How to Speed Glitch in Skate 4: Best Methods and Tricks

There’s nothing more exciting than breaking another speed limit in Skate 4. If you’re well familiar with the Skate series, then you should be aware of the Superdude glitch that allowed you to overcome the physics of the game and reach unbelievable speed while skating. This guide will provide you with some of the best speed glitches in Skate 4, including:

• Classic Speed Glitch
• Spread Eagle Chain Glitch
• Grab Spin Glitch
• One-Foot Manual Clip Glitch
• Backwheel Manual Turning Glitch

Classic Speed Glitch

This method works only downhill or on flats. It’s super easy but still requires good timing on releases. Here’s how you do it:

1. Get some speed either by pushing off or rolling downhill.
2. Do a 180 spin with a flick of the left stick.
3. Then without any delay, grab both triggers, LT/L2 + RT/R2 + B/Circle, for double grab.
4. Release all inputs immediately after you land, but do not continue to hold through the landing.

If you did it right, you should have a huge boost in speed, commonly faster than even the cars. You can stack it up by repeating it while you’re moving. Also, make sure that your skater height is medium, and set the minimum pop height to 100%.

Spread Eagle Chain Glitch

This method connects grabs for speed without bailing as often. This is a great trick for long sessions, and here’s what you need to do to achieve it:

1. Trigger Ollie by pressing down-up on the left stick and speed up.
2. In the air, flick the left stick for a 180 or 360 spin.
3. When grabbing, use both hands by pressing LT/RT + A/X for the spread eagle pose.
4. Land and trigger Ollie again into the next chain.

You can repeat the chain at least three times until you build up your speed exponentially. You can do this on flat ground or small inclines, but the bigger the drop, the harder it is to control the direction.

Grab Spin Glitch

This method is good for huge airs or launching off a ramp. It’s a pretty tricky one, but when done right, the grab can take you really far. Here’s how:

1. Approach a quarter pipe or ramp.
2. Trigger Ollie off of it, then press LT/RT + left stick down for the grab.
3. Spin 180/360 in the air.
4. Tuck the board and release when starting to land.

Note that this speed glitch works on all heights, but taller skaters can get higher airs. If your tuck jump fails, it is likely due to not tucking the board at the right time.

One-Foot Manual Clip Glitch

If you manage to do this glitch, then you will literally clip through objects and gain the so-called ‘teleport” speed, moving through entire buildings.

1. Roll into any edge or wall at a moderate speed.
2. Spam Y/Triangle for manual mode while popping into a one-foot grab by pressing RT + right stick flick.
3. Lean forward as if you’re trying to clip through the surface.

As a result, you should be speed bursting and phasing through barriers. You can also combine this glitch with a roll, especially in a PvP.

Backwheel Manual Turning Glitch

This backwheel glitch isn’t actually as hard as it may sound at first, so be sure to try it out, as it works every time once you get it:

1. Jump on board and lift yourself off the ground.
2. Turn 90 degrees, and using the right stick in manual mode, aim the rear trucks toward the ground.
3. Turn back forwards when you touch down again.
4. Shift the right stick to the side so that the board remains in manual mode while rotating back in the direction you are traveling.

This combo should launch you into a rocket slide without too much effort.
