Tony Hawk's Project 8 Hints (PS3)

Tony Hawk's Project 8, also known as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 8, but officially abbreviated as THP8, is the eighth installment in the Tony Hawk's Series. It was released on sixth-generation (Playstation 2 & Xbox) and seventh-generation consoles (Xbox 360 & Playstation 3), and is a completely different game from its Wii counterpart, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. The name Project 8 refers to the Project 8 competition featured in the storyline, and because this is the eighth game in the "Tony Hawk" series.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Downtown: Easy Stokens

Stall on a car that is moving and ride it all through town. Jump off when you are about to fall. You will get a lot of Stokens. Do not stall on the front of the car because it will stop.

Start at the entrance where the cars first enter. When the cars come through, hold Up until you are skitching. Ride around on that car until it goes around the city and starts to get near the entrance again. Jump off before you get to close to the entrance. Do not go through the entrance or the Stokens will not count. After that you should get a lot of Stokens.

Fun Park: Easy Stokens

Grind the roller coaster around for awhile to get a lot of Stokens. Note: Do not fall or get hit by the roller coaster train.

Skate over to the large roller coaster. Enter at the entrance of the roller coaster skating in the opposite direction of the cart. Fully skate the roller coaster jumping over the cart when it comes around and land at the beginning of coaster entrance. Do not fall. Land it to get a few hundred Stokens.

Fun Park: Grind challenge

To achieve Sick without any Ollies, grind in the same direction of the cart. You will be in the middle of the track and you will get the message "Land For SICK Level."

High School: Easy Stokens

After you drain the drainage ditch, Natas Spin on the crank near the building that is close to a pedestrian. When you jump off you will get Stokens. A fifteen-second spin will result in 250 Stokens.

Hill Top: Easy manual experience

There is a slope where you can manual down to get a lot of manual experience easily. The slope is a road and when you look down it, you should see a building with a "COME AGAIN!" sign on it. There is a spot challenge at the start of the slope. If you start it, you can try to manual all the way down. Do not worry about hitting all the spots or anything else. To get easy experience, just go down the hill as far as possible. When you get to the bottom, instead of going up, just restart your last goal. You will be on the spot challenge again at the top of the hill. From there you can manual down again and repeat this as many times as desired for lots of experience, fast.

School: Play piano

Find the awning painted like a piano near Nyja Houston. Grind it and it will make piano sounds.

Easy air stats

Play the first part of Bob B's Pro Challenge. When you are falling through the air it counts towards your air stats. Just start the mission and begin flying through the air. Allow the game to idle like this, because it continuously resets the mission and when you do not perform all of the tricks and hit the ground, it just puts you straight to the top and never stops.

Higher jumps

Go up to a guard while off your skateboard and jump a few times over him. Sometimes, you will get an extra boost in the air. With this, you can get to a place that you cannot normally jump to. You can hit a guard and make him chase you to the slums. In the lot in front of the Jeep Factory is a hidden spot icon. Hop the guard and collect it.

Here's are some in-game tricks:
