Impress The Skater's Very Easily
In Career Mode, on the Canada level, one of the "missions" is to 'Impress The Skaters'. An easy way to do this is to get your special meter up, and go up the ramp right in front of the skater you are impressing. Do a special move that gets you a medium amount of points, such as The Jackass. Then, when you come down, just land in a Revert, and quickly do a Manual or a Nose Manual. This should all be linked up. So by doing this, you save the effort of jumping around trying to balance Manual's and thinking about what flip trick to do next. Just do this process right in front of each skater, and you will finish this "mission" with ease. (Don't blame me if this doesn't work, because you are probably not doing a special trick that is worth enough points, or you aren't linking the tricks together correctly.)
