THPS 1 + 2: How To Bluntside The Awning

This one caused no end of confusion back in the day, and it may leave you scratching your head now.

The challenge is found in the Philadelphia level and requires you to use a grind trick called a Bluntside in a certain spot.

The trouble is that by default, players don't have the required trick equipped.

That means you'll want to unlock said trick in the shop and assign it to one of your special move slots.

Then, you'll want to build up your special meter and use it to pull off the trick at the required spot.

If you can't find the awning, don't forget that you can head into the menu and get a refresher on where all the checklist items are.

Happy... er... bluntsiding, we guess?
