Secret skaters in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 explained

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater wouldn't be a proper Tony Hawk's game if there weren't a couple of secret skaters waiting to be discovered.

Secret skaters are characters that can only be unlocked and played as if you managed to complete a certain challenge or challenges in-game. Once you've achieved this, you'll be able to play as these skaters whenever you like.

One of these secret skaters even resembles a certain actor.

How to unlock skater's outfits in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2

With exceptions, every skater in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has two outfits that can be unlocked by completing two different challenges while playing as them; exactly which challenges you need to complete depends on which character you wish to unlock outfits for.

There are three different sets of outfit challenges available and each set consists of two individual challenges, with each skater being assigned to a specific set.

It's important to note that you must have game mods disabled if you wish to complete the majority of these challenges. The only skaters that don't have any outfits challenges are the secret skaters and The Ripper who is a deluxe edition exclusive.

You can find the outfit challenges in the Skater Challenge sections.

Deluxe edition owners should also know that the retro outfits for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen are automatically unlocked when you start the game, so you don't need to complete any challenges to receive these outfits.

Below you'll can discover which skaters have been assigned to which outfit challenge set:
