Here's an easy way to get both
The BACK IN THE SADDLE achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 worth 23 pointsAs the Jockey, ride the Survivors twice in a single life.
and
The QUALIFIED RIDE achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 worth 22 pointsAs the Jockey, ride a Survivor for more than 12 seconds.
with a minimum amount of effort:
- Play vs mode with two controllers: your profile as Infected and the second controller be the Survivors. Regardless of the map, use the Survivor to kill two of the other survivors.
- Once two of them are dead, spawn as the Jockey. Jump on the AI Survivor and ride him until he's downed*.
- Move your Jockey out of the downed AI's sight and bring the player controlled Survivor to the Jockey. This is so the downed AI cannot kill the Jockey.
- Use a health pack on your player controlled Survivor if he's damaged to ensure he's got plenty of health.
- Hop on the player controlled Survivor and ride him until he dies. You'll get both achievements.
*I didn't have any problems with getting out of the AI's sight in time, but if you wanted to play it safe, down the AI character twice first, so when the Jockey takes him down, he dies.
If you've got a friend on XBL, have them join you as a Spitter and you can easily knock out
The RODE HARD, PUT AWAY WET achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 worth 36 pointsAs the Jockey, ride a Survivor and steer them into a Spitter's acid patch.

Has there been an update since this or something? Whenever I try to do this the saferoom door is already open and continuous waves of normal and special infected keep spawning and fucking things up.

I was having trouble getting this in normal play, so I worked out how to do it using the two controller method.
Start up a Versus game with your main profile set to Infected and your guest as Survivor.
I did it on Dead Centre - Atrium, but this can be done on any map.
Using the guest, kill off two of the AI Survivors and then down the 3rd twice and then revive (So that next time they go down, they are dead).
Finally, open the saferoom door.
Then simply using the Infected on your main profile, spawn outside the Saferoom. Using the Jockey (Obviously, if you spawn as anything else, step into the room and let yourself get killed), jump onto the AI character and stay on there until they are down and dead. Then simply jump onto your guest account Survivor and it'll pop :)

Can be completed in any Campaign, Scavenge or Versus
The jockey does not kill to the end, but only incapacitates, so when you have disabled the first survivor, we run away from him and jump on the next victim. Look for the first victim with a small supply of health, so that you quickly disable it, and then jump on the second victim and that's it.

This is fairly straightforward. Wait until it's your turn to play as the Jockey and once you spawn, follow the survivors and pick off one survivor who is lagging behind. Run around the other survivors and jump on someone else.
You may have to try this a few times but if you play several games of Versus, you should have it in no time.
