Skater XL has an achievement that takes over 100 days to unlock

3.8
Skater XL has an achievement that can only be unlocked after travelling over 40,000 in-game kilometres, which would take you approximately 2,700 hours of doing virtual ollies.

Trophy hunters are not happy. If you’ve managed to nab every other achievement in Skater XL, and are becoming increasingly infuriated by the dastardly “Travel over 40.075 km in total” one, I’m afraid I’m about to ruin your day.

Apparently the dot has managed to wander three decimal places to the right, which is a bit inconvenient for people who don’t want to skateboard the exact circumference of the earth. It’s either that or the distance tracker is broken – either way, it was supposed to be a manageable joke, but has instead become a near-impossible feat.

True Achievements reported that one particularly avid virtual skateboarder has taken to wrapping an elastic band around their controller to keep the X button pressed down. That way they can keep going down a ramp instead of having to manually control their skateboarder – however, although this method is quicker, it still takes 46 days to unlock.

Base PS4 owners like myself will have to get used to the sound of a jet engine cooling fan, it seems. People have confirmed that the distance tracker goes up by 1% every 12-15 hours using this method, so it definitely works. It’s still a bit absurd though. I feel bad for the skateboarders, who must be getting very tired.

Mario350 40k miles is nothing in the game just keep skating dont skate the same spot lol, i have what 100k miles traveled in skate 2 and 3 which didnt take me 100 days it only took me like a day and a half, so no in this game its not that hard to do just stop skating the same spot over and over


A day to do 100k miles? I somehow doubt that...

Travelling is travelling in this game, you can set a loop to auto run 200m in around 15 seconds and using this method will still take over a month of running. This is a lot of grinding. Also it's not skate 3 and you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.


Perhaps you're just not enough of a gamer to achieve this
PM me when you achieve it (;
Perhaps there's not enough content that any players really going to achieve it considering 0.001% of people that played the game have.

That's a really cool achievement even if it's a long long time to beat. It'll have you keep coming back to beat the achievement.
