Earn 100 Kudos by performing an Endo with a motorcycle - 20G

This is where it starts to get a bit trickier. Find a track with a nice long straight (Las Vegas) and just keep trying. Get as much speed as you can then brake and push forward on the left stick. You might need to pulse it or else you’ll go over the handlebars. Once you have 100 it will unlock. This must be 100 Kudos for the Endo and can’t be comboed (is that a real word?) with anything else.

From the main menu select ‘Options’, ‘Cheat’ then toggle ‘T.V. Cameras’ on by pressing the X button.  Go back to the main menu and start a custom match.  You’ll get the achievement as soon as you start the race.  Remember to turn the cheat off afterwards too unless you actually want to race like that!

Complete a lap of the Michelin Test Track ‘figure of 8′ while sliding - 20G

Although this one takes a bit of pactice it certainly is possible but you must have unlocked the Michelin test track from the Career mode first.

So, assuming you have the Michelin test track unlocked you need to go there and select Skid Pan. I chose the Triumph Speed Triple bike for this challenge but a tail-happy car might be better. What you have to know is that you don’t actually have to slide the entire figure of eight. You have to slide a combo for the entire figure of eight so small gaps are allowed so long as you keep the combo going. As soon as it flashes ‘figure of eight’ on the screen stop the vehicle so you don’t hit a cone and lose the combo.

Buy the K1,000,000 gamer picture to earn this Achievement - 20G

Let’s clear one thing up straight away. This achievement is purchased using in-game Kudos. You don’t need to spend any real money. Anyway, Exhaulted was the first person I knew to get the gamer picture and it looks beautiful.

Exhaulted recommends the career mode for maximum Kudos and resisting any purchases you don’t need until you have the gamer picture. It only took him 5 days!

have now got the gamerpic myself. It took a while but, as Exhaulted recommends, going through the career mode is the way to get maximum Kudos for your time. If you go through on Easy it will be, erm, easy.

Complete a Hot Lap event in Arcade mode without touching your brake - 25G

I did this on the first attempt using the 5th event of the Flatout arcade chapter. You need to do a complete lap with no braking, handbrake or barrier collision. Set the level to Steel and you should have plenty of time. Just remember to ease off the accelerator a long way before the corners.

Play all 3 Test Track disciplines and set a score in each one - 10G

About half-way through the career mode on your way to the top spot you will unlock the Michelin test track. This is selectable from the Career menu. Simply enter the test track menu and set a score, any score, in each of the 3 disciplines (Skid pan, speed test and track test).

Get two bikes facing each other, 15 metres apart, with each performing an impressive endo - 10G

OK, here we go. A lot of people seem to be having trouble unlocking this one and I found it extremely tough. I tried for ages, split-screen, on a New York bridge to get this achievement with my son to no avail. No matter how fast and how impressive an endo it just would not unlock.

I actually got this on the Michelin test track, split-screen, when we were just playing around practising endos. I had a Ducati and my son had a BSA. We were, at the most, 50 metres apart, accelerated for a couple of seconds and then endoed. As we weren’t actually after the achievement I wasn’t really paying too much attention but we weren’t going very fast. I can’t confirm if this will work over Live.

Perform your first stunt on a bike - 5G

Pull a wheelie, wait for 100 Kudos in the centre of the screen then press the ‘B’ button. The rider will perform a stunt and you’ll get 5 easy Gs.

Knock off the wing mirrors on all of your opponents’ vehicles in a Single Player Street Race event - 20G

I spent absolutely ages trying to get this achievement before I read the requirements properly. It says ‘all of your opponents’ not 7! As soon as I realised this I setup a long Las Vegas race with 10 laps, gave myself the RUF Concept car and a single Steel AI the DMC-12. After constantly bashing and scraping along both sides of the Delorean the achievement eventually unlocked. Easy when you know how!
