How to unlock the Testing the Waters achievement in MX vs. ATV Alive - Definitive Guide

As the other guide does not say this, this has to be done on any ATV & NOT on an MX bike

Just load up Devils playgrounde in freeride mode & go straight at full speed & it should unlock very shortly after you start riding atop the water

Hydroplaning on a MX bike will increase your hydroplane stat under race medals but it wont work for this aachievement

Just got this achievement with the Blaze MX 125 so don't believe the solution when it says you HAVE to do this with an ATV.

This achievement may not unlock while using a MX. If you have trouble, switch to an ATV.

Okay, so you have to do this in Free Ride. Go to Devils Playground, and head over to where the water is at. You should see a big ship, Now, going full speed, go into the water while going toward the ship. You should go past 120 feet, and pop, achievement unlocked.

Edit: This achievement can be a bit glitchy. May take multiple times to unlock. This may also be done near the shore. Thanks to DoubleUD NL for this extra info.

I found it easier to do it close the shore. Also it should be noted that the achievement can be glitchy. I got it after numerous attempts, only to find out that I had hydroplaned for over 2 kilometers according to the in-game stats screen.

As the other solutions suggest, go to Free Ride and Devils Playground. Head for the water in the area near the boat.

BUT -before you do this, grab the hidden vehicle available in this level - a super fast little quad bike.

On this vehicle the achievement is so so easy, as it is powerful, quick but small (power to weight ratio is good).

Got this vehicle and got the achievement first try.

In free ride (Devil’s Playground location) drive straight to the water. Now just ride through the water for 120 feet, but make sure that you’re at the very edge of the water, practically on the beach. If you’re in too deep it won’t unlock.

Hydroplaning is driving fast enough over water so that your mx or atv “drives” on the water without sinking. This is best to be done in the Devil’s Playground Free Ride along the shoreline. Simply build up some speed, drive into the water and pull back on . You can crash in the water afterwards, you don't need to make it out of the water without drowning.
