All Venice Beach Gaps and Goals in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

Here's how to get all goals, gaps, and other objectives in Venice Beach.

High Score, Pro Score, Sick Score, High Combo

To get these four park goals, you need to beat the following scores within the two minute time limit.

• High Score - 40,000
• Pro Score - 100,000
• Sick Score - 200,000
• High Combo - 20,000 (in one combo)

Collect S-K-A-T-E

You need to collect the letters that make up the word "SKATE". They're scattered throughout the level. Here's where you'll find them:

• S — From the start, turn right and grind the chainlink fence. Ollie up to the building ahead
• K — From the S location, turn left and head down. The K is hovering above a gap
• A — From the K location, turn left again, grind the graffitied wall, and ollie over to the next roof where the A is
• T — From the A location, turn left to find a kicker ramp that leads to another roof. The T is above a quarter pipe
• E — From the T location turn to the left and drop down to the lower roof. The E is above a short ramp at the end

Collect 5 Spray Cans

There are five spray cans in Venice Beach. Locate them all to complete this park goal.

• From the start, turn right and go down the walkway. A spray can is above a wooden quarter pipe at the end
• From this quarter pipe, turn right and down alongside the beach. A spray can is hovering between two quarter pipes
• From the start position, head down the steps and turn right to find a spray can above a low ledge
• From the start position, immediately turn left to find a spray can above a quarter pipe
• From the start position, head down and to the left. Go down the slope to the left of the wooden quarter pipe, and another spray can is above the graffitied quarter pipe

Ollie the Magic Bum 5x

A homeless man resides in Venice Beach. Find and ollie over him five times. Here's where you'll find the magic bum, in order:

• From the start, head straight and follow the long graffitied wall through to a small area. Ollie over the bum and he'll move to the next spot
• Go back out the way you came and turn right at the other end of that graffitied wall. The bum will be at the bottom of the slope
• Go back up the slope towards the starting location. Turn left and follow the fence until you find the bum again
• Next, turn left and find the large banner with a patch of grass beneath, on the left
• Now, go back where you came, the bum is next to the starting position

Hit 4 VB Transfers

There are four quarter pipe transfers to complete in Venice Beach:

• Turn right from the start and head down to the wooden quarter pipe. Angle to the left and transfer over the middle quarter pipe and into the next one over. Lots of speed and air required
• After the above, turn right and two more quarter pipes are ahead. There's one opposite these against the wall — use it to transfer over to the right
• After the above, turn left and head for the long graffitied wall. Turn right when you get to it and then left to find two quarter pipes opposite each other. Use the farther one to gain momentum, then use the other to transfer over to the right (only a small one, this)
• After the above, use the quarter pipes to get onto the roof. Follow it along and you should see a lower area with steps and another pair of quarter pipes. Hop over there and use the upper quarter pipe to transfer to the lower one

Tailslide Venice Ledge

From the start, immediately turn left and go down into the pool. Use it to get over the wall and land on the wooden path. Follow it down and turn left into a new area. The low wall is the Venice Ledge. Grind it all the way down with a Tailslide (Triangle + right).

Get the Secret Tape

From the start, go straight down and you'll see the tape above a wire. Using one of the tables below, ollie up and grind the wire to get the secret tape. It's quite precise so will likely take a couple of tries.

Stat Points

There are four stat points in Venice Beach. Their locations depend on what style your character is. For more details, see our guide on all stat points locations.

Vert:

• From starting position, turn right and head straight down towards the beach. There's a stat point floating above a quarter pipe
• From starting position, head straight down past the banners on the right. Keep heading along and go through the narrow gap between walls. Turn left through here and use the quarter pipe to transfer over and get the stat point
• From starting position, turn right and head down the walkway towards the beach. Turn left and continue down the path. There's a stat point above a quarter pipe on the left
• From starting position, head straight down past the banners on the right. Take the path down to the left of the wooden quarter pipe. Use the graffitied quarter pipe to get over the ledge. Head to the right to find a quarter pipe next to the beach — a stat point is above it

Street:

• Head onto the highest roof. Ollie off the end towards the wire where the secret tape is located
• Head onto the highest roof. To the right you'll see a stat point above a pole. Use the ramp nearby to ollie up to it
• When you're on the next roof after doing the above, ollie off the side into an area with a graffitied wall. Grind the wall to get a stat point
• From the start point, turn right and use the fence to get up onto the roof ahead. Follow it along to the left. Use the fan ramp to get the last stat point

Park:

• Head down into the area with the tables. To the right is a stat point above a table
• Turn right at the start. Use the fence to get up onto the roof. There's a stat point ahead above a banner — grind the rail to get it
• To the right of the above location, you'll see another stat point above a fence next to the beach. Grind the low wall then ollie up to the tall fence
• Get up onto the highest roof via the wooden half pipe. To the right is a lower roof with a stat point above a small ramp

Vicarious Visions Logo

There's a hidden Vicarious Visions logo in each level. It looks like two letter Vs stacked on top of each other. Here's where the Vicarious Visions logo is in Venice Beach.

From starting position, head straight down past the banners on the right. You'll see a wooden quarter pipe against a wall — use it to get on top. Turn to the right to find a ramp that leads to the logo.

Alien Plushie

From the starting position, head straight down and around to the left. Go down the path to the left of the wooden quarter pipe, then use the graffitied quarter pipe to get up to the left. There's a wooden path that goes by the beach — follow this all the way up to find the alien plushie in the corner.
