MALL
After-hours in a New York mall, what a great idea. Filled with big escalators and huge ollie opportunities, this stage would be great if it were real. This stage is one of the two downhill stages that have endings. The amount of water in this stage gets somewhat annoying, but other than that, it's great!
Mall: New York - Take a little after-hours stroll through the indoor/outdoor mall. This place is filled with huge stair sets and escalators just beggin' to be cleared. Check out the upper level for some killer gaps!

Hidden Tape
Pro Score - 30,000 points
Hi Score (10000 points) - This one isn't too hard. Just find some huge gaps and rails to ollie and grind. Stick by the elevator-things if you have trouble.
Destroy 5 Directories - Since this is a downhill stage, everything is in a line. This explains it from the start to finish, but you can get it any way you want. To start, go down the ramps at the start. At the bottom of the ramps, go up the escalator right in front of you. The first directory is right up top. To get the second, ollie up to the ramp that leads to the fountain. Go through the fountain and ollie up the ramp on the other side. The next is right there. If you can't do that, just go up the second escalator that leads upward, then turn around and travel towards the start, in the upper area. The directory is there. The third is easy, just ride towards the end, and the directory is right before the big escalator. The fourth is below the escalator, down the path. Ollie up onto the small platform with the cool rail things, and the directory is there. To get the final one, go to the end, and the last one is in front of the exit, before you go down the final escalator.
Get S-K-A-T-E
S - On the rail by the ramp that
leads down from the start.
K - Grind the ledge on the right
of the fountain on the top level.
A - Grind the rails over the pool
on the middle level.
T - On the strange rails heading
towards the outside.
E - Outside the mall, launch off
the ramp over the pool.
Hidden Tape - This is my personal favorite Hidden Tape location. There are several ways to get it, and I will describe all of them. They are basically the same, but some may give more points. I will first explain the most basic one. First, go to the right of the pool of water that is near the beginning. Past it is a ramp, then a car, then another ramp. Gain some speed, then go between the first launch ramp and the small brown wall on the left. Stay on the left and travel past the car, with a good amount of speed. Ollie off the second launch ramp, and grind one of the white bars of lights that are hanging overhead. Continue grinding, over the pool of water where the "A" is, and you eventually will see the Hidden Tape. You must ollie off and grab the tape, but you must ollie at an angle. If you are on the left bar, then ollie to the right, and vice versa. The timing may be a little tricky if you are not used to it. The next way to get the hidden tape is basically the same, but you will need more speed. When you go to the left of the launch ramp, ollie up onto the short brown wall and grind it. When the wall ends, ollie off onto the lights. The third way is to ollie off the high area that has one of the directories on top and grind on the lights. The fourth way is like the third, except you grind the brown wall on the high area, then ollie down onto the light.
Pro Score (30000 points) - This score gave me a ton of trouble when I first picked up the game because not only did I not know about combos and such, I didn't even know how to do Special Moves. I finally got it by going to the spot with the elevators and doing a bunch of grab moves. I've seen a rookie get it by using the quarterpipes in the very beginning like a long halfpipe, just going up and down it, doing Kickflip McTwists and such.
