The number of times I pushed out varials or shuv-its trying to do the nollie 360 flip for that p-rod challenge, which is essentially the opposite movement to the one above. The way I found to get it to come out was to push to (using the above clock as reference) 11 when I got to what felt like 5, rather than to 6, which usually resulted in the same effect as rolling it around the outside.

Well after what seems like over 1000 attempts i finally cracked it

Your advice was spot on , the only thing i was getting wrong was i wasn't letting go off the right thumbstick causing me to land in the wrong grind more often than not.

Excellent advice Charles

I totally discovered that you can get up on to the matrix bit without using the lift. The enormous external butresses - one of them you can make the jump up on to it and just ride up. No need for the lift. Of course now that you've unlocked it, you can just use the lift.

[charlesr]

Ah babs, yeah that's excellent advice. A fraction past 6 (or 12) and suddenly you are shuving instead.

I still havn't done it yet!!

How many pushes are you using for your run up?

Heres the angle, pushes u need, & how far away:

EDIT: Oh ****, sorry mate I see you've already done it. Well done.

Gotta say that I'm really enjoying the career mode as well as online. I've just got a handful of film challenges left and every challenge has been spot on.

Not really had too many problems with any of the challenges and I'd say that the game is quite easy once you've got the hang of the control system.

I feel a lot more comfortable with vert challenges than I do with street skating, but enjoy both the same.

Still haven't been able to link my GT on EA's useless Skate website though!

[babs]

The website is totally shagged at the moment, I've been trying to do the same. I uploaded my first clip last night and didn't get an email with the link, and have been trying in vain all day to link my GT and get pages to work reliably.

Do you get the X Games after you get on teh mag cover ooi?

[Yoshimax]

I need to play this more it has suffered at the hands of Halo and PGR...

[charlesr]

Do you get the X Games after you get on teh mag cover ooi?

There are two mag covers. Skate and Thrasher, each with its own challenges (press Y to switch between the two whilst looking at the map, or see the colour of the film challenges change while you are flicking through them with RB). Finishing the Thrasher challenges unlocks the X games arena challenges (complete to unlock the arena fully). Finishing the Skate mag challenges unlocks the Mega Center challenges.

[Swallow]

Oh ta Charles, barely started the Thrasher challenges.

Has anyone elses crashed/frozen up?
Mine freezes quite a bit at the mo. Maybe once every day or so when I'm viewing a saved replay & just now it happened when I went to do a filming challenge. It just froze as I pressed Y to start it.

[charlesr]

Mines frozen a couple of times while trying to save replays. And a few other times during game boot. The disc ticks and I get scared. Sometimes it eventually loads. I have the US version. I think it might be on that replacement programme list.

[razu]

Mine started going very slowly in the shop today. Items took 30 seconds or so to load. Hope it's the game and not my 360, only just got it back from MS.

[helicon2]

Mine has frozen a few times but usually only when saving/loading replays. UK version here.
