Use a quarter-pipe on either side of the statehouse to launch up and bust through the glass into a room where Ben is, he'll run through a black door so follow him and the goal's done.

Find The Special Guest
I guess this has to be the easiest goal in the game, as you start there's a building on your left. Go down the slope to the basement door and you'll find Jesse James.

Combo On The RV Ramp
To do this goal you must first do the special guest goal 'Jump The Cars' to make the RV appear. Get on the RV ramp and do a combo worth 5,000 points or more. Do this when the RV is on a straight, if it's going around a corner it's easy to fall off.

Decapitate The Statues
There are 3 of these statues, 2 of them are right next to each other outside the statehouse and the other is in the middle of the commons. The idea is you Spine-Transfer over and knock their heads off. To get both of the statehouse statues in one move use a really slow Spine-Transfer.

Hospital Duty
Here you have to take the sick kid and his trolley up to meet Tony Hawk who is waiting at the start of the level. I recommend going through the alley between the two buildings and making a right, cut across the corner of the commons area and then head straight up the road to Tony. Swerve to avoid any surgeons... stat.

Mark Your Territory
Spray over the 5 Spat graffiti tags. The first is outside the statehouse, the next is just down the road next to the scaffolding. Find the third up on the hospital roof, use the quarter-pipe on the ground to transfer up there. The next is in the construction area next to the huge vent quarter-pipe. The last one is outside the construction area on the wall right in the corner of the level.

Combo The 4 Benches
This is easy, jump on the first bench and grind. You don't need to jump in between each bench, only over the bigger gap in the middle. For the other gaps just hold the grind button.

Slap The Signs
There are 4 'No Skateboarding' signs about the place, you have to Sticker Slap each of them. The first is at the statehouse, grind the rail, ollie and Sticker Slap it. You'll use a similar technique for the last 2 signs as well. The next sign is just down the road on the scaffolding to the left. Head further down the road and grind the blue fence to the left for the next sign. The last one is up on a wall in the red brick area, use a Wallride and grind the curved wall then ollie to the sign.

Ben Franklin
All About The Benjamins
The idea here is to get into the bank, the doors are locked so that's out. Get speed and use the quarter-pipe outside to launch right and you'll come down through the roof.

Combo On The High Seas
You have to score a 10,000 point combo on the boat, use a Spine-Transfer to get on there. Go back and forth the sides of the boat doing tricks until you have enough points. Use a Revert to a Manual when you land off the sides to keep the combo going.

Skate The Liberty Trail
Firstly do a Pop Shove-It down the steps of the statehouse, ride straight down the road and air over the library mural (from the quarter-pipe on one side over to the other). Head down to the boat and Spine-Transfer aboard, climb the mast and do an Acid Drop from the top. All the relevant structures will be flashing so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

The S is hovering over the gateway of the grand building on your left as you start. Grind the fence and ollie to reach it, then follow the road down to the red bricked area in the corner of the map. The K is on top of the wall here, get it and head towards the hospital. Use the quarter-pipe to transfer onto the first floor roof and get the A.

Smash 5 Tea Barrels
The first tea barrel is behind you when you start, under the colorful ledge. The next is on the ship, Spine-Transfer over the fence to get on there. The next is on a scaffolding structure near the commons, either climb up or transfer up using the quarter-pipe. The next barrel is only a few feet away on the ground.

Grind The 5 Pigeon Rails
The first pigeon rail is in the red brick area right in the corner, use the steps to get up there and grind it. Head back towards the starting point, the next rail is a fence on the right hand side of the road. The next is the colorful ledge on the building, grind the step bannisters to launch up there. Make use of a Wallride if you don't quite make it. The fourth rail is a wire that goes above the commons area, the quickest way up is to use the little curb that goes around the commons. Timing it can be tricky, don't use much speed. The last rail is the blue fence next to the ship, grind it to the left.
