Tony Hawk's American Wasteland Glitchs

Xbox PS2 GameCube Xbox 360

Barber Shop and Clothes Shop

To start off ill just let you know that you can't do this glitch on story mode only on Xbox Live or Freeskate.

To get in to these places you have to try to get in the clothes shop but won't be able too. Get your character as far left as he can go. Then press start and go to options and set your restart there. Then walk over to the golden rail that goes under the hangling sign. After that jump and gring and then while your grinding press start and go to options and then go to "go to resart". If you did that right, you will end up in the clothes shop! To get in the barber shop, wall run up left wall and then double jump and you'll end up in a garage. Then walk into the barber shop! once you are in the barber shop, you cant get out!

3.) When you are chasing someone that is moving, wait in a place that you know they will come back.Then, WHACK!

4.) When you meet a French guy that says he doesn't need a skateboard to do tricks, he will tell you to run up a wall (R) for your first trick, then he will tell you to do a flip. The text says press up once but you must press it twice with the A button in order to do the flip.(you have to run up the wall first to do a flip.)

5.) When the french guy tells you to do tucks, he will tell you to do a backwards tuck first, you can do that while stationary, then he'll tell you to do a front tuck. To do that you must push up and then A.

Stat Increase

If you go to the skateshop's there are goals that you have to do if you want to raise your stats. There are new goals everday. You can only do one set of goals a day. But if you go to the side of the shop or somewhere nearby there is an area that says "Call it a day." Press "x" and you will sleep for a period of time. If you do this about 5 times it will go to the next day and then you will have new goals to do at the skateshop to get your stats up.
