Here is how to get all the hidden tapes:
Warehouse: Easy-as you start, right and head at an angle to the right, ollie up through the secret room, and its yours.
School: Head down the starting ramp, and when you get dow turn around and head left. There will be a turn on your left, go down it and on the left is a big ramp heading up. Go up it onto the roof of the school and turn left. In the centre is a small building/shed. Get up onto ut via on of the quarter pipes and look for a plank. Grind along it and head forward onto the ramp. Once you're there you will see the tape.
Mall: Head down the ramps and go past the conveyer belt, staying on the right. Soon you will come to a small ramp on the right just before a car. Grind the handrail, and ollie of it at the last second-your timing has to be perfect. You will fly through the air, then start grinding along the ceiling rail until you come to the tape. Time your ollie and you should be able to get the tape.
Downhill Jam: Now this is tricky. Head downhill for a bit until you come toa ramp on the left. Go up it and ollie onto pipe, which you then grind. Carry on and grind the pipe on the left. When you get off this you will be approaching a gap. Don't try ollying it-its too far. Instead grind along the wall on the left. Once you are across head to the left along the cliff face. Head past the billboard and complete another jump by grinding the wall. You will then approach some rails. Grind them, then jump for the tape.
Downtown Minneapolis: Take the first right and follow the road round the next corner. On the left at the next corner you will see a truck. You have to turn round the corner, turn round and skate up the truck and jump into a passage. By now you will be in a passage with grinding possibilities. When you come out of the passage there will be a wall in front with a gap slightly off to the right. Head for the gap and once you are through turn right, and pull a trick to build up speed. Then go as quickly as you can towards another gap and ollie across the road and onto the next building. You should now have the hidden tape.
San Franciso: This is the most frustrating to find but easy to do when you know how. The easiest way is this: Head right when you begin, and turn right at the bottom of the hill.Go past the cafe until the museum is on your right. Grind up the rail on the stairs. Head back down the rail and head for the small ramp in front of you. Notice that there is a ledge to the left. Pull a Japan Air an you should land on the ledge. You will need to practise this for a bit though, because you need to be facing the right way. Once you are on the ledge its easy. Follow the ledge round until you are on the roof. There will be a big ramp in front of you. Go up it and accelerate and then jump at the end of it. You will fall and grab the tape.
