The City of Angels takes center stage as the seventh level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. Remastered with modern visuals and retaining its nostalgic charm, Los Angeles is not just a visual treat—it’s a challenge-packed level with creative goals and well-hidden secrets. Here’s everything you need to skate your way to 100% completion.
Score Big: High Score, Pro Score & Sick Score
To progress, you’ll need to hit key point thresholds:
- High Score: 100,000
- Pro Score: 190,000
- Sick Score: 400,000
- High Combo: 40,000
Use grinds, manuals, and vert tricks around the central skatepark and fountain area to chain long combos. Incorporate special tricks like the One Foot Japan to stack big points quickly.
Collect S-K-A-T-E and Trigger the Earthquake
Collecting S-K-A-T-E remains a core objective. The letters are strategically scattered from the right side of the start point to the skatepark. Be sure to explore rails, stairs, and ramps thoroughly.
Start the Earthquake: One of the most iconic goals in the level. Grind four red-highlighted rails surrounding the main building:
- Western Rail: Inside the building
- Southern Rail: Outside, near the left wall
- Northern Rail: Looping back toward the start
- Eastern Rail: Going downhill from the level entrance
Triggering all four causes a cinematic earthquake, dramatically changing the map layout and unlocking new challenges.

Secret Tape, Hidden Deck, and Iconic Collectibles
After the earthquake, head left from the spawn and grind the wire to reach the damaged freeway. From here, leap onto buildings and find:
- Secret Tape: Grind a ladder, transfer to a pole—well-hidden and high above
- Hidden Deck: Near the “Goldenvoice Presents” theater billboard
- Iron Galaxy Logo: Unlock the sunroof by grinding three trick-labeled rails on the glass building’s second floor
These collectibles reward exploration and expert rail transfers, offering a satisfying challenge even for veteran players.
Bonus Objectives: One Foot Japan and Free Ballin’
- One Foot Japan the Tower Poppin’ Transfer: Near the glass fountain building, transfer between ramps using the Up + Left + Circle/B input.
- Free Ballin’: Knock two balls loose in the skatepark. Simply run into them to complete the task.
- Stop the Car Chase: After the earthquake, grind up the wires and drop onto the broken highway to knock the dangling car off its perch.
Conclusion: Master LA with Style
The Los Angeles level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 brings beauty, chaos, and challenge. From the earthquake event to hidden rooftop secrets, every rail, ramp, and rooftop offers something new.
