Play as Pro Skater in Career mode

In Career mode, go to the City Park area and enter the tutorial warehouse. While in the Tutorial menu, select the Pro Skater you wish to use in Career mode, then choose any tutorial. Then, exit the warehouse once the tutorial begins through the door that has an arrow pointing towards it. You should now be back at City Park as the Pro Skater you selected. Note: Your tricks will not change to the trick set of the Pro Skater, like they do in Free Skate mode. You cannot change clothes as a Pro Skater. To play as the default character again, select "Edit Skater" in your room, then select a default look. Additionally, your hospital bill and broken bones will also not appear on screen like normal, even after changing back to your default character. To fix this, go to the tutorial warehouse and select the Pro Skater you last played as. Then, select any tutorial and pause the game once the tutorial begins. Enter the Trick Type menu, go back to the Training menu, then select "Exit Training".

Easy air stats

Play the first part of the Bob Burnquist Pro Challenge. When you are falling through the air it counts towards your air stats. Just start the mission and begin flying through the air. Allow the game to idle like this, because it continuously resets the mission and when you do not perform all of the tricks and hit the ground, it just puts you straight to the top and never stops.

Increase air stat in Factory

There are four jet-machines that shoot you extremely fast. Go outside and press Square to move things around inside the factory. Put a quarter-pipe in front of the machine and you will be shot straight up. This is an easy way to do more than one special or 1080 spin tricks to increase those stats.

Easy Stokens in Fun Park

Grind the roller coaster around for awhile to get a lot of Stokens. Note: Make sure to not fall or get hit by the roller coaster train.

Skate over to the large roller coaster. Enter at the entrance of the roller coaster, skating in the opposite direction of the cart. Fully skate the roller coaster while jumping over the cart when it comes around and land at the beginning of coaster entrance. Do not fall and land it to get a few hundred Stokens.

Grind challenge in Fun Park

To achieve Sick without any Ollies, grind in the same direction of the cart. You will be in the middle of the track and you will get the message "Land For SICK Level".

Easy manual experience in Hill Top

There is a slope where you can manual down to get a lot of manual experience easily. The slope is a road and when you look down it, you should see a building with a "COME AGAIN!" sign on it. There is a spot challenge at the beginning of the slope. Start the challenge and try to manual all the way down. Do not worry about hitting all the spots or anything else. To get easy experience, just go down the hill as far as possible. When you get to the bottom, instead of going up, just restart your last goal. You will be on the spot challenge again at the top of the hill. From there, you can manual down again and repeat this as many times as desired for a lot of experience, fast.

Play piano in School

Find the awning painted like a piano near Nyja Houston. Grind it and it will make piano sounds.

Jumping higher

Go up to a guard while you are off your skateboard and jump over him a few times. Sometimes you will get an extra boost in air. By doing this, you can get to places that you cannot normally jump to. You can hit a guard and make him chase you to the slums. In the lot in front of the Jeep Factory is a hidden spot icon. Hop the guard to collect it.
