If you had a time machine and the goal of messing with skateboard history by taking credit for a trick, what would you do? This topic was inspired by a question from Tim on Patreon, and there’s a second part we’ll get to later where this gets a little crazier. So how do we mess […]
You’re going to need a hacked save file to start. Luckily, I have one for you right here: Inside, you’ll find a file called ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 (USA)_1.mcd’. This is a memory card file used in DuckStation, the PlayStation emulator I used for this playthrough. It may or may not work with other […]

This time on the Shred School, we’re going to figure out the 50-50 grind! Let’s get to it! Prerequisites To learn the 50-50, you need a solid rolling ollie.

Prerequisites Of course, you’ll need a good kickflip and shove it. Well, you really only need a good shove it. Some people find varial kickflips easier than straight kickflips. So if you […]

Prerequisites Being comfortable on your board and rolling both ways. You’ll need to ollie when we start doing them higher, but you can learn this trick […]
