How to lip trick near the pirate in THPS 3+4

How do you lip trick near the pirate in THPS 3+4? You must be fantastic at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 if you've found this guide, because that means you've unlocked the pro challenges. For an expert like yourself, you should have no problem taking down most of these goals, though there are some tricky ones that will catch you off guard.

Skater Island in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 features a docked pirate ship, complete with a surprise cameo from Bikini Bottom with the hidden Spongebob level. There are plenty of secrets on this level, including a pirate who desperately needs to be impressed with a sweet lip trick in the skateboard game.

Though the skate park on Skater Island is the perfect place to rack up a high score, if you take a detour through either of the massive holes in the wall, there's an entire pirate ship waiting to be explored. The platinum goal on Skater Island requires you to head to the pirate ship, then line yourself up with the ramp pointing towards the stern.

The pirate in question might be difficult for some people to find because they aren't actually alive. If you look underneath the main topsail, you will spot a skeleton wearing a pirate hat—that's the person you have to perform the lip trick near. You don't need to land the trick right next to the pirate, but you will need to trigger the 'Look Out Below!' gap.

The best part is that, unlike the Sack Tap through the slime goal on the Pinball level, you don't need to perform an obscure lip trick that you rarely ever use. You can perform any lip trick you like during this challenge; just be careful, as you need to land the combo to complete the challenge.

With this information, it won't take long before you complete the lip trick near the pirate challenge in THPS 3+4. While you're here, you should check out our unlock all characters guide to find out if you're missing any legendary skaters in the sports game.
