How to Wall Run & Backflip in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

"Tony Hawk's American Wasteland" is built upon the successful "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" and "Tony Hawk Underground" skateboard game series. "American Wasteland" added more arcade style moves, allowing for millions of points in just one combo. Two maneuvers that allow players to have high scores are the wall run and backflip moves. They are easy to execute with a little practice and will dramatically increase your score once you add them to your repertoire.

Instructions

Wall Run
- 1
  Press "L1" and "R1" together to get off the board.
- 2
  Run toward a wall.
- 3
  Hold "R1" as you meet the wall head on. As you hit the wall, your character will scale the wall. Releasing "R1" will make your character fall, so make sure you continue to hold it.
Backflip
- 4
  Skate toward a large jump such as a quarter pipe.
- 5
  Press the "X" button to ollie at the top of the jump. This will increase your airtime, giving you more time to do a backflip.
- 6
  Hold the circle button and tap down, then down again on the directional pad. Your character will do a quick backflip.
