Sponsor Challenges

To increase your skating abilities, you must earn stat points. Stat points are awarded in the story through Sponsor Challenges. These challenges can be found at the skate shops located throughout the city. If you choose to accept these challenges, you’ll need to complete them within one day (game time) of accepting them. Once you have completed a challenge, you’ll be awarded stat points to increase your abilities.

Tagging Spots

There are graffiti artists located throughout the city who can help you with your tagging skills. To locate one of these artists, look for the characters with the spray paint can floating above their heads. Walk up to these charactersand talk to them. You’ll then be able to customize your tag as you would normally through the Create-A-Graphic editor.

Inspiration Spots (Create-A-Trick)

If you feel like being creative and inventing your own skate tricks, find an inspiration spot located throughout the city that allows you to use the trick editor in-game as you normally would through Create-A-Trick. Find an inspiration spot and press the button to start the trick editor.

View Missions

At any time during the story, you can visit the Pause menu and select View Missions. The View Missions screens show you which missions are available to you, and which Sponsor Challenges are currently active for you to complete. Get more information by selecting the mission viewing the details of that mission.
