Edit: TrueAchievements seems to have a limit on how many controller symbols that can be in a single post, I have had to delete all the quick time events from the guide, Episode 5 should now have controller inputs for the dialogs

Version 2 of this guide.

This Achievement is for getting a good skateboard rating when you complete the game, the game tallies up all your choices and relationship's between the three main characters and some choices brings the rating up and some bring the rating down.

My final skateboard rating was 80 per cent so you will see it go up and down during the chapters. There are a few things that will happen during the game that you know that you are on track to the best skateboard rating and that's when it says the team is coordinated if it says uncoordinated then you are not on track for the skateboard rating.

Also you must complete all QTE's that are in the game unless stated other wise in the game, as some failed QTE's can bring the skateboarding rating down so if you fail a QTE quickly go to dashboard and exit the game and then return to the game, the checkpoints are pretty generous in the game.
