Key characters
Tony Hawk
Tony's original starting setup favors aerial skating. Use the Edit Tricks screen to inspect his specials, including The 900, then practice the input with the Special meter charged.

Rodney Mullen
Rodney's street setup suits technical flatland and rail practice. His signature specials include the Heelflip Darkslide, but basic manual balance is useful before attempting a demanding special grind.
