The badges for the achievement are:
Finish 10 events in Diamond Bracket
Finish 10 events in Platinum Bracket
Finish 10 events in Gold Bracket
Finish 10 events in Silver Bracket
Compete in 50 Race Events
Compete in 50 Trick Events
Compete in 50 Survive Events
Compete in 50 Custom Events
Compete in an event with 50,000+ players
Join an event with a 1,000,000 credit drop (Must be done after getting badges for 10,000 and 100,000)
Earn 1,000,000 credits through Global Events overall

For Diamond Bracket wins simply create a custom event that is 10 minutes long, race/trick/survive in it, then you will get diamond. The progress for the badge doesnt count until the event is over and you have dashboarded and came back into the game.

As for Platinum-Silver Brackets you need to earn these legitimately through Global Events already in place. You can just join events and do your best and see what you get. The more people there are, the less that times/points will be spread apart from each bracket. My advice is to do survive events that are close to ending and die right after you earn the badge you want. For example: If Bronze is at 100m and silver is at 200m, get to 201m and die to earn silver. (Assuming nobody joins after that)

For competing in Race/Trick/Survive/Custom events I suggest playing a lot of events for your Bracket Badges. You can, though, boost these by creating custom events that are only 10 minutes long. The progress will count as soon as you create the event. There is no need to start it up, or even choose a character. Just go to Custom Event and create a Race or Trick and as soon as you see the character selection screen it will have counted so you can just back out. Survives can be created but only on tracks that have a survive event at all. You can have 3 custom events up and running at a time, which is why you make each one 10 minutes, so you dont have to wait too long.

For competing in an event with 50,000+ players, I regret to inform you that if you don't have it already then you probably can not get it. In the first week of launch there was an event that was a week long that managed to accumlate only 58,000 or so players before the event ended. Since this event is no longer running (and there appears to be no event like it that could accumulate that many people) it would appear that you can't get this badge if you don't have it. There is talk of getting the badge lowered/redone (considering on the PS3 the event never made it 50,000 before it ended) so I will keep this updated if that is the case.

For joining an event with a 1,000,000 credit drop you need to join the event AFTER you already have the badges for joining an event with 10,000 and the badge for 100,000. Basically what im saying is you need to get them in order otherwise you will waste the million credits. As of right now there is an event in the Himalayas that has a 1,000,000 credit drop Survive Event. It seems to be reaccuring and has a week long time limit.

For earning 1,000,000 credits in Global Events accumulatively you will probably get this over time. The higher the drop cost is, the more money you receive if you do well. If you really don't have this by the time you join the 1,000,000 credit drop event then doing even slightly well will earn you over 1,000,000, but i'm sure you will have it long before then.

Update: Joining any Global Event will get you the 50,000+ players since EA has unlocked this badge!

If you are having trouble with the one badge "Finish in a Diamond Bracket". One trick I used was to make a custom event set for 10 min (so you are not waiting around), play it and then you will automatically be put in diamond, wait for it to finish and receive your credits. Do this ten times and then dashboard and restart your game because the badge is awarded after the "while you were away screen". This also helps to complete the custom events badge.

This Guide Covers All Medals required for this achievement Look for the !!! label for easy navigation to the different solutions CTRL+F for an even easier navigation :D Good luck to everyone

Last update
NEW ZEALAND has the event with over 100k riders in it 5 days left till its over 5-2-12/5-7-12
!!!Solution to Grandmaster/Platinum!/Solid Gold/Dime
If your having troubles beasting the slopes then you could easily boost all the medals with friends. So you have 4 people to boost with (all must be on friends list of event creator)
***Person going for diamond bracket must goto Global Events>Browse Globe>Pick a region(Rockies)>Pick a slope(Whitehorn Mountain)>Choose a custom event +(JT2:Custom event)>Create Event>
+++SETTINGS+++
Event Type - Race/Trick, also adds to your Custom medals trick medal and race medals depending on what you pick.
Time left - 10-20 minutes
Event Drop Cost - Free
See Ghost Leader - Yes
Payout - Standard Bracket
Event open to - Friends only
Max Gear Level - Any
Wingsuit Allowed - Yes
Rewind Enabled - Yes
>Now finish with a good time>User going for Platinum Place just below Diamond>User Going For Gold place just below Platinum>User Going for Silver Place below Gold
+After 10 runs dashboard (Xbox home) and restart SSX (to see medal progression) You don't get the medal until the event finishes+

IMPORTANT - when the timer runs out on an event the bracket is sealed even if a user is in the race on the map.
(Medal type - Amount of friends required)
Diamond -1
Platinum - 2
Gold - 3
Silver - 4

!!!Solution to Somthing to Prove/All I want is tricky/Adrenaline Rush/User Knows Best
For these you can set up a custom event and work towards the 50 race or trick events simultaneously. For the survive events you can find a custom event that includes survive but you can also receive them from the EA placed Global events.
(To speed things up you can just start up the match and DNF, quit out instantly)
I'm also pretty sure you can just create the event then when you get to the character select you could just back out and that counts towards it.
You cannot do the same event twice you must wait till the time runs out on a custom event.

!!!Solution to Too Expensive
Simply just join a event that costs 1,000,000 Credits

!!!Solution to 50,000 members participating in the same event
(This solution would have to wait till they host a xbox free weekend)

Seeing as 15,000 people are in the biggest event on average
That leaves 35,000
Sooo...
If 1000 people make 35 silver accounts and raced them DNF/DNP works then we could "Boost this Achievement"

(amount of people) = (Amount of silver accounts each person would need)
100 = 350
500 = 70
1000 = 35
2000 = 18
3000 = 12
4000 = 9
5000 = 7

How about making some silver accounts for SSX?
This needs to be done before the online starts to die even further...
Call it what ever you want but this could be reachable with enough people dedicated.

*Unconfirmed*
EA said that an event will reach 50k riders every week from now on

Maybe we could get TA to send a message to every member who has played the game and/or make a TA gaming event to encourage players to play. Other websites would pick up on this and blam wildfire! 50,000 players in one event! :D

!!!Solution to Own the Planet
Also if you dont have an online pass you can goto a friends house and start up the game and earn those medals in a jiffy :D or purchase the online pass for 800 MSP

-WORK-AROUND for 100% WITHOUT ONLINE PASS-

Couldn't find this posted anywhere, so after figuring it out I thought I would post it here for anyone else with this problem...

The "Own The World" Badge CAN be obtained without purchasing a Online Pass. Solution is to join 3-2-1 Events.
The Money Earned from these is earned immediately and therefore isint deposited into your "global earnings".
There is usually a "Drop of the Day", which is free, and also should get regular hits from random players.

Hope this helps anyone thinking they had to spend $10 more on this game to complete it.
