Rear wheel bounce contract is a joke. | Forums

[OLD_RockMan]

I have no trouble bouncing across a straight gap, but to drop down then bounce up is nearly impossible for me. I do not use the trigger controls as it is too difficult for me that way. My main problem is I can't seem to bounce high enough to get on the platform from the lower sections in the C area. On top of that the bike keeps rotating a full 180+ and I often hit my back. Maybe it's just the Xbox controller, or maybe it's just me. 90% of the time I can only get half a load on the rear suspension. It is so frustrating that it takes me 20min and 100+ faults just to reach B1. So there is no chance for me to get there in 2min. It took 45min and 450 faults to get A+ yeah I know I suck at this technique, and after 10 years I still have trouble with it. This might just be another contract for me to forget about completing.

OMG I finally did that contract. Nearly lost what little hair I have left on that one. Now my blood pressure can go back to normal.

Well done. I'm guessing you maybe didn't get a spot on the LB with that time? With more practice I'm sure you'll get better, and there are some obstacles in the latest DLC's Extreme tracks which use the rear wheel bounce. Same goes for consecutive bunny hops, that tutorial helps with certain tracks, like the end of the South American Extreme track in the new DLC.

I don't bother much with the LB. My goal is the same as it has been since Trials HD, and that is to complete the track or challenge. That being said, I know I won't be unlocking the ninjas. I doubt I will get all golds for that, though I do want a try at some ninja tracks, just for the fun of it.

I am down to the extremes now, to complete that is, other than that it's all contracts and challengers that remain. I am in no hurry to finish those.

One thing I can't figure out is in the University or Trials tutorials. In the video tutorial for rear wheel bounce, FatShady says if you get A+ in all of them you get the graduation cap accessory. If so, where is it? I have A+ on all 12 but did not get it. It's not important but I would like my reward.

Gold on Inferno is probably the hardest to unlock the Ninjas. Use the Helium for Inferno. If you do get them unlocked, the first ninja track isn't all that difficult, and is quite short.

Have you found Zzzzzach's (spelling?) tracks on Track Central? He's one of the best creators, his stuff is top quality, and he often does two versions of his tracks for Extreme and Ninja. You could try those. Search for highest ranked Extremes and you should find them, or search for Penrose which is one of his, and find the rest that way.

I didn't get A+ on the final skill event.

[OLD_RockMan]

A+ on the time trials was a bit challenging. The time to beat is 30.8 seconds, I was always hitting 31.1-31.5 but kept at it until I hit 30.791 just 0.009 seconds under the A+ time.

GG OLD_RockMan! And u should definitely give the Ninjas a try once you unlock them. Also, as Scruffy pointed out, tracks that allow the Helium are the best, since the Helium works great for Extreme and Ninja tracks (i.e. its much easier to Rear Wheel Bounce for instance). And along with ZZZZZZach, BigKikoo_ makes sine some really great, accessible Extremes that are good for practicing Also, are you making anymore tracks? Really enjoyed ur previous work and been looking forward to any new ones u put out

[OLD_RockMan]

It will be a very long time until I unlock the ninjas. Would have been nice to just unlock them after completing all tracks instead of getting gold on them. It won't kill me if I never unlock them, it's not like they are of importance for progression.

I had to click on the reward in ubisoft club to get it. Had that same question after getting all A+, but I stumbled across it accidentally while checking out my challenges n stuff.

I'm glad that you ended up conquering this contact OP! Even if it was difficult, I appreciate your feedback that you shared here with us as well.

Great job, and congratulations!
