    QC, you already had it on HD right? Do you think it's easier to get in TEGE, since the bikes are more forgiving and the engine allows for less face plants due to surfaces being less iffy?

    edit: congrats man!

    Thanks, yes I had the original and yes I found it easier this time around, some tracks (the breakdown comes to mind) and physics seem more forgiving and I know the games every nook and cranny but overall it just wasn't as intimidating this time around, still took a few tries though. My first run was a 5 faulter, then right after I did ii in 2, and did 1 fault in the same hour but then the 0 took two more days.

    Congrats man. I only just got through all tracks last night and yeah I noticed very small differences in the tracks and bikes that make your approach a little different but you can pretty much ride the same way. I want this but it'll take me a while.. I was happy to take a few time off you over the last few days but now i've realised that it's prob because you were focussin on this cheevo

    I figured as much. I remember cursing every physics based tracks in HD, but now I have more problems with pure trials ones, like Concrete dream (damn, a fly lands on your head, fault...) those two times where you have to keep your head down are brutal.

    I had the revised achievement in HD, but I think that with some practice, I may go for it. Il will take some doing though.

    Re: Marathon achievement.

    Greetings,

    Congratulations.

    There a few tracks I need to nail before I even attempt the tournament, for some strange reason there are times I can get past bits I was previously having bother with and others get stuck there for like 10 faults. Annoying!

    If that can be of any help to people gunning for this achievement, do not underestimate any track, especially the easiest ones, they are often the ones we botch up. I speak from experience
