turn around and look behind yourself and you will notice a small roll-in separating the edges of the pool. This will be where you get one of the coaster tickets. To get the gap go up the side of the pool on one end of the small roll-in, transfer over the roll-in executing a trick, and come down the other side of the pool on the other side of the roll-in. ===================== 6-2: Grinds [3LVE] ===================== Martinis (800 pts) ------------------ When you begin the level, go forward and jump over or go around the planter. Then continue forward through the pool area and up to the green Snake Eye's building. Do the Shake'm Up Shake's gap. On the Snake Eye's roof platform look towards where you came from and you will notice a small quarterpipe. Go up the quarterpipe and catch some air. When you come back down notice the green neon pipe on the left hand wall. Grind up that pipe, jump to the next two landing in a grind and hold it so that you can grind on the area where you rolled the dice as a goal. You might have to jump to the next neon green pipe after that, but keep grinding the pipes and jumping until you get down to the bottom. Ahead you will notice a neon sign of a martini on the wall with neon green pipe on it, too. Now you just have to jump before you reach the end of the last pipe and land in a grind on the martini pipe to get the gap. Shot Caller! (1000 pts) ----------------------- When you start the level, turn to your left and go down the street past the Vegas Archway. Continue past the Vegas Archway (not through the archway) until you notice a yellowish white building on your left called Ballah's (in blue). You will notice that there are two steps to the building that go the whole length of the building. Grind the whole stair that is closest to the building to get this gap. Booth Grind (1000 pts) ---------------------- Turn right from your start point and go up the ramp of the platform. At the top of the ramp take a left to the end of that part of the platform. Now take a right, but stop before you get to the top of the ramp ahead going down. You need to jump over the left side of the platform where you are at and land on the building to the left and against the platform. Now go to either side of the edge of the building and grind the edge until you get the gap. Tap the Deck (600 pts) ---------------------- When you start the level, go forward and jump over the planter ahead of you or go around it. Continue forward through the pool area and get to the other side of it. You will notice a green building called Snake Eye's. You will notice a two green steps in front of the building (One long and one small). Grind the length of the small step (which is closest to the building) to get the gap. Ace's High let'em Fly (1000 pts) -------------------------------- Go right from your start point up the platform. Before you reach the top, keeping your speed, jump over the right edge of the platform and you should have landed on a platform above the chapel. Grind that ledge forward and transfer to a grind on the next ledge. Now hold that grind to the end of the ledge to get the gap. Groovy Stall (700 pts) ---------------------- From where you start, take a right down the road past Ace's High. The building afterwards should be Groovy Movie. There will be a small quarterpipe on the left side of the building right against the wall. Go up that quarterpipe and stall on the pipe above it for the gap. Make sure that you use the quarterpipe on the left side of Groovy Movie closest to the street. Schlepp Stall (700 pts) ----------------------- As soon as you begin the level look to your left. You will notice a small quarterpipe against the wall of Schlepp's with a rail above it. Transfer up the small quarterpipe and land in a stall on the pipe above it for the gap. Twenty Inch Blades (1500 pts) ----------------------------- When you start the level, turn to your left and continue down the road past the Vegas Archway. You will notice a yellowish white building called Ballah's (in blue) on your left. Right before the building are three small bowls connected together as one misshapen bowl. Grind the edge of these bowls and hold the grind until you get the gap. East Ring Planter (500 pts) --------------------------- When you start the level go forward and jump over or go around the planter. Continue into the pool area and you will notice a yellow sign ahead and to the right of you with a picture on it that says "Ride the Lightning". This is where you got one of the rings to deliver to the chapel. Grind lengthwise on one of the edges of this planter and you will get the gap. West Ring Planter (500 pts) --------------------------- When you start the level, go forward and jump over or go around the planter. Continue going forward and you will notice a yellow sign that has a picture on it with the phrase "Ride the Lightning" directly ahead of you. This is where you got one of the rings to deliver to the chapel. Grind lengthwise on one of the edges of this planter and you will get the gap. Double Down (1000 pts) ---------------------- This gap will be right next to where you would get the CD in this level. When you start turn to your left and continue along the wall on your left until right before you reach the patio area of the brown casino with the dragons on each side of it. You will need to go up the ramp right next to the dragons and launch onto the platform above the doors of the casino. If you are there, you will notice a quarterpipe next to you with a raised platform with a quarterpipe and a kicker next to that quarterpipe. Transfer up that quarterpipe to the quarterpipe on the raised platform above that one and keeping your speed transfer from the kicker to a raised platform on top of the platform above the patio of the casino. On that platform, grind the line to the top of the RC billboard sign which will be where you get the CD. Now look back at the line you came up on. To get the gap, grind the length of either of the lines from the RC billboard sign to the raised platform at the other end. =============================================== 7: Los Angeles, CA (17 gaps / grinds) [1LAN] =============================================== Some of these gaps will be in the hotel area. You can open this area by doing the "Help Mrs. Van Doodles Find Her Poodles" Semi-Pro Goal. Once you start go forward into the street and turn left down the street. Before you reach the roadblock, take another left down that street. The hotel will be on your right with the doors open. If you haven't done the "Help Mrs. Van Doodles Find Her Poodles" Semi-Pro Goal, you can also get into the hotel, but it isn't as easy. Go forward from your start point, turn left, and continue until you reach the roadblock. Take another left down that road and the hotel will be on your right. Continue forward until you get to the gap after the planters in front of the hotel. Take a right into that area and drop down into the halfpipe there. Go up the halfpipe side you are facing, catch some air, come back down, go up the other end of the halfpipe, catch some air, come back down, and keeping your built up speed, go up the original side at an angle towards your right and land in a grind on the ledge above that side of the halfpipe. Continue to grind the ledge and tap your R1 button to line up with the other ledge and land in a grind on that ledge. Once near the end, there will be no wall on your left. This is when you jump to your left and powerslide with your R1 + Down buttons. You should have made a dead stop. Once on this platform, drop down into the hotel. If you don't land in a grind on the second ledge, but don't fall off of the ledge either, you can just ride the ledge (don't press the left or right direction buttons, but if you do, make sure to also press and hold the triangle button to grind and also powerslide with the R1 + Down buttons after you jump to your left before the platform) and turn left into a platform and drop into the hotel. This tactic is very difficult and can be frustrating, so I will recommend to "Help Mrs. Van Doodles Find Her Poodles" in order to get into the hotel. =================== 7-1: Gaps [2LAN] =================== Hotel Stair Transfer (1500 pts) ------------------------------- This gap is in the hotel. Ride forward from where you start and go left in the street until you reach the roadblock. Then get into the hotel. Once in the hotel look around in the middle of the hotel until you see the stairs. They should be right in front of the doors inside the hotel. When you do see them, you will notice one small quarterpipe on each side of the stairs. Your must transfer from one quarterpipe, over the stairs executing a trick, and come down on the other quarterpipe to get the gap. Brickwall Transfer (800 pts) ---------------------------- Go forward from where you start and get into the road. Turn around and go to the other end of the sculpture. You will notice two small quarterpipes with an awning in between them directly ahead of you (you will need to do a perfect 360 Alley-Oop Can Can over this awning for a goal). You will need to transfer from the left hand quarterpipe, over the wall towards the left executing a trick, and come down the quarterpipe on the other side of the wall to get this gap. (You will be in an area where you get Vanessa, one of the five poodles, and where you start the grind on the white house rail.) Down Hill Street Transfer (2000 pts) ------------------------------------ Go forward from where you start, get into the street, turn around, and go towards the other end of the sculpture. Once there, look to you right and you will see a stairway. Go down those stairs and continue going forward. You will notice that there are two small quarterpipes directly to the left of the hotel on both sides of the street. You need to transfer from one quarterpipe, over the street executing a trick, and come down on the other quarterpipe on the other end of the street to get the gap. EZ Tabletop Gap (300 pts) ------------------------- Go forward from where you start and continue to the area on the other side of the wall. You will notice a stairway with three rails going down it. You will notice that a tabletop is in this area (this is where you would get one of the five cell phones). You need to go up one of the quarterpipes on either side of the tabletop, catch some air, and while coming down, keep your speed and transfer from one end of the tabletop, execute a trick, and come down on the other end of the tabletop to get the gap. Big Air Street Gap (600 pts) ---------------------------- Go forward into the street, turn around, and go to the other side of the sculpture. You will notice two small quarterpipes with an awning in between them (you will need to do a perfect 360 Alley-Oop Can Can over this awning for a goal). Go towards the quarterpipes, but stop right before you reach them. Look to your right and you will notice a narrow alleyway in between two buildings (this is the alley where you would jump from a short ramp to get the CD in this level). Go through the alleyway with some speed, catch some air at the end of the alleyway while executing a trick and you should get this gap. (If you do a trick while getting the CD, you should be able to get this gap also.) Street Light Grind-Gap (1200 pts) --------------------------------- Go into the street once you start. Turn around and go towards the other end of the sculpture. When you get to the other end, turn to your right and you will notice a stairway with a corner quarterpipe on it's right hand side. Between the stairway and the corner quarterpipe is a tongue in the ground. What you will need to do to get the gap is to go off of the tongue, catch some air, and land in a grind on the street light directly in front you or the tongue. Stairway Grind-Gap (1200 pts) ----------------------------- Go forward from where you start and into the street. Go towards the right and into the patio area with two quarterpipes on each side wall after the fountain. Once there, look behind you and to the left to notice the tabletop area (where you would get one of the five cell phones and the EZ Tabletop gap). What you need to do is grind the ledge on the right hand side of the stairway with the three rails, jump over the gap at the end of this ledge, and land in a grind on the ledge of the planter directly ahead of you to get the gap. Hotel Planter Grind-Gap (700 pts) --------------------------------- This gap is in front of the hotel. When you start this level, go forward from where you start and into the street, turn around, and go to the other end of the sculpture. Once there, turn right and go down the stairs, into the street and turn right. The hotel will be on your left hand side. Once at the hotel, you will notice a planter on each side of the doorway of the hotel. You must grind one planter and transfer to the other planter landing in a grind to get the gap. Roadblock Grind-Gap (900 pts) ----------------------------- Get into the street from where you start and go towards the left. You will be going towards a roadblock. What you will need to do is to grind the roadblock and then jump at the end and land in a grind on the ledge right after the roadblock. This gap will work going left or right on the roadblock, but the hard part is landing in a grind on the ledge after the roadblock. Patio Table Transfer (800 pts) ------------------------------ Get into the street once you start, turn around, and go to the other end of the sculpture. You will notice two small quarterpipes with an awning in between them (you will need to do a perfect 360 Alley-Oop Can Can over this awning). What you will need to do is to transfer from the left hand quarterpipe, over the wall, and come down on the quarterpipe on the other side of the wall. This would be the Brick Wall Transfer, but without the trick going over the wall. You will be in the area where Vanessa is sitting at a table and there will be another table there too. What you need to do is to transfer over the other empty table, which is next to the quarterpipe that you came into this area on. Transfer from one quarterpipe, over the patio table while executing a trick, and coming down on the quarterpipe on the other side of the patio table. ===================== 7-2: Grinds [3LAN] ===================== Fountain Crest Grind (700 pts) ------------------------------ Go forward from and go to your forward right towards the fountain. You need to hold a grind around the whole outside of the fountain in order to get the gap. Insane Topside Ledge Pool Stall (2000 pts) ------------------------------------------ Before you begin the level notice the pool on your left. This is your area. Go forward from where you start and go to the pool which will be on your left. Drop into the pool and look to your right. Facing right, go up that edge of the pool, catch some air, come back down, and continue to go up the other side of the pool (when you go up the other side, there will be a building along that edge of the pool). To get the gap, when you go up the other side of the pool, you need to press and hold the triangle button right after the bottom ledge and right before you reach the top ledge to land in a stall. There are two ledges above the pool and you must stall on the top one to get the gap. Pool Grind (1000 pts) --------------------- Before you begin the level, notice the pool on your left. This is where you need to go. Go forward from where you start and go over to the pool. You need to grind from one end of the outside edge of the pool to the other end of the outside edge of the pool to get the gap. Tabletop Ledge Grind (800 pts) ------------------------------ Go forward from where you start and get into the area on the other side of the wall with a stairway with three rails going down it. Once there you will notice a tabletop right next to the wall (you will get one of the five cellphones here) and in between two quarterpipes. What you must do is transfer up from the tabletop to the higher ledge (the one above the wall that is next to the tabletop (it will be the length of the brick next to the wall so time your grind right)) and grind the whole ledge in order to get the gap. Northridge Rail (650 pts) ------------------------- This grind gap is in the hotel. Once in the hotel, you must grind the rail on the opposite side of the doorway. To do this you must get into the center area of the hotel. Look around the area and you will notice a ledge circle around you broken into four parts. Two of the gaps will have a rail in between them. You need to grind the ledge circle that is opposite the stairs. To get the gap, go up one end of the ledge circle going away from the stairs, jump before reaching the rail, land in a grind on the edge of the rail, and hold that grind until the end of the rail. You will receive the gap if you held your grind on the whole rail. Southridge Rail (650 pts) ------------------------- This grind gap is in the hotel. Once in the hotel, you must grind the rail that is above the stairway. In the center of the hotel, look around and you will notice a ledge circle going around you broken into four parts. Two of the gaps will have a rail in between it. You need to grind the ledge circle next to the stairs. To get the gap, go up one side of the ledge circle towards the stairs, jump before you reach the rail, land in a grind on the edge of the rail, and hold that grind until the end of the rail. You will receive the gap if you held your grind on the whole rail. Insane Awning Stall (4200 pts) ------------------------------ This is by far, the most difficult gap in the game. It will take you at least a few tries to be able to get it. Go forward from where you start and get into the street, turn around , and go to the area where you must complete the perfect 360 Alley-Oop Can Can over the awning. Your goal now is to get to the second set of awnings above the one that you must transfer over in order to get that goal. This is difficult because it is so high up there. It will make things a lot easier for you if you catch a lot of speed before going for the stall. I do this by going to the patio area where you get Vanessa and the Patio Table Transfer. I will start on the red brick quarterpipe used for the Patio Table Transfer. I will get major air off of it and with my speed still going, I will go up the small gray quarterpipe not used for the Patio Table Transfer and catch big air off of that one too. Coming down on that quarterpipe I will try to straighten my rider out to go off of the quarterpipe directly across from that one. When I do go off of that quarterpipe, I will do the Brickwall Transfer with big air. When I come down the quarterpipe for it, I will go to the quarterpipe next to that one without making a sharp turn in order to keep all of my built up speed. When you launch off of that quarterpipe, you should be able to get enough air to do your stall. Remember to press and hold the triangle button right before you reach the awning. Remember that this gap will take several tries. It took me about two or three tries the first time, and then about an hour the second time. The things I will try to do for my readers:) ============================================ 8: Portland, OR (23 gaps / grinds) [1POR] ============================================ Some of these gaps will be on the other side of the river that you start on. You can get there by doing the "Bridge the River, Take Down The Old Tree" Semi-Pro Goal. When you start go forward and follow the mountain on your left all the way to the river. Once there, you will need to grind the fallen old tree between the wooden fence and the mountain to the other side of the river. If you haven't done that goal, you can also get to that area. Go forward when you start and grind the wooden fence after the break in it. If you hold that grind you will fall down from that grind onto a grind on the mountain cliff. If you hold that grind, you will fall down onto a grind on another mountain cliff beneath that one. If you hold that grind, you will do the Cliff Grind gap. Near the end of that cliff will be a waterfall. Jump right before you get to the waterfall to get onto a path into the mountain cave. Go forward and right and go onto the path along the cave wall on your right. Follow that path, transfer off of the tongue into the tunnel and follow the tunnel to get to the area. =================== 8-1: Gaps [2POR] =================== Insane Grind Gap (2500 pts) --------------------------- Once you start this level, turn to your left and go down the path downhill bordered by the wooden fence. When you go down the path, you will notice two logs on your left on the ground. The log furthest away from you goes out over the cliff. All that you need to do to get the gap is grind that log the whole way, jump before the end of it, and land down in a grind on the wooden fence ahead of you along the Snow Lodge walkway. Cave Gap (400 pts) ------------------ When you begin, go forward and grind the wooden fence ahead of you. Continue to grind and you will fall down on a grind on a mountain ledge. Continue grinding forward and you will fall down again onto another mountain ledge. If you hold that grind you will get the Cliff Grind gap. Continue forward and jump right before you reach the waterfall and you will be in the mountain cave. Once in the cave, go on the walkway along the wall on your right and follow the path towards the left. You will soon notice a tongue at the end of your path. To get the gap, transfer off of the tongue, execute a trick while in the air, and land down on either the cave floor or in the tunnel ahead of you. I recommend the tunnel ahead of you since you can get the Tunnel Grind gap as well if you grind inside of that tunnel you landed in ahead of the tongue. Mountain Gap (1000 pts) ----------------------- This gap is in the area on the other side of the river. On the other side of the river, follow the mountain inland to a fence. Once you notice the fence, go to the other side of it and go towards your right to the top of the hill. Once there, transfer off of the kicker at the end of the path, execute a trick while in the air, and land down on the other kicker, or if you didn't have enough speed, land down by the billboard U-shaped quarterpipe to get the gap. Dirt Track Transfer (1000 pts) ------------------------------ This gap is in the area on the other side of the river. Once you get to the other side of the river, follow the mountain inland and you will soon notice three medium-sized quarterpipes on your left. To get the gap, transfer from one of the two quarterpipes on your left, execute a trick while in the air, and come down on the other quarterpipe on your left. I don't think that the quarterpipe on the right can be used to get this gap because of extensive tries and incompletions of the gap. It would be difficult anyways because of the trees in front of the quarterpipe. Squirrel Jump (800 pts) ----------------------- When you start the level, look to your left and go down the path going downhill bordered by two wooden fences. The path will lead towards the left. Towards the end of the path, you will notice a dirt kicker. All that you have to do to get the gap is transfer off of the kicker, execute a trick while in the air, and land down on the grass. Insane Cliff Dive! (1000 pts) ----------------------------- When you start, go forward and through the gap in the wooden fence ahead and slightly to the left of you. Continue down that path and you will soon notice a kicker at the end of it. All that you have to do to get the gap is transfer off of the kicker, execute a trick while in the air, and land. This is a prime spot to do the Pro Goal "Do a 540 NoHanded Front Flip". This is where I do it at least. Ski-Lift Gap (800 pts) ---------------------- When you start, get to the Snow Lodge at the bottom of the hill. Once there, go up the rock ramp to the walkway of the Snow Lodge. While looking at the lodge, turn left and head towards the fence while passing the three benches on your left. Once you reach the fence look to your left. You will see that this is the bottom of the ski-lift. To get the gap head along the walkway with a fence on your left and right and the ski-lift on the path and transfer off of the kicker at the end, do a trick while in the air, and land on the platform on the other side with the curving rail and fence on it. Snow Lodge Transfer (600 pts) ----------------------------- Get down to the Snow Lodge at the bottom of the hill. Once there you will see the tree of WOE, a small spine, a longer spine, two small quarterpipes, and the Snow Lodge with its railings, walkways, and benches. To get the gap, go up to the rock ramp in front of the Snow Lodge and transfer up the left or right quarterpipe next to the ramp, go over the ramp executing a trick, and land on the quarterpipe on the opposite side of the ramp. Mountain Spring Gap (400 pts) ----------------------------- When you start the level, go forward and follow the mountain cliff all the way until you reach a river. Once there, go right to follow the river. You will notice that there is a gap in between the wooden fence on your left. Right where the gap is, there will be a spring going into the river from a hole in the rock on your right. To get the gap, jump over the water (going from the rock on your right through the gap in the fence on your left) while executing a trick. Rock Transfer (1500 pts) ------------------------ This gap is at the other side of the river. Once on the other side of the river, take a right after the fence(if your grind the tree) or a left before the fence (if you came from the tunnel) and follow the fence all the way to the end. You will notice near the end on your left, a long quarterpipe, a big rock, and a long U-shaped quarterpipe. The rock will be in between the two quarterpipes. To get the gap, transfer from one quarterpipe, over the rock executing a trick, and come down on the other quarterpipe. ===================== 8-2: Grinds [3POR] ===================== The Hook Up (750 pts) --------------------- When you start this level, go forward until you get to a short rock ledge with a broken wooden fence on it (before the drop). To get the gap, grind the length of the rock ledge with the other half of the broken fence on it before getting to the drop. The Source (850 pts) -------------------- When you start this level go forward until you notice the broken fence and follow the fence and then the mountain forward to the river. Once at the end of the mountain, you will notice a wooden fence directly after it (and the fallen tree if you bridged the river). To get this gap you will need to go right next to the river by going through the gap in between the fence and mountain and grind and hold the grind on the ledge directly next to the river (the ledge and then the river will be on your left) away from the mountain. Cliff Grind (1000 pts) ---------------------- When you start this level, go forward until you reach The Hook Up gap. Grind that rock ledge or wooden fence and hold that grind. You will drop onto the cliff ahead of it, but still hold the grind. After that cliff, you will drop onto yet another cliff and if you are still holding the grind, keep at it and you will get the gap. Tunnel Grind (1000 pts) ----------------------- This gap will be directly after the Cave Gap. When you start, go forward until you reach a wooden fence on top of a ledge. Grind and hold the grind on the fence or ledge. You will drop off of the fence or ledge and land in a grind on a mountain cliff ahead of it. Keep holding that grind and you will drop again onto another cliff ledge. If you hold this grind you will get the Cliff Grind gap. Right before you reach the waterfall on this ledge, jump forward and follow that path to the left into the cave ahead. Then get onto the path along the right cave wall and follow it to a tongue. There will be the tunnel that you will need to grind in directly ahead of the tongue. Transfer from the kicker on the end of the tongue and get into the tunnel. Once in the tunnel, grind the rocky rail in the middle of the tunnel and hold that grind to get the gap. (See Cave Gap also to get info on this gap.) Tree of WOE! (600 pts) ---------------------- The Tree of WOE gap is pretty easy if you know how to get the CD in this level. Go to the wooden fence to the front left of you. Get in between the gap of the two wooden fences. Now you will need to grind the fence to your left (which would be going somewhat downhill). Hold the grind until the end and you will drop from the wooden fence onto a grind on an edge of the rock cliff. Hold the grind on the cliff all the way to the end (you will drop and grind two more times). Right before you reach the end of the cliff, you will need to jump directly ahead (which would be when you get the CD) and land in a grind on the branch of the tree ahead of you (the tree of WOE). To get the gap, you just need to grind the branch of the tree. Water Side Fence Grind (1000 pts) --------------------------------- Once you begin, go forward towards the wooden fence on a short cliff ledge. Continue forward along the mountain on your left until you reach the river. The wooden fence directly next to the mountain and before the mountain spring is the fence that you need to grind to get the gap. Squirrel Haven (1500 pts) ------------------------- This gap is a stall on the Tree of WOE. In order to do this gap, you will need to go down to the Snow Lodge at the bottom of the hill. Once there, go to the right side of the stone ramp leading to the Snow Lodge. Go up the quarterpipe to the right of the ramp, catch some air, come down the quarterpipe, keeping your speed go directly to the spine directly across from the quarterpipe that you went up, and launch up from it, close to the tree of WOE, and stall on the highest broken branch. You will need to bypass the first stall point and go to the second one (the highest branch) to get the gap. The difficulties in this gap is the two stall points and also the length of the branch that you will need to stall on. It isn't really a long branch, so that is why you will need to launch up the spine close to the trunk of the tree to get it. Billboard Grind (800 pts) ------------------------- This gap is in the area on the other side of the river. Once there, continue forward past the three quarterpipes on your left towards the fence after the second quarterpipe (if you grind the fallen tree) or take a right and follow the mountain that you came out of past the three quarterpipes on your left until you get to the fence (if you came from the tunnel). Go around to the other side of the fence and continue forward on the dirt path going uphill. Near the end of the path will be a kicker that you have to go to the right of and get close to the right edge of the path. You will notice a white billboard there. To get the gap grind the length of that billboard. Guard Rail (700 pts) -------------------- Go to the Snow Lodge at the bottom of the hill. Once you are there, look at the lodge. You will notice a billboard separating two lengths of rail. The curving length of rail to the right of the billboard is your goal. You will need to grind just about the whole little length of this rail in order to get the gap. Pipe Grind (500 pts) -------------------- This gap is in the area on the other side of the river. On the other side of the river, take a right after the fence on your right (if you grind the fallen tree) or a left before the fence (if you took the tunnel) until you reach the area of the U-shaped quarterpipe underneath the billboard. To get the gap grind the U-shaped quarterpipe. Small Stall (500 pts) --------------------- This stall gap is in the area on the other side of the river. On the other side, turn right after the fence and continue forward (if you grind the fallen tree) or take a left and continue forward once out of the tunnel (if you took the tunnel) until you reach the area with the U-shaped quarterpipe and the billboard above it on your left. You will be facing a small quarterpipe with a rail above it. To get the gap, you just need to go up the quarterpipe and stall on the pipe right above it. Mid-Section Grind (500 pts) --------------------------- When you begin go to the Snow Lodge at the bottom of the hill. Once there go to the side of the lodge where the river is at. Go on the dirt path on that side of the platform. Look towards the river. You will see three sections of quarterpipes separated by two small roll-ins. To get the gap grind the edge of the middle quarterpipe. Cliff Stall (700 pts) --------------------- This gap is in the area on the other side of the river. Once there, look to your left (if you grind the fallen tree) or continue forward a short distance and look right (if you took the tunnel) and you will notice a quarterpipe up against the mountain. To get this gap, go up the quarterpipe and land in a stall on the cliff directly above it and hold the stall. ====================================== 9: Tiki Park, HI (18 grinds) [1TIK] ====================================== ===================== 9-1: Grinds [2TIK] ===================== High Rail Stall (2000 pts) -------------------------- When you begin the level go forward all the way into a pool and then continue to the ground on the other end of the pool. Continue forward, down a roll-in and up the piece of long quarterpipe directly ahead of you. To get the gap, once you go up the piece of long quarterpipe ahead of you, land in a stall on the rail above it (which will be higher than the two on either side of it). Mirage Grind (1000 pts) ----------------------- When you begin the level, turn left and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. Then transfer to the left from the top of the roll-in of the Upper Lip Splitter gap to the ground below. You should be in the general vicinity of this gap (you will see a circular planter with a palm tree growing out of it) and the Wave Grind gap. If you followed my directions and you are not on the ground of these gaps, continue down the ramp, take a right afterwards, go a short distance, and then turn right again. You should see a circular cove with a rail inside it and also a planter with a palmtree. To get the gap, grind around the circular planter. Wave Grind (2000 pts) --------------------- This gap is right next to the Mirage Grind gap. If you don't know how to get there, read the directions for the Mirage Grind gap. When you are in this area, face the circular cove and you will see a rail going along the cove. To get this gap grind and hold the grind on the rail on the inside right of the cove. Upper Lip Splitter (4200 pts) ----------------------------- When you begin the level, face left and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. You will see a track that you can take.

Lower Lip Splitter (3000 pts) ----------------------------- When you begin the level, face left and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. You will see a track that you can take. Go up the hump slightly, and if you prefer, you can do the Upper Lip Splitter gap and jump and land in a grind on the track after it, and if you hold the grind until the end of the track, you will get the gap. You can also just ride down the track of the Upper Lip Splitter and jump and land in a grind on the edge of the track after it. If you hold your grind until the end of the track, you will get the gap. Spiraling Spirit Grind (20000 pts) ---------------------------------- Go forward from the start down to the pool and up and over the other side of the pool. Continue down the roll-in and take a left. Continue ahead and up the path on your right that you will notice once you are nearing a wall ahead of you. At the top of this path you will need to start and hold a grind on either of the two ledges that will border a long slide ahead of you that will twist like a slinky all the way down to the ground. You will need to hold this grind for a very, very long time, but if you do it you will get all those points and the gap. Tail-Thrasher (10000 pts) ------------------------- When you begin the level, face right and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. You will see two tracks that you can take.

Then go right and follow the wall on your left to a quarterpipe you will notice ahead of yourself once you get to the bottom of the path. Don't go up that quarterpipe, but the quarterpipe that is to the right of it and behind it. You need to transfer forward from the lip of that quarterpipe to the quarterpipe that will be behind it. Go forward a short distance and then look behind yourself. You will notice two quarterpipes, one along the wall and one to the left of and behind that one. To get the gap you need to transfer up the quarterpipe along the right wall and stall on the ledge directly above it. Emerald Reef Grind (1000 pts) ----------------------------- Go forward from your starting point to get to the pool and continue to the other side of the pool. Then go up and over that side. Continue forward, going down the small roll-in, and go right following the short wall on your right. Turn right once there is a space for you to turn right. Along the right wall will be a planter with two kickers on it, one on either side. To get this gap, you need to go up one kicker, grind the planter to the end, and come down the other kicker. Fluke Grind (1000 pts) ---------------------- When you begin the level, face right and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. Continue forward right to get to the wall of the level. Follow that wall to the left, down the ramp, until you get to a turn in the ramp with a semi-bowl. This will be halfway down the path from the top part of the level to the bottom part of the level. When you get to this area, jump over the short wall on the left side of the path and then face left so that the wall is on your left. Ahead you will see a rail along the left wall. To get the gap, just hold a grind on that length of rail. Flame Tongue Grind (6000 pts) ----------------------------- When you begin the level, face right and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl.

Then go to the right or left of the kickers that will be next to the quarterpipe that you noticed earlier. To get the gap, transfer from the kicker to a grind you must hold on the quarterpipe ahead of it and come down the other kicker. Oasis Stall (1500 pts) ---------------------- When you begin the level, go forward all the way into the pool ahead and continue to the ground on the other side of the pool. Continue down the roll-in directly ahead of it and turn left right after that. You will notice a lone quarterpipe with a rail above it. To get the gap, transfer up the quarterpipe and land in a stall on the rail above it. Lava Lip Grind (1000 pts) ------------------------- Go forward once you start the level, drop into the pool, and then come out on the other side of the pool. Continue ahead down the roll-in and take a left. Follow the wall on your right all the way up to the top of this path. At the top, there will be a really short wall on your left. To get the gap, you need to hold a grind for the distance of that short rail going downhill. Eastern Wind Grind (1200 pts) ----------------------------- Go forward when you begin the level into the pool ahead and then to the ground on the other end of the pool. Ride to your right following the wall on your left. You will notice a shallow pool with a tunnel with two rails in it right next to the pool.

You can also do this gap the other way, just substitute right for left. North Ridge Stall (2200 pts) ---------------------------- When you begin the level turn to your left and go up and over the lip of the semi-bowl. Then ride to your left until you get to the wall and turn right and follow the wall all the way down a path to the bottom. You will notice a quarterpipe at the end of the path. To get the gap, you need to go up the quarterpipe and land in a stall on the ledge directly above the quarterpipe, not the top ledge of the quarterpipe itself. =================== 10: Special Thanks =================== First, I would like to thank my girlfriend for buying me the Playstation 2, a wireless controller, and "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2" for Playstation 2. Without these, I would not have been able to write this walkthru. Second, I would like to thank all of the people that helped me to create this walkthru. My girlfriend helped me to list all of the gaps for each level, helped with the point values for each gap, and put up with my lengthily gameplay. All others, read through my walkthru and helped me to fix the messages that I was trying to send to the readers and made sure that most people would be able to understand and complete the things that I described. Third, I would like to thank Sony for their many great products that I have bought, and for creating and producing the Playstation 2 since it doesn't even compare to its predecessor, Playstation One. Fourth, I would like to thank Activision for creating "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2" for the Playstation 2 console, and also for all their other video games that I enjoy. Next, I would like to thank you, the reader, for reading and / or looking at my walkthru and buying "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2". Finally, I would like to thank GameFAQs for their suggestions and help concerning writing a FAQ, for all of their posted FAQs, and for building up their fanbase and contributor pool. Without their fanbase or contributor pool, some of us would be quite lost in some of our games and also would not be able to obtain our cheats and / or FAQ's.
