Introduction
Welcome to skate.. There are a total of 44 achievements worth a total of 1000. It only requires one playthrough of Career to obtain all 30 offline achievements. Thankfully, there are no glitches that will prevent you from unlocking any achievements. There are 30 offline achievements worth 620 that will require some time, skill, and patience. It can and most likely will get frustrating at parts. There aren't any missable achievements because once you finish the career, you can continue playing and get any achievements you may have missed.
There are 14 online achievements worth 380, but all of them can be boosted for.
Step #1: Start Career
When you first start off, you will have to make your skater. You can always edit him/her later. Your next step is training, do all the tutorials, even the additional ones at the first skatepark. One down, 43 to go. In the first park where you start out, if you go in the center, you should see a fence leading into a huge pipe (where one of the tutorials is). Here, you should get a 10,000 point combo. This shouldn't be very hard depending on your skill. Just do a bunch of big tricks and link them together. Get the "Rocket Air" achievement here as well. Press down on the then hold then . If your stance is goofy do the same except hold down first, then . While you're here, you might as well save a replay and take three pictures, then upload them to your skate. reel.
Progress your way through the game, you should have the following achievements by the time you unlock the X-Games: "Skater of the Year", "Year's Best", "Pro Skater", "Hooked Up", "Headhunter", "Am Skater", "Rocket Man", "Flow and Style", "Access San Vanelona", "Afternoon Freeskater", "Footy=Fiction", "The Graduate", "Skate's Top Model", and "Exhibitionist". You should have a minimum of 120, if not more.
Step #2: X-Games
When you get to the X-Games, you will need to get Gold in both events: The Mega Ramp and the Street Event.If you already have the "Uninsurable" achievement skip this next step but if not, once you get gold in both events, stay there and start jumping off the Mega Ramp, literally trying to kill yourself, break as many bones as possible. You will have to have a total of 100 broken bones, and break each bone 10 times, which is the hard part.
Step #3: Career Mop Up
Now is the time to get the rest of the Career achievements you don't already have. Do all photo challenges, do all the film challenges, beat all the pros, earn all the milestones, unlock all locations, do all the tricks, own all the spots, beat all the challenges, beat all races, and beat all contests and/or any other missing achievements you don't have.
Step#4: Online
At this time you should have all the single player achievements. I estimate the online achievements alone will take about 15 hours. Choose what you want to do first: Ranked Trick Events or Ranked Races. I did Trick Events, but it doesn't really matter. Once you get 600 exp and reach Icon rank in either one, start playing the other. You might get two other achievements when going for this: "Online Addict"- complete 50 matches, and "You're a Winner"- win 20 ranked online games. Reach Icon rank in that as well. You will have a minimum of 1200 exp and you will have to get to 2000 exp to get another achievement. This is combined, not just in one playlist. Once you get a total of 2000 exp, you should have about 39 achievements worth a total of 960. The last 5 aren't too hard you must join an unranked online game, you don't even have to finish it. You must watch an online session on SkateTV.
In my opinion I found these last three achievements the hardest achievements in the game. You must win 3 consecutive ranked online games and then you must win 6 consecutive ranked online games. Once you do that, you should have 43/44 achievements with 990.
The last achievement is to get 20 reviews on a single uploaded video or picture. This can very annoying and it can be hard to find people to review your single photo/film. Use the Rate Videos Thread to find other people who can rate your video.
Conclusion
You should now have all 44 achievements with a total of 1000. skate. is a very enjoyable game to play. The 44 achievements aren't too bad, but it's no walk in the park either. It can and most likely will get frustrating at points, but when you get that last achievement, it feels great.
