Snow Shoes and Rand Grenades

On my quest to 200k, I most recently played Ski-Doo Challenge. I had heard a little about this game and how frustrating some of the achievements could be. I played the game for around 3 hours and had 800 points; I thought the rest was going to be easy. So, I took a break, watched Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, did some errands, and came back to finish it.

The career kind of got on my nerves sometimes because of how annoying the other drivers were. Every time you slide just a little too much, it seems the AI is always right behind you and they always hit you... several times; and somehow you get to last place before you re-spawn from the crash. Anyway, I finished the career for all the collectibles and only had 3 achievements left: Double Backflip, Double Frontflip, and Orbit (stay airborne for 5 seconds).

I had done some reading in the forums and found out that the backflip is much harder than the frontflip. It was weird when I found out, that wasn't the case for me. I almost immediately got the Orbit achievement, and it took me another 30 minutes to get the backflip, and just barely. I then proceeded to try and do a frontflip for the next 2 hours. That was the most frustrated I've gotten in a long time. After doing everything perfectly for almost the entire time and not having enough rotation, I decided to change my rider; yes, my rider.

I picked the first option (all stats are average) oppose to my previous rider, (a lot of strength, no agility) and I did a double frontflip the first time, but didn't land it correctly. All I had to do was select the correct rider, and I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.

With the completion of Ski-Doo I also gained a spot on the Wisconsin Leaderboard to 3rd, but was quickly passed up again. Now to go re-pass him playing the rest of the DLC in Fallout. 1550, here I come!
