Here is my trophy guide

INTRO

This video was made with the intention of showing the way I did my run for those who want to see it done from different perspective. Keep in mind that other than the boss ramps themselves, your seeding will be different than mine but the style and approach (and timing) are generally the same. Also, if going for 100% (DLC trophy "RageSquid Pro Tour"), you will need to get to ridges on career+, meaning you must go through all fire rings. (fire ring for ridges not required). So combining the two is recommended.

NOTES

1. Bike style: TJ DH12 (most stability)

2. Crew members: you can have up to 10 crew members but it's not necessary for this trophy as it gets harder over time and the point is to finish without bails so you want to play the minimal amount of races as possible. But you can easily unlock 6 before finishing the first area and since you'll want to collect as many lives in the first area, you mind as well go for both. My suggestions are "Landing Impact," "Smoother Curves," "Wider Path," "Spin Speed," "In Air Correction" and "Speed Wobbles."

3. Desert - you'll want to take the time here to build rep and earn lives. It's critical to advance with 10+ lives, ideally much more. For the boss ramp fire ring, scale up the pyramid from the ramp and bunny hop over the ring and bunny hop again (if needed) onto the down ramp. Difficulty 1/4.

4. Jungle - Make sure to utilize your brakes a lot. For most of the mini boss ramps, it's generally easier to do them than try and ride around but if you can go around, then do so. (Refer to bunny hop note below to increase likelihood of success). For boss ramp fire ring, you may or may not need to accelerate from last checkpoint. The harder part is getting in the ring rather than landing so just keep working on the right location you are jumping off the ramp. Regardless, you usually do not need to bunny hop for this one. Difficulty 2/4.

5. Favela- this area is the hardest in my opinion because of the enclosed spaces. You're much more likely to lose a lot of lives here than anywhere else. If you're unfamiliar with the races here, go slow often, and restart from last checkpoint if you can't go around mini boss ramps. For the boss ramp fire ring, you'll need to accelerate, bunny hop and land on the end ramp really well here so make sure you have plenty of lives to practice. I suggest it doing this way rather than practicing in freestyle because you'll have better muscle memory doing it in the run rather than freestyle, desert and forest before doing the real thing. So be sure to have a lot of lives. Difficulty 4/4.

6. Glaciers - similar to Jungle but a bit faster because of the ice. It should be easier than Favela and that's what is helpful. Like Peaks, watch out for gap stunts, marked by 2 white poles with green or blue markings. Keep in mind that if you see green, YOU MUST JUMP. So be sure you have enough speed and know how to bunny hop! For the boss ramp fire ring, it'll be similar to Favela but much easier. Difficulty 3/4.

7. Ridges - the path is super narrow, even with wider path modifier on so be sure to take your time. Vision is bad here too. For the boss ramp, you can just go around it and still unlock everything you need for related trophies.

8. Bunny hops! If you are attempting this trophy without having completed a bikeout map, then you first learn how to properly use the bunny hop. Remember that the longer you hold down (down analog), the higher you'll jump (up analog). Also, releasing the bunny hop at the middle of the ramp (usually where the skid marks end) will increase the height so be careful when doing that on boss ramps so you don't overshoot the mark (mainly on peaks).

Enjoy
