In Hawaii, you search for a spot that has been untouched by skaters. When you and Eric impress your team manager Todd with your performance at the demo, you are sent to Hawaii to film for a team video. Eric is soon joined to the team, introduced to you during your party-induced hangover. Once you dominate the event, you join the sponsor of your choice (choosing from Birdhouse, Element, Flip, Girl, or Zero), which sends you to San Diego to do a demo. After impressing local pros, and doing some doubles with Tony Hawk himself, you are allowed into the event. By the time the event starts, you get into an argument with Eric when he "forgets" to sign you up. Eric gets arrested for mouthing off to the officer, meaning You must first do favors for the local police force to bail out Eric and proceed through to your Tampa experience. You arrive in Tampa in trouble with the police for driving a shoddy vehicle (an old hippie bus lent by Stacy) with a police-offensive bumper sticker. Once completed, you talk to Stacy who tells you to join the Tampa AM skate event in Florida. Once you have arrived in Manhattan, you decide to make a skate video hitting famous lines and tricks in well-known areas of Manhattan, and complete the sponsorship video by performing various tricks over a burning taxi. In an effort to help Eric, you hurry to leave town with him to Manhattan, New York. When you tell Eric the good news, he says that the drug dealers have been following him, angry that he destroyed their car. He makes it a deal, as long as you show him something original, and don't film in any local spots. You then meet up with Stacy Peralta, and ask for a sponsorship from his skate shop. You go on a dangerous odyssey to retrieve it, after which Eric proceeds to light the drug dealer's SUV on fire, as "revenge" for stealing his skateboard earlier in the game. After impressing the local sponsored skaters, one of your friends, Shawn, says that the local drug dealers have stolen a skateboard from Peralta's shop. Once accomplished, he suggests the player earn a sponsorship from the local skateshop, and gives you his skateboard out of respect. After the demo, the player performs for Chad as he explores the greater New Jersey area to grab his attention.
