Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 has arrived, packing two more iconic skateboarding games together. It follows the same format as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, giving you a set of goals to achieve on a variety of different levels, all before a two-minute timer runs out. One of the goals that appears in every park, not including the competition levels, is collecting the letters to S-K-A-T-E. These are typically spread throughout a park, and you need to collect all five in a single run to accomplish the goal. Here’s where you can find all five letters in the first THPS 4 level, College. Note that the location of each letter is described based on the one before it, so you can quickly go from one to the next and grab them all before the timer expires.
You can change the run timer in the options section, under game mods, if you want more time to complete challenges. You do not need to collect the letters in order.
More THPS 3 + 4 S-K-A-T-E guides:
Skate – A
From the start of College, head directly right down the street to find A above two stacked shipping containers, with a ramp on one side. Head up the ramp, use R2/RT to drop down into the open container on top, and you will head up the ramp on the other side and grab the letter.
Skate – T
Continue following the map down the right side until you reach the large dorms in the back corner. Across from the dorm building is a mural on a ramp, with the letter T floating above it.
Skate – E
Once you land from the mural jump, you will be facing a ramp with the school’s chicken mascot painted on it. Head up and use R2/RT to land on the upper balcony, then head to the right to grab the letter E.
Skate – S
From here, head directly across the park to the other end of the level, where you can find Woodland School. The letter S is located above the main doors, and can be reached by grinding on one of the four rails leading towards the door and doing an ollie to reach the letter.
Skate – K
Finally, leave Woodland School by following the road in the direction of the start of the level. Before taking a left back towards the start, head into the parking garage in the corner. On the second level, grind across the flags heading towards the letter K to grab it.
