To do the same ground trick over again, do a ground trick then do a different trick. Before the second trick is listed (the one you just entered), do the first trick's combination. You should see your tricks at the bottom go towards you and back. Then repeat, but this time with the same trick listed before. Note: You have to do this quickly.
Random tricks on ground in place
While doing a nose manual or manual, press [B], [Y], or [X]. Quickly press a different button ( [B], [Y], or [X] ). Continue doing this and your skater will do some "tricks" on the ground in place. For example, you could use this pattern: [B], [Y], [X], [B], [X], [Y], [X], [B], [Y], [X], [Y], [X], [B], etc. There are many combinations.

Hidden combo grinds
While doing one of the following grinds, without Ollieing off press one of the combos to do a "hidden grind combo". Grind combos can transfer from move to move multiple times so there is no need to get off a rail unless you want to completely change grind sets from top set to bottom set. All of the grind moves are done from the up or forward position (skater leaning forward while grinding or sliding), and the down or backwards position (skater is leaning backwards while sliding or grinding).
For example:
5050 to 5-0: Press [Down] + [Y].
5050 to Nose Grind: Press [Up] + [Y].
These are the two necessary positions from the 50-50 or possible without the 50-50. You cannot transfer back to the 50-50, 5-0, or Nose Grind doing these combos.
During these two sets, you can transfer from any of the moves to any other of the moves in the same set, but cannot use specials or to root moves (5-0, Nose Grind, and 50-50) without Ollieing off the grind.
The up set contains the following.
Nose Grind (Root): Impossible.
Nose Bluntslide: Press [Up], [Up] + [Y].
Crooked Grind: Press [Up], [Down] + [Y].
Overcrook: Press [X] + [X].
Nose Slide: Press [B] + [B].
The down set contains the following:
5-0 Grind (Root): Impossible.
Bluntslide: Press [Down], [Down] + [Y].
Smith: Press [Down], [Up] + [Y].
Feeble: Press [X] + [X].
Tailslide: Press [B] + [B].
There are also some special grinds from both sets, but there are too many to list. They can be revealed, depending on which moves you use.
Rodeo Clown: Keep board spinning
When doing the Rodeo Clown trick, hold [X] and the board will continue to spin.
Flip into a pool
Select any character with the "Handstand 360 Hand Flip" (manual) special. Choose a location with a pool, but not surrounded by many objects. Gain speed, do the manual special, and head straight into the pool. Do not jump into it.
Pizza Guy: Twirling skateboard
Hold [X] while doing the Pizza Guy and your skater will twirl the skateboard as if it were a piece of pizza.
Airport level: Baggage check
Immediately when you start the level, go to the right and ollie into the place where you usually check your bags to get on an airplane. It will lead you to a location with a helicopter. To leave, either go backwards or down the staircase.
Airport level: Extra points
Use the following steps for an easy way to get over a million points in a trick. Skate down to the baggage claim area. From there, go to the left side and grind up the far left escalator rail. Let yourself grind up and slide back down. Once you slide back down, jump to the next rail and so on. If done properly, the rails form a continuous loop as long as you can stay balanced. Special grinds help a lot.
At the start of the level there are the two little walkways. When you jump from one walkway bar to another while grinding you will get huge points. Do this four or five times before the walkway ends and you may get 50,000 easy points. If you manual to the next walkway and continue the same thing you can get at least 150,000 points.
Grind the circular baggage return with or without the "Perfect balance" code enabled to get extra points.
Airport level: Get the tickets to your skater pal
As soon as you start, go to the left and grind the information desk where you would get tickets. Then, go to the skater pal and run into him.
Airport level: Hidden message
Look at the scrolling text ticker above the baggage claim. The message "Noel owes me 5000 bucks" will be scrolling on the ticker.
Canada level: Hidden path
When you are going up to the broken railroad tracks (where you would find the secret tape) instead of turning right; go left. You will follow the track and then some electrical wires and end up at the beginning.
Canada level: Totem pole gap
On the far right from the start of the level is a totem pole. Grind its arms until you get to his head to make it fall off to find a gap.
