Skate Park Tutorial#

A very strange mode, but the one that the developers experimented with in TLAD. It was supposed to be about the player perform certain tricks in a skate park, apparently on a bike.

Press ''PAD_LB'' for skate park tutorial.
You must reach up and get in the zone for a pass.
You must hit both sides of the ramp for a pass.
Drive though the coronas in the sky. Land and stop on coronas close to the ground.
You must land and stop on the blue box for a pass.
You got it!
Well done! All Completed
You broke the bike. 

Undoubtedly, this mode is a checkpoint challenge from previous parts of Grand Theft Auto, but why it was tested only in TLAD is known only by the developers. Any other functionality from this mode has not been found at the moment, all that testifies to its existence is text leftovers and nothing more.

Liberty City Hardcore#

  • T182_565 = Zit! Spotted DRIVE BY AUDIO: Jailbait

It should be noted that Jazz Nation Radio does not get new music with The Lost and Damned hinting that a new track list was planned, but dropped, as one of the radio stations to be updated by downloadable content.

(Source: JNR, LRR, and Radio Broker on Grand Theft Wiki)

Jailbait by Drive By Audio is only in the downloadable Xbox 360 version and was cut from Episodes from Liberty City. A track spotted GXT string for the song can still be found in Episodes from Liberty City. The song was recorded as an exclusive single for the DLC, but was removed from the Playstation 3 and PC EFLC versions. The DLC version of the radio loop for TLAD's LCHC has some banter by Max Cavalera at the end of the radio loop segueing into IV's content, this is not present in EFLC due to it's standalone status - the song simply fades out before looping. Statik Selektah on The Beat 102.7 has a similar segue to the vanilla station, advertising Mister Cee's show, creating an oddity on the standalone version as it instead loops back to Funk Flex's segment.
