Dead Rising | Dead Rising 2 |
The skateboard is a weapon and a form of transportation in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
It can be used to travel certain distances faster, or as a weapon to knock down zombies. However, it is recommended that the player avoids zombies if they are using a skateboard for travel, as it breaks after only four hits.
In Off the Record, the skateboard has a durability of 25 rather than 4, making it more practical for traveling. With both the Skateboarding and Games magazines, it has a total of 225 uses.
Having the skateboarding magazine allows Chuck or Frank to perform the ollie maneuver (jump) while riding.[1] The ollie is a skateboarding trick where the rider and the board leap into the air without the use of the rider's hands.
Magazine location:
- In Dead Rising 2, the magazine is located in the Fortune City Hotel, near the front entrance, on top of a coffee table opposite the bar, next to a water cooler (screenshot).
- In Off the Record, the magazine is located in the Ultimate Playhouse in the Palisades Mall, near the main counter next to a giant stuffed bull.

Trivia[]
- Unlike in Dead Rising, there is only one skateboard design in Dead Rising 2.
- Due to a physics bug in the remastered ports (Xbox One, PS4, and PC) of Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Chuck and Frank will not collide with the wall and get injured. Instead, the skateboard will hit the wall with Chuck and Frank not getting knocked over.
- There is a bug with the skateboarding magazine where if the player rides on their skateboard on a slightly elevated terrain with a nearby downward terrain and jump at the right moment, the jump height and air time from the jump will be significantly higher.
- Combined with these two bugs, one can climb very high on unintentional pieces of terrain and get out of the map. This is best done by going to the Royal Flush Plaza rooftop.
