THPS 3+4: How to Eliminate the Rude Dudes (San Francisco Pro Challenge)

Upon finishing all standard objectives in the nineteen levels of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, players will gain access to Pro Goals, which consist of five additional objectives designed to challenge their skating prowess. One such Pro Goal in the San Francisco level, the second stage of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 Skate Tour, requires players to eliminate the disruptive Rude Dudes located near the main dock.

Your instinct might be to dive straight into the water near them; however, THPS 3+4 players need to locate some Bird Seed in the vicinity to sprinkle around the Rude Dudes. This guide outlines how to achieve the Get Rid Of The Rude Dudes pro goal within THPS 3+4‘s San Francisco level, along with the location of the required Bird Seed.

Strategies To Eliminate The Rude Dudes In San Francisco

The Rude Dudes are located near the main pier in the San Francisco level, perched on floating boxes and creating a disturbance for fishermen on the docks. If you leap directly off the pier towards them, the game will prompt you to «take the high ground.»

This message suggests that players should look for a wire overhead that can be grinded, but first, you need to find the Bird Seed.

Your Initial Task: Obtain Bird Seed By Scaring Off Birds

From the entrance to the main pier, skate straight ahead until you spot a bowl encased in glass panels on your right, just before reaching the end of the dock. There will be a woman there with a small bag at her feet. Enter the bowl and perform grinds on all four rails surrounding the half pipes to scare the birds away. Once you have successfully frightened away all the birds, you can collect the Bird Seed.

Grind The Wire Above The Rude Dudes From The Upper Level Of The Pier

After picking up the Bird Seed, players should return to the pier entrance, face the pier, and then take the first left ramp to ascend to the top level. Head towards the building, and you will find the Rude Dudes on your left. Look forward, and you’ll notice a wire extending across the space above them.

To successfully complete the Get Rid of the Rude Dudes pro goal, players need to grind this wire while holding the Bird Seed. Start from a distance, build up enough speed, and use a Boneless trick to reach the wire (alternatively, Wallride and then jump onto the wire if timed well).

If executed properly, you will grind across the gap, disperse the birdseed onto the Rude Dudes, and witness a comical cutscene featuring the Rude Dudes being swarmed by a flock of seagulls.
