in the main menu you have to select "free skate/high score mode"

Once you're in the level you need to pause it and select "start a high score run" and it will start a 2:00 minute timer for you to set your high score.

That names might not be completely correct because I'm going from memory but that's the gist of it.

I should also note that this is the best mode to get all the gaps (with the exception of 4 gaps in the Skate ranch that are removed in free-skate mode for some reason).

Still not able to get it huh  sad.gif

did you got and start a new game as soon as you got all the gaps? Maybe it didn't save the last few gaps you got? (free skate mode doesn't ask you to save when you exit, you have to remember to do it manually)

maybe it didn't save a high score, so you got the achievement but the save game doesn't have it marked off?

I've heard of that happening with other games, you get the achievement and forget to save, the achievement has already been unlocked but the save game doesn't have it on record as being completed yet. For instance there was some guy in the condemned thread who went through all the levels collecting the birds. once he'd collected the birds in a level, it would give him the achievement and he would exit, but it didn't actually save it progress if he didn't complete the level, so he had received all the individual level bird achievements but not the whole game bird achievements.

I save almost every 10 minutes even if I didn't get a gap.  I went to the progress screen, I have story normal complete and classic normal complete and all the gaps are also listed there, all acounted for.  I guess I'll have to go beat easy and sick story/classic.. not really looking forward to it with all the new games coming out soon though.   sleep.gif

i see, i see

though the LIVE achievments I think are even easier then the High Score ones.

once you've got all the levels unlocked host a live game and allow only 1 other player, start a level, wait for the achievment, exit and start another level, wait for the achievment, repeat...  laugh.gif
