NRG Challenge.

[Makavel1old]

Can anyone give me some tips on doing the NRG challeneg in San Fierro by the docks please?

I've tried all sorts, even getting a homeboy on the back for more weight but I've had no love!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers :)

this is how i did them:

if you get a checkpoint JUST as the time hits 00:00, you will get unlimited time. just park aiming toward one as close as possible, then drive forward when you think the time is right. i'm afraid i tried endlessly to do it in the correct time, but it was too hard, so if all else fails, try that.

Yeah? No shit? 00:00 on the dot!? I'm trying that tonight, many thanks.

it's exactly the same with the BMX challenge, mate.. but its hard to pull of with the NRG challenge, just keep trying as you can replay the mission as many times as u need to get infinite time.

basically accelerate toward the checkpoint when the time is between 1 second and 0 seconds. you'll either fail, gain another 10 seconds, or be granted infinite time (if you time it well enough)..

:wtf: Between? 01:00 & 0:00? How!?

when your time limit is counting down from 10, 9, 8 etc... position yourself as close as you can to ANY checkpoint, and try to be aiming directly toward it so you can accelerate straight thru it. when the time is at ... 1, 0... accelerate. by 01:00 i meant 1 second. between one second and zero seconds, go for the checkpoint. hopefully you will grab it at zero seconds, and be granted infinite time.
i hope that made more sense?

1) Do the infinite time trick.
2) Practice.
3) Try and get all of the ones on the ground first to gain a lot of time. Then try the ones in the air last.
4) It helps to have all bike skill.
5) It also helps to know where all of the coroners are.
6) For additional info check gamefaqs.com .
Hope this helps.

When you start head down the ramp collecting the coronas on the ramp. Next get the one in the center at the back wall. Continue to collect all the coronas on the bottom of the dock in a clock wise manor. Now head back to the back wall and point your bike at the other end of the dock. Run down just to the right of the center strip to get the corona sitting very high center, you need to lead forward as you start up the side to jump. You should land up top. Now collect the coronas around the top of the dock. After that you should have some time built up, so line up each run for the coronas you must jump to get. Moving the camera helps. Again you must lean forword as you start up the side of the dock to get enough height. It still will take some pratice.

That didn't work mate!

I done it simply by pushing up on the analog stick when I wasabout to hit the ramps.

[Donald Love's Assassin]

So, you've done it now?

[Makavel1old]

Yeah man, cheers.
