Go through the Thrasher magazine challenges until you unlock the pros and get a board sponsor to almost double your earning on most events. To make the most use of this, place a maximum bet on the death races. If you do not win, restart and try again.

Once in Career mode, press Start button, then go to "Hall Of Meat" (it will be the last option). There should be four groups of challenges. Look at the first. It is based on points. Read the challenges and execute them until you have 15/15 completed for the first group. Then, go to a high place like S.V. Dam or Big Spill and do any glitch. If you get over 55,000 points you will get 10,000 dollars. Keep doing this until getting the desired amount of money.
