Tony Hawk's Proving Ground — About this game
Develop a skating route through Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC in the DS edition. Begin with Beginner Lessons, then use Story goals to shape your progress toward career challenges or a hardcore approach. A jump, grab, flip and grind form the basic vocabulary; manuals and a Bertslide help carry the line between obstacles. Hold a trick only when the landing leaves enough time, since a longer hold is useful only if the combo survives. Special meter growth unlocks three touch skulls for ground, air and grind specials. Classic mode provides separate score and challenge goals, while Free Skate lets you explore unlocked areas and rehearse a line before taking it into a task.
