How do you do a hippie jump in skate 2?

Press "A" and "X" (or square and x on the ps3 i think) and release to jump. If you hold down "A" and "X" longer your player will jump higher

EDIT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED SKATE 2: ^Wrong, that's a hippy jump...

A hippy flip is when you do a kick flip, and you go over a rail and your board goes under it. It requires extremely precise timing.

What are some similarities of skateboarding and snowboarding?

Carving on a skateboard is similar to leaning to turn on a snow board. Also the balance of riding is about the same as a skateboard. A snow board includes more movements in the ankles than skateboarding does. Id say the two are very similar over all. If you are snow boarding for the first time after having been a skater, you will find that you don't turn as easy, therefore you must move your ankles into the lean of your body. If you are skating for the first time after having been a snowboarder, balance on a skateboard and turning and what not, will be fairly easy for you. Hope this helps.

What is the best pro skateboard to buy?

The best skateboard is the Element board. I don't know how someone thought it was World Industries and/or Darkstar. They suck!!!! Element is awesome! World Industries and Darkstar were actually tied... FOR WORST SKATEBOARD BRANDS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But never but the full board, get the deck, wheels, trucks, bearings and griptape. Then go to a skateshop and ask the manager to put the board together for you.

How do you build a ramp for the handicapped?

Answer First you need to build a frame for it for the decking to sit on. Need to mount a 2x4 or 2x6 board that goes across the open on the door. Ofset this board down the height of the thinkness of the decking material that you will be using for the ramp top itself. It makes mouting look cleaner if you cut the front top of this board in the angle that the ramp will be heading. This will make it flush at the top. Then you will need 2x4 or 2x6 boards that will be along the sides of the frame. Then you need a board about every foot in between these sides. The sides and middle boards should be cut at angles at the top and bottom so the they mount flush with the top board and the ground. You can just toe-tail these boards to the top door way board. When this is done then just nail or screw the top decking boards down (ramp boards). I hope I explained that clear enough. Good luck.

Are superior skateboards good?

Supra is one of the worst "hyped up" shoe companies out there right now. They sponsor non skaters (not just BMXers, I'm talking stuff like this http://www.upscalehype.com/2010/06/justin-bieber-in-g-star-wood-denim-jacket-supra-society-sneakers/) and if you think I'm kidding, just go and try a pair yourself. If you are a real skateboarder who goes out at least three or four times a week and really puts down tricks- these shoes WILL. BLOW. OUT. The soles are garbage, the synthetic leather they use is garbage and everything about them is garbage. It's hard for me to even believe Erik Ellington backs these hot steaming piles of garbage.

How to get skateboard stickers off?

Answer help your skateboardtry using nail polish remover to take of the spray paint it work on cars so why not skateboard???

Hope it works:)

GOOD LUCK!!!

just buy a new one, its not worth the trouble. skateboards are made of wood, not metal, so i don't think the idea above might work.

I tried this method on my skate board and it took ALL of the paint off, even the original print, and I LOVE it!!! But, if you dont want to lose the original print then you shouldn't do it, but if your ok with it then scrub away!
