If you’re a veteran of the powerhouse franchise, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 offers plenty of nostalgia, down to the gap-based objectives like performing a Nosegrind around the Horn in the game’s second map, Canada.
While it can seem deceptively tricky, learning how to Nosegrind around the Horn is fairly simple. The first step is finding the spot in question, and the second is hitting your trick right so the game counts it as a Nosegrind. Here’s how you can complete that objective.
How to find the Horn in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4
The Horn is the tall tree with a hole in the middle on the frozen side of the map. It’s by the circular halfpipe encircling another, but the quickest way to get there is to turn around from where you spawn.
Drop from the first ramp, then get some distance and turn around. Speed toward the ramp and jump to a wooden ledge just across from you, then hit the brakes as soon as you touch the ground. Ollie, No Comply, and Boneless (used by pressing forward once/twice before jumping) can give you a little bit of height if you’re falling short.
After jumping on the first ledge, hop to another wooden path in front of you and either grind the rail or hold the down button to break your fall. Go through the hole in the tree, then turn around and find the small rail to the left side. You must grind this rail for a few seconds and land a Nosegrind with the Around The Horn gap to complete this objective. Hit the gap, land the combo, and cross this one off your list.

To make sure you’re hitting the Nosegrind, jump onto the rail using the front of your board. Usually, a simple forward + grind command works, but if you’re still landing a different trick, try to hit your grind head-on.
You need to hold the Nosegrind for around three to five seconds, which isn’t a lot of time. The Around The Horn gap will pop before you hit the ledge with the traffic cones, so it’s easy to bag two objectives for the price of one and keep on unlocking the new tracks. Rio is waiting, after all.
