How to Run Away From the Helicopter in "American Wasteland"
In "Tony Hawk's American Wasteland," your character, an amateur skateboarder, runs away from home to prove his skills in Los Angeles. Upon arrival, he joins a skate team, and his job is to collect parts and decorations for the team's park. A skater named Boone asks him to pick up a few new parts, and he wants the character to ride a helicopter around the city to do it.

Stop doing tricks when the skater says he has seen enough. Bank drop, or jump, off the roof and land on the couch. An icon appears on the map to show where the skate ranch is. Skate back to the ranch before the time runs out to run away from the helicopter and claim the couch for the ranch.
