    Note: This code is useful, but has a lot of glitches. Some missions may glitch, when they do just hit the "Kill" button and the board should reset. Whenever you die, hold Left or Right and tap the car jacking button; Run + Fire to resurrection your dead body. You can walk on water, and when you do you cannot get busted by the cops. You also are immune to electric shock and fire. The default "Kill" button is set on the brake button; R1. If you want to stop the vehicle just tap the brake button, do not hold it down.
