Van's Skate Park: Electrocution
Go around to where the sign that says to dismount is located. There is a electrical box that serves as a ramp. Climb up to the top and get off your board. There is a pole on top that you can see electricity flowing through. Hit it with your board and you will see your character get shocked, and you will restart on the ground.

Avoiding crashes
When you do a trick off a ramp into the air, and if it appears that you are going to crash, press RB to get off your skateboard while still in the air. You should land safely on your feet.

Switch off board
While standing, tap x2 and your character will switch his board to the other hand.

Bike tricks
While on your bike you can do tricks that you have not learned yet any time.

Flames and sparks without the cheat
Do a Primo Handstand. When your skater is doing the handstand, immediately press . He will land the trick and there should be flames/sparks coming from his board. Note: This may require a few attempts. Also, you cannot do grinds, grabs, or anything to do with airing out of a half pipe.

Das Oath-Awesome R***
To hear a very small portion of Awesome R***, play Dead Kennedys-Uber Alles. Wait a few seconds after the track is finished. You should hear about a half a second of the introduction.
