    The video below will show you the location on the map where you can jump over 200 yards (182.88 meters) through a Billboard to unlock the achievement.

    This can be done with several cars if you get enough speed.

    StarshadeFPS201yards with the Porsche Carerra S with easy Nitro mod. Took me a while to get this. It was easier to hit A twice going up the ramp like in the video.

    There are 156 billboards scattered all across Fairhaven. There should be at least a couple where you can get the distance required.

    First, you'll want to have a car that's light, and has decent acceleration & top speed. Try to win a few events and earn upgrades for your car. I have long gears and Power Shot nitrous.

    Find The Beltway shown in the minimap above. There's a giant structure of two glass rings with billboards on each one. Give yourself plenty of room to gain speed starting from Gunderson Avenue South. When you get close to the billboard, hit the nitrous. When you land, it'll tell you the distance you jumped. I hit around 130 MPH on my run and that was enough for the achievement.

    You can't get it if you crash, but on my run in the video below, I think my wheels touched the ground before hitting the wall, so that's why it unlocked for me.

    KillrNutAs long as you land the jump before crashing, you'll unlock the achievement.

    Nice solution.

    This achievement can be done with many cars although it is recommended that you use a fast, light vehicle, like the Ariel Atom. Nitrous will help too.

    From here, you'll want to approach the glass rings located near the middle of the map (view the video for the location). Now you'll just want to set yourself up by driving down the road, and turning around to gain lots of speed, aiming for the billboard, keeping left. Deploy nitrous at the very end to go even further. Once you land, it'll show you the distance, and hopefully give you the achievement.

    Keep trying until you get it.
