Where to Grind and Find: Unveiling the Secret Spot
The secret tape, unlike a delicious Mission District burrito, isn't exactly displayed in a storefront window. It's hidden high atop a building, just begging for a daring skater to snag it. But don't worry, you won't need a wingsuit and a grappling hook (though those might be pretty sweet for a future trick combo).
Here's the lowdown:
-
The Right Grind: Start by heading down the path that leads towards the China Basin. Once you see the ramp on your left, hit it with some serious grindage. This will launch you up onto a ledge. Don't dawdle – make a quick U-turn and keep grinding that ledge all the way around the building.
-
Ramp Up the Excitement: This scenic grind will lead you, with some impressive balance of course, to the top of the building. There, you'll find another glorious ramp just waiting to be conquered. Take a deep breath, channel your inner Tony Hawk, and launch yourself off that ramp.
-
Tape Time! And voila! As you soar through the air, you'll spot the shimmering secret tape. Just a quick tap (and maybe a grab for good measure) and that little piece of digital goodness is yours.
Remember: This might take a few tries, so don't get discouraged if you don't snag it on the first go. Practice makes perfect, and who knows, you might just grind out a sick combo while you're at it.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
Bonus Tip: Manual Mode for the Masters
Feeling fancy? Ditch the automatic grind and switch to manual mode. This will give you even more control over your board, allowing you to finesse that grind around the building with the grace of a gazelle (or maybe a particularly nimble hawk).
Just a heads up: Manual mode might require a bit more practice, but the bragging rights you'll earn are totally worth it.
