Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Big Smoke

Prerequisites
Location: CJ's house, Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos

Walkthrough
Unlike previous games in the Grand Theft Auto series, this first mission can actually be quite tricky, since it is quite possible to die, if you are not careful.

During the cut-scene, you go with Big Smoke to the graveyard where you meet your sister, Kendl and your brother, Sweet. As you are leaving, you are attacked by the Ballas (a sworn enemy gang).

When you regain control, hop on the BMX marked with a blue arrow (you have to use this vehicle), and keep close to Sweet. The Ballas will try to shoot you as you are cycling, but should you have acquired a sufficient amount of firepower, you can destroy the enemy car. You cannot pull the Ballas out of the car by attempting to jack the vehicle.

Eventually you will stop in a clearing under the Mulholland Intersection, and Sweet will split from you to draw away the Ballas. Follow Ryder back to your house to complete the mission. Don't worry if you fall behind; he will wait for you until you catch up. You fail this mission if you get Wasted, or somehow trash your BMX (e.g. by cycling it into water).
