How to unlock the You're special! achievement in Pure - Definitive Guide

To achieve this you need to complete all the Special Tricks in a single World Tour event. I didn't get this before completing the tour so went back and redid the 2nd round in Elka Suspension (Stage 8) which is a freestyle event at Sandy Mountain. You don't need to complete all the tricks with each rider just each unique trick once during the tour along with the Signature tricks for each rider. Just keep doing fresh tricks or lookout for the yellow stars to do the special tricks. The achievement unlocks once you have successfully performed all tricks after landing the final one during the race. For the tricks to count you need to complete the event and start the race again.

this guide is very useful specially for directions. As stated, you need to only perform each trick once (eg propeller only once though several characters have it) I found easier to go for specialized first, then once you have this, you are 8 tricks closer, including all diagonals, and one character less... just use the same track for both achievements

I just got the achievement without completing the event. In fact, I got it without ever even playing as Rosa (glitch?), but it unlocked once I performed the stunt, but before I landed.

You don't actually have to finish any events, you just have to successfully perform the trick...

I got the last few signature tricks by starting the level getting the star on the right jump (restarting if not present) and then quitting as soon as I landed with no problems.

You're special!
Perform every special trick in the game (during an event)
All the other solutions are valid ways to do this, but they do contain misleading information. The special tricks can be performed in any event, not just a World Tour Event and quitting an Event also has no effect on this achievement. To unlock all the special tricks you must come first place in every race.

This solution describes the easiest and quickest way to get this achievement.

From the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Race, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Todd Andrews.

Sandy Mountain has 3 huge jumps per lap that you can comfortably perform a special trick on. I recommend using an ATV with a Class A engine, and a Tricks rating of 100. A Trial Mode Race Event has no other drivers and unlimited laps, so build up your boost until you unlock Special Trick, then perform these eight Special Tricks (should take about 3 laps):

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Superhero
cn_LSd cn_LB+cn_RB - Shaolin Funk
cn_LSl cn_LB+cn_RB - Rockstar
cn_LSr cn_LB+cn_RB - Horseboxer
cn_LSul cn_LB+cn_RB - Sidewinder
cn_LSur cn_LB+cn_RB - Twister
cn_LSdl cn_LB+cn_RB - Whirlwind
cn_LSdr cn_LB+cn_RB - Gyromaniac

Once you have done all eight, quit the Event.

Alternatively, from the Main Menu select World Tour, choose Stage 10 Lonestar Racing, then choose Event 5 Race: Sandy Mountain, and you can get the achievement
PureSpecializedThe Specialized achievement in Pure worth 112 pointsPerform 8 different special tricks in a single World Tour event.
Next, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Rosa Juarez. A Trial Mode Freestyle Event has no other drivers. Either pick up a Special Trick Yellow Star or build up your boost until you unlock Special Trick, then perform these three Special Tricks:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Flat Out Varial
cn_LSd cn_LB+cn_RB - Saddleflip
cn_LSl cn_LB+cn_RB - Torpedo

Once you have done all three, quit the Event.

Next, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Suzi Andrews. This time perform these two Special Tricks:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Lazygirl
cn_LSr cn_LB+cn_RB - Propeller

Once you have done both, quit the Event.

Next, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Clayton Wade. This time perform this Special Trick:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Far Out

Once you have done it, quit the Event.

Next, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Takeshi Yukio. This time perform this Special Trick:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Blindside Holyman (aka Blind Faith)

Once you have done it, quit the Event.

Next, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Jay Valdes. This time perform this Special Trick:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - Airguitar

Once you have done it, quit the Event.

Finally, from the Main Menu select Trial Mode, then select Freestyle, then select Sandy Mountain, then select Bret Taylor. This time perform this Special Trick:

cn_LSu cn_LB+cn_RB - High Noon

As soon as you land the achievement will unlock.

By far the best solution for this achievement. Most of the other solutions are kind of misleading.

confirm this works. But you should have said that you unlock all the tricks after you got in every Race first place. And somehow the Name Blindside Holyman is Blind Faith for me. Thanks for the solution anyway.

Best solution. Should be on the top.
It would also be good to say (as nanoc1111 said above me) that you need to be first place in every race to unlock all special tricks.

Came back on this game after 10 years for my Happy Birthda(Y) TA Challenge. Completed it fully back then but could never work this one out. It appears other characters had their pwn specials so it was a quick finish, as this solution was extrememly helpful. Thanks. :)

As above... you need to do every special trick in the game, in a World Tour event. To do this, you'll have to have unlocked all 8 directional special tricks (which you'll do if you come first in all races).

These are the characters and their tricks (sorry, I don't have the directions):

Name: Todd Andrews
Unique Stunt: Superhero
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Horse Boxer, Rock Star, Shaolin Funk, Sidewinder, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Rosa Juarez
Unique Stunt: Flat Out Varial
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Horse Boxer, Saddleflip, Sidewinder, Torpedo, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Suzi Andrews
Unique Stunt: Lazy Girl
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Propeller, Rock Star, Saddleflip, Sidewinder, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Clayton Wade
Unique Stunt: Far Out
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Horse Boxer, Shaolin Funk, Sidewinder, Torpedo, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Takeshi Yukio
Unique Stunt: Blind Faith
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Propeller, Rock Star, Shaolin Funk, Sidewinder, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Jay Valdes
Unique Stunt: Air Guitar
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Rock Star, Shaolin Funk, Sidewinder, Torpedo, Twister, Whirlwind

Name: Bret Taylor
Unique Stunt: High Noon
Shared Stunts: Gyromaniac, Horse Boxer, Saddleflip, Sidewinder, Torpedo, Twister, Whirlwind

I'd completed the game with Jay, so I just did a World Tour race with each character, making sure I pulled their Unique Stunt (UP and Special) as well as any of the 'Shared Stunts' that Jay didn't have (eg. Horse Boxer), then completed the race, changed character and did it again.

By the time I got to Bret, I'd therefore pulled all the shared tricks, so as soon as I landed his High Noon, the achievement unlocked.

i got the achievement now, make sure you do it in a world tour event (ghost creek in race is excellent) and just to be sure, land them, not just perform them as i'm not a 100% sure you dont have to land them.

This does not have to be done on world tour. I would recommend going into sinle event on Ghost Creak and work through the tricks until you have done them all.

Perfect thank you. One thing I'd add - If you do this during a single Freestyle event (Ghost Creek recommended), then once you have pulled the stunts you need for that character you can just crash a few times and let the gas run out. Saves a fair bit of time, just in case the game only 'saves' your progress once the race ends. Not sure whether it would work if you just quit out after pulling your stunts, and the alternative of finishing the same race 8 times is a pain!

Even though all the above guides pretty much some up all of the tricks I found that grouping them together helped me get this faster and easier.There are a total of 17 Special Tricks, from which 7 are unique and 10 are available to different characters. Below is a list that shows each trick and who can pull it off.

Just to clarify if 4 guys have the exact same trick YOU DO NOT have to do it with each one 4 times. Just one time with ANY of them is enough.

Unique Tricks - LB + RB + UP

Superhero - Todd Andrews
Flat Out Varial - Rosa Juarez
Lazy Girl - Suzi Andrews
Far Out - Clayton Wade
Blind Faith - Takeshi Yukio
Air Guitar - Jay Valdes
High Noon - Bret Taylor

Tricks Pulled-Off only by Some

Horse Boxer - Todd Andrews, Rosa Juarez, Clayton Wade and Bret Taylor
Rock Star - Todd Andrews, Suzi Andrews, Takeshi Yukio and Jay Valdes
Shaolin Funk - Todd Andrews, Clayton Wade, Takeshi Yuki and Jay Valdes
Torpedo - Rosa Juarez, Clayton Wade, Jay Valdes and Bret Taylor
Saddleflip - Rosa Juarez, Suzi Andrews and Bret Taylor
Propeller - Suzi Andrews and Takeshi Yukio

Tricks Pulled-Off by Everyone

Twister - Everyone
Gyromaniac - Everyone
Sidewinder - Everyone
Whirlwind - Everyone


To get this achievement I printed this list. Went to the World Tour Freestyle Event at Mount Garda chose Bret, because he can do most of them and just performed each of the tricks; ticking them off as I went. To make sure it registered each the tricks I finished each event (I just bailed until I run out of gas).

I then had to do only the very few special that are exclusive to only one character and the achievement popped as soon as I landed the last one.

Thanks for reading, credits go to Fiesty Puppy from X360Achievements who combined/composed this list and I hope I have helped make things easier for you

This achievement can be pretty misleading, but you just have to perform every special trick in the game once. They also have to be done in a World Tour event. I personally just went on a later race and did it with each character, performing each of the 8 specials for each character and then finishing the race.

You don't need to do all 8 for each character as a lot of them are the same for other characters, but it's easier to do it this way. Unless of course you have a guide to what each of the special tricks are, which most people won't.

If your trying for this firstly you must have completed the World Tour mode and unlocked Bret Taylor and the unlockable Special Tricks

Now I did this on Trial Mode as there are no other racers who will steal the Gold Star Special Trick pick ups.I used
an A'class ATV with the tricks set to 100% just incase there were low gold star pick ups.

I chose Freestyle mode on PHU TEMPLES as there are some great jumps, I also chose the first rider (Todd Andrews).
Once you enter the race try build up your Trick bar until you can perform your first special trick. I did the commen moves
first and then went to the riders own moves. Make sure to land the bike otherwise the move doesn't count. I just made basic
jumps until i hit a big jump spot and performed each special trick. Once the riders moves are finished stop the bike and let
the fuel run out. Once the freestyle is over and your back at the main menu repeat this process with the next rider
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPEAT THE COMMON MOVES.

I did every Special Trick for each rider until the achievement popped but i understand repetative moves
(EG. SHOALIN FUNK = Down + Special with Todd Andrews, Clayton Wade, Takeshi Yukio and Jay Valdes) counts as long as one of the riders
have done this move. I just wanted to make sure just incase facepalm. My achievement popped at Bret Taylors HIGH NOON (Signature Trick Move)

Special Tricks: RB + LB

Common to every rider:-
Up Left + Special = SIDEWINDER
Up Right + Special = TWISTER
Down Left + Special = WHIRLWIND
Down Right + Special = GYROMANIAC

Todd Andrews:-
Up + Special = SUPERHERO (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SHAOLIN FUNK
Left + Special = ROCKSTAR
Right + Special = HORSEBOXER

Rosa Juarez:-
Up + Special = FLAT OUT VARIAL (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SADDLEFLIP

Suzi Andrews

Left + Special = ROCKSTAR
Right + Special = PROPELLER

Clayton Wade
Up + Special = FAR OUT (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SHAOLIN FUNK
Left + Special = TORPEDO
Right + Special = HORSEBOXER

Takeshi Yukio
Up + Special = BLINDFAITH/BLINDSIDE HOLYMAN (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SHAOLIN FUNK
Left + Special = ROCKSTAR
Right + Special = PROPELLER

Jay Valdes
Up + Special = AIRGUITAR (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SHAOLIN FUNK
Left + Special = ROCKSTAR
Right + Special = TORPEDO

Special Unlockable Rider: Bret Taylor
Up + Special = HIGH NOON (Signature Trick Move)
Down + Special = SADDLEFLIP
Left + Special = TORPEDO
Right + pecial = HORSEBOXER

You don't have to complete the race for the tricks to count. You did it on one character, feel free to leave the race and choose another, and so on.
