Geoff Rowley (Pro Specific Challenge)
Step 1: Head straight up the slope, at the top do an ollie. Pull off an FS Shove-It while you're in the air and land in a Nosegrind on the handrail down. Jump to a safe landing on the floor. If your ollie from the slope isn't reaching the rail, try using a Boneless. Repeat this another 2 times with the different flips and grinds. The last grind will be a special so you'll need a full meter.
Step 2: This step's pretty easy. Go down the roll-in and ollie off the edge. While you're in the air do the Inward Heelflip and Crooked grind the ledge you land on below.
Step 3: More of the same, but this time you need to trick out of the grind as well. Go down the roll-in and jump, do the Hardflip then Feeble grind the electrical wire. Ollie from the wire and Kickflip before you hit the floor. Repeat the same basic process for the next two parts, some slick fingerwork is needed for the last one!

Grind American Cars For Parking Guy
You have to grind on four cars in the right order without losing your combo. The path you take is a general clockwise circle around the car park. The first car is white, the next is blue, next is black and finally another blue. These cars stand out from the rest so it's not too hard to see which you need. There's a low ledge running around the edge of the car park which you can use to get around quicker. Grind the white car and get grinding on this ledge. When you see the blue car, hop to the right and grind it. Don't go the ledge now, Manual across the floor to the black car and grind it. Get back on the ledge now, ride it until you see the last blue car.
