    I had a tough time with this one, so I figured I'd record it. Like everyone else said, do the Downhill area. I don't recommend jumping; I didn't have any luck with it. Try to cut corners carefully without falling off. Don't despair if you don't get it at first...this isn't easy and the controls are absolutely awful.

    Friggin GreaseAs far as the awful controls, I found that by rotating the joystick when you're selecting your experience level, I could get them oriented right. Almost like calibrating or something.

    Bieber SheenisGod these were the worst controls ever. Once you figure out how backwards and touchy they are you'll be able to cut the corners consistently, but boy does that take a long time.

    Also, if the controls feel backwards before you go to the downhill, jump until your thumbstick direction actually matches the direction you're moving in.

    Choose training and go to ramp park level 1 (northwest). Then press A once, and just use your D-pad or left stick to control. You should make it in time to get the gold medal if you don't fall down.

    johnnyjohnathanI think what Sangriaz meant is to go to the park in the northwest of the map. It's called the downhill park. The ramp park is actually in the northeast of the map. The controls in this game are god awful, but after about 20 tries I finally got the gold medal. I think the trick is to start turning before you actually hit the next ramp on the way down, so that you land flat and it doesn't slow you down.

    Twits FuneralThis was actually my first achievement in the game, its quite simple to get on the downhill route. Just make sure you jump at every turn and land in the right direction. Also note that you have to start moving as soon as the game starts as the timer starts going before the tip disappears.

    Chose the downhill track on the top off the training level, just hit A before the jump and land in the direction of the next ramp took me 3 tries after playing others for 2 hrs lol

    PhxSuns1FanI would advise jumping cause it gives you more room for error and keeps your speed

    ZippDizzyI didn't jump also and it worked like a charm. Just make sure you hit corners of the ramp.
