How to unlock the Heart Of Gold achievement

    In Survive It, medals are awarded due to how far down the run you make it. If you make it to the bottom, you get to start at the top and do it again.

    While this can be done on any run, I would recommend Mount Robson in the Rockies. Furthermore, it would be good practice if you already had:

    A gold medal on Mount Robson is two complete runs down the mountain, followed by a small fraction of a third run. As mentioned above, if you can make it down once without armor, managing it twice with armor is much more doable. Take it carefully, there's no need for Tricky or boosting since your biggest enemy is the trees.

    Starting on your second run, the lower half of the mountain gets covered in snow and it's difficult to see. Stay calm, and remember that when it happens, you're likely about to run into a pattern of three fallen trees to quickly jump over.

    EDIT: From Calex dEUS, using a low level board helps, as it goes slower; some runs, going faster will simply ruin you. Additionally, using the cn_A button to jump as opposed to the right stick is easier.

    Calex dEUSUsing a low level board here really helps, I optimised on my 1st run and got destroyed as it was too fast.

    2nd try I picked the worst board I had and did it with ease as it was much slower :D

    Calex dEUSAlso to add using the A button to jump and not the right stick also made it easier.

    MugenKairoIt doesn't specify which mode it needs to be done in, is that important? I've heard it must be done in Explorer mode.
