While some of these have changed since the past, they're mostly the same. Use the following combinations to enhance your skating skills. Table Of Contents ----------------- Section A: Grinds Section B: Board Stalls Section C: Freestyle Moves Section D: Inverts & Stalls Section E: Natas Spins Section F: Credits Section G: Legal Stuff Revision Notes -------------- 1.0 First document -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-= A: Grinds =-=-=-=-=-= Once you initiate a grind, you can switch into several other grinds by pressing the button combinations below. INPUT GRIND ----- ----- Flip, Flip Smith Flip, Grind Tailslide Flip, Grab 5-0 Grab, Grab Crooked Grab, Flip Bluntslide Grind, Grind 50-50 Grind, Flip Noseslide Grind, Grab Nosegrind =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= B: Board Stalls =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Grind stalls are different from regular grinds in that you're not moving. These are similar to stall lip tricks, but aren't initated the same way. Skate up to any grindable surface and hold R2/C + Grind. Then, combo into the following with the button combinations listed below. INPUT STALL ----- ----- Flip, Flip Smith Stall Flip, Grind Tail Stall Flip, Grab 5-0 Stall Grab, Grab Crooked Grab, Flip Bluntslide Grind, Grind 50-50 Grind, Flip Nose/Tail Stall Grind, Grab Nosegrind Stall =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- C: Freestyle Moves =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- By initiating a manual, a special manual move or any other flatland trick, you can combo into the following freestyle (flatland) tricks. Use the input on the left to intiate the move in the 2nd column. Each trick has its own sub-trick that is performed by pressing Flip, Flip. All the moves in the 3rd column are performed by pressing Flip, Flip while executing a move in the middle column. Got it? INPUT TRICK SUB-MOVE (flip,flip) ----- ----- -------------------- Flip, Flip Half Cab Impossible 360 Fingerflip Flip, Grab Anti Casper Anti Casper Flip Flip, Grind Casper Casper Flip Grab, Grab Handstand Handflip Grab, Flip To Rail Rail Flip Grab, Grind One Foot (Nose) Manual Half Cab Impossible (*) Grind, Grind Pogo Wrap Around Grind, Flip Truckstand Truckstand Flip Pogo to Hair Flip (*) Grind, Grab Switch Foot Pogo Half Wrap tuck Transfer Left, Right, Flip Spacewalk 360 Finger Flip Note: ---- The Pogo to Hair Flip can only be done by pressing Grab, Grab while doing a Truckstand. You will perform a One Foot Manual or One Foot Nose Manual depending on your stance. Then, you will either go into a Half Cab Impossible or a 360 Fingerflip. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D: Inverts & Stalls =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If you don't know how to do an invert or stall, check the edit tricks section. Starting with any Invert or Stall, you can combo into another invert/stall by pressing a combination of 2 buttons. You cannot combo into the same move. If you do an invert, tapping Grind, Grind won't produce another invert. You can only combo into these moves from a separate move. INPUT INVERT STALL ----- ------ ----- Flip, Flip Disaster One Foot Invert Flip, Grab Rock to Fakie Eggplant Flip, Grind n/a n/a Grab, Grab Axle Stall Gymnast Plant Grab, Flip BS Boneless Varial Invert to Fakie Grab, Grind n/a n/a Grind, Grind FS Noseblunt Invert Grind, Flip FS Nosepick The Switcheroo Grind, Grab Blunt to Fakie Andrecht Invert =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- E: Natas Spins =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Elaborating on the Natas Spin introduced in THUG 2, this move can now be linked to other tricks. Much like the systems above, pressing a combination of 2 buttons will allow this. You cannot combo into the same move. To initiate a Natas Spin, press L1 or C + grind on top of a pole, hydrant, etc. INPUT SPIN ----- ---- Flip, Flip One Foot Spin Grab, Grab Handstand Spin Grind, Grind L Spin =-=-=-=-=-=- F: Credits =-=-=-=-=-=- I went through the game myself in getting this info.
