* DidntThinkThisThrough: During the flashback of Clint Morris before he supposedly became the San Franpsycho, he breaks out of prison and evades his captors by jumping into the sea but didn't take the nearby {{Threatening Shark}}s into account. This proved to be a fatal mistake.

* HighHopesZeroTalent: Judge Rutie Banez was behind the monster, wanting to wreck the competition because she couldn't join. She alleges that it's because the Grind Games don't allow girls, but Ryan immediately shoots that down, pointing out that there were multiple female competitors. When asking Ryan the reason why they wouldn't let her in, it shows that she's a ''bad'' skateboarder. Even Shaggy and Daphne jokes that she needs 10 to 20 years of practice as she was taken away.

Added DiffLines:

The gang arrive in San Francisco to watch a young skateboarding friend, Ryan Sheckler, compete in the Grind Games, only for the competition to be disrupted by a ghastly, hook-handed figure that a local guide identifies as the ghost of a notorious Alcatraz inmate, Clint Morris, aka the San Franpsycho.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* TheBore: Julian, the local guide who helps the gang with research is prone to rattling off uncommonly known facts without regard for whether they're actually pertinent or interesting. Halfway through the episode, Velma snarks that there's a reason some facts are little known.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: Judge Rutie Banez was behind the monster, wanting to wreck the competition because she couldn't join. She alleges that it's because the Grind Games don't allow girls, but Ryan immediately shoots that down, pointing out that there were multiple female competitors. The actual reason becomes apparent when Ryan lends her his board to demonstrate her skills and she can't even stand up on it.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Fred has Velma rig a magnet hat that will attract the villain's hook hand. Unfortunately, the villain flips the switch, causing Fred to get magnetized to a truck and pulled away.
* HookHand: The San Franpsycho has a hook hand, which Fred tries to exploit with his trap.
* ThreateningShark: The episode makes use of the legend that San Francisco Bay is infested with sharks. One supposedly ate Clint Morris when he tried to escape Alcatraz, and a number attack the gang's boat.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: The suspect list includes a group of performing artists who claim the games are messing with their space. Their art involves painting themselves red and doing acrobatics for some reason.
* UnconventionalVehicleChase: During the musical chase scene, Daphne hijacks a rickshaw.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: One skateboarder, Rich Gurman, is attacked by the monster in the opening while doing a jump. His skateboard falls back to Earth, but he never does, and it's never shown what happened to him.
