With its revolutionary Flick-it controls, huge open world, endless trick permutations and realistic over-the-shoulder visuals, Skate shatters Tony Hawk's vice-like grip on the genre. Skate's fictional city of San Vanelona is ripe for grinds, gaps and complex combos, but the locations (or "spots") listed here offer the maximum potential for points. We've rounded up the best of the in-game "spot bible," plus our favourites from around the city.
Own... The Right Grind
This multi-gapped grind sits right opposite a tram station on the far east side of the Suburbs, near the schoolyard. Tricky to dial the first time, but once you know the layout, it's straightforward.
Own... Ramped Up
Up from Slappy's in Old Town is an angled wall at the bottom of a steep hill. With enough speed you can clear the steps and reach the road. If you can avoid the pedestrians, that is.
