Descenders

Bikeowwwwwt
You know how this goes. Bike Parks menu, select BikeOut 4, curse the day that RageSquid was born

This was definitely the hardest bikeout for me. A lot of the obstacles are timing based so trying to brute force your way through them can take a while. The hardest obstacles for me where the lower conveyor belt jump and riding over the rotating cylinder. Not hard, but took a lot of attempts. Build up speed and moon jump them. I did this in one "try", took me approximately 9 minutes. Just remember to use a bunch of spawn points after each obstacle using + . Be careful not to put a spawn point in a bad spot, or else you might have to start the whole level over. You can use this video as a guide.

Become A Master
Be the best in your team. Complete enough daily team objectives to be upgraded from Pro to Master

Same as but you only need 32 objectives, not 48 like the achievement.


So Long, Career+
Beat the Glaciers boss jump to officially beat Career+ Mode. Congratulations! Only a few more Descenders secrets left to find...

If you've never played career plus, This must be done in career mode, but it doesn't need to be a full run like the achievement. (You can start at glacier shortcut, can't be done on a Freeride seed).


It's Volcano, Not Volcan'to
Start a Career session from Highlands, and jump through all four fire rings and fire boss jumps without losing all your lives. Volcano awaits you at the end.

Because there is no shortcut to volcano, you must do a full volcano run, fire nodes and all, highlands to peaks. This can not be done in freeride. This achievement is known to unlock when you reach volcano world. This challenge however, requires you to complete the volcano boss jump. The good news is the volcano jump isn't actually that hard, just reaching it is.

Place In The Top 10 On Daily Challenge
Prove your worth. Place in the top 10 on the leaderboards in any Daily Challenge

So it seems like you can easily unlock this by looking at the friends leaderboard. After posting a score, go to standings -> leaderboards -> All Teams , Daily Challenge (today) and press to view your scores compared to your friends. I had a friend appear on the leaderboard, not sure if this matters. Thank you to PHT999 for this info.

Biggest tip for this is to start your run early in the night. The leaderboard scores at the end of the day are crazy high. I'm on the east coast USA and for me the reset is at midnight. I assume this is not the same for everyone. To find your time, you can attempt the daily challenge then try to start it again. You will see the cooldown time.

I finished with a score of 61,983. This was around 2 hours after the reset. I did a full run from highlands to peaks. I skipped the highlands and forest boss jumps. You can try these for a good amount of REP. Best way to rack up REP is to get 3x combo highspeeds. These are easy to get lots of points and are relatively safe. You can also try tricking on safer ramps, but you don't want to burn up your lives. Finishing the final boss jump is worth a lot of bonus REP.

* There isn't much more to add. I assume if you are attempting this achievement, you have played the game a lot and have attempted the golden run more than a few times. Going highlands to peaks with crashes allowed is so easy compared to that. *

For reference here is the leaderboard scores from when I placed top 10, compared to the final scores that same day.

----- 2 hours after reset ----- end of day
1. ----- 191,324 ----- 340,352
2. ----- 150,148 ----- 290,551
3. ----- 136,793 ----- 220,026
4. ----- 74,270 ----- 191,324
5. ----- 69,997 ----- 150,148
6. ----- 61,983 (me) ----- 145,680
7. ----- 59,214 ----- 136,793
8. ----- 48,180 ----- 120,981
9. ----- 48,042 ----- 114,055
10. ----- 47,869 ----- 104,719

It is easy to see how important it is to start early.


Shiprekt
Have you visited Descenders Island from the Bike Parks menu yet? There's a secret gap waiting for you there...

You must follow the red trail. Eventually you will reach the boat. You jump onto the boat, then jump off the sand pile on the other end, onto the land. The Gap is this boat sand to land jump.

Unlock Shortcut To Glaciers
Chill out! In Career+ Mode, finish the Favela boss jump three times, each time completing the bonus objective. You'll unlock a shortcut to Glaciers for your efforts!

I had never bothered to do the career + shortcuts so I did not have this completed retroactively. This is not too bad because you can sort of cheese it. When you go off the ramp, you can trick and then tap the head of the statue. So long as the objective turns green, you can then just drive around the statue jump and get progress.
