Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Cheats and Bonus Skaters (DS)

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is the ninth game in the main series (even though there are three more games that are considered side-games) which was developed by Vicarious Visions for the Nintendo DS console (there were many game developers for the several consoles Tony Hawk's Proving Ground got released on).

Although the game as a whole was received with mixed reviews, the Nintendo DS version was generally accompanied by favorable reviews. One of the first things you would see in a Tony Hawk's game is the incredible soundtrack. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground remains the same when it comes to songs, offering about 60 full tunes to skate on.

There are a few bonus skaters you can unlock (listed below), as well as famous names such as Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Nyjah Huston, Arto Saari, Ryan Sheckler, Stevie Williams (the career skaters) and so on.
