its at the cost of any gameshared dlc - if (like me) you lost your friends password.. your screwed. this method makes you have no limits, pretty much. BUT your gonna have to make sure that:
a) you have used no DLC pieces
b) your not merging DLC pieces
so i would mess with it and plan out what your gonna do, its a lot easier and works a lot more ways but theres this big cost right. <--

unfortunately i have no clue how to do this for xbox as im a rich snob.. jk

ps3 menu --> GAME DATA utility --> Skate 3 DLC (Triangle) --> Delete --> play game --> DONT INSTALL UPDATE.. install game data --> make park --> put prop on a pad at desired angle --> make another pad and simply drag it down into the prop from above the prop, i think it has to be bigger than the prop im not sure

well worth the 5 mins if you ask me, make sure you know what you want to make and build your parks around it. sorry xbox people.

For a tip i say that u should always try to put flow into your parks (where u can go from one piece to the next without a getting off the board or slowing down or around the whole park

That sounds awesome but complicated; I haven't made backups of anything on my PS3 and don't want to go deleting things and potentially losing my boring-ass half made skate parks. That's a lot easier than "make pad, put blocking bodies in, make new pad, make pad above, turn everything upside down, wonder where the hell your shopping cart disappeared to" though.

no. you wont lose anything andits not complicatedat all, just delete game data called 'DLC', nothing needs to be backed up, your save data is not affected at all! your character will be reset if you have dlc on him, thats it.

Been waiting to post about this until I got the video made, but I made a working ladder. I posted pictures in my park thread a bit ago, but I'll post here incase people haven't seen it.



Footage @ 1:50


2 catwalk supports with 8 dlc bent poles, about thigh-height between each of them. The whole thing is tilted @ about a 85* angle.

ive seen a few ladders, but they were at pretty good angles in all fairness, yours is best i think

my tips:
yeah none of you bitches have seen a tidy park from me in centuries, lets just say im a whole lot better now, but heres the rules i stick to

1. drink monster, monster help y'all minds wonder like lonely sheep in a desert wasteland. this will actually help you to find real life insprirations because your brain will go into overdrive so with all the thoughts your getting some of them have gotta be about skating right, you see a spot and youll know it like shit if your drunk/high/hyper! only problem is you might forget, thats what iphone notes are for! (also stops you wanting to give up on your parks when your more active) *phew* that was a long one

2. keep blueprints/drawings of your real-life/adapted/stolen (stealing from other creators is good, anyone will agree) spots so that you know exactly what your doing

3. if you fail at merging pieces and get the red border for no reason, use the above downgrade method to make it the way you want (considering DLC of course)

4. STUFF THE TURKEY (sick bastards!) literally cram all of your creative juice into each and every spot and dont leave blanks like ive done in the past, think what could be leaning against your wall, taking up some space&adding in some detail, and what could be in the distance, coz even backgrounds help with park making - e.g. i tend to use scaffolding, unique planters, random scenery (waterfalls n' shit) and suitable props

5. (MOST IMPORTANT) consider your chosen colours and behold your creation

for a full-sized park using my spot inspiration method ^ you need about 5 good realistic spots, and a hella lotta scenery to make-your-break-through, rather than making everything 100% skateable, because reality is much better than fantasy, i've learned that from the best.

seeing so may cool ideas and a lot of great tips in this thread!
