DOWNTOWN

This stage is weird.  There's not much more to say.  Littered with transfers and huge gaps, it proves for a totally crazy experience.  You can go to different areas that suit your taste.  Like a easy halfpipe-like environment?   Stick to the fountain area.  Favor crazy rails?  Just look throughout the stage.  Like huge gaps over buildings?  Head to the roof.  Like getting hit by cars?  Downtown, Minneapolis has that as well.  Go have fun in this stage.

Downtown: Minneapolis - Dodge traffic and air it out over the fountainin the center court.  This is a nice wide-open scene with lots of kicker ramps and fire escapes that make for some insane grind combos.  And who said you have to stick to the streets?  Rip up everything in sight and try to make it to the roof tops for some serious gaps.

TAPES

Hi Score - 15,000 points
Break 5 No Skating Signs
Get S-K-A-T-E
Hidden Tape
Pro Score - 40,000 points

Hi Score (15000 points) - As all Hi Score goals, just do some tricks off ramps.  There really isn't a halfpipe, except for some pools on the roof, but the kicker ramps should serve nicely.

Break 5 No Skating Signs - As always, this will be in order of how I get them.  The first is right at the end of the alley where you start, go down the pathway that leads to the fountain.  To get the second, take the other path from the fountain up to the street, it's right there.  The third is on top of the strange triangular thing that you will be next to when you come out of the fountain area.   The fourth is on the other side of the triangle thing, follow the street that has a bunch of giant launch ramps, the sign is to the right, by a Bus Stop.  The final one is in front of the building that you can go in by smashing the glass, by where the road that is under construction is.

Get S-K-A-T-E - The "S" is right at the beginning, you must grind the rail that is to the right, by the movie screen.  You have to get up to that long platform to get up to the rail.  The "K" is floating over the fountain.  The "A" is between the truck that takes you to the roof and the building with the glass front.  You must then go up the truck and through the tunnel to get the "T".  Finally, the "E" is on a rail that is between the two buildings that you can go on.  To get this one, you can either fall off the roof and grind the rail there, or go off one of the large kickers from the street below and lauch up there.

Hidden Tape - This one is pretty fun.  When you start, go to the right.  Go up the street that is under construction, then turn right again, and go past the glass building.  Use the truck with the ramp to get into the tunnel.   Once on the roof, use the purple ramp to get up to the big white bowl thing.   Gain some speed, then use the ramp that leads to the other building to launch yourself into the air.  The Hidden Tape is floating between the two buildings.

Pro Score (40000 points) - This one was tough for me when I was trying to beat it when I first played the game.  I suppose you could use the yellow QP and the side of the triangular thing as a halfpipe, but I found a long path that would give me lots of points (enough to beat it, which I thought was a lot at the time).   First, go off the kicker right in front of you, and do a trick up to the pathway above.  Grind it for the Kicker 2 Ledge transfer.  Ollie to the rail where the "S" is, and grind that.  Do a trick down, then continue straight.  Do a trick over the Bus Stop for the BS Gap.  Do another trick over the giant kicker, then grind the rail after it (not in the same trick).  You should have your Special Meter ready, so do a Signature Move over the truck there, and snag the point bonus.   Do another Signature Move on the small QP by the movie screen, and get another point bonus icon.  Go down the street that has the triangle thing to the left, and the yellow QP to the right.  Do tricks off the kickers, etc. until you get to the truck.  Go up the truck and get the T2T Gap, and grind the rail.  Continue grinding as long as you can, but don't overdo it.  Go past the greenhouse thing, and up into the white bowl thing.  Get a lot of speed, then do a big trick over the roof for the Roof 2 Roof transfer.  If you don't have enough points, stay in the blue pool and do tricks.
