A manual to flip over the fountain gives about 10,000 points, and this can then be finished off with flatland combos for many more points.

Jump off the end and manual over to the rail leading down to the fountain area. Grind the rail, then jump off and manual toward the fountain.

For example, from a 50-50, pressing square twice will switch the grind to a smith. From a smith, pressing circle and then triangle will switch the grind to a one footed smith. Another way of changing grinds is to jump and then land in a different grind. The advantage of using this method is that flip tricks or even small grabs can be performed between each grind. HIGH COMBO Turn slightly left from the start point and Boneless from the small launch ramp up to a grind on the wire above. This wire loops around the huts, so perform some grind combinations as explained in the previous goal to get the points. COLLECT S-K-A-T-E S.
