UPHILL BATTLE SEASONAL CHALLENGE - SKATE 4

This challenge cannot be completed . A certain requirement for the challenge, specifically the “Grind the bus” requirement, does not register regardless of what you do. I have attempted this challenge almost 10 times and still have not figured out a solution to complete the challenge. I have come to the conclusion that it may possibly be glitched. I have proof of hitting the grind on the bus as well in the attachment below. Apologies for the quality of the photo in advance.

    Thank you for reporting this! The issue seems to be that the final bearing can be picked up before the grind registers, thus ending the challenge. What I'd recommend in the meantime is grinding the bus on the first lap instead of the second/last.

    The timing of bearing pickups seems to have changed with S3. I noticed this during the Skate Paddy's Day event, one of the line challenges at the Market Mile park had the same issue where it wouldn't count the grind on the final rainbow rail because you picked up the bearing before it could register. I don't recall this ever being an issue before S3 because it seemed like there was always a grace period after the final bearing was collected, but it's possible the challenges themselves were simply designed differently to ensure this didn't happen and that technique was forgotten with the implementation of speedlines.

  • I’m sure everyone has completed this challenge by now.

    but if anyone is still struggling with this. The best fix I have found is to add a quick drop ramp just before the in challenge ramp. This way you can grind the bus before hitting the last bearing and complete the line as intended. 

    to add a quick drop ramp you have to do it at the start of the challenge, you cannot add ramps once you have collected any bearings. 

    hope this helps ✌️
