How to unlock the Perfect Race Star! achievement in Kinect Sports Season Two - Definitive Guide
To get this you must go through every set of flags on both runs on any course (Cumulatively over 6 races)
This can be done on any of the courses (DLC or defult) of your choosing and the 'Crystal Canyon' race is the easiest of the lot but you will need to go and do this over 'Racers Ridge' and 'Perilous Pass' to get:
And also over the 3 DLC courses which are 'Blackwood Blast', 'Pitch Black' and 'After Hours' to get:
Doing a perfect run is quite simple once you note the following things:
- This can be done Single Player or Multiplayer
- You do not need to win the race for it to count so you do not need to stress about being quick. If you continue to have trouble stand up straighter to slow yourself down
- You cannot over lean. You will not run outside of the course lines so feel free to lean hard to the side of the run to get in the flags
- If you hit a flag it will count as going through it
- If you miss one it will let you know
- You do not need a perfect run out of the gate
- You do not need to jump. I would suggest keeping your feet planted and use the few seconds off the jump to see where the next one is going to be
- If you miss a gate go straight into the Kinect Pause pose and select 'Restart Race'
- Race a Rookie Opponent, the harder the opponent the hrader the gate placement.
Here is my suggested way to race:
Note:
- Legs spread far apart to make tighter turns
- Hands resting on knees to support yourself and make the position more comfortable
This can be done on any of the courses (DLC or defult) of your choosing and the 'Crystal Canyon' race is the easiest of the lot but you will need to go and do this over 'Racers Ridge' and 'Perilous Pass' to get:

I was going to vote negatively just for the bare feet but the goggles and hat just tipped it in your favour!

For this achievement you can race on any track you like but you have to have a perfect race. Also note that you do have to have each ski run perfect in order for it to count. (There are two runs per race)
I did the very first race over and over when I got this because I found that race to be the quickest and easiest. (Crystal Canyon)
Things that are not required for this achievement to unlock:
1. You do not have to get a perfect start on any of the races
2. You are allowed to hit the gates, you just cannot completely miss them on the outside.
3. Perfect jumps also do not count toward this achievement. So if you miss one during a run, you can still earn this achievement.
4. You do not have to do the 6 perfect races in succession. So in other words you can have 4 perfect races, mess up on your 5th, and start another race up and it will still unlock after 2 more perfect races.
Notes:
You can set the difficulty to whatever you like to get the achievement.(Credit to J BIGGS SFV OG) However the harder the difficulty, the more gates their will be. (Credit to Lexprod)
Runner7922 confirmed that you can lose a race and still earn the achievement.
Thanks everybody for helping out with the guide!

Difficulty does not matter at all for this achievement

I got this achievement on the easiest level and I lost one race (while I still passed through all the gates). It is actually difficult to lose a race because if you get all the gates your AI opponent is bound to miss one or two and therefore the resulting penalty will more than make up for your deliberate slowness.

A perfect race means not missing any gates. You are free to hit the gates, so long as you don’t miss them, so take your time. Also, a perfect start or perfect jumps are not required, and you don't need to win the race.
