Just binged the entire playthrough and had a blast watching. THUG is personal favorite and watching people go through it for the first time is always interesting. I'll tell you as someone who's played this religiously, the New Jersey Train Trickspot is a real difficulty spike that requires you to essentially land as many tricks in one combo. Let tricks build a little, try to keep as much in combo, then land when it's convenient. The tricks will stop at a certain time (I believe, 15 or 20 seconds left), so holding out is the way to do it, but that's easier said than done. In Sick difficulty, your balance meter is stricter and stats have a greater influence on you. I'd say you did great, all things considered. Also, if you beat the game again on your completion save, you'll get a second ending after the pro video chapter. Considering your feelings on Eric, I'd say its worth an offscreen Beginner playthrough to watch it (might wanna record your reaction, just in case). One last free tip from me, in Tony Hawk games, you always want your special meter filled. You go faster and jump higher, making combos feel better and more consistent. Hope you don't mind my tiny essay. If you eventually play Underground 2 or Pro Skater 4, I'd def binge those too. Thanks for this run. Hope you have a good one. And fuck Eric. lol
Nah, I appreciate it! Definitely didn't know about the special meter buff. I was thinking about one more follow up video, so now I wanna get to that second ending lol.

I remember being a dumb kid and thinking you had to do the final skate again Erik in one combo. many hours wasted
I would have raged for another 20 mins
Eric's villain speech at the end feels a little racist when the player character is black.
