Once you get the spiral piece from the radio tower, you can get a major combo on it by standing in the middle and doing a manual. Whenever you are about to fall, just jump and you will be launched straight up into the air, where you can do some awesome aerial moves. Then when you land, continue to manual.
Van's Skate Park: ElectrocutionGo around to where the sign that says to dismount is located. There is a electrical box that serves as a ramp. Climb up to the top and get off your board. There is a pole on top that you can see electricity flowing through. Hit it with your board and you will see your character get shocked, and you will restart on the ground.
