Use the trigger instead of the stick, it's much easier.

If your still having problems, try and record what your doing in game and upload it to the skate real, then we'll try and see what your doing.

Press the trigger quickly while on the curved part of the ramp.

Andr3w · 26 Feb 2009 at 13:38

That's when you release the trigger isn't it?

I'm not sure what your expecting to happen. :confused:

The character will stand up, and you'll gain a little speed from it.

But it shouldn't be essential to get a decent amount of points. Try recording a section, then uploading it to the skate reel so we can see what your doing.

Ok,

Get moving towards the vert ramp, once you hit the curve, center the left stick, and momentarily press one of the triggers then let go. As you are landing, hit the trigger again then let go and repeat on the other side of the ramp.

Keep this up and you get some decent air. Some ramps will naturally send you off the end though.

To make it easier just start off doing the pumps on the way up the ramp. You don't need to do it on the way down as well but it does help to add that when you are comfortable

Yeah I meant press and release 'quickly'

Andr3w · 26 Feb 2009 at 15:41

Do it do it while coming DOWN the ramp or while trying to go up it?

I do it for both.

Hold down a trigger on the way to a ramp, release it when I'm about halfway through the transfer. Then on the way down, pull the trigger when I'm about halfway through the transfer and keep it held down on the way to the next pipe.

Although it does seem that everyone in this thread does it differently.

When i hold the trigge he just grabs his board lol

monkeyspank · 26 Feb 2009 at 15:56

It's the act of crouching and standing that produces the extra speed, so holding the board doesn't matter, provided you get the timing right.

ohh i think it worked

\o/

This might sound stupid but how did you get enough speed to even attempt that air over the dam? Is there a drop-in point that i haven't noticed?

I really want to have a go at clearing the dam lip

There is a spawn point called Murderhorn i think. You have to complete some of the game first to get it tho.

I was actually trying to air it and ended up manualing it lol. Its hard to get the pop to air it

Took me ages to do that grind up stairs to manual to grind down lol.

Think im gonna have a pop on now and try some stuff

ZG002 · 26 Feb 2009 at 20:33

couple more lil vids at the dam

Just bought the first DLC (fun factory or whatever it's called)

Don't think it's worth it really, pretty boring, mostly empty area with 3/4 video challenges, 5 own the spots and one competition. Completed it in about 20-30 mins and I can't see myself going back to it much.

Anyone got the classic DLC yet? Would be interested to know how much they've changed the areas.

Maxeh · 28 Feb 2009 at 00:13

I downloaded both the DLC and I'm really enjoying it, bit steep at 400 points each but a nice change. Classic pack is all new to me as I didn't play Skate.
