completing the Quagmire with Riptide | Forums

How do I get past the first obstacle on "The Quagmire"? I don't have the Berserker so I'm stuck with the Riptide (currently upgraded to 4/5/5/5)... is that even possible?

yes, it is possible. i pulled it off, but it was pretty ugly

first obstacle. back up a bit, then full lean back and accelerate at the mushroom. you should wheelie along the ramp, and at the end, lean forward. get your back tire on the mushroom, and try and ride up. if you do it right, catching yourself on the topside is easy.

second obstacle. i cant recall if you can just lean back the whole way and gun it onto the tiny wooden platform. if you cant, give it a bit of a hop. to get to the grass on the other side, i had to frontflip and drag my *** up to grab the checkpoint.

third obstacle. this one took me a bit to learn. drive up the top, then brake on the very top of the down side (before you hit the smooth ramp). full lean back and gun it down. hook your front tire around the pole and wrap around up top, then hop off with back tire.

fourth obstacle. not too bad, just figure out your lean timing and you should be able to get up.

fifth obstacle. either tap brake on the edge so you drop down really slow, or bounce of the wall and drop down to the ledge below. brake down there and set up for a hop, then cross to the next checkpoint.

sixth obstacle. big hop up top

seventh obstacle. back up a tad (not too far or you will fall off the round thing) then full gas and full back lean till your back tire is in the middle of the round thing, then lean forward to hop onto the incline ramp. regrip and stabilize at the bottom, then ride up and you will get over the log at the top. back tire bounce to get to the finish.

best of luck!
