How to unlock the Rad Steez, Bro! achievement in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Definitive Guide
Head to the Western Gate fast travel point in Oxenfurt, Velen.
Using the above image as a guide, go towards the building with the little pole on the roof (just visible between the tree and past travel post above). You should then be looking at these two roof's
Simple drop down and run up the roof on the left. Geralt will begin sliding, and jam against the roof on the right. Simply hold him there (may need slight adjustments to stay in position) for 10 seconds and jump off. Achievement yours. Hope it helps!
Aim for the broad slide with goats that runs into the water, and slalom a little in there so you gain a couple of seconds, and you'll get the achievement easily.
Once you get there, just jump over the wall on the north side and slide down the mountain into the water. If you watch this video, it should give you an idea of the path I took. (Note: I already had the achievement, so it doesn't pop, but it is more than enough time to get the achievement)
While you can probably do this at any big cliff, there is one in particular without any bumps, and a nice obstacle free path (about 12 seconds of sliding too).
Yngvar's Fang in Northern Skellige is the place. First you need to travel to the top (lots of running and jumping), where you'll find a chest, signpost, and a place of power. Here's your slide. Slide down from the mountain, steering carefully, and you'll have a trophy a few second later.
Here's a picture of the island in question:
This is a good location for the trophy. It's where I got it and it's not difficult.
Skellige is the best place to get this, as it is an area with many mountains for you to slide downhill. One spot that works great is at the "Distillery". It is located on the main isle of Skellige towards the east. The entrance is located right by the slope of the cliff. Go off the wooden walkway and down the hill. Slide down for you trophy.
Accidentally came across this right in the heart of Velen, I think I was on a contract mission where you have to find an entrance into a hill. Running around it I came into sliding and ended up on that tree, and as I knew this achievement from the GOG version I played two years ago, I was just waiting that 10 second and - et voila! :-)
This achievement can be earned in An Skellig. Specifically, you’ll want to travel up to the Place of Power (Quen) on the northwestern tip of the island. If you’ve already been there however, you can use the Yngvar’s Fang fast travel point to reach your destination quickly.
Once you’re on the landing of the mountain, turn slightly to your right and you should notice a small walkway, built with stonewalls on either side. Continue down this walkway and the steps along the dirt path will cut off into a steep slope. Move off the path and onto the slope, causing Geralt to slide down the face of the mountainside for approximately 10.1 seconds. When you reach the bottom of the slope, you should be facing the open mouth of a cave and the achievement will unlock.
Place - Skellige,

After this trick, my trophy jingled.
