How to unlock the Getting Dizzy achievement in Descenders - Definitive Guide

Sounds complex, but rather easy to pull off with the right conditions. Begin a Career session on any world you prefer, but I suggest Highlands (or Desert if you have Career+ unlocked).

Play through a few tracks and make sure to pull off tricks and slides with the right thumbstick to score rep. The goal is to unlock a couple crew members that give you perks to make the trick much easier to complete.

You unlock a crew member at 1,000 rep and another at 4,000 rep which is easy to rack up in one or two levels. You get a choice between four random perks, so if you don't get good perks, just end the session and give it another go. The crew member perks you want are:

Landing Impact
Spin Speed

Optional:
Bunny Hop
In-Air Correction

Once you get the crew member perks, choose a track with a high stunt and steepness rating. Next, ride through the track until you find a suitable ramp (or hill off of the track) to get enough air to pull off the 720 backflip. As soon as you take off of a jump, hold back and either to the right or left on the right thumbstick. In relation to a compass, hold the control stick to SW or SE. Once you do the flips and spins, level out your bike and land as best you can.

May take a few attempts, but using my guidelines should make it no sweat.

I've nailed this twice and still hadn't popped. Only achievement I've had issues with popping thus far.

To confirm it does work on highlands boss jump with any set of crew members... that is so long as you don't get hung up on the bleeping ring of fire...

Ran through 26 of my 28 lives... but i got it!

Can also be done with an old broken ass controller.

Has anyone tried this on the bouncy house on Mt. Palome or whatever its called?

Easily done on the Highlands boss stage without any crew member upgrades. Then try to avoid the finish line and cycle back to the hill (or crash) to get the other stunt related achievements.

EDIT: Actually you can just press B to get back to the previous checkpoint without losing a life.

I just earned this with a tweaked double backflip 900 on the Highlands boss stage so over rotating is fine. I lost track of my spins lol.

I highly recommend doing this trick on the hidden level "Mega Ramp" on forest, this can be found on one of the edge nodes. You get more than enough height on the first jump, and all you need to do is hold the left analogue stick to SW or SE.

I’ve landed 720 double backflip and 900 double backflip several times and can’t get it to pop. Have stopped afterwards to verify points add as well as comboing to finish.

You cannot get this (any) achievement to pop on Mega Ramp anymore.

I unlocked it on Mega Ramp. My character landed backwards and didn’t stick the landing but the achievement popped anyhow.

I can not get enough rotation. I can do 360 double backflips or a 720 single backflip. But I don’t have enough rotation for both

The Mega Ramp is by far the easiest way to get this achievement.

In relation to a clock, the control stick position should be held between 4 and 5, or 7 and 8 depending which direction you choose to do a 720. Once you do the flips and spins, level out your bike and land as best you can.

I took this trophy at the Forest location in the bonus level. It seems like you don’t even have to land, just hold the left stick back and to the left (diagonally). Do a half back flip 4 times and the trophy is yours.
