    Hey guys,

    I have played the game a bit more and have unlocked China Banks. Its getting a bit difficult hahaha

    So I decided to just freeskate around like i would in EA Skate, then remembered that there was an expert mode. So I turned that on. What does it do? I can't notice anything different

    You sure its on? You should be getting sloppy landings all over the place and have to use the catch button.

    Hm, maybe it wasn't on. I will go back and try again a bit later.

    As for the best skateboarding game before skate, in my opinion that it is Tony Hawk 2. Thrasher's campaign mode isn't fun in my opinion, and it is rife with weird glitches. Although, as far as realistic freeskate goes, thrasher is definitely the best for that before Skate came out from what I can tell.

    Also, when do you unlock the manual? Every once in a while I will be skating around there will be a perfect obstacle to nose manual (as my Skate instincts tell me). But I don't have it. Or do I? :S

    Not sure man. I didn't actually beat the game. Just used cheats to unlock everything, switched to hardcore mode, saved, and never looked back. It's all about the freeskate anyway. There's a trick list in the pause menu. Sadly you dont balance manuals in this game though, the one thing it's missing from the Dave Mirra engine.

    If I'm not mistaken, only one or two characters can unlock the manual. I'm not positive on that though. I'm pretty positive the blonde hair dude can't do it though.

    Everybody gets one exclusive trick.

    The manual is available to everybody.

    L1 + square + up or down.

    As far as characters go, I'm always Scab. I think that's his name, with the brown shirt. He has the worst "technique" which through trial and error I've discovered it affects the difference between your lowest pop and full pop. He also can't land some tricks on flat which I like.

    I love Scab but he pushes way too fast for me to deal with.
