Easier Game Completion
If you are stuck on the final mission, all you have to do is complete a total of 96 missions to finish the game. In order to unlock the bonuses, backtrack to an incomplete goal (for example, the first chapter), and you will see the videos. This works especially well if you are completing sick mode, considering the final challenge has a considerably shorter period of time to finish.

Getting To Hard To Reach Areas
During any time that you can set a restart from the options menu (in game), you can use it to get to areas otherwise impossible to reach. Ollie then pause game play before you start coming down. Set a restart while in the air. Then, go to the restart, quickly Ollie again, then set the restart at the top of the Ollie again. By repeating this you will get higher and higher, and may be able to access rooftops and ledges (if you are close enough).

Jump Higher
While off your skateboard (walking), when you jump the first time, you can also jump a second time while still in the air (if you keep tapping Jump). This is very helpful for out of reach places. Note: You can only jump twice.

Switch Tricks
Riding switch is the opposite of what your rider is used to. If you have a regular stance rider, then switch would be the goofy stance for them, and vice versa. When you do switch tricks, you get more points than what you would normally get for doing it in regular/goofy form. For example, doing a Kickflip (regular) results in 100 points, but a Switch Kickflip gets 120 points. It makes a larger difference on bigger tricks such as specials.

Hawaii: Venice Level Bonus
In Hawaii, you can unlock the Venice level from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. From the large hotel you start at, follow the main road all the way around in either direction.

Alternately, go out the front doors of the hotel and through the plaza all the way out the other side. Jump inside the tiki head's mouth to find a secret area. Skate down the tunnel until the end and boneless into the air to grab the unlock for the Venice level. Note: Think of the map as a square.
