Hehe, a lot of time I can find nearby hills or different ways to get more speed than the average NPC, but sometimes I utilize the speed glitch- a little-known trick used to gain and maintain ridiculous amounts of speed on hills or flat.. even starting from a dead stop.. so the whole "3 pushes is all you need" phrase that you see on skate. loading screens isn't true really .. truth is you don't need to push at all, ever- unless you're going uphill; but the glitch sometimes works uphill also, provided it's a mellow uphill climb.. err skate.

Here's how to do the speed glitch (one way):
Nollie + nosemanual + when land in nose manual tap up on left stick (to bend your knees) before you nollie into another nose manual.. and repeat until satisfied with speed.

A lot more people know of the glitch nowadays though, because people blab.. but that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it is, after all a video game, and secrets should be shared, so consider me one of those blabbermouths =)

But no, as far as I know- the only person i've heard of who has ever "hacked the games configuration file", is one of his ex-BKS teammates (rofl @ In N Out for saying that) - In other words, no one has modded skate. to the best of my knowledge, which is up there as far as knowing things about skate.. no cockiness when saying that.
