1. Info
===============================
-------------------------------------------------
This guide is to help people learn awesome 
tricks in Nail-The-Trick mode on THP8. I will 
teach normal tricks that we use everyday and I 
will teach some of my customs. I will try to be 
as specific as I can so bare with me. If you are 
having trouble landing stuff, read this or email 
me ([email protected])! I am always 
ready to answer questions the best I can! If you 
don't like my 
guide, Im sorry! 
This is 
only 
my 
second guide. My first is on GTA: SA Interior 
Universe Faq. Most people like it though! So, if 
your ready to learn some tricks here we go!
-------------------------------------------------

===============================
2. Set-up
===============================
-------------------------------------------------
To set up for Nail-The-Trick Mode, here is what 
you need to do. Have your hands firmly on your 
PS2 controller in a comfortable position so you 
can easily move your thumbs and fingers. It is 
best to hit a kicker or object before Nailing-
The-Trick, otherwise you 
won't 
have 
enough 
time 
to land a really awesome trick. Roll towards 
your object and press (X) to ollie. As soon as 
you press (X), move both your thumbs to the 
analog sticks and press into the controller 
until you hear a click. This is called (L3) and 
(R3)! Convert to a manual if you cant figure 
this out! Now everything should slow down and 
zoom onto your sk8er. Now you do a trick. I 
listed some common ones below, along with some 
of my customs!
-------------------------------------------------

===============================
3. BS Basic Trick Guide
===============================
-------------------------------------------------

|A. Kickflip|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode!
-On the left analog stick, press your left thumb 
towards you and hold it towards you as far is it 
can go.
-Do not even touch the right analog stick!
-Wait until the board spins completely around 
and until the griptape is facing upwards again 
then let go of the analog stick to land!

|B. Heelflip|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-On the left analog stick, push it away from you 
and hold it away from you as far is it can go.
-Do not even touch the right analog stick!
-Wait until the board spins completely around 
and until the griptape is facing upwards again 
then let go of the analog stick to land!

|C. Impossible|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-On the right analog stick, push it all the way 
to the right and hold it there. The board should 
start spinning like a backflip.
-Do not even touch the left analog stick!
-Wait until the board flips atleast once and the 
griptape is facing upwards then let go of the 
analog stick to land!

|D. Varial Kickflip|
(DUEL FINGER TRICK)
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-On the left analog stick, push and hold it all 
the way towards you like a normal kickflip!
-On the right analog stick, at the same time as 
you are pushing the left towards you, push the 
right analog stick towards you as well.
-Kind of give a twitch to the sticks to make it 
start right. This may take some practice.
-Hold the analog sticks in place and wait for 
the griptape to come around. When it does, let 
go of both analog sticks and land!

|E. Varial Heelflip|
(DUAL FINGER TRICK)
Get Into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-On the left analog stick, push and hold it away 
from you like a normal heelfip!
-At the same tipe you are pushing foward on the 
left stick, push the right foward as well in a 
weird motion.
-You may need to circulate the left stick to 
make it work properly!
-Wait until the griptape is all the way around 
and facing upwards, then let go of the sticks 
and land!

|F. Pop Shove-It|
(EASY)
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-Push back or foward with the right and only 
right analog stick and hold it there.
-Let the board spin 180 at least, or continue to 
let it spin to get a 360 Shove-It etc. 
-Once the griptape is aligned with the feet in a 
parallel position, let go of the stick to land!

-------------------------------------------------

===============================
4. BS Custom Chain Tricks
===============================
-------------------------------------------------

|A. Kickflip-Impossible|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-Push the left analog stick towards you like a 
normal kickflip and hold it there!
-Wait for the griptape to come around but this 
time dont let go of the left stick. Instead keep 
holding it in position and push the right stick 
to the right and hold it there.
-The board should have now kickfliped and be in 
the impossible motion. Wait for it to rotate 
around then let go of the sticks to land!

|B. 1-2-3-4 Shove-It|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-Take and push the right analog stick towards 
you and hold it like a normal pop shove-it.
-Let the board spin 180, now push and hold the 
right stick foward causing it to spin 180 in the 
opposite direction.
-Once it spins 180, push it back towards you 
again and let it spin 180 again!
-Now push it back away from you once more and 
let it spin 180 a total of 4 180s. Let the 
griptape come around then let go of the stick 
and land!

|C. Impossible-Reverse|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
-Push the right stick to the right like a normal 
impossible. Let it spin completely around until 
the griptape is up!
-Do not land, instead now, still holding the 
right stick to the right, push the left stick to 
the left to reverse the impossible.
-Let it spin like a frontflip until the griptape 
is back around. Now let go of the sticks and 
land!

|HK Flip|
Get into Nail-The-Trick Mode
This is a heelflip, kickflip!
-Push and hold the left stick fowards away from 
you until the board spins like a heelflip!
-Once the griptape is back and parallel, pull 
the left stick back and let it kickflip once!
-Wait until the tape is back around, now let go 
and land!

-------------------------------------------------

===============================
5. Challenge
===============================
-------------------------------------------------
I challenge you to a casper flip!
Try to kickflip and when the board is upside 
down get into casper position and pull the board 
back like a shove-it out type trick. You can 
also make your own chains by connecting tricks 
and so. Catching boards by trunks and continuing 
is hard though! Try out your own techs and email 
me if you have a good one!
