Tony Hawk's Project 8/Hints and tips

Huge Combos
The three main ways to get big points are as follows:

Grinds Try to do as many combinations as possible when on a grind.

Lips Try to do as many combinations as possible when inverting or stalling on a QP.

Manuals Try to do as many combinations as possible when in a manual.

However these on their own would not get huge combos. You have to combine them to get a bigger combo.

The one place where you can combine these three techniques is a bowl. This is an effective way to gain huge points:


 * 1) Get speed in a bowl then air into a "Nail the Trick".
 * 2) Try to score about 20,000 points from a "Nail the Trick".
 * 3) When landing back on the bowl pull the right trigger to revert and the manual.
 * 4) You will have enough speed to do another "Nail the Trick".
 * 5) Continue this until you do not have enough speed to carry on. Instead of jumping ot of the quarter pipe, get into an invert and hit as many combinations before it gets too hard to balance.
 * 6) Ollie out of the invert and get into another manual by inverting at thr bottom of the quarter pipe.
 * 7) Ollie out of manual and press RB + LB to get off your board. You are still in a combo but have limited time so move quickly and jump onto the coping pressing Y to get into a grind.
 * 8) Try to get as many grind combinations in before jumping back intothe quarter pipe nad reverting to maunual.
 * 9) Now try to get in as many manual combinations before ollieing (A) back out of manual and pressing RB + Lb to get of you board.
 * 10) To end you huge combo caveman (RB + LB)and hope for the best.

This is probably not the best way to get a high combo but it works for me. The highest combo I have got with it has been 2 million but im sure you can get higher if you practice.
